Nestled in the center of the Daintree Rainforest, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, lies an amazing location known as Noah’s Valley. Surrounded by National Park, this privately owned land is a veritable treasure trove of rare and endangered species of flora and animals. It’s referred to as a “refugium,” a sanctuary where certain species have flourished unhindered for millions of years. Several plant species are specific to this region.
