So that'd be in the Daintree? Lucky her. It's pretty hot up there in the summer though, and she'll need good bug spray. I have family up there if she needs anything adulty in the way of help. Tell her to watch out for crocs, snakes and stingers in the ocean. Maybe sharks too! and in the rainforest, feral pigs! I assume they give them at least a brief talk about all these things, but seriously, even locals can get caught out so it's worth being vigilant.

BTW, do you remember my husband is an environmental scientist? He teaches at a Uni here on the coast. If she's after a fun class to do about marine ecology early in the new year, he does a camp at an island where they study all that stuff. I can give you the details if she's interested. It's usually in February.
