Add 3 hours to Cairns times for Daintree Village Tide Times.
(as with all tide predictions weather can influence the actual event. Imagine what the Daintree River, see below, can be like in the wet season?)

 Cairns Post photo of the ferry crossing during the March 1996 flood. The ferry is the rectangular object at the bottom. The gentleman fishing in the other photo is wearing an "Outernet" which provides protection from biting insects, particularly the almost invisible SANDFLIES  which are found near the saltwater parts of the coast. Sandflies are not noticed until after they leave your body and you feel the itch, which you scratch and scratch and scratch. E-mail Chris for details and how to get an "Outernet".
