About this audio guide
This guide to Wildlife Habitat in Port Douglas follows the money behind the animal enclosures, not just the animals in them. It traces the park back to a sign that once read Rainforest Habitat, and to Charles and Pip Woodward, a Cairns couple who built a tourism business from one Kuranda park and a fleet of amphibious Army Duck tours starting in nineteen seventy-six. You will hear how a struggling wildlife sanctuary near Port Douglas became one purchase among several. Best heard walking slowly past the enclosures, watching for what else the place is quietly telling you.
