The Wet Tropics is one of the most significant ecosystems in the world. It provides an unparalleled living record of the ecological and evolutionary processes that shaped the flora and fauna of Australia over the past 415 million years. The Wet Tropics represents less than 0.001% of the land surface of Australia but has the highest diversity of species on the continent. I could go on forever with statistics about this amazing part of the world but I'll save it for another time. I'm fortune enough to be living in a nature refuge within The Wet Tropics and I'm having a real hard time deciding whether to stay outside and explore the area or stay inside and draw every beautiful thing I see! There are harder decisions in life, I know, but for now this is my toughest. -- #wettropics #worldheritagearea #rainforest #waterfall #conservation #conservationartist #queensland #australia #wildtropics #tropicsday #tropical (at Tully-Falls-Nationalpark)
