    Did you know Kangaroo’s are Left-Handed?

    Humans and some other primates exhibit “handedness,” or the tendency to use one hand more naturally than the other. Scientists once thought this was a unique feature of primate evolution, but more recent research suggests handedness is also common in kangaroos.

    Based on research with red kangaroos, eastern greys, and red-necked wallabies, researchers have found the animals are primarily left-handed, using that hand for tasks such as grooming and eating about 95% of the time. Their hands also seem to be specialised for different types of work, with kangaroos typically using their left hand for precision and their right for strength. This challenges the idea that handedness is unique to primates, researchers say, noting it may be an adaptation to bipedalism.

    Did you know Australia is home to the world’s oldest tropical rainforest!

    The Daintree Rainforest, located in Tropical North Queensland about 3 hours north of Cairns, is the oldest tropical rainforest in the world! This relatively small but stunning corner of Australia is estimated to be anywhere from 35 million to 180 million years old, which is at least 10 million years older than the Amazon Rainforest.

    The Daintree Rainforest is also special because it’s a World Heritage Site. Located just offshore from the Daintree lies the Great Barrier Reef, which is also a World Heritage Site. So when you visit Cape Tribulation in the heart of the Daintree, you’re visiting the only place in the world where two World Heritage Sites meet!

    Did you know Tasmania has the cleanest air in the world!

    More specifically, Cape Grim in northwest Tasmania is said to have the cleanest air in the world. According to the Cape Grim Baseline Air Pollution Station, the strong winds that blow in from the Southern Ocean near Antarctica help keep the air pure and free of pollutants. So take that much-needed “breath of fresh air” to a new level by heading down to Tassie and inhaling the cleanest air on Earth!

    Did you know! Around 80% of the wildlife is endemic to Australia, meaning it can only be found here! According to the Australian Wildlife Conservancy, 87% of mammals, 93% of reptiles, 94% of frogs, and 45% of birds in Australia ONLY exist in Australia.

    From iconic kangaroos and koalas, to elusive echidnas and wombats, you can see some of the world’s most unique wildlife Down Under. Australia is also home to the only mammals that lay eggs: the platypus and the echidna.
