Tropical North Queensland’s climate is characterised by two distinct seasons: the dry season from April to November and the ‘green season’, from December to March. The Green Season is an important part of the tropical weather cycle and plays a vital role in the revitalisation of the plant and animal life post the dry.
Low hanging clouds on the mountains and the vibrant green tones of the landscape are enough to inspire one’s inner Monet and contrary to popular belief, the sun still peeks out of the clouds and there are plenty of sunny beach-going days during this period.
“Summer in Queensland means mango season: chin-dribbling, sweet and delicious, the renowned ‘fruit of the gods’ are in abundance from November through to May.”
Add once-in-a-lifetime Great Barrier Reef coral spawning events, epic waterfalls, abundant wildlife and the fact that it’s mango and lychee season and there are plenty of reasons to put the green light on a green season stay.
Perhaps most tempting: is there anything cosier than spending the night rugged up in a timber treehouse while listening to rain patter down on the canopy? Throw in a hammock for two, a glass of wine and spa bath with rainforest views and you’ve got yourself the ultimate cosy trifecta. Renowned as the region’s luxury bolt-hole, Silky Oaks Lodge is the perfect base to experience the remarkable spectacle of the Daintree in its prime.
