## How you would actually start

- Check whether the promise holds

“The world's oldest surviving tropical rainforest, continuously present for 180 million years. Crocodiles in the river, cassowaries in the bush.” That is the pitch. Spend an hour on first-hand accounts rather than listicles — what it costs, how long it really takes, and what people wish they had known.

- Work out when to go

Seasons are inverted, and the far south has a narrow window. Book further ahead than feels sensible.

- Find the small version first

Somewhere nearer will tell you whether you actually like this kind of trip, for a fraction of the cost.

- Put it somewhere you will see it

An intention you have not written down is a mood. A list you revisit is a decision you keep making.
