Daintree Discovery Centre reaches one million visitors

Kath and Max Love from Yass in NSW were surprised by all the attention when they visited the Daintree Discovery Centre. But they soon learned they had taken the centre's visitor numbers across the one million mark. Presenting Mr and Mrs Love with a personalised tour of the centre, a copy of Fruits of the Forest book by Bill Cooper and a basket of goodies, with a value in excess of $1000, centre owners Pam and Ron Birket expressed their joy at reaching their landmark.

"We're so excited to have reached one million visitors," Mr Birkett said. "This is a fairly good milestone to have achieved."

One of the drawcards of the centre is the 24m high canopy tower, the only one of its kind in Australia.
