Greetings! 
Welcome to our first newsletter! We aim to provide interesting information about our rainforest, its wildlife and our wonderful Cairns Highlands region.
 
Each season brings a unique set of experiences and discoveries, and this issue is about spring at The Canopy. A time of hope and renewal. A time to lie back, recharge yourself, enjoy our all-new spa treatments and watch in awe as nature works her magic.
 
What's more, you can enjoy our luxurious treehouses at low, low prices this spring - see our special rates below.
Wildlife Focus 
Victoria's Riflebird
 
Riflebird1A member of the Bird of Paradise family, this inquisitive bird features on our logo and delights guests by appearing regularly at our treehouse balconies.
 
Riflebird 2
The male Riflebird performs an elaborate courtship dance, and with the mating season taking place now through January, visitors in coming months may be lucky to see this ritual for themselves - a truly memorable experience. Click here for more photos and info about the Victoria's Riflebird.

Watching river 
Did you know that The Canopy is more than 2,000 feet above sea level? Our climate is milder and less humid than on the coast, so as the build-up to the tropical summer begins, now is the perfect time for locals to get away and for visitors to include The Canopy in your tropical holiday.
 
We're offering 20% off standard low season rates for newsletter readers, for any stay between now and Christmas.

Butterfly and flower
Macro photography can provide a unique window on the rainforest, capturing amazing details on flowers, plants, insects and frogs. 
 
Few have pursued this special technique as avidly as our prize-winning photographer and manager, Sharon.
 
An album of Sharon's stunning close-up images from the rainforest is posted on our Facebook page, along with tips on how you can take your own holiday masterpieces. Click here to check them out!

Mamu Rainforest Canopy Walkway
 
Mamu walkway
Only 30 minutes away, this new attraction features a 350m long elevated walkway, a 37 metre high observation tower with views over the Johnstone River and more than a kilometre of ground level walking trails.
 
It's winning rave early reviews, and we think it's a perfect complement to The Canopy Treehouses!
