TENTATIVE NESTS Owned by aging hippies and billed as "an eco-educational
overnight rainforest experience:' You get a tent big enough for two right in the rainforest, plus bush-tucker (indigenous food) dinner
and breakfast for around $80. Phone: 61-70-939555; www.cairns.aust.com/tentnests/index.html
COCON UT BEACH RAINFOREST RESORT
An upscale version of Tentative Nests, with $300 condos instead of $80 tents. But the spirit of rainforest worship is the same.
Coconut Beach preserves the rainforest. There's one tree right in the
middle of the resort that grows about 3 feet every hundred years and it's 50 feet tall. Phone: 61-70-980033 JULATTEN MOUNTAIN RETREAT
A clothing-optional estate with a pool, sauna, spa, trails on
35 acres, and an outdoor tub with a view across the Black Mountain Range. Be nice and you'll get to sip the owner's mango moonshine.
Rates are $40-$120. Phone: 51-70-941282 •
