[edit] Original Research?

I don't see any reference to what the original research is, so I am deleting that warning.Lokiloki 06:23, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Nevermind, I see where the problem is... I found a few blog entries about the Daintree buy-back program and surrounding controversy, but I assume these are insufficient as citations. Lokiloki 06:23, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Oldest rainforest & age content

Removed the following text from the article, pending citation

The Daintree Rainforest covers 0.2% of Australias landmass, it is the eldest rainforest in the world. 
Formed 135 Million years ago.

Suggested rewording:

The Daintree Rainforest is the oldest rainforest in the world. It was formed 135 Million years ago[citation needed].

[edit] Largest rainforest

Daintree is Australia's largest contigupuis areas of rainforest.

Firstly, what does "contigupuis" mean? And secondly, isn't there a larger rainforest in Tasmania? Tangerine Cossack (talk) 12:59, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Tarkine for example: "This wilderness covers approximately 3,800 km²." Tangerine Cossack (talk) 03:44, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
