Most people walk through Cairns Botanic Gardens and see plants. Bridgette Gower walks through and sees a thousand tiny creatures.
With over 2,000 hours in these gardens, she knows where White-lipped Tree Frogs shelter, where Net-casting Spiders set up at dusk, and which host plants the caterpillars favour. On this two-hour night walk, she shares all of it, from Striped Possums to Papuan Frogmouths.
The route changes with the season. Frogs are reliable year-round. Expect eyeshines before you see the creatures behind them, and the chance to photograph a Papuan Frogmouth sitting perfectly still.
Groups are capped at eight. Bridgette gives real attention to your questions, interests, and camera settings. Photography guidance is part of the experience.
Camera hire available from A$40 to A$80. Beginner to advanced options. Reserve after booking, pay on the day.
Wear comfortable clothes, closed-toe shoes, and long sleeves.
