🌿 Floravilla Friday 🌿
A journey back to 1996… and back 120 million years 🌱

Hidden within the lush green world we call The Daintree lies a living story older than imagination… and Betty Hinton set out to capture it one brushstroke at a time. 🎨

Betty’s remarkable project “Ancient and Primitive Flowering Plants of Australia” documented plants that have survived against all odds through the millennia — a living connection to the ancient Gondwana rainforests.

Of the 21 flowering plant families featured in the project, an incredible 16 can be found right here between the Daintree and Bloomfield Rivers, with many concentrated around the Cape Tribulation rainforest. How lucky are we to walk amongst these ancient treasures every day? 🌿

These plants aren’t just beautiful — some have fossil records dating back over 40 million years, while others have changed so little over time they give scientists a glimpse into Earth’s ancient past.

In 1996, Betty demonstrated her watercolour work at Cairns Regional Gallery, alongside the exhibition celebrating legendary botanical artist Ellis Rowan. Betty was described as gaining international recognition for her Australian flora artwork — a wonderful honour amongst botanical art history.

Betty’s vision was simple but extraordinary:
✨ Through art, create a realistic record of plants that have survived through time. ✨

Today at Daintree Floravilla Ice Creamery & Art Gallery, that same love of nature, art and rainforest continues. Come wander the gardens, enjoy an ice cream, and remember… you’re not just visiting a rainforest — you’re stepping into a living museum millions of years in the making. 🌿🍦

🌿🍨 The churns have been working overtime at Daintree Floravilla Ice Creamery!

Keeping up with demand for two of our most-loved flavours:

💚 Daintree Rainforest – our signature flavour, inspired by the lush beauty that surrounds us. A unique blend of lemon myrtle, coconut, ginger, vanilla, kale and spirulina.

✨ Spices of Life – a warming combination of ginger, vanilla, cinnamon and turmeric. Customers often say it tastes just like a creamy chai in ice cream form!

It seems these rainforest favourites have developed quite a following. The hardest decision for visitors? Choosing between them… or simply having both! 😋

Which one would you choose – Daintree Rainforest or Spices of Life? 🌴🍦👇

🍦 The churns have been working overtime at Daintree Floravilla Ice Creamery today!

Freshly made and ready to tempt the tastebuds:
✨ Vanilla – the creamy classic that never goes out of fashion.
☕ Coffee Cream – smooth, rich and oh-so-satisfying.
🍒 Cherry Ripe – made with hand-cut cherries… a true labour of love ❤️ (and yes, our fingers know it!).
🐉 Dragon Fruit – vibrant, tropical and bursting with colour.

All lovingly churned with organic Mungalli milk and organic fruit, right here in the rainforest.

Now the big question is… which flavour would you choose first? 🍨😋🌴

🐊 Happy World Croc Day! 🐊

Travelling down to Cairns, we made a quick stop at the public viewing area on the Mowbray River — and what a treat it was!

Not one, but TWO crocodiles were out in all their prehistoric glory, basking in the sunshine and looking perfectly content with life. It seems they got the memo that today is World Croc Day and decided to make a special appearance!

Living in Tropical North Queensland, we’re fortunate to share our beautiful environment with these incredible ancient reptiles. Whether you’re exploring the Daintree or travelling along the coast, always keep your eyes open — you never know what wildlife might be waiting to greet you.

Here’s wishing all our scaly locals a wonderful World Croc Day. Stay cool, stay wild, and enjoy your day… preferably from a safe distance! 😄🐊

Daintree Floravilla Ice Creamery

What a delight to welcome a wonderful group of students from Melbourne who are exploring the incredible environment of the Greater Daintree Wet Tropics.

After settling into the tropical gardens with organic ice cream in hand, the questions started flowing! Betty shared stories and insights about the rainforest, its remarkable flora, the vital role of cassowaries as rainforest gardeners, and the fascinating connections that make this ancient ecosystem so unique.

The students were especially interested in biodiversity and the intricate relationships between plants, wildlife, climate and landscape that have evolved over millions of years in the Daintree.

There is something rather special about learning in a rainforest garden while enjoying freshly made organic ice cream. Education never tasted so good!

Thank you for your enthusiasm, curiosity and thoughtful questions. We hope your time in the Daintree inspires a lifelong appreciation for one of the world’s most extraordinary natural environments. 🌿🍦🦤

Who knows what discoveries await on the rest of your Daintree adventure? Keep your eyes open—the rainforest always has a surprise waiting. 🌱✨

Daintree Floravilla Ice Creamery

A special moment captured during the filming of ABC Back Roads. While the cameras were rolling and stories of Floravilla were being shared, there was also another reason to celebrate — Betty’s birthday!

The wonderfully thoughtful crew from ABC Back Roads surprised Betty with a beautiful chocolate and raspberry cake, making the day even more memorable. Surrounded by good company, plenty of smiles, and the lush rainforest setting of Floravilla, it was a birthday celebration to remember.

A heartfelt thank you to the ABC Back Roads crew for your kindness, generosity, and for making Betty’s special day just that little bit sweeter. 🎂🍫🍓

Some days at Floravilla are simply magical, and this was certainly one of them. 🌿✨

🎬 Lights, camera… Daintree Floravilla ice cream! 🍦🌿

What an absolutely fun and memorable day filming with the wonderful crew from ABC Back Roads. We covered so many aspects of life at Daintree Floravilla Ice Creamery and spent time sharing the stories, art and passion of Betty Hinton that make Floravilla such a unique part of the Daintree.

A huge thank you to Lisa, Kirsten, Aaron and Jimmy for your enthusiasm, professionalism and good humour throughout the day. You made the experience enjoyable from start to finish, and we loved showcasing a little slice of our rainforest paradise with you.

We can’t wait to see the finished story. Safe travels and thank you for helping share the magic of Floravilla with Australia! 🌿🎨🍦✨
