Waterfalls of the Daintree DVD
$39.50
A 27-minute nature DVD capturing the rainforest and waterfalls of the Daintree District, with ambient nature sounds and original music by Ken Davis. A calm, visually reminiscence DVD for seniors in aged-care settings.
This reminiscence DVD for seniors brings the sights and sounds of Far North Queensland’s Daintree rainforest into aged-care activity sessions. The footage moves through lush forest scenery and cascading waterfalls, accompanied by ambient nature sounds and original music composed by Ken Davis. A tropical thunderstorm passes through mid-journey before the atmosphere settles back to calm — giving the viewing experience a gentle, natural arc.
