& Affiliate Disclosure

These terms explain the basis on which Rainforest Reserves Australia provides editorial, travel and nature information, how external and affiliate services are used, and the responsibilities that remain with visitors when using the site.

rainforestreserves.org.au Last updated: July 2026

Rainforest Reserves Australia is an independent editorial and informational website covering Australian rainforest destinations, walking tracks, national parks, wildlife, conservation and practical travel planning.

By accessing and using this website, you acknowledge that the information is provided for general informational purposes and that conditions described on the site may change after publication.

Rainforest Reserves Australia is not a government agency, park authority, emergency service, tourism authority, tour operator or official representative of any destination described on the site.

The essentials

Three principles behind the site

The editorial content can help with research and planning, but real-world decisions should account for current conditions and the information provided by relevant official sources.

01

Information changes

Tracks, roads, weather, facilities, prices, access and visitor conditions can change after a page is published.

02

Decisions remain yours

Visitors are responsible for evaluating current conditions, personal ability, transport, safety and suitability before acting on information.

03

External services are independent

Tour operators, booking services, accommodation providers and external websites operate under their own terms.

01 · Website use

Use of Rainforest Reserves Australia

Rainforest Reserves Australia provides editorial and informational content relating to Australian rainforest landscapes, destinations, protected areas, walking tracks, wildlife, conservation and travel planning.

You may browse and use the website for lawful personal, informational and research purposes.

Use of the website does not create a professional, advisory, agency or client relationship between you and Rainforest Reserves Australia.

02 · Editorial information

General information and accuracy

Reasonable efforts may be made to publish information that is useful and accurate at the time of writing.

However, natural environments and travel destinations change. Information can become outdated because of weather, track works, park management decisions, road conditions, closures, new regulations, business changes or other circumstances beyond the control of the website.

Publication on Rainforest Reserves Australia should not be interpreted as a guarantee that a location, track, facility, business or service remains available under the same conditions.

03 · Travel

Travel and trip-planning information

Content relating to itineraries, destinations, transport, seasons, accommodation, walking routes and other travel matters is provided for general planning purposes.

Travel conditions may change rapidly. Road access, ferry services, tours, accommodation, park entry, public transport, operating hours and other services may differ from information previously published.

Before travelling, visitors should independently confirm information that is important to the trip with the relevant provider, operator, government agency or land manager.

04 · Safety

Walking, weather and natural hazards

Rainforest and wilderness environments may involve risks, including changing weather, heat, humidity, slippery surfaces, steep terrain, falling branches, waterways, flooding, remote travel, limited mobile reception and other natural hazards.

Descriptions of walks or conditions on this site do not guarantee that a route is suitable for a particular visitor.

Walking ability, experience, health, equipment, weather and current track conditions can all affect the suitability of a route.

Visitors should review current official alerts and warnings before entering parks, reserves or remote areas and should not rely on an older webpage as a substitute for current safety information.

05 · Wildlife

Wildlife information

Wildlife observations described on the website are not promises that a particular species will be seen at a particular place or time.

Animal behaviour, distribution and visibility vary with habitat, weather, season, food availability and many other factors.

Visitors should observe wildlife responsibly, follow local rules and warnings, avoid feeding or handling wild animals and maintain appropriate distance.

06 · Official sources

Rainforest Reserves Australia is not a park authority

Rainforest Reserves Australia is an independent website. It is not an Australian government agency, national park service, emergency service, land manager, tourism authority or official reserve operator.

Questions about current closures, permits, emergencies, fires, floods, track conditions, official maps, park regulations or access restrictions should be checked directly with the relevant official authority.

07 · External websites

External links

Rainforest Reserves Australia may link to external websites, including official authorities, tourism businesses, tour operators, accommodation providers, research organisations, booking platforms and other resources.

Links are provided for convenience, reference or additional information.

Rainforest Reserves Australia does not control independent external websites and does not guarantee their availability, accuracy, security, pricing, products, services or policies.

08 · Commercial services

Tours, bookings and third-party services

Some pages may display or link to tours, experiences, accommodation or other commercial services offered by independent third parties.

Rainforest Reserves Australia is not normally the provider of the third-party tour, accommodation, activity or booking service displayed through such links.

Any booking or purchase is made with the relevant third party and is subject to that provider's own terms, cancellation rules, pricing, availability, insurance arrangements and customer-service policies.

Visitors should review the applicable information on the provider's website before completing a transaction.

09 · Affiliate disclosure

Some links may earn a commission

Rainforest Reserves Australia may participate in affiliate or referral programs.

Some links, widgets or references to third-party services may therefore be affiliate links. If a visitor follows an eligible link and later completes a qualifying booking or purchase, Rainforest Reserves Australia may receive a commission.

The presence of an affiliate relationship does not mean that every linked service is recommended for every visitor or destination.

Visitors remain responsible for assessing the suitability, terms and value of any third-party product or service.

10 · Content rights

Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, original written content, site structure, branding and original design elements published by Rainforest Reserves Australia are intended for use as part of this website.

Content may not be systematically copied, republished, scraped, reproduced, redistributed or used to create a substantially equivalent publication without permission where permission is required.

Limited quotations or references may be used where legally permitted and appropriately attributed.

Photographs, logos, maps and third-party materials may remain the property of their respective owners and may be subject to separate licences or terms.

11 · Acceptable use

Prohibited use

You should not use the website in a way that intentionally damages, disrupts, overloads or interferes with the operation or security of the site.

Prohibited activity may include attempts to gain unauthorised access, distribute malicious code, impersonate the website, misuse published contact details or systematically extract site content in a manner that interferes with normal operation.

12 · Liability

Limitation of responsibility

Rainforest Reserves Australia provides the website and its editorial information for general informational purposes.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, no representation or guarantee is made that every page will always be complete, current, uninterrupted or free from error.

Affiliate Disclosure
