100 Things To Do You’ve Never Heard Of #034 Find Food for the Soul at Flames of the Forest

Flames of the Forest, traditional Aboriginal meal

The smells and sounds of the rainforest at night, thousands of twinkling candles, friendly company, a fabulous three-course meal, Hors d’oeuvres and champagne on arrival and a private Aboriginal storytelling . . . what could be more magical?

The atmosphere alone of dining under a protective covering, with a Port Douglas rainforest canopy above that and only stars beyond, is amazing enough. But this is the perfect mix of theatre, spectacular nature and nocturnal animal life, storytelling and socialising, with a rippling mountain creek close by.

It truly is food for your soul, satisfaction for all senses and a unique hideout from the rest of the world. Flames of the Forest will be an unforgettable memory at an extraordinary natural venue.
