You clip in beneath a green cathedral—towering eucalypts and strangler figs sway as the breeze from Currumbin Beach nudges the canopy. The air smells of salt and wet earth; ropes creak, zips whistle, and, below, a crocodile enclosure waits like a slow, watchful river. This is TreeTop Challenge Currumbin: an adrenalized ribbon of platforms, bridges and 14 ziplines threaded through rainforest less than 200m from the shoreline.
