What should I bring when I go to the Daintree Forest in Cairns?

I brought with me a whole box of menthol balm which I found extremely useful when I was bitten or got dizzy at noon. Another thing I strongly recommend to bring is an empty bottle. You can easily figure out why the moment you get there.
