Cassowary

Even though the Cassowary is the largest animal in the raimforest, the heaviest bird in Australia, and colourful, it is surprisingly hard to see

where can I see cassowary in the wild?

The best option for finding cassowary is to go to a garden, carpark, or accommodation where they are known to frequent and just wait.

Accommodations are good, as you can on the prioch and have a cuppa while you wait.

The best places are:

Etty bay caravan park. This is the best spot. There are often two individuals that patrol this beach. If you wait here long enough, you will see a cassowary.

Cassowary House. It's all in the name, really. Also good a for a range of other birds and Musky Rat Kangaroo.

Epiphyte Lodge. In the Daintree, north of the river. A quiet little B'n B that has a family of cassowary visit the gardens regularly.
