Fred -our resident Cassowary came by for a visit today! He visits once or twice a week but its always something special when he arrives. Theres not many in the wild these days... some put the population numbers as low as 1,000! Our big boy has been visiting for the last couple of years. He makes his way around the cabins, the pool, up the driveway, parking lot and eventually disapears.
Sometimes our guests are very lucky and he decides to hang around for a while, posing for pictures... He is quite active at this time of the year 1) because it is mating season and 2)because the amount of fruit and seeds falling from the surrounding vegetation is high in number and for him must be an incredible feed!
It truly is something special when our guests who visit from all over the world get a chance to see a Cassowary! just one of the many special jewels of the Daintree/ Cape Tribulation area... :)
