The three of us left Cassady Beach on Tuesday morning and headed to Mission Beach under a dark, grey, sky.
All along the road were signs warning drivers to be careful of the cassowaries crossing the road.
Cassowaries are large native birds that are protected and hard to find.
They are shy creatures that live in rainforest areas.
We looked and looked and drove very S-L-O-WWWWWLY........
BUT.......there were no cassowaries to be seen!
As we came towards the little township of Mission Beach,
SUDDENLY.....
A HUGE CASSOWARY STEPPED OUT OF THE BUSHES!
AND ....WHAT A COINCIDENCE....
THERE WERE TWO CASS'S WITH THE SAME COLOURS!
Skin jumped up onto a nearby rock and sulked, because his name only had ONE 'S'.
We found our caravan park and settled down for the night.
Skin dreamed he was being carried in the beak of a large bird who was running all the way home to Venus Bay.
When we look at the map of Australia we see just how far we have come!
