Come and see the Cassowary.
Cape Tribulation is full of delightful surprises. Every day brings new jaw dropping experiences. One sensational example was the other day when out from the thick forest edging our camp at Cape Trib Camping wandered a beautiful Daddy Cassowary and his chick! They came right up to our awning and stood within a couple of meters of our door! To say I was excited was an understatement. These glorious creatures are so beautiful, the little chick was just foraging casually and dad was not in the least bit frightened of us madly taking videos and pictures in pure amazement of the experience.
To top it off there they were again up the driveway of the campgroud when we went out later for a drive! We sat in our car for at least 20 minutes with them foraging and talking to each other right on the edge of the road, again not the least bit concerned with us being there.
I ask you, does this place get any better?
