We live at Forrest Beach and on our way to Cardwell yesterday (14th. July)
we saw a cassowary crossing the road on the northern side of the Cardwell
Range. It was about 9.30 am and it was crossing from the sea side to the
mountain side, about half way down the range. Don't know if it was a male
or female as I have no idea how to tell the difference. It was by itself and
just ambled across the road. Having lived here for 25 years this is the first
time we have ever seen a cassowary in the wild - wonderful. Just wish it had
stopped long enough to get a really good look but probably just as well it
moved off into the bush and safety. Near Mt. Goodman Rd-Cardwell

On the morning of 2 March 2013 a woman had just returned from a walking
a dog, and had let it off the lead. It ran across the road into the scrub and all
she heard was three yelps. She ran across the road and saw an
adult cassowary standing in the bushes.The dog was lying on the ground
and was already dead by this time. She called her husband and they
retrieved the dog and the cassowary moved further into the scrub and out of
sight.74 Bay road,Coconuts, Innisfail
Adult bird ran across Bingil Bay road near the bus

A juvenile bird was apparently struck by a vehicle on South Mission Beach
Road, Frogs Hollow, South Mission Beach. The road is sealed, with a speed
limit of 80 km/hr and borders rainforest, but has a mowed edge of 10
metres. The bird was taken to the vet but later died at the vet surgery from
severe internal injuries. It was otherwise in good condition and had native
fruits in its gut. One of chicks above on 16 June.

Young adult (Sneaker) showed up on Wheatley road close to tip.
Came up out of Happy Days farm paddock, crawled under the
barbwire fence and strolled across road much to the delight of a
family from W.A. who had never seen one!

Cyril-ina. She is only four years old, large, very quiet. It is interesting to
observe the different temperaments and characteristics of the individual
birds. She seems to be very sensitive to what is happening on the ground,
always peering and pecking around her feet. I heard the most amazingly
low rumbling from down in the reserves and went to check it out. Cyril-ina
was just hanging out in the shadows next to the creek. Info via Mission

Death of a juvenile male cassowary which was discovered injured at
Mourilyan Harbour on 10/12/2013. The bird was found with a badly injected
foot from an injury received at a previous time, perhaps as much as several
weeks earlier. It also had minor injuries to the top of the head. The bird was
caught and taken to the Innisfail veterinary surgery. The bird was euthanized
as the injury and level of infection was deemed to be too serious to
successfully rehabilitate the bird.

Spotted an adult crossing TMB road at the Sugar Cane Creek road intersection at 3:25pm
this avo. Bird was very similar to Ms 'C' at Frogs Hollow only slightly smaller in stature. Very
long wattles and tall casque with what looked like a nick in it in the middle. We had stopped
at the creek to let her cross. Large truck slowed a bit and made some noise as it went by
which frightened bird enough to 'fluff' up her tail feathers. Very healthy and I have never seen
it before and she got away into bush before the camera could catch an image . Nice to see a
healthy bird there.

The bike path cassowary (elderly methinks). Bird was wandering
down path from SMB to Wongaling Beach. Actually stepped off
of path to let two of us bikers pass it by! It then came back to
path and continued to amble towards small creek crossing the
path before the tip. Pretty cool.
Large adult, probably female, with fairly long wattles remenisent of
Ms C and a pretty tall casque too. On road at Uniting church on
TMB road. Crossed road and walked up track to house on Lot
2243 or something similar. Directly opposite the church. Nosed
around the wheelie bins for a bit before heading west up dirt track.

This Big Mama is huge, as big as Ms C if not larger. She was just
standing on verge at the top of TMB road about half a k from
Sellars farm on the north side. Looked like she was just checking
out her turf! Has split wattles, very tall casque and must weigh in at
about 50+kilos I reckon.

birds interacting on the Mission Beach Cassowaries FB page.

Ms C on the beach! Hooray I finally got a cassowary 'on the beach'
photo! Even if it was only with my mobile. Bird was fossiking
around in front of the SMB surf lifesaving address when it went into
bush fronting the beach. I moved off beach into what I thought
might be her track and sure enough she popped into view and
treated me! Only for about 2 minutes though.

15 month or so old chick beginning to fill out and show colours at
Frogs Hollow. A bird sighted often at the oval or on SMB roadside
verge. I am going to call this one FH…not Fire Hydrant, but
FrogHollow just so it has a handle. It is a beautiful youg cassowary
and I do hope it doesn't get in the way of any vehicle. Not the best
area for
to establish
terrirtory.
This
maytrying
be same
bird Donella
Owen put up on FB on the 22nd of
April. Bird has just crossed Reid road coming up from beach side
and heading into Wheatley creek next to 23 Reid road. Didn't stop
for anything, just walked across street and went straight into forest
surrounding creek

On Friday 6 June 2014 an adult female was found injured and alive on Black Mt. Rd

of the public caught the bird and took it to the Kuranda vet, but the bird died in trasit.
Autopsy taken which indicated bird may have been struck by vehicle prior to the

Adult very close to the TMB/SMB intersection on the southern
side of SMB on the mowed grassy slope. Wanted to cross over
to the northern side of road. I left before it did or didn't? May
have had a chick in the scrub, but couldn't see it.

While being filmed by Leighton/Clare for 'trailer'
for hopefully upcoming series a young bird
appeared right on cue to be included in the filming!
It looks like the Frog Hollow youngster.
Adult and stripey half way between tip and other
end of bike path. Feeding on eastern side of path
almost hidden from view. Chick was having a good
time wrestling with the undergrowth!
Young adult male with probably its first batch of
stripeys at Wheatley creek bridge then moved
towards tip before crossing road from north to
south into 25 acres that are up for sale behind tip.

One very large adult, probably female, stuffing herself with
mangoes just across from the Wongaling Beach library on the

in just three or four short minutes!

Ms Cass…almost daily visits lately. Cyrilina keeping to the north of Bingil
Bay road (Photo). Grounds keeper Chris was given a hard time by
Cyrilina…charged at him and pulled up 2mtrs away then made herself tall
and started dipping her head at him. He stopped cutting and tried to
remain inconspicuous until her attention was turned to fruit. He then left.

Standoff at intersection of SMB/Mission Drive between two adult males. Slowed
traffic for more than 20 minutes as the two eyed each other off. Solitary bird on
Mission Drive side eventually went back into forest while other bird crossed over
SMB to be greeted by its chick and they then disappeared up into forest on north
side of SMB. Plenty of traffic and happy visitors who had never before seen a
cassowary.

Large female & male in love. Saw female leap away from road onto verge, but don’t
know reason why (vehicle?). The stood until I stopped and she crossed road to
resume following a male on the other side. They wandered for a good 10-15 minutes
on verge and on road (often) followed by vehicles until they crossed to south of EMB
road at crest of hill leading down to Lacey Creek (coming from El Arish heading
east). Birds then went into rainforest next to gate leading onto property. Female had
bald patch on her left backside thay may have been caused by a vehicle strike???
