The Cassowary Coast
Another short drive to Etty Bay which is known for it’s Cassowaries. The Cassowaries are really fierce birds. They are very big with incredibly strong legs and talons that can disembowel a person with one slash. They look quite jurassic with their horn like growth on their head. Etty Bay is very small and has very limited area for camp sites, so we actually booked this 8 months before. We ended up next to our neighbours from Mission Beach, Paul and Liz. They had some friends joining them from Victoria who were doing the cabin, hotel, motel self drive trip all over Queensland. They arrived while we were all enjoying drinkies on the beach. So nice to meet all these people on our travels. The weather is fairly ordinary with some rain over night. Elaine did however manage to do the washing and drying. She is a keeper.
