On our way from Townsville, we stopped off to visit friends who live in Halifax near Ingham. They're building a nice house which has a view of Hinchinbrook Island. We then went on to have lunch at Mission Beach. We were lucky enough to see a cassowary come out of the forest. I was surprised to see how big they are, and how beautiful.
Cairns has a nice waterfront area and CBD, with a very good bikepath network. We have been enjoying seeing all the birds. I found a Bush Stone Curlew wandering about outside our cabin one evening. I'm told that they are very shy birds whom are not often seen. I took a picture of it which turned out to be too dark, so I'm borrowing a picture from Google.
