Day 23 Monday 16th July. Townsville – South Mission Beach (Known by locals as the home of the Cassowary)


Packed up camp in Townsville while the girls hired a go cart in the caravan park with their new friends. We arrived at Mission Beach in time for lunch. http://beachcomber-coconut-caravan-village.qld.big4.com.au/
 Much excitement then when we saw a Cassowary right here in the caravan Park!!! Amazing birds, although we were a little cautious we later learnt this bird is a frequent visitor to the park!   After set up the girls went for a swim then we did a tour around Mission Beach and South Mission Beach which included the “Big Cassowary”  Lovely town “ Where the Rainforest meets the Reef” First night  in a while  since we have been able to sit outside after dinner.
