CASSOWARY WATCH

-The History

By Pete & Nikki

Our Australian friend and conservationist Jane Franklin sent us these amazing pictures of Cassowaries at a watering hole in a nature reserve, taken by her pal Liz Gallie, who gave us permission to use these...

We were delighted, a couple of years ago, when we got a phone call from Jane out of the blue, after buying copies of 'This Garden Earth' and 'Vandals In The Garden' from David's Book Shop in Letchworth whilst visiting The UK.

Cassowaries are extremely rare birds and have been around for 100 million years, since the subcontinent of Gondswanaland broke away from the Earth's original sole continent, Pangea...

Cassowaries are the world's third largest bird, after the Ostrich and Emu.

Jane, Liz and other Australians keep an eye out for them and are helping in their conservation.

These wonderful pictures were taken at the drain between Royal Palms Estate and the Revegetation patch at Wongaling Creek, Queensland.

Liz tells us: 'Check out Mission Beach Cassowaries facebook for other interesting cassowaries stories.'
