Extend your stay in Queensland!

One of Queensland’s most beautiful destinations to explore is the Cassowary Coast (named after the distinctive and endangered flightless bird which inhabits the region), situated between Townsville and Cairns.


Did you know?

  • Cassowaries are the largest native vertebrate in Australian rainforests.

  • Cassowaries are frugivores (fruit eaters)

  • Cassowaries are one of the closest living species to dinosaurs and one of the key visual features of this stocky bird that proves it (besides the gnarly toes), is the casque on its head.
