‘Eyeball to Eyeball’
A walk on the wild side, alone in this primal setting on a barely visible path and meeting an immature Cassowary face to face. I cannot say that at the time I was filled with glee as I nearly had a heart attack with fright, but once it lost interest in me and went about its own business, I could not believe I had been so close to a bird that faces extinction. The Daintree is a special place with special people. The Daintree Centre staff were knowledgable and helpful. The library there solved by botanical questions as I came upon so many flowers that I had not seen before. The Epiphyte B & B is THE place to stay. A true Quenslander House open to the elements with bats and geckos visiting at night and a very warm welcome. Take a bird book with you so that you can identify part of the vista in front of you.
