Cassowary Coast Area
Between Cairns and Townsville, the Cassowary Coast combines fertile banana and sugar farms with tropical rainforest and coastal villages such as Innisfail, Mission Beach and Tully. Rivers and national parks are home to the endangered southern cassowary, while offshore islands protect coral reefs. Locals cherish the clear waters and polished granite of the Babinda Boulders swimming hole and often nip down to quiet Etty Bay, where cassowaries sometimes wander along the sand at sunset.
