Cassowary at the Daintree Discovery Centre
A Male Cassowary delights visitors with a close encounter at the Daintree Discovery Centre. Professor Piggy Peter Pavlov shown in the video says the recent cassowary activity has been attributed to a decrease in available food resources, which has seen the cassowaries forage further to find food.

Daintree National Park, Australia
Daintree National Park is in Far North Queensland, Australia. Daintree is about 3 hours north of Cairns, 1-2 hours north of Port Douglas. It is much quieter than either Cairns or Port Douglas, owing to the distance, crossing the Daintree river (a ferry may take cars and buses across, for a toll), conservation efforts and being off the power grid. The Daintree region is currently in flux regarding conflicting demands of population and economy growth and preservation of the spectacular natural environment.
The quiet environment makes for a very pleasant, laidback tropical stay, somewhat distanced from the mass tourism of Cairns and Port Douglas although Cape Tribulation is a popular daytrip for visitors and amenities for tourists abound.
The park consists largely of broadleaf lowland tropical rainforests and upland tropical rainforests, although there are also significant mangrove and fan palm communities. The rainforest is an amazing array of biodiversity. Look out for the cassowary, a large non-flying bird with a helmet growth on its head to protect it as it runs through the forest. Of course, as with all of far northern Australia, saltwater crocodiles are present.
It's easiest to get around by car, but buses run from Cairns and Port Douglas all the way up to Cape Tribulation. Many companies offer packages of accommodation and transport to the area. Some of the hostels rent bicycles which is a pleasant way to get around Daintree Village and see the sights while you're there. The ride from Cow Bay to Cape Tribulation is about 25 km each way and a nice daytrip, although a bit hilly in the Noah Range area. The road is sealed all the way to Cape Tribualtion and all rental companies allow cars to travel as far as the Cape.
There are crocodiles in the Daintree River and other creeks in the region. Sometimes the riverbed will have a warning sign, but not everywhere. Stay away from the shore of the river and other creek beds.

Cape Tribulation & Daintree Rainforest - Australia Vacations & Tours
Your informative and knowledgeable driver/guide will collect you from your accommodation and travel one of Australia's great scenic Highways before arriving at the Daintree River. We then cross the Daintree River and continue on to the Mossman Gorge Centre for a refreshing morning tea. Here an expert guide will take you on a boardwalk whilst explaining some of the fascinating secrets of one of the world's oldest rainforests. After the walk, guests can learn more through theatre presentations and the interactive displays, or obtain a closer look at life in the rainforest by ascending the Rainforest Canopy Tower.
Afterwards, we continue onto Cape Tribulation Beach while your driver explains the rich history of the area. Walk the beach or boardwalk and relax in this tranquil setting. Our next stop is for lunch in a rainforest setting. Relax and enjoy the delicious food, and maybe a glass of wine. We then return to the Daintree River, with a stop enroute to enjoy the panoramic view from Alexandra Lookout.
Re-crossing the river, we join a calm water cruise of this important waterway observing the wildlife that inhabits this environment. Your guide will point out the different types of wildlife and plants that make their home along the river. Keep your eyes peeled for the elusive and fearsome estuarine saltwater crocodile! After completion of your cruise, board your coach for the return journey to Cairns. Arrive back at your accommodation after an informative and fascinating day. Video Credit: Down Under Tours

Spotted this adult Cassowary along the Dubuji walking track - Daintree Rainforest. Magnificent, and just a little frightening. Apparently sightings are become less and less frequent.

Cassowary visits my place
This bird is wild, but is familiar with people and dogs. He knows my dog is well-behaved, and he knows houses often mean easy pickings. It is not a good idea to feed cassowaries, because they become too bold and demanding, and will kick if they see someone withholding food from them. Also it makes them tend to hang around houses and roads, where they aren't always going to meet sensible people, dogs and drivers.
