Cindy’s aussie animal friends

This was the post I was waiting to launch because the birds and wildlife are unlike what we have in Chicago!  Of course my binoculars came with on our trip and were handy all the time!

The cassowary is endangered. It can reach heights up to 5 feet tall! . Mission Beach has 40 around the area.
 

 

Imagine our surprise and disbelief when we actually saw one!
 
  
  

   

we stayed over night at an Alpaca farm while traveling the east coast . Art found this friend in the communal bathroom!
 

   

This baby was born in December. 3 months old!
 

   

Timing is everything, right? Art captured this shot perfectly!
  
Mama and baby time:)
