Little fish

Should have seen the local kids of Mission Beach doing their first SCUBA dive in the Calypso pool last weekend. It was great fun, big wide eyes and lots of smiles!

Spotting a Cassowary

We have quite a few people come in to the Mission Beach Information Station asking if cassowaries do really exist because they haven't been able to spot any . The answer to this is yes, cassowaries do actually exist. I always seem to spot them on my way to and from school, at about 8 in the morning and 4 in the afternoon. A great way to see a cassowary in it's natural environment is to go on one of the many rainforest walks Mission Beach has to offer.
