Hi there Trudy, thanks for your reply.
Yes we are sooo lucky to be in such a large country with such a diverse array of flora and fauna- though really everyone around the world is just as blessed to have such magnificent animals roaming around their countries!
Such a shame that so many people not only take them for granted, but exploit them so!
You have taken a great shot of an animal- a bird that is rarely given such appreciation and put it in the limelight for every one to enjoy the beauty and uniqueness of and learn from so good on you!

Here is a still of a male Cassowary and bub taken from some video footage I was so incredibly lucky to have shot in the Daintree last time I was up there visiting my old home....
I need to find a name for them. What do you think?
