Cassowary Gallery
Some of Kuranda’s cassowaries
It is often difficult to photograph wildlife as one moment they are there and by the time you get your camera out…… But if you have photos we would be pleased to include them in the Kuranda Cassowary Gallery (with attribution of course), including old photographs. As you see some of these photos were taken quite a while ago. It would be good to have as comprehensive a gallery as possible both online and on our database. Visually, cassowaries are most easily identified by their casque (although these change as the cassowaries age) and so the more photos we have, the more we know about them and the limits of their range. Please include date, time and location and any other details you think are relevant.
