Cassowary Coast

The Cassowary Coast, where rainforest meets the reef, is one of Queensland’s most spectacular regions. Named for the elusive and enchanting cassowary bird, this area offers an impressive variety of natural and cultural attractions. Its pristine beaches, including Mission Beach and Etty Bay, are gateways to the Great Barrier Reef, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Venture inland to discover the stunning rainforests of the Tully Gorge National Park and Djiru National Park, home to ancient Indigenous sites. The region’s rich multicultural heritage is reflected in its diverse culinary scene, particularly the plethora of tropical fruits.

Don’t miss the annual Feast of the Senses festival, a celebration of the region’s abundant local produce and vibrant arts scene. Whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation, or a foodie experience, the Cassowary Coast won’t disappoint.
