The Cassowary has returned and brought his chick with him - very grey and about 30cm high. They came wandering down the dry creek bed this morning while Digby was working at the B&B cottage.
He watched the two birds go past and then heard 'splash' as the large bird waded into the 'goose pool' - a small waterhole on the creek about 20 metres down from the B&B. The large cassowary kept wading in to the deepest part of of the pool which is about a metre deep, and then slowly sank and submerged himself up to his neck in the water. After a few minutes he stood up, shook himself and stepped out onto the bank to preeen for about 5 minutes. The chick followed.
Just magic! That's why we live here!
