Opis
Etty Bay is a popular locals beach. The soft white-sand beach is backed by a narrow, tree-shaded reserve, then steep, forested slopes rising up to 250 m behind the beach. Etty Bay is one of the best places in Queensland to see the famous Southern Cassowary. You can see this giant bird patrolling the area most days with sights more common during the early morning and late afternoon. Park up by the beach and head to the small wooded area to your right. Quietly walk through this wood or along the beach looking in to the undergrowth. If you have been unlucky at the wood to the right of the beach, then head left to the more dense woodland up from the beach. If you visit late afternoon and hang around at the beach you will also likely see them wander along the sand itself.
Of course because of the surrounding woods, beach and sea you can observe plenty of other birds. For example Torresian Imperial-Pigeon, Masked Lapwing, Forest Kingfisher, Rainbow Bee-eater, Yellow-spotted Honeyeater, Australasian Figbird and many more, see the birdlist below. But the reason to visit this spot and why Etty Bay has an A-status is definitely the Southern Cassowary.
