A short drive of 90 km to Innisfail for a 2 night stay. There are a number of attractions here that we want to see. We checked in to the August Moon Caravan Park approx 5 km south of Innisfail shortly before lunch. After lunch we went back into Innisfail to visit the tourist information centre and to look around the town. It is a very interesting town which was mostly destroyed by a cyclone in 1918 and rebuilt in concrete art deco buildings in the following years.
On the advice of the tourist information staff we went out to Etty Bay to see if we could spot a cassowary. We had been told that the cassowaries frequent the beach and picnic areas at Etty Bay. We were not dissapointed. We saw three cassowaries at very close quarters.
Dinner tonight was at the Brothers Leagues Club and it was a very good meal and excellent value.
