Too compliment this we really need access to the air strip and flights so tourists can fly to our region. Then fly out to other destinations.

Tremendous news, at last a reputable company to take over. This will not only benefit Dunk Island but the region as well and i only hope that our local Tourism bodies throw their efforts behind it, with more activities in the area it will encourage visitors to stay a extra couple of nights. For too long our town has relied on the “Grey Nomad” influx during the winter months, and the town basically closes down on their departure in October. Dont get me wrong, these visitors are the backbone of our tourist industry and are very appreciated, but with this new developement we will have more to offer and hopefully encourage more visitors year round.
Well done Experience !!!!!

Thanks Larry & Cassie Wary for pointing out the new research. The story has been updated to state there’s around 4500 birds. Thanks again.

Yes Larry, latest studies estimate over 4000 birds. Great to have a place to treat injured cassowaries but much better to address the threats than spend $’s on hospitals. The results so far from the trial cassowary road crossing at Carmoo is promising. The Main Roads minister said if successful, similar road treatments would be introduced at other known hotspots. We certainly hope so. There will be a massive increase of traffic on the roads associated with the white water rafting world championships being held on the Tully River.

The story states “only around 1000 birds left” though research estimates 4500. Hopefully that’s an oversight not the unfortunate sensationalism we usually get.
