The tracking of 'Judith'

The Tracking of Judith - Photo by Vandhana
 'The tracking of Judith'   profiles a young female cassowary establishing its territory in the fragmented landscape of its essential habitat at Mission Beach. 

It was made possible by the community sharing information  which is being used to help protect the cassowary in our region. It helps identify individual cassowaries, their movement in the landscape, where they cross roads etc. 

Check out 'Judith's  story and lots of other information about the cassowaries and the identification  project. 

Thank you everyone for your contributions that make this  project possible.  More here.

Chappy's Spiritual Music Quest Fest - Mission Beach

21/9/2014

The Quizz Master
What a hoot!

We didn't know what we were in for when accepting the invitation to  Chappy's Spritual Music Quest held on Saturday in a private garden at Mission Beach. 

Chappy assumed the role of the Quiz Master while teams guessed the rock and role tunes chosen from the 70's 80's and 90's. The afternoon ran into the evening with a break for dinner which was organised with on site oven baked pizzas  Plenty of other activities such as raffles, auctions, air guitar competition, guess the number of bottle caps were carried out with lots of humour and penalties, all to raise funds for a chosen cause.

The event, held each year for the past 13 years has become so popular, guests  travel from as far away as Victoria to take part.  Many other guests  were from Alice Springs where Chappy and his partner Angela lived before moving to  Mission Beach two years ago.
