thank you ceremony -
a time to thank those who have helped the community protect the cassowary
While the Cassowary festival was a community celebration of the exceptional natural environment of Mission Beach, the community wanted to thank some of those who have made a significant contribution to cassowary conservation within their professional capacity. Dr Graham Lauridsen gave an informative talk on cassowary management and told stories from his personal experience as the foremost cassowary veterinary professional.
Peter Garrett, the Threatened Species Commissioner, Bob Irwin and Qld Trust for Nature were not able to join us for the day. They sent us the following messages of support. |

Mission Beach will always hold a very special place in my heart because you are a unique community who not only work together for the conservation of a species but also the protection of critical habitat. Mission Beach, in my eyes, is a wonderful ambassador for the cassowary and I only hope that other communities right across Australia can take a leaf out of your book and follow along your many wonderful achievements for our wildlife. |
