The Southern Cassowary is an endangered species. With the Art Trail we would like to create a better awareness of protecting the bird and support conservation projects. Local artists paint real size cassowary statues which are set up in the public as a trail first set up 2022 in Kuranda and ongoing expanding in Tropical North Queensland Australia. This project is in collaboration with Kuranda Conservation Community Nursery Inc
Cassowary Introduction Video
We received a RADF grant which is a partnership between Queensland Government and regional councils this allowed us to start to paint the first 3 cassowary statues by Connie, George and Rebecca, all local artist. During next step Melanie and Hayley will paint the next 2 cassowary statues, how exciting.
