Amazing stories from Tully

Dear The Reader

Well, technically we were in Mission Beach today.

Lyn Prince and I were on our way to see a client. We came over a crest and saw two cassowaries walking on the opposite side of the road. They may as well have been hand in hand. We later found out it was a father and baby. So we naïvely stopped the car and got out. We took many pics (which Lyn has and I can't get them from her yet) of the father checking us out. He was so close that we could have put our hand out and touched him.

After they moved on a local pulled up and said she was surprised he didn't attack. This huge bird (learn more here) was a protective father and wanted to make sure we weren't threats.

There have been so many stories here. An interesting difference between Tully and Mission Beach is that, even though they were both flattened by Yasi, the people of Tully seem really depressed but the people of Mission Beach have a hope in them. They still aren't great but at least the ones who aren't coping are admitting it and asking for counselling help.

This has really helped me to realise that God gives hope and joy to those who ask. Let's start asking for that for the people of Tully.

Educate. Entertain. Inspire.
