Mission Beach is one of Australia's most beautiful beaches. The name comes from an Aboriginal mission founded in 1914, but swept away by a cyclone in 1918. The pristine white beach slopes gently into the turquoise waters of the Pacific. In places, the rainforest slopes down to the sand. The Bingil Bay Road is the best way to get there. This dreamlike landscape forms a natural reservoir where the cassowary, a kind of gigantic turkey with a luminous blue neck measuring 1.80 m, is frequently seen, topped with a bony helmet that enables it to make its way through the rainforest. Etty Bay, 40 minutes to the north, is home to many of these cassowaries.
