I saw a cassowary!

We moved back to Wongaling Beach yesterday - have a much better and roomier van site and once again we are across the road from the beach and general civilisation so we are very happy.  Some of my new purchases have arrived so Mal is busy sorting them out....

I finally spotted a cassowary on the way to work yesterday avo...was driving along Mission Beach Road and low and behold it was just on the side of the road.  There are a heap of signs out saying to be careful as they cross the road but I never actually thought I would see one...when we were up in Port Douglas a few years ago we went on this nature walk and the guy kept going on and on about the cassowary...we thought it was all a bit of a joke...but there you go.  Here's a pic of exactly what it looked like. 

Work was again very busy last night but at least I wasn't working the night before when they had an electrical fire in the roof at 2330 and had to evacuate all the patients!!  Now we have a huge piece of ceiling panel off in the area the fire was so that was freaking me out all shift as I kept imagining a huge python slivering down it....me and one of the other girls who is english reckoned we would be climbing over each other to get out of the hospital if that happened...I reckoned that I would beat her!!!

Its a bit of a rainy day today..but works well for me as I start a run of night shifts tonight...my body is going to be in shock as I haven't done one for 12 months - good news is its pay day this week..the first in 4 months - hmm what else can I find to buy on the internet???
