There's a neat article in the national geographic about cassowarys! Strange birds, those. Live in the northern part of Australia and parts of New Guinea. There's a picture in there of them eating a weird blue fruit called a Guandong.
Please, what is it? What does it taste like? Do you folks eat them? I really need something different - sick and tired of pinapples. Kiwi fruit are ok. Coming up next - barbecued cassuary.... (just kidding!)

Left some kudos for the last few Aussies educating the yank on our wildlife.
--Watch out for the Hoop Snake---strange critters and dangerous.
These suckers -bite their tail and start rolling like a bicycle tire .
Dont run downhill-they have been clocked at 38 mile per hour.
When they get along side-they release and go for the throat.
Areas to stay clear of are the ones frequented by Bunyips
and min min lights--just trying to help......................Richo.
