My wife and I did this last year and it was an incredible experience. A year ago today we were driving up to Cape Tribulation in Australia. Along the way, on a small hike on a boardwalk through the woods, we were startled by a cassowary crossing our path less than 20 feet from us!

We did manage to pull out our phones and grab a video. A year later, I’m so glad we did — even more fun than seeing the cassowary step across the trail is hearing our voices excitedly whisper to each other about how big and close it was.

I’m jealous of your trip. Not a day goes by that I don’t reminisce fondly on ours. And I’m sure you’ll strike the right balance between being a photographer and being in the moment :)
