Nestled in far north Queensland Wet Tropics rainforest that stretches from the surrounding mountains to the ocean, is the small settlement of Mission Beach. The World Heritage Area is brimming with natural beauty and incredible vistas, looking out to the the Great Barrier Reef and the tropical paradise of Dunk Island in the distance. Conservationist and artist Liz Gallie tells us on his episode of Streets of Your Town podcast how she has made this town her home for decades, and sees it as part of her responsibility of living here to fight to protect the environment and endangered animals such as the Cassowary, from encroaching development. I stumbled upon Liz at her stall at the Mission Beach markets, where she sells beautiful silver jewellery she has crafted herself in her paradise home, with inspiration from the surrounding rainforest.
