Cardwell is a tropical coastal town located at the southern extremity of the Cassowary Coast in northeastern Queensland.
Cardwell suffered significant damage from Cyclone Yasi, a category 5 cyclone, in February 2011. Much of the damage has been repaired, and at the time of my visit in September 2012 major breakwater works were under way to reduce the effect of any future severe weather event. These works were so extensive I needed to visit the Waymarks WM78DX BI-Centennial Time Capsule - Cardwell, Queensland by searchwise015 and WM78E2 Bi-Centennial Orientation Table - Cardwell, Queensland. by searchwise015 at a distance.
