Cassowaries do live in rainforests, and this is the predominant habitat.

The Southern cassowary lives in the rainforests of coastal northern Queensland, Australia, as well as in tropical rainforests of Papua New Guinea, and the Aru and Seram Islands. It is found in Cape York, in the vine forests of Lockerbie and McHenry Uplands, the vine forests of the McIlwraith and Iron Ranges, and in the Wet Tropics, from Big Tableland, south of Cooktown to Paluma, north of Townsville.

The Northern cassowary, or Golden-neck Cassowary, is found in the tropical rainforests of Papua New Guinea and Irian Jaya on the island of New Guinea.

Cassowaries' preferred habitat is rainforest and other dense bushland where they can easily hide, from low-lying swampland forests to high, mountainous forests.

No, you would not see many cassowaries if you lived in South Australia. Cassowaries are primarily found in the tropical rainforests of northeastern Queensland and parts of New Guinea. Their habitat is quite specific, and they are not native to South Australia, which has a different climate and ecosystem. If you want to see cassowaries, you would need to travel to their natural habitats in the northern regions of Australia.
