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.
