The tallest bird in Australia is the emu, but the heaviest bird is the Southern cassowary.
The tallest bird found naturally in Australia is the Emu. It averages 1.6 to 2 meters in height. The Emu is common over most of Australia.
The Emu would be the largest bird
The cassowary is the largest bird in northern Australia. Emus are also found in the north (and indeed, all over the continent), whilst the brolga and jabiru are quite large birds but not flightless.
The second largest bird, by weight, is the Southern Cassowary, found in Australia and New Guinea. The Southern Cassowary tends to be heavier than the emu. Emus range between 30 and 45kg in weight, whilst the Southern Cassowary averages 38 - 48kg. The largest bird, by weight, is the ostrich,

Australia's largest flying bird is the Australian pelican. With a wingspan that can exceed 3 metres, a height of up to 180cm and a weight of up to 13 kg, the Australian pelican is very clearly the largest flying bird in Australia. However, it is not unique to Australia, being found across the Pacific region known as Australasia. Beside Australia, it is found in Papua New Guinea and western Indonesia, and even in New Zealand and some western Pacific islands.Two other birds are more localised within Australia, and could be regarded as Australia's largest flying birds, though they cannot match the pelican in height, wingspan or weight.Australian bustard: it can grow up to 120cm in height, and its weight averages 450 grams. It is unique to northern Australia and the southern region of New Guinea.Jabiru, or Black-necked stork: its size is larger than the Australian bustard, growing up to a maximum of 133cm, but it is lighter, having an average weight of 410 grams. It is found only in Australia, so could conceivably be classed as Australia's largest endemic flying bird.

Yes. The Cassowary is Australia's heaviest flightless bird, although not the tallest (the emu, on average, is slightly taller). Cassowaries are found in the far northern tropical rainforest. They are not endemic to Australia. They are also found in New Guinea and on smaller nearby islands.
