Whilst travelling to Cairns, Australia’s Great Barrier Reef is a must do site seeing experience. But there is so much more to Cairns than the reef.

Join your fellow delegates for a night in the enchanted rainforests of Kuranda. Fun activities will include an amphibious Army Duck Tour of the rainforest

and the cultural experience of the Pamagirri Aboriginal Dancers. There will also be Australian wildlife including kangaroos, crocodiles and koalas,

a bush band and a wide variety of food and drink. This will be a relaxed and fun filled evening not to be missed.
