Cairns was officially founded in 1876, named after the state governor of the day Sir William Wellington Carnes . The city’s growth over the next 150 years brings it to the modern coastal city than it is today. Cairns is the home port for explorers of one of the seven natural wonders of the world, the Great Barrier Reef. Although our Flyers will see the Great Barrier Reef from the air at between 7 000 and 10,000 feet, I’m sure it is a sight for a lifetime! The reef is the world’s largest living coral reef that can actually be seen from space. The reef contains an abundance of marine life, and it comprises over 3000 individual reef systems and coral caves. This makes for hundreds of picturesque tropical islands and some of the world’s most beautiful sun scoped and golden beaches.

Of course, with the abundance of beauty and new memories that they’ll encounter now on their next flight legs, we are reminded of their mission to raise awareness and donations for Alzheimer’s and hopefully get a little closer to finding a cure for this terrible disease.

The donation total keeps rising, so tell your family to check into this site for updates and send along their best wishes and any comments or questions they may have…
