Great Barrier Reef Legacy will be turning the famous Sugar Wharf into a marine biology wonderland for three days at Port Douglas Carnivale.
Stop in and explore the incredible visual displays, go on a 360 Virtual Reality Tour of the rainforest and reef with the new immersive and interactive headsets, help create and build the most diverse reef scene, listen to world-renowned photographers, videographers and researchers about their amazing work, enjoy the open mic session for reef inspired musos and share your stories and experiences with everyone there.
The Google Expedition Kits were funded through Douglas Shire Council’s Community Support Program.
The Great Barrier Reef Legacy team is joining forces with the Reef Beat team from Cairns to make this a truly unforgettable and immersive experience.
Bring the whole family!
