25.01.2022 Drumroll please... the Far North Wilderness Bike Tour is back for 2020 with an all new route and a 6 day length!! Find out more / Register: www.wildernessbiket...our.com The route will concentrate on the northern part of the famous Atherton Tablelands with a focus on showcasing the beautiful World Heritage rainforest of the Wet Tropics, south of the Daintree River in North Queensland. Organisers have planned an adventurous scenic cycling experience through some of the most beautiful parts of the Far North, with lush tropical rainforest, cool waterfalls and freshwater creeks. In response to rider feedback, the tour has been shortened and the riding less technical and demanding while still exciting enough to appeal to a wide range of riders. This is certainly a 6-day trip of a lifetime through some of Far North Queensland’s best scenery on wilderness mountain trails. Registrations ARE NOW OPEN and we expect them to fill quickly with the route change so hop to it

16.01.2022 We are so excited to be supporting our intern Julia with her great ideas! Since her time at CAFNEC she has developed an education program Schools for a Sustaina...ble Future. With a background in education Julia understands that schools have a lot of different topics to go through and very often environmental issues are left out or only briefly touched on. Her program wants to change this! CAN YOU HELP FUNDRAISE? To get this program up and running Julia is raising funds to support the initial collection of resources for developing and running presentations. FOR MORE INFORMATION OR TO DONATE SEE LINK
