The Qantas Pathfinders charity flight will take to the skies again on Saturday 7 September, headed to stunning South Pacific gem Norfolk Island for a day of fine food and wine, history and culture.
This year will mark the 22nd charity flight for Qantas Pathfinders, a group of volunteers made up of former and current Qantas staff who raise funds for NextSense. All funds raised have a direct impact on children and adults with hearing and vision loss and their families.
Norfolk Island’s crystal-clear waters, towering pines, unique culture and broody history make it the perfect destination.
The flight will take off from Sydney Airport at approximately 6.30 am, returning at around 9.00 pm the same day. Guests will be treated to a tour of the island, a performance by local dancers, and an exclusive luncheon showcasing the island’s fabulous paddock-to-plate cuisine. Superb wines will be a feature of the day, courtesy of some wonderful sponsors.
The host for the day will be long-time ABC radio presenter and Pathfinders supporter Simon Marnie, with ABC’s Disability Affairs Reporter Nas Campanella also joining us as a special guest.
Limited release tickets are $895. Book early to be part of this special event – book online or contact Darren Parmenter, Community and Events Manager, at Darren.Parmenter@nextsense.org.au or phone 0455 067 908.
