Enjoy day in the life of a sailor
AS part of Navy Week, HMAS Cairns is once again opening its gates to the public tomorrow from 9am-2pm.
A Defence spokesman said it was a rare opportunity for the Cairns community to explore the inner workings of the naval base and “get an up-close look at the impressive vessels that protect our nation, engage with our dedicated sailors and gain insights into their daily routines and duties”.
“Throughout the day, experience thrilling demonstrations of naval operations, including seaboat rides, ship tours, boat and engineering displays, speak with our serving members and marvel at the advanced technology that powers our fleet,” he said.
“For those seeking a more hands-on experience, witness and become involved in interactive activities such as clearance diving display, military survey, or try your skills at our fitness course.
“Don't miss the opportunity to step aboard a real navy ship and imagine yourself as part of our professional crew.”
It is a free event. Book at https://bit.ly/3SYojPu
