EcoFiesta
Every year Cairns Regional Council puts on a day of live music, interactive workshops, free kids activities and a massive expo of green-tech and sustainable living solutions. As a key partner of the festival CAFNEC holds a stall to educate and engage our community in the work we do.
PAST EVENTS
ANNUAL major fundraiser
Far North Wilderness Bike Tour
The Far North Wilderness Bike Tour is CAFNEC’s major fundraiser that has been running since 2001! The Bike Tour is an unforgettable 6-days of mountain biking through the spectacular Wet Tropics World Heritage Area in Far North Queensland. Definitely a trip of a lifetime through some of the region’s best scenery on wilderness mountain trails.
monthly sewing bees
Boomerang Bags Cairns
COVID-19 UPDATE: Boomerang Bags Cairns is now sewing from home. See event page for more details.
Boomerang Bags Cairns meets on the first Thursday of every month from 4.30 to 8.00 pm to sew Boomerang Bags as a group. We sew, we chat, we drink tea and usually, there is cake too! Got a sewing machine? – Definitely bring it along! Don’t have one or can’t sew? There are plenty of other jobs and with the expertise present, you can learn to sew too.
