Eco Barge Clean Seas Inc. is excited to announce a one-night-only event with adventurer and filmmaker Outback Mike at Eco Barge HQ in Airlie Beach on Sunday 13th July at 6:00pm.
Outback Mike (Michael Atkinson) will present his 85-minute adventure documentary, Outback Mike: The Great Reef Voyage, which follows his extraordinary 1,500km solo journey up the Great Barrier Reef in a homemade dugout canoe. Inspired by the historic survival story of a shipwrecked sailor from 1846, Mike retraced the perilous path to experience — and survive — the wild, remote coastline.
After the screening, Mike will give a 25-minute behind-the-scenes talk and Q&A, offering insights into the challenges, wildlife encounters and moments that didn’t make it into the film. His dugout canoe — the very one used in the expedition — will also be on display on the night.
As a proud boating town, this gripping tale of endurance, navigation and connection to sea country is sure to resonate with many local sailing enthusiasts and adventurers alike.
Tickets are limited — book now at www.outbackmike.com
