Dometic Follow the Sun Ambassadors Julie and Cameron McKay to host celebration in Airlie Beach

The luckiest road trippers in Australia will celebrate their arrival in Airlie Beach with local residents and travel enthusiasts at Sea Breeze Caravan Park this Thursday 11 August from 6pm.

Beating thousands of hopefuls Australia-wide, Innisfail caravan park owners Julie and Cameron McKay, along with their four children, were chosen as Dometic Follow the Sun Ambassadors, embarking on a 13-week expenses paid trip down the east coast of Australia to raise funds and awareness for the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF).

As winners, the McKays’ 2008 Jayco Sterling caravan received a makeover, fitted with $25,000 worth of Dometic premium leisure products.

For the first time in the competition’s history, Dometic has partnered with NBCF to raise funds and awareness for life-changing breast cancer research. Julie says she has lots of fundraising ideas up her sleeve to help support the cause. 

“We love travelling and meeting new people, especially while making a difference through supporting crucial breast cancer research,” said Julie.

Offering free drinks and nibbles, loads of giveaways, pink merchandise and raffle prizes from Dometic and partners,  the McKays will host a ‘Roast Dinner Night’ and Toad Racing at Sea Breeze Caravan Park to meet local residents and fellow travellers, while regaling stories from their adventure so far and showing off their newly renovated vehicle.

“We’ve been looking forward to coming to Airlie Beach; everything we’ve heard about it has been great,” said Cameron. 

“Come down this Thursday from 6-9pm if you want to have a chat over free food and drinks - we’d love to see you there.”

Their trip kicked-off with a huge party in Cairns on 1 August and will wrap up at the Grand Finale event in Melbourne end of October.
