Linda Bloffwitch and Grant Hanan, 'Adventure Mumma' Kate Richards and family (Rob, Josh and Charlie), and the McKay family (Cameron, Julie, Darcy, Tiarna, Maddison and Hamish) kicked off their Follow the Sun adventures from a kick-off party at the Cairns Coconut Holiday Resort in Cairns, Qld.
The families will travel separately from Cairns to Melbourne over 13 weeks, stopping at caravan parks, hosting Happy Hours and visiting attractions along the way.
This year, Dometic has partnered with the National Breast Cancer Foundation and the ambassadors will host fundraising activities during their trips to help support the foundation, and to raise awareness and fund research into the prevention and cure of breast cancer.
