Port Douglas Carnivale 2009

The Longest Lunch

Food laid out at the Longest Lunch

Separate to the work I did for the Port Douglas Chamber of Commerce during Port Douglas Carnivale, Events NQ employed me as the photographer for their Longest Lunch event at the Sheraton Mirage Country Club during Carnivale 2009. I can not speak more highly of Donna Anderson and the team at Events NQ – they are professional, superbly well organised,  flexible and a pleasure to work with.

Carnivale 2009 may be over, but you can relive the memories over at the Port Douglas Carnivale 2009 Photo Gallery.

You can find galleries for the following events:

Carnivale 2009 was a huge success, and I was delighted to have been a part of the organising team (I was the Beach Day Coordinator and one of the general Carnivale coordinators), as well as to have had the opportunity to photograph so many fantastic events. Such a great way to meet a huge number of great people in a very short space of time. Woohooo, can’t wait till next years Carnivale!
