If you happened to be at HMAS Cairns recently you may have noticed a ship that looked rather out of place berthed at the wharf.

That’s because Australia’s distinctively different training ship, Young Endeavour and her training crew were in Cairns for engineering maintenance work and track course training before heading to Mackay for their next voyage.

Commanding Officer LCDR Brenton Witt, said HMAS Cairns and its personnel had been a great support to the ship and Young Endeavour and her crew were now on track for Mackay.

After Mackay, Young Endeavour will run more voyages to Gladstone, Brisbane and then on to Sydney.

Each voyage aims to include around 24 people (12 girls and 12 boys) and takes between five and 10 days to complete.
