Finding Nemo
“I am 71 years of maturity and my favourite film is Finding Nemo.
“It brings home the story of The Great Barrier Reef. Now the whole world knows of our beautiful Wonder of the World.
“It has created interest of children of all ages, worldwide.
“Now, maybe those young children knowing about Nemo and the other reef fish and other reef animals, will grow up with the knowledge that they are the future of helping to save our Great Barrier Reef.
“The Reef is on my doorstep, I love the reef and I hope more people will become aware of what is needed to preserve the Great Barrier Reef for the next generation and those generations to follow.”
