Talk to Leonardo DiCaprio at Four Mile Beach

LEONARDO DiCAPRIO

EVER wanted to talk to Leonardo DiCaprio?

Well you can this Saturday in Port Douglas thanks to the team at Great Barrier Reef Legacy. You will, however, be communicating by turning your body into gigantic human letters on Four Mile Beach, filmed by a drone, which will then be sent to the Hollywood superstar direct.

??This is the elaborate plan devised to help get DiCaprio to join the GBR Legacy’s fight to preserve the reef. They are calling on the entire Douglas Shire community to join them in writing #LeoJoinLegacy in human letters on the sand.

“Leonardo DiCaprio has been very outspoken about how much he cares for our reef, has the world’s attention and resources to drive serious and positive changes for both the health of the Great Barrier Reef, and reefs worldwide,” said Dr Dean Miller, Director of Science and Media at GBR Legacy.

??“Together we make an unbeatable team! We know he cares and we want him to know we as an entire community do to.


“Our invitation to Leo is genuine, non politically motivated, and backed up with a vessel ready to take him to sea - we want his attention.”?

A social media campaign to get Leo to Port Douglas started last month after he spoke of his concerns for the Reef during a speech at the Our Oceans conference.

Participants on Saturday are urged to dress in dark shades. For more information visit the GBR Legacy Facebook page.

DETAILS?

WHERE: North end of Four Mile Beach (Surf Club entrance)?
WHEN: Arrive by 9am (GBR legacy will conduct a short welcome and orientation. Look out for their black GBR Legacy shirts)?
WHAT TO WEAR: Dress in shades of blue or any darker coloured clothing (light colours don't show up as well on the drone)
??THE MESSAGE: GBR Legacy believe the more people they get, the stronger the message will be that this community cares! ??They want you to bring your friends, family, neighbours, new acquaintances, the dog and anyone who wants to be part of standing together to ensure we're doing everything to preserve the reef.
