Watch Quinn's Wish to Fly with a Unicorn
When she wished to fly with a unicorn in the sky, we set out to make it happen — with the help of an incredible community of unicorn believers!
From discovering the magical unicorn planet at Sydney Observatory to soaring over Sydney Harbour on a Unicorn Patrol, and finally meeting Snowy the unicorn and Queen Rainbow herself, Quinn’s wish was filled with so many joyful moments.
