New Australian Tourism Ad - Aimed at you!

[Brazoo]

Canadians slag on everything we do too. The commercial is a bit corny but tourism commercials always play to the stereotype.

Totally. I actually don't think this new Ontario one is terrible, but I do think it's weird that it features Brazilian inspired music. It plays up the multicultural angle a lot, so I guess that's what they're going for - but every time I see this it makes me want to leave and check out Brazil.

the Australian one is corny, but it's beautifully shot - and hey - at least Paul Hogan isn't in it!

I like my Australia to be more like this...

Holy smokes! That's what it reminded me of too!

In all seriousness, I might like to go someday. My family (Brother, his wife, and my niece) have gone twice. My niece even lived there awhile to cover the Friendship Games.

I like it. Always been wanting to go to OZ to see my fav band play live at least once.
They should have used Under The Milky Way from The Church. Would have worked better.
I will be in the land of OZ someday soon.

Oz is very high on my travel list. I also keep my eye out for jobs cause I'd love to spend a few years working there.

the song kills it for me!

I have been to Australia and it is too bad it is so far from the east coast of the US.

Now if you'll excuse me I have to put on my Mountie outfit and meet bigfoot, we're going beaver hunting in a canoe.

Must be Friday then.
