The Latest Campaign from Tourism Australia






Tourism Australia








From 15 April to 12 May 2010 Australians will have the chance to upload why they think There’s Nothing Like Australia with a photo onto www.nothinglikeaustralia.com with entries being used to create a new interactive map of Australia.
