It’s the perfect sell. Australia. And Travel Australia did just that by teaming up with Aussi superstar, Chris Hemsworth and Southern Boy Danny McBride to create an engaging moment that left an impact on the TV psyche during the Super Bowl LII. “Dundee: The Son of a Legend Returns Home” began as most awesome Australian adventure comedies do. With amazing shots of Chris and actor Danny McBride decked out to the nines in khaki for their Outback adventures. The trailer quickly became something more.
Aimed to attract Americans’ to Visit Australia, the trailer turns from your standard adventure buddy comedy to a beautiful commercial tapping into the finer parts of Australia including the unforgettable wineries, world class restaurants and infinite beauty of Australia.
The film’s cast is huge. And stars Danny McBride as Dundee and Australian actors Chris Hemsworth as his fellow mate with Hugh Jackman, Margot Robbie, Russell Crowe playing a Newspaper CEO, Isla Fisher, Ruby Rose, Liam Hemsworth, Jessica Mauboy and Luke Bracey.
Tourism Australia is designed to create awesome campaigns and activities to attract business events and leisurely activities. And for some reason Crocodile Dundee tugs at the American’s heartstrings and has symbolized a part of Australia American’s can relate to. Tourism Australia Managing Director John O’Sullivan was more to the point. “Crocodile Dundee put Australia on the map for Americans in the ’80s. The film helped shape their view of Australia, showing them Australia’s natural beauty and Australians’ friendly and welcoming nature. And it’s still relevant today, with our research showing that Mick ‘Crocodile’ Dundee is still a character Americans believe warmly represents the Australian way of life.”
If you are as curious as I am about Australian wine, you might have questions on what makes an Australian wine so unique? Did you know that Australia is home to 65 unique wine regions? Popular wines include Shiraz, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio.
There is an infinite amount of reasons why I want to explore Australia. But diving into the culture and life in Australian winemaking takes the list.
