This ad cost 4 million taxpayer dollars. And in my opinion, it’s a great ad. Now, over a year later, Tourism Australia still hasn’t seen fit to upload it to YouTube. In HD.
For free.
You’ll have to contend with this bootleg:
Update 21/11/2011: Not anymore. I emailed Tourism Australia and they uploaded a HD version. Full credit to them for recognising a problem and fixing it. Watch it in HD.
Framerate could be higher, but you know, babysteps.
Update 8/2/2012
In Tourism Australia’s defence, they did have this online from the start. Trouble was, I never found it, because I searched for “There’s nothing like Australia”, like most people did. It leads you to a low resolution clip of the ad that has 118,409 views. I challenge you to find the official youtube clip, they never included in their tags, “There’s Nothing Like Australia”. The official version has 18,748 views. The official HD version has 6,011 views.
I’m going to be cheeky and ask them to update the tags.. stay tuned.
Update 9/2/2012
Thank you for your feedback. I have included the tags in the video
Well done Tourism Australia!
