Webjet has announced the eight winners of its ‘Show Us Your Australia’ social media campaign, and revealed the top locations in Australia chared across almost 2,000 Instagram and Facebook entries.
“It has been a delight to see the number of submissions for ‘Show Us Your Australia’,” said Webjet OTA cCEO, David Galt. “We set out to provide a platform for Australians to celebrate their local areas and are thrilled it has inspired so many to share their favourite havens. Scrolling through the photos uploaded to the Instagram hashtag and the comments posted on Facebook has certainly seen me discover multiple locations that have already been added to my own ‘to visit’ list. We know that, with a country the size of Australia, there is no shortage of new and exciting places to visit and ‘Show Us Your Australia’ is a testament to that!”
The eight winning entries were selected from entries that covered the length and breadth of Australia. Each winner receives a $1,000 Webjet eGift Card, which is valid for three years.
The winning entries are:
● Ormiston Gorge in Northern Territory, in a shot captured by @kylesofsmiles that shows off its magnificent red walls and swimming spot potential
● Magic Rock along Victoria’s Great Ocean Road, called out by @bryanvu936 for its relatively unknown location near Warrnambool
● Lincoln’s Rock in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, with its wow-worthy views as admired by @kris.charlz
● Bridestowe Lavender Estate in Tasmania, shot by @limvoeung for its rows of purple blooms that wouldn’t look out of place in Provence
● The Flinders Ranges in South Australia, from David Emms, who touts the region for its ancient fossils, wide salt lakes, and the Cornish pasties from the local bakery
● The Stirling Ranges in West Australia, as suggested by Jessie Anna Newton for the beautiful sunrise best experienced from the summit of Bluff Knoll
● Bluff Falls in Victoria, which was put forward by Mary Melis as a lovely location to walk and enjoy the wonders of nature
● Strahan in Tasmania, a quaint fishing and port town along the Apple Isle’s west coast that Elspeth Lovell recommends as ripe for discovery
“I want to thank everyone who got into the spirit of the campaign, who shared their favourite locations and, of course, congratulate our eight lucky winners. I hope that they love using their prize to explore more of Australia, and that Aussies continue to post to the #ShowUsYourAus hashtag to share their travels and inspire others to visit untapped regional areas,” said Galt.
