Western Australia TV

It’s often hard for locals to get enthusiastic about Western Australian tourism. We love living here but if you ask us to tell someone why they should visit we don’t find it particularly easy. I’m not sure why that is but I know I felt a little bit of that feeling when talking with our friends in the US recently. I think a couple of the big challenges to WA tourism stem from our geography – firstly our isolation means you really have to have a good reason to go the extra mile (or 2000 miles) to travel here when visiting the Eastern states, and secondly the vast distances involved within WA mean many of the potential tourist draws may be thousands of kilometres apart.

The above site (which I found on Rodney’s blog) goes a long way towards addressing this ineptitude on our part. It’s ostensibly a tourism advertising site, but features heaps of cool videos which demonstrate what a great place WA is. If you’re a local, check it out and remind yourself of how lucky we are to live in a place like this… and if you’re not a local, check it out and you’ll want to become one :)
