Thumbs up Tourism Australia Feature :) :)

Some shameless self-promotion here, sorry about that, but I'm very excited about it so I had to share.

A PR lady from Tourism Australia contacted me the other day, mentioning that she stumbled across my FB page and loved my photos and would like to feature them in an album on their Tourism Australia Facebook page, which has over 3.6 million Likes.

Of course I said YES PLEASE!

We stuck to the Kimberley theme, and I sent her some images with blurbs, and she published them today on the Australia FB page.

You can see the album on Facebook here:

12 Spectacular Shots from a Kimberley Adventure

It has over 18,000 likes and counting!

Thanks for sharing in my proud moment.

In my opinion this is a big part of what IIS is all about, sharing exciting things, happenings and achievements with friends, with little fear of the tall poppy syndrome

All fabulous professional looking shots Mike and the Astro bent in a few of them is a nice original look for tourism type photo's.

Congratulations on yet another accolade.

Mike

Excellent news and well deserved, Mike. No surprise, really, though. Those images of yours will no doubt draw a massive interest in the Kimberleys.
