The wife of the late Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin, will front the campaign to promote travel to the country she has called home since 1992. 

Following in Steve’s footsteps, Terri will be celebrating Australia’s larrikin lifestyle with the new ‘PhilAUSophy’ campaign

Terri will be joined by Australian champion surfer Mick Fanning in the global ad campaign. 

Mick, who was already a household name in pro surfing by 2015, became an absolute legend that same year when he fought off a shark attack by punching the shark in the nose

Could he be more Aussie?!

Celebrity chefs Kylie Kwong and Curtis Stone, will also have a role in the ads.

And did we mention comedian Adam Hills will be starring in them too?  

Tourism Australia has had a huge number of successful advertising campaigns in the past, with Chris Hemsworth and Lara Bingle both starring in the ads. 

Chris starred in Dundee: The Son Of A Legend in February 2018, which was a fictional sequel to Crocodile Dundee.

The elaborate commercial was aired during the Superbowl to much fanfare, with it even prompting talk of a potential sequel film.
