The camera-makers sent salesmen all over the world to both shoot footage and sell cameras - the exotic footage was intended to inspire people to buy the cameras, but instead got them hooked on films - and possibly travelling?<BR/><BR/>It will be interesting to see how successful Australia the movie is at inspiring people - particularly as it's dudded at the box office.

We don't really get this ...I can't wait to read it. We don't really get this magazine in Canada (I'll have to really look for it now). So, I went to L+T's site and was glad to know the magazine offers an online subscription. But to me, there's just something so romantic about print -- the scent, the feel of glossy paper...<BR/>Can't wait to read your piece.Jen Laceda | Milk Guideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00619343060622081800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1024398511254172770.post-53129974813614383402009-01-05T21:05:00.000+04:002009-01-05T21:05:00.000+04:00Looking forward to checking out those travel artic...Looking forward to checking out those travel articles. It's amazing how movies are now influencing travel destinations. The whole Da Vinci code crowd running all over Paris, New Zealand had more foreigners than Kiwi's after Lord of the Rings, and now Australia the movie.<BR/><BR/>~GennaroAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
