AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TOURISM


Having been invited to participate in Australian Capital Tourism's ground-breaking Human Brochure activity in 2013, I was delighted to see my content being deployed across campaign pieces promoting Canberra and its surrounds in capital city weekend newspapers during 2014.
The Human Brochure project brought 500  influential social media users to Canberra to experience the very best of Australia's capital in different streams: 
> Family
> Food & Wine
> Art & Culture
> Adventure

SBS FEAST MAGAZINE
Issue 21, June 2013

Having travelled to Oman with a group of media types in March 2013, we were thrilled to see some of our photos accompanying a terrific piece in SBS Feast Magazine by the awfully excellent Edwina Dick.

Edwina's story is a delicious ride on the sweet side of Oman. From Omani honey, to scoops of dark, sticky halwa - the iconic national sweet - rosewater, and fluffy balls of sweet dough known as lokhemat.

The photographed lokhemat were served to us during an unforgettable evening in Old Muscat with a Omani Women's group... Delicious!
