Tourism Australia’s Come and Say G’day is a landmark destination marketing campaign designed to drive international consideration and conversion for Australian travel. With a $130M investment the latest iteration of this campaign, starring Nigella Lawson, represents the largest campaign in Tourism Australia’s history. Combining world-class creative with advocacy-led storytelling, it positions Australia as an unforgettable holiday destination.

Nigella Lawson
Says Nigella Lawson: “It’s no secret that I adore Australia from the very depths of my being. I’m not sure a lifetime is long enough to experience all of it, but I’m doing my best! I love its big sky, the beauty of its vast land and the blue waters that surround it, the vibrant richness of its cities and, of course, the fantastic food it offers, from its treasure trove of native ingredients to the quality of its food-producers and chefs who ensure Australia is a culinary culture like no other. You can’t come here only once, I’ve found: Australia just gets into your soul and draws you back.”
