‘Straya mate, they like to do things differently Down Under you see.

The country’s tourism board is keen to attract more Japanese tourists to their shores and they’ve chosen a selfie with a difference as one way to do so. It’s called a GIGA Selfie and it promises to be a big hit. This below from Mashable:

…tourists will stand on a dedicated spot and use an app to set off a distant camera. They can then download a short video clip that starts as a closeup, but pulls away to reveal the surrounding landscape…

“The ‘GIGA Selfie’ campaign will help to raise the level of conversation about Australia in Japan as people share their incredible experiences of holidaying here with their friends and family back home,” Tourism Australia managing director John O’Sullivan said in a statement.

I imagine a selfie taken from below of someone standing atop Table Mountain would go down well with tourists. We’re all for anything that reduces the amount of selfie sticks floating around this part of the world, this gets the 2ov tick of approval then.
