    Tourism Australia is hosting a series of Facebook live videos bringing viewers along on some of the country’s “exclusive travel experiences.”

    Live from Aus will launch on Saturday, May 16, and will include several videos over the entire weekend that promise to “ignite your wanderlust.”

    “Think Chris Hemsworth-inspired morning workouts in Byron Bay, croc encounters with the Outback Wrangler Matt Wright and dance parties with The Wiggles,” tourism officials explained. 

    “Take a break on Phillip Island and enjoy front-row seats at the Penguin Parade; be captivated by the underwater world on a virtual tour of the Great Barrier Reef; learn the best-kept secrets behind the ultimate Aussie BBQ from chef Hayden Quinn, and soak up the serenity of an Uluru sunset – all from the comfort of your couch.”

    If nothing else, the virtual travel experience will help you plan your next adventure in the outback.
