Asthma HelperThe Tourism Australia campaign, '30 days in Oz,' is now being broadcasted on Twitter, YouTube as well as the Facebook page of Tourism Australia. The purpose of the Tourism Australia campaign, comprising thirty-60 seconds online videos, is to demonstrate why the country is a perfect haven for young travellers and promote the Working Holiday Visa. It especially encourages the youth leaving school or on a gap year, to visit the country for work or travel.
Tourism Australia Managing Director Andrew McEvoy reveals that most visitors to the continent are young backpackers, spending most of their time travelling and exploring new places.

The campaign has Aussies revealing their local secrets and giving tips in addition to backpackers enjoying Oz on their Working Holiday, discussing their job or letting viewers follow them on their travels.

Australia was initially the residence of indigenous Australians, for almost 40,000 years. Australia's eastern half was claimed by Britain in the year 1770 and formal ownership of the land was taken on 26 January 1788. The population increased consistently in the next decades; and self-governing Crown Colonies were established.

Approximately 57% of Australia's population resides in either Victoria or New South Wales, and 79 % lives in the eastern states of Australia.
