A7 Our editor's recommendation (they often read books by locals about the destination as trip prep): “The Birth of Sydney,” by Tim Flannery, which features a collection of firsthand descriptions of the city dating from its founding in 1788: https://t.co/x3OrW77pxd #TravelSkills

replying to @Australia @Australia A7 I lived in Mt. Isa when Meryl Streep filmed “A Cry in the Dark” there. The “dingo stole my baby” movie, which is excellent if you’ve not seen it. #TravelSkills

A7: Song, book that inspires me to go to #Australia? "Power and the Passion" by Aussie band Midnight Oil. Bill Bryson's "In a Sunburnt Country." #travelskills

replying to @Australia @Australia A7 Without a doubt “Crocodile Dundee.” In fact, that movie inspired my travel career. I had a chance to meet Paul Hogan and tell him that, too! #TravelSkills

replying to @Australia @Australia A7 My favorite Australia song is “Down Under” by Men at Work. Every time I hear it I want to jump on a plane. #TravelSkills

replying to @Australia @Australia A7 “Priscilla, Queen of the Desert” movie naturally! Campy, colorful and a good depiction of Outback life. #TravelSkills No a musical, too!

A7: You mean other than “Crocodile Dundee”? :) Be sure to read ‘In a Sunburned Country’ by travel writer Bill Bryson. Fun read that really hits on what it means to be in Australia. #Travelskills @Australia

A7 I'm so old school, but the first things that comes to mind is Land Down Under by Men at Work #TravelSkills

A7. For me nothing beats 'The Man from Snowy River' in terms of movies made about, or set in, @Australia. And that includes Crocodile Dundee - though that has its place for sure 😉🤣 #TravelSkills

replying to @Australia @Australia A7 Tourism from the U.S. spiked after the “Crocodile Dundee” movie released in 1986. A “reboot” of the movie trailer from last year was viewed over 100 million times! See it here:https://t.co/Fc7R8cYyqH #TravelSkills

A7. Hands Down: The Man from Snowy River! 1982 hair, shot in the province of Victoria and the best soundtrack ever. Let's not forget the epic riding down the hill scene. https://t.co/jIaSQ28fe6 #TravelSkills
