20-21 THE WRIGHT STUFF W ith Tourism Australia’s recent Super Bowl trailer for ‘Dundee: The son of a legend returns home’ setting the internet alight, the Northern Territory stand is set to have its very own outback Aussie icon in the form of Matt Wright. Known across 130 countries as the ‘Outback Wrangler’ via his crocodile and animal adventure television series, Matt also features in the new Tourism Australia campaign in a light-hearted video called ‘Why Australia’, one of a series of four videos in which American actor Danny McBride chats with Australian celebrities who provide their personal perspective and unique insights on Australia. Matt is only one of many reasons to say g’day to the guys on the NT stand (#1550), with NT Convention Bureau and a large contingent of 18 industry partners, representing the entire Territory from Darwin and the Top End through to Alice Springs and Uluru, serving up some legendary Territory hospitality during the dedicated networking hour at AIME from 5pm on the Tuesday afternoon. The drinks menu will feature special NT-inspired lemon myrtle gin and tonics and mango mojitos, complemented by smoked barramundi from the NT’s Humpty Doo Barra Farm, crocodile kabana, native pepper-crusted beef and lemon myrtle-infused feta with green ants. So come on up to the NT stand and meet the crew: Accor Darwin Airport, Alice Event Management & Consultancy, Alice Springs Convention Centre, Crocosaurus Cove, Darwin Convention Centre, Darwin Harbour Cruises, Fusion Exhibition & Hire Services, Hilton Group, Maruku Arts, Mindil Beach Sunset Market, Nautilus Aviation, Oaks Elan Darwin, Ooraminna Station Homestead, Matt Wright - Wild Australia Series, SEIT Outback Australia, SKYCITY Darwin, Tourism Top End and Wharf One.
