FREE Instagram and social media workshop in Rainbow Beach
ROADTRIP Instagram superstars did the panoramic Pacific Coast Way drive over eight days to kickstart a tourism campaign by TEQ in partnership with Toyota Australia
by Michelle Gilmore
I met the five young social media barons, with their first drive on the sand as they continue on their journey down the panoramic Pacific Coast Way drive.
The group have spent a week showcasing the beauty of Queensland to their hundreds of thousands of followers in an epic 1700km road trip from Cairns to Brisbane.
Hosted by Destination Gympie Region, partnering with Tourism and Events Queensland (TEQ) and Visit Sunshine Coast, the influencers stopped at Rainbow Ocean Palms on their southward journey to capture an Inskip Point sunset, Carlo Sand Blow sunrise and were treated by Rainbow Beach Horse Rides.
Sunsets and sunrises, starry nights, foggy mornings, produce and flowers… they have captured stunning images inspiring us to spend time in regional Queensland.
And they shared some tips for the Community News:
- shoot what you are passionate about
- find your own style
- collaborate with people with different styles
- always be prepared
- charge your batteries, and
- don’t sleep in if you want to catch those sunrises!
Check out their photos – the Instagram user names are @glendavidwilson, @mycolourfulworld, @mcquigan_visuals, @timclark1 and @taylahnilsson.
Mayor Mick Curran commented, “The Queensland drive market is very important to us and social media is an authentic way to promote the region and engage people”.
