Bindi Irwin's joyous Tasmanian family holiday photos were sure to be on the radar of US celebrity watching media — the trouble is, they don't seem to know the difference between Tasmania and Tanzania, locations which are more than 11,000 kilometres apart.
A major US celebrity news publication has mistaken Tasmania for Tanzania , after Bindi Irwin posted holiday photos from Cradle Mountain.
She made the trip to the Tasmanian national park with her husband Chandler, daughter Grace, brother Robert and mother Terri. "While it appears this an unfortunate mistake, as clearly Tasmania is a long way from Tanzania, in an odd way it gives us an ability to create even more buzz about our iconic Cradle Mountain," Ms Hills said.
"From Tasmania's perspective there's a risk they'll lose tourists to Tanzania, but I think most people are smart enough to work it out provided there's not a Cradle Mountain over in Tanzania," she said."They could have a lost traveller agency if you've got travellers over in Tanzania seeking wombats?"
"There hasn't been as many visitors around, so any quirky, fun stories around the state from people like Bindi will help those operators who would really like more business at this time of the year," she said.
