Facebook app for Australian New7Wonders of Nature Finalists

The Australian government agency responsible for marketing the country as a travel destination, Tourism Australia, has launched a Facebook application to generate support for Uluru and the Great Barrier Reef Finalists in the New7Wonder of Nature campaign. The app invites fans of the SeeAustralia Facebook page to upload images and stories about Uluru and the Great Barrier Reef and share these with friends encouraging them to cast their votes too.

“We are asking our Facebook fans to share their stories and images about Uluru and the Great Barrier Reef with their friends to encourage them to cast their vote for our finalists in the New7Wonders of Nature campaign,” Andrew McEvoy, Managing Director, Tourism Australia, said. “With the support of our huge Facebook following and their friends I’m sure we can get both Uluru and the Great Barrier Reef over the line as two of the final New7Wonders of Nature.”

“Tourism Australia is to be congratulated for leveraging the power of Facebook to create a greater awareness of its amazing landscapes, while at the same time getting lots of people excited about the New7Wonders of Nature campaign,” said Eamonn Fitzgerald, Head of Communication at New7Wonders.

The wonders of cricket and nature

Tomorrow is the biggest day of the year for cricket fans all over the world. The ICC World Cup Final between India and Sri Lanka promise to be a terrific occasion, with a carnival atmosphere and two outstanding teams. India start as favourites, but Sri Lanka are very organized and it should be a close game.

Only 33,000 fans can fit inside Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium but hundreds of millions will be watching the match on television. And that's just in India. According to the country's 2011 census, India's population has grown by 181 million people over the past decade to 1.21 billion. The BBC reports that more people now live in India than in the United States, Indonesia, Brazil, Pakistan and Bangladesh combined.

Speaking of Bangladesh, the Cricket World Cup, which began on 19 February and ends tomorrow, was played at venues across India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. This was Bangladesh's first time co-hosting a World Cup and, in fact, the first game of the tournament was between India and Bangladesh at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka.

Once the Cricket World Cup ends, attention will begin to focus on one of the world's next big events: the election of the New7Wonders of Nature and the announcement of the winners on 11 November. Bangladesh is represented with the Sundarbans and we can only hope that the spirit of co-operation that has marked the Cricket World Cup will turn into lots of votes from India and Sri Lanka for the regional candidate.

For tomorrow's game, New7Wonders says: May the best team win!
