The series will have a potential global audience of over 5 million. Mungumby Lodge, situated 35kms south of Cooktown, was chosen from other “ear marked” locations in Tropical North Queensland due to the fact the Lodge and surrounding area contained all that was required to satisfy the Producers to achieve the their shoot. Through the assistance of the Tourism Queensland offices in both Brisbane and London the management of Mungumby Lodge were able to present to the Film Producers that the location was more than adequate to fulfil their needs and requirements. The main species that are being shot are Termites, Velvet Worms, Centipedes and Millipedes, all of which are endemic to the region. Hamish Haslop, co-owner of Mungumby Lodge states “This is a great endorsement for Cooktown Region and highlights the importance of continuing to promote the area to a wider audience both domestically and internationally who wish to experience the vast array of Nature, Culture and History that is on offer. We are very proud to have been chosen over and above the other locations in Tropical North Queensland and to be given the opportunity to showcase what this amazing region has to offer. Our client base from both the domestic and international markets are very discerning and well travelled. They enjoy being “off the beaten track” where they are able to enjoy and savour being at one with nature and the natural environment without the interruptions of mass tourism“ The film crew shot on locations at Helenvale, Laura, Rossville and Mungumby Lodge all of which have great and significant interest to visitors to Tropical North Queensland. Laura is located off the Inland Route to Cooktown and contains not only a great array of Savannah Flora and Nature, but has some of the best Rock Art and the Quinkan Regional Cultural Centre. Rossville and Mungumby Lodge offer a totally different experience being situated on the stunning Coastal Route where “Rainforest meets Reef”. This route is famous for the Bloomfield Track, a spectacular 4WD route that is a popular route with both the Domestic and International Markets. Mungumby Lodge already promotes these respective regions in two carefully researched, tried and tested Expedition packages that are already featured by its travel partners both domestically and internationally and prove to be extremely popular by the guests who have experienced them. *****END**** For further information and images please contact David Reid at Pacific Downunder Marketing on: Email: david@pacificdownunder.com Telephone: +61 (0) 7 4060 3158 Fax: +61 (0) 7 4060 3159   |
