Is the 'SA' logo I saw on the 'Tiser website the logo of this campaign?

Capital 'S' and a squiggly star in state colours?

If it is, we could have another 'Going all the way' debacle on our hands.

:oops:

I must admit I cringed when I saw it.
We should be honest about promoting this state and stop with the crap jingles.
Something like:
"SA, great place to raise a family, great place to committ bizzarre murders, great place to drink wine and beer, great place to swim with sharks, if you're after something interesting to do though, head to Queensland"

Had a quick scan and it seems as brilliant as SA is it still hasn't the nouse to get the campaign online.
No pictures but here's one page describing it:

Interesting you should say that; I caught quite a few of the new ones when I was over last week. I got on one at 5.30-ish on Friday - an extremely hot day. It was chockers and the aircon struggled, but any aircon that could freeze 120-odd people in that temperature would be a modern miracle. A lot of people's grumbles were also about the lack of seats.

The airport is a disgrace. I decided to have a drink in the bar before I returned home. The "Departures" screen in the bar wasn't working. No worries - I'll listen for the announcments. You couldn't hear them - but when I stepped next door into the newsagency, I could hear them loud and clear. And all this while the level of air conditioning made the above-mentioned tram seem like Mr Freeze's personal vehicle.
