Surfing ripples far and wide

TO CELEBRATE the Noosa Festival of Surfing, Tourism Noosa brought together five of Australia’s most influential Instagrammers to showcase Noosa to the rest of the world.
Instagram is a photo-sharing media platform with over 300 million users blogging and sharing special moments captured on camera.
During their four-day stay in Noosa, the five social media experts shared beautiful images from around the Noosa region with their thousands of online followers.
The platform unearths influential Instagrammers each year who are followed by thousands of users engaging with their content.
The Instagrammers captured the beauty of Noosa National Park, a stunning sunrise at Mt Tinbeerwah, the colours of the Noosa Farmers’ Markets and all the action of the Noosa Festival of Surfing.
The Instagrammers included travel photographer and Australia’s first professional Instagrammer Lauren Bath, who has more than 380,000 followers online, and the third biggest Instagrammer with 123,000 followers, Garry Norris.
Also attending the event was Jewelszee, who was a perfect fit for Noosa with her colourful beach stream account and 91,000 followers, water-based Instagrammer Mark Clinton and up-coming social media influencer Melissa Findley.
Tourism Noosa CEO Damien Massingham said hosting five of Australia’s top Instagrammers was a fantastic opportunity for Tourism Noosa to reach thousands of followers and show them what Noosa has to offer.
The familiarisation forms part of Tourism Noosa’s visiting journalists program that targets travel and lifestyle media nationally and internationally.
