Other helpful information
Depending on the genre of your event and the geographic regions you wish to target
there may be many more local pages on which you can post. In addition to those within
the Alpine Shire, consider engaging other towns and cities in North East Victoria/Southern
Riverina NSW region such as Wangaratta, Beechworth, Albury/Wodonga, Benalla,
Shepparton and Chiltern, and nearby metro centres such as Canberra and Melbourne.
When promoting your event on social media remember to use the official hashtags to
make sure your posts are seen. Hashtag #seehighcountry and where your event is located
(or the closest town);
#lovebright
#harrietville
#myrtleford
#mtbeauty
Along with promoting your event via social media, you can create a free online listing via
the Australian Tourism Data Warehouse (ATDW). This listing will appear on the Visit
Victoria website and the Visit Bright & Surrounds websites, as well as filtering down to
many others. Go to www.atdw.com.au for more information or download the How To
document on the Planning Festivals and Events page on the Alpine Shire Council website:
