No high-rise holidays

Does any one else find it ironic that the Tourism Western Australia is spending millions of dollars in advertising to get Sydneysiders to fly over the other side of the country to experience clean unspoilt and uncommercialised holidays?

They are trying to promote that they are like what the rest of Australia was like before the bulldozers and burger chains moved in.

In particular, they are pushing the point that the only high rises by the beaches are the sandcastles you build yourself.

While Sydney's next door neighbour, the Central Coast is commercializing our holidays, putting the burger chains up and bringing in the bulldozers to put up the high-rises.
