The search for Australia's Greatest Adventurer will be on as Tourism Tropical North Queensland (TTNQ) launch their interstate campaign targeting "Active Explorers".

The aim of the campaign, which will be run in April and May, is to take Tropical North Queensland and its adventurous experiences "direct to the consumer in partnership with mainstream media, affinity corporate businesses and through our social media sites."

Ten local adventurers including Ultraman World Champion, Mike Le Roux, will be the face of the campaign, inspiring other adventurers to enter the competition. The local adventurers will help TTNQ to select Australia’s Greatest Adventurer.

Other local adventurers who will be the faces of the “Australia’s Greatest Adventurer” campaign are

Clint Carroll (adventure travel blogger Greenbuddy.com.au), Susan Crow (mountain biker), Trevor Tim (Life coach and motivational speaker), Matthew Herman (all round sportsman and adventurer), Karl Gurnick (kayaker), Tanya Hearn (motocross), Alex Petrou (youth mentor and adventurer), Tammy Barker (adventurer), and Graham Maifredi (rafting instructor and adventurer).

Australia's Greatest Adventurer will win the "ultimate" tropical holiday.
