#Aussies being Aussies# around the world in new safety video

Qantas has released its latest (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCsCYy5qq4w&feature=youtu.be) featuring everyday Australians sharing the Aussie spirit with locals in some of the airline's destinations around the world.

Playing cricket on a rooftop in Tokyo, riding in the front seat of a taxi in New York, indulging in a "Tim Tam Slam" in Johannesburg and barracking for the Wallabies in the heart of All Blacks territory in Auckland are some of the 'Australian-isms abroad' featured alongside safety instructions for travelling on Qantas aircraft.

Set to a modern take of the anthemic I Still Call Australia Home, the video starts with a frequent Australian rite of passage as a young woman says farewell to her family at Melbourne Airport and ends with an off-duty Qantas pilot at Cottesloe Beach in Western Australia.

"The primary purpose of these videos is to communicate an important safety message, and we know from our previous efforts that beautiful locations with a touch of humour is a great way to get people's attention each time they fly," said Ms Webster.

Qantas worked with international and Australian state tourism organisations to make the film over five weeks. The new video will begin screening across Qantas domestic and international flights from April with different versions to accommodate eleven languages, as well as the varying aircraft types across the Qantas fleet.
