Is your business on Australia's tourism map? If you're not listed on the Australian Tourism Data Warehouse (ATDW), you're missing out on the platform that connects over 50,000 Australian tourism businesses directly to travellers - commission free and through every State and Territory tourism organisation in the country.

As part of the Experience Bridgetown-Greenbushes Tourism Blueprint, we're organising a FREE ATDW workshop to help local businesses get listed and make the most of the platform. One upload. Every channel. Free expert support.

Before we lock in the time, we want to hear from you - vote in the poll and let us know when works best. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SPLG76L

Bridgetown-Greenbushes is a genuinely special place. The river. The festivals. The food. The people. But ask most visitors what to do here, where to go, what makes it worth the drive and there's no clear answer waiting for them.

Experience Bridgetown-Greenbushes is changing that. We're building a Tourism Blueprint for this region - a proper, evidence based strategy to grow the visitor economy in a way that protects what makes this place special and gives every local business a stronger, more consistent year.

This is community led, which means it only works if you're part of it. Register at experiencebridgetown.com.au, it takes two minutes.

This will be a great day for Bridgetown!

Bridgetown business owners and farmers— I need your quick input this morning.
With fuel now being restricted to 100L at a time and prices continuing to rise, I’ll be speaking with Channel 7 shortly about what this actually means on the ground for our local economy.
If you have a moment, I’d really value your insight:
• How is this impacting your day-to-day operations right now?
• What costs are rising the fastest in your business?
• Are you absorbing these costs, passing them on, or changing how you operate?
• What concerns you most if this continues over the next 3–6 months?
• Have you already made any changes to how you run your business?
If you’re in tourism:
• Are you seeing any change yet in bookings, cancellations, or guest behaviour?
If you’re in farming or trades:
• Is fuel availability or fuel price the bigger issue for you right now?
Even a quick one-liner would help build a real picture of what’s happening across Bridgetown.
Thanks in advance — I’ll make sure your voices are represented. You can reply to this post, DM or text me at 0428579947. I really value your contribution.
