OK. First up, it's a cute song, and I've nothing against seeing some of Ms Minogue.
But... here's the things they show in the ad:-
- beaches
- sports
- bit of modern art
- fishing
- restaurants
- wines
- pubs
You can go to France, Italy or Spain and do all that, can't you? So, why spend a couple of days and a grand flying there and getting jetlagged, when you can nip over the channel?

Agreed.
I'd say that for British tourists, the two specific selling points of Australia are:
* It's summer there during the Northern Hemisphere's winter, and
* It's a country inhabited mostly by English-speaking white people, with a warmer climate than New Zealand, but still more culturally British than the United States.
I've lived there for a year, and I can agree. Unless you've been most other places, don't bother.
I have lots of relatives in Australia. Australians speak English. It's a lot warmer over there during our winter. OK, it's on fire mostly but hey, the proverbial happens now and again.
