Klick's LA office was lucky enough to be invited to the G’Day USA Virtual Tour of Australia event in New York City recently, hosted by Tourism Australia.  The event showcased the best-of-the-best of Australia via virtual reality, with delicious canapés prepared by none other than Neil Perry.

The star-studded event was hosted by Aussie actress Rachel Griffiths, who interviewed the dashing Chris Hemsworth live on stage.  (A very excited Klick LA team member was one of the only people in the room to snag a selfie with Chris after his talk. And yes, he is that handsome in real life). It was a fantastic way for our LA team to experience a little bit of Australian magic, even on a cold and dreary NYC night.

The leaves were also used to send positive spiritual energy to the Sydney and Los Angeles teams during the Global WIP.
