18 Aug 09 | A new TV ad promoting the Hepburn Shire has split the Daylesford and Hepburn Springs tourism community. One letter writer to The Advocate has described the ad as depicting those who live in the area as "peasants, simple country folk and miserable". Another said the ad showed people as "sad and mistrusting peasants". Others, however, saw the ad and promotional campaign as "amazing", "impressive", and a "visual feast of the senses".
Watch the ad and judge for yourself.
