Australian rising star Isabel Lucas will become the face of a new ad campaign for the state of Victoria, of which Melbourne is the capital city.

The Hollywood-based Transformers star will front for a new multi-million-dollar campaign showcasing Victoria’s so-called provincial villages.

Lucas is a graduate of the homegrown television soap opera Home And Away. She is shown in the ads promoting the Daylesford natural springs region.

Tourism Minister Tim Holding said the $7.3 million advertising push will emphasise Victoria as Australia’s “premium indulgence and wellbeing destination”.

He said, “If you ever want to see a campaign that captures the essence of what a region is all about, this is a campaign that does that.”

The chief executive of Tourism Victoria, Greg Hywood, said: “This will be spread over three years – we’ll be leveraging other villages off this campaign. It’s basically saying come to Victoria, involve yourself in the village experience.”
