Major US magazine's embarrassing gaffe about Bindi Irwin's visit to Tasmania - but many Aussies are celebrating the blunder

The Irwins recently headed off to Tasmania for a family holiday. US Magazine mistook Tasmania for Tanzania, in Africa, writing about the 'family vacation in the East African country' and said the group tagged 'the resort where they stayed, Cradle Mountain Lodge'. 'While it appears this an unfortunate mistake, as clearly Tasmania is a long way from Tanzania, in an odd way it gives us an ability to create even more buzz about our iconic Cradle Mountain,' Hills said.

Amy Hills, from the council, told the ABC in a statement that Tasmania was happy to accept the promotion, even if it came at the expense of an error 'While it appears this an unfortunate mistake, as clearly Tasmania is a long way from Tanzania, in an odd way it gives us an ability to create even more buzz about our iconic Cradle Mountain,' Hills said 'Takes me back to the time when I told the in-laws we were moving to Tasmania, Mother-in-law nearly passed out thinking we were moving to darkest Africa,' one more wrote.
