(All figures represent the number of Unique Australian Visitors [UAVs] to that website over the monthly period – unless otherwise stated above).

Key Points to Note:

• We expect to see a Facebook increase in Australian users over the longer term
• Travel related social networks will increase over the summer months
• Many of the smaller networks ranked 10+ continue to lose users every month and they don’t provide enough interest for people to return over and over.
