Default AAMI - "What about me?" add
Does anybody happen to know where the latest AAMI add (the one with all of the drivers singing) was filmed?

I was thinking the same last night when i saw it again.
I'm sticking my neck out here and saying Ballarat?
Maybe RG can shed some light.

Pinky you are right.

Lydiard Street South, Ballarat. Just out the front of Her Maj Theatre and Craigs Royal Hotel.

It's the other side of the main street to where the VB ad was filmed.

Yeah but Ballarat drivers are also illiterate, so he probably thought he was doing 60, .
