Parliamentary Secretary for Tourism and Member for Barron River Steve Wettenhall is urging everyone to get behind two of the Tropical North's popular tourist icons.

"People only have until Sunday to cast their vote," Mr Wettenhall said.
"If they get enough votes these locations will then be visited by the Google Trike and be uploaded for all to see.
