Win an “Aussie Week”!

Have you always wanted to go to Australia, but didn’t think you had the time or money? Now you can win a seven night trip to Australia for adventure, wildlife, fantastic food and friendly locals!

Tourism Australia and Qantas Airways are looking for the best American ambassadors to win a seven-night trip to one of Australia’s great cities: Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane.

Perhaps you’ll be off to Sydney, voted one of the world’s best cities for its first-class restaurants, wine valleys, beaches and outdoor adventures.

Maybe you’ll venture to stylish Melbourne, a city of Victorian architecture, trams, fashion, food, theatres, art galleries and leafy gardens.

Or maybe Brisbane and its access to the Great Barrier Reef, wildlife, beautiful beaches and tropical adventure will be the lucky spot?

The "Aussie Week: trip includes two round-trip Qantas Airways Economy Class tickets from Los Angeles to either Sydney, or Melbourne or Brisbane; seven nights accommodation; and select touring options. Travel must commence and be completed between September 30, 2007 and November 30, 2007.
