This competition has now closed. Thank you for your interest.

An Unmissable Destination:
Victoria offers a rich blend of urban delights coupled with many of those other ingredients makes us want to travel to Australia in the first place. Beyond stylish, cosmopolitan Melbourne, yet within an hour or so drive, lies a broad range of fascinating destinations, from wild landscapes to wildlife, old gold rush towns to golden beaches, award-winning wineries and gourmet food producers, Aboriginal rock art sites and top hotels.

An Unmissable Prize:
The lucky winners will fly with Etihad Airways to Melbourne where they will spend the first two nights at the Lindrum hotel. On day three they’ll pick up a hire car and drive to the Mornington Peninsula, a region of vineyards, olive groves and farms, with the night spent at the Woodman Estate. After a night at Captains on the Bay at the popular seaside of Apollo Bay, they will drive along the most scenically magnificent stretch of the Great Ocean Road, passing the iconic Twelve Apostles rock formations. You’ll spend a night at the Sebel in Warnambool before turning inland to the rugged volcanic Grampian Mountains where they’ll be plenty of opportunity to see wildlife as well as Aboriginal rock art sites, with two nights spent at the Royal Mail Hotel. On then to the pretty town of Daylesford, another area famed for its excellent food and wine and natural springs, staying at the Lake House hotel before a final two nights beach in Melbourne at the Sebel Hotel, converted into a boutique hotel from a landmark 19th century building that used to be the Bank of Australia. The prize also includes 6 days’ (medium) car hire.
