ADV: "The Extraordinary Passenger"

Yesterday, 27th February, 2010, marks my crossing into the 30's and I decided to reward myself and visited the NATAS Travel Fair at Singapore Expo and check out various travel packages to Australia, Hong Kong, Taiwan etc and decide where and when to go on a holiday.

I chanced upon the Tourism Western Australia booth and it was recommending a contest of being "The Extraordinary Passenger" and that caught my eye for sure.  Imagine traveling around Western Australia with one of Australia's finest cab driver, enjoying the Australian Down-under lifestyle and also a chance to win some cash prize.. Woooo Hoooo... that would be absolutely fabulous, a once in a lifetime experience!

Without further ado, I photographically memorized the website address Be The Passenger, and today after reading up more information about the contest and journeys to be expected, I decided to join the contest that is closing on March 5, 2010.  Winner can also bring one companion along, and I had thought of bringing my best buddy of many years along for the journey to experience leg 3: The Perth Lifestyle, which I've chosen and hope to win.

In total, there are 11 legs of the journey spanning a period from April to June, 2010 and winners are expected to be on TV, writing their experiences on blogs or social networking sites like Facebook.  The 11 legs are as follows:

1: Vines, Forests and Beaches

2: Great Southern Explorer

3: The Perth Lifestyle (My chosen leg!)

4: Natural Outback Wonder

5: Coast and Nature Spectacular

 6: Ningaloo Reef Adventure

7: Karijini Discovery

8: Northern Coast Escape

9: Australia Way

10: The Gibb River Road

11: North West Highlights

 For more details what each individual legs covers which part of Western Australia, check out the website and if you are interested, join in the contest which is only open to both Singaporean and Malaysian residents.

So Hurry! Before the contest ends!
