And The Winner Is...

As promised yesterday, I have (with the assistance of a trusted accomplice) drawn a winner for this stage.

And the winner is...(CUE TRUMPET BLAST). COLORADO 24! Yes, you know who you are. All you need do to claim your prize is email me your address, along with the film of your choice having anything to do with AUSTRALIA (either actors from or the film itself located Down Under). It will be delivered to your doorstep along with my sincere thanks for your continued support!!

For those of you who missed out this time around, there's always stage TWO (which we are now in). All that is required for you to enter is at least one comment on my blog, and a public following.

Congratulations, Colorado 24!

Finally, as a reminder, here are the crucial dates for this whole shindig.

March 2 - Announcement of 50 shortlisted candidates
April 6 - Announcement of 11 shortlisted candidates
May 3 - week of interviews with 11 in Queensland
May 6 - announcement of the winning candidate
July 1 - start date for the new "Caretaker of Hamilton Island"

If we make it past the first cut over 34,000 other candidates, that will be cause for incredible celebrating. If not, well, we can walk away knowing more than we ever thought we would about one of the greatest places on earth! See you tomorrow!
