Do you have mail?
Check your inbox everybody we’ve drawn a lucky winner and sent out a notification email and are eagerly awaiting a reply.
In answer to the comments and emails we’re receiving about the Best Experience in the World competition which we drew last week, we’ve had over 23,000 entries for the competition from all over the world and the lucky winner has been drawn…however we haven’t yet heard back from that person and have been trying to contact them by all means possible over the last few days!
Please check your email, including your junk folder in case it’s in there by mistake, and then check it again!
If we still haven’t heard back from them by the October 23rd we will re-draw the competition and find another winner.
Good luck again
Ben

melbourne_mum on October 14th, 2009
Hey Ben, My boys and I met you at Airlie Beach a few Saturday nights ago (Adventure Whitsunday Caravan Park). They all wanted to say Hi to you, and to let you know that if you need helpers, they want to be first in line!
Cheers!
Ben Southall on October 15th, 2009
Of course I remember the guys with the bandanas!! Say hi to them from me and maybe see you sometime soon!? Ben

Hey Ben,
So, I’ve noticed that the name has not been published, and my old email has recently been deleted by my school. Crossing my fingers that it’s me, but it’s probably a long shot. Let me know if you hear anything. Enjoy the rest of your journey.
Loving the blog and the adventures! I applied for the job as well, but alas, you beat me out for it
xoxo,
Lisa

Hi, Just deleted 500 spam messages without checking who they were from. Mostly people offering me sexual stuff so didn’t read them. If I’ve been picked I will be on the first flight out of here.

Hi Ben,
I don’t know what JP thinks he has won. But we are getting ready to travel.I look forward to meeting you and visiting the Islands. We are having a late summer here in California USA. I was hoping it might rain before we leave so I can say we are leaving our winter for warmer weather but we are still on the beach here.
See you soon
