Sorry, just jealous, its a fabulous comp, just that the organisers seem to be able to avoid large population centres when they draw the winners...and I always feel guilty about killing so many trees when I buy the paper just to get the coupon...

Australian Annual Wine Dozen 2008

Will try and find the T&C's
great - just love the way these come around as regular as clockwork. Mind you, not winning one is equally as regular - but there's always hope!
Wonder if anyone from Sydney will win this year? It would be a first, despite the population buying probably 40% of the Australian's sold around the
country.

Thanks for the bigger print WP that is very kind of you.
And thanks for explaining in red, they will have 4 coupons in the paper on the 14th as was wondering about how that would work out.
If we can't afford the extra costs for the overseas travel ones we could be better off just trying for the Australian holidays.
Griffin the information I posted wasnt mine, it was originally posted by zen , so you can thank them instead
Saw the t&cs in the PNs and thought hasn't the year gone quickly
One might go to Sydney this year 3LP so you'll just have to figure out how to get your name on it Amazingly I remember two holidays going to the same small town last year.
Maybe I should move there? 
I get sucked into this comp every year but then so do a lot of my non-comping friends, which may explain why Lottoers don't seem to win
Thanks to WP and zen for narrowing it down. I just need to buy the paper............. every day!
Wishing everyone luck with this one
So many thanks to zen for the info.
Have ordered two papers for the 14th in case they run out - (not a big spender here) might be good idea to pre-order for the ones you want to enter
Good luck everyone - I'd love to see a lottos winner this year! Usually I narrow it down to buy the paper on the days of the holidays I want to win
but this year I'd be happy with any of these holidays
They all look great
Thanks to all those who added the extra info
dont forget this starts today.
picked up mine this morning and had a chat to the newsagent about the comp. The papers go up in price from Monday
Many thanks for the posts and the prize list in large font, helps a lot. I kept the list from the paper but so so hard to read. Just going for the
ones I really really want to win, GOOD LUCK everyone
Hi,
If anyone would like the Sydney voucher from today's paper (HOLIDAY 10: FEB 14 Blue Sydney - A Taj Hotel, Sydney, Australia) - just U2U me.
Being a Sydneysider, not really a holiday I want.
Gone
so the first lot of holidays were drawn today? and people phoned today?
I didn't get a call 
My dream prize would love to crack this one.
