MOST people can only dream of an all-expenses-paid holiday, but for the Turners that dream became a reality.
The Pine Mountain family scored $35,000 in prizes including a 13-week expenses paid road trip around Australia, plus a complete makeover of their own caravan with their choice of Dometic and WAECO products.
Handpicked from more than 1000 entries nationwide, Ross and Lorraine Turner and their two children, 11-year-old Jacob and six-year-old Ella, will enjoy a tropical Queensland adventure, after they were chosen as ambassadors for leisure products company the Dometic Group, in their Follow The Sun promotion.
The family had to state in 100 words why they would make good ambassadors, as well as submitting photos of themselves and their caravan.
The family will start their tour in Brisbane and then head north to the Sunshine Coast, Hervey Bay, Bundaberg and the Capricorn Coast.
From there they will stay northward bound to Cairns before heading back south, passing through Charters Towers, Emerald and then back to the Gold Coast.
Keen caravanning enthusiasts, the couple said they were thrilled to be chosen for this ambassador role.
They see it as a fantastic opportunity to see some of Australia’s best destinations while being paid to travel around in their newly renovated caravan.
“It is the chance to spend some time together and the caravan fit out is a nice bonus,” Mr Turner said.
“We’ll get to meet new people and see the countryside, something that we wouldn’t have done until we retired.
“We’re fortunate we can do it with the kids.”
Their adventure tour will begin at the Brisbane Caravan and Camping Show on June 13 and finish on the Gold Coast with a huge party September 15.
While on their trip, the Turners will conduct regular happy hours with fellow travellers and locals and post blogs describing their adventures at www.dometicfollowthesun.com.au They will also appear on Channel Nine weekend travel show.
