Wow, this is an exclusive experience money can’t buy!

Well, actually a thousand dollars can buy! That’s right, if your family or business makes a donation of $1000 to the Wildlife Hospital, we will treat you like a VIP for a day – in the most unusual exclusive way imaginable!

First of all, not only will you be undertaking the Car Rally, but you will be doing it in a chaffeur driven vehicle….. personally driven by a senior Australia Zoo executive! What sort of vehicle? No boring ho-hum stretch limo for you – how about a Toyota Landcruiser 4WD with an enormous fibreglass crocodile on top!!!!

Yes, the famous Croc Cruiser, normally seen out the front of Australia Zoo, will be your exclusive transport for the car rally. NEVER BEFORE has this experience been available!

Of course you will get to do the car rally challenges in style – every single person in the car will be escorted past the queues (no waiting for our VIP’s!) and undertake the challenges – even the ones where ordinary participants only get one person per car, like the go-kart race at the Big Kart Track, the Redback Ride at Aussie World and the Segway obstacle course at Twin Waters Resort, courtesy of Xperiences.com.au. Even our secret challenge will be available for every single VIP member of your rally team!

Whilst zipping around the car rally route, we’ll throw in snacks and drinks for your cruise around our beautiful Sunshine Coast.

Then you will be treated to a VIP tour of both Australia Zoo and the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital, personally escorted by a true Wildlife Warrior!

Finally, at the awards ceremony in the world famous Crocoseum at Australia Zoo, we won’t expect our VIP’s to just sit in the stands like us ordinary folk. No, you will be out there in the middle of the Crocoseum (I’m sure the crocs will be securely locked away!) enjoying all the attention that you deserve.

So, for only a thousand bucks for up to four people, you will have the day of your lives! This is obviously only available for awesomely generous, compassionate and caring individuals as all that cash will benefit our injured, ill and orphaned aussie animals being treated at the the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital.  Think of the koalas you’ll personally save!

This offer is strictly limited to one Croc Cruiser full of VIP’s (there is only one!!!!) and the first group to make this donation gets the experience! Hurry – Contact us now via comments on this page! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!

OK.. we’re getting nervous! In an excited kind of way!

Less than one month to go until the best family fun day ever. Make sure you’ve got 27th May circled in your calendar!!!

Car Registrations are flying in – if you haven’t registered yet, hurry up and register to guarantee a spot, you don’t want to miss out on this amazing event.

We have had over one thousand unique visitors to this website! We’re now got promotions on TV, Radio and Print thanks to all the lovely media people who are supporting us!

Even donations of prizes are still flooding in! Just last night we received an offer of a years supply of “Beef Bark” for one lucky pet! This prize was donated by Deb at Bow Wow Chow – you have to check out their website for some awesome treats for your dog – you can even spoil your pup with Bacon Donuts!!!! mmmmmmm…..

We’re trying to add up the value of all our prizes to give away – there’s about three thousand dollars worth of prizes!!!!

This is going to be HUGE!!!!

The power of the media never ceases to amaze me!

We got home from a Sunday out and fired up the computer and checked on the Car Rally registrations. Cool, another car has been registered and on the line “where did you hear about us” was the answer “The Great South East”.

Wow, we had spoken to the TV show producers about getting a community announcement for the fundraiser. However, that was a few weeks ago and we’d forgotten about it.

So we turn on the TV, flick to Channel 7 and The Great South East is still on! Wow, that was fast. The show is not even over yet and someone has seen the announcement, checked out our website, decided it was a fun day out and registered!

Suddenly, there’s another one…. and then another one! We got three registrations before the show had even finished!!!! You guys are awesome! We also received another one that night – hopefully with more to follow!

Checking the TV Guide, it looks like they replay this week’s show next Saturday (5th May)at 11:30am on their sister channel Seven Two. We’ll be watching for sure (with one eye on the computer) for our thirty seconds of fame!

Thanks to all the wonderful people at The Great South East (especially you, Fiona) – you’ve helped us a lot! Think of the animals lives you’ve just helped save by helping promote the fundraiser for the Australian Wildlife Hospital.

Check out this really cool website called Weekend Notes. It is chock-a-block full of ideas to turn your boring weekend into fabulous fun.

Obviously you’ll be having an awesome weekend for the 27th May but what are you going to do on all those weekends when we aren’t running fundraisers????

Thanks to the wonderful team at Weekend Notes for this great publicity for our Family Fun Day Car Rally. Thanks for your support!

My “Reporter for a Day” article came out in Crikey Magazine and I love it!!!! This was my reward for being the highest fundraiser in the 2011 Readathon for Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors.

I read 23 books and raised over $1000 for the wildlife hospital – thanks to all my wonderful sponsors and supporters and friends – thanks guys!

It was the best day with lovely Louise from Crikey – I’ve been reading the magazine for several years now and always look forward to it arriving in the letterbox! This month we also bought some extra copies!

They even ran an ad for our family fun day car rally fundraiser! Hopefully lots of Crikey readers will support our fundraiser and have an awesome day at the same time!

Only two months to go!

Wow, I remember when we first started planning the car rally, driving all over the Sunshine Coast checking out fun places to go – it seemed like May was too far away!

Now the countdown is on……

See you on the 27th of May for a great day of fun, great prizes and raising money for an awesome wildlife conservation charity!
