We recently held a contest on Instagram where we called upon Canadians to upload a post that inspires travel to Australia for a chance to win two roundtrip flights onboard Air New Zealand to the land down under. We received thousands of entries from Canadians across the country and were overwhelmed with the amount of creativity and passion they all had for the beautiful country of Australia. Without further Adieu, we’re excited to announce the Grand Prize Winner, and the runner-up winners who have each won a $200 Flight Centre gift card.
And the Winner is…
