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

yeah you should put the names on line just in case someone deleted by mistake the email ?
plus they said in the terms and conditions that right after the draw they would publish the name!!!!
That’s sad…I checked my inbox and it can’t be me then
Keep enjoying your amazing adventures Ben! 
ya i totally agree it should have been posted online as stated in the terms and conditions….i had been checking both my email and the link to where the name was to be published in hopes it would be me!!!!! i just hope the person who has been drawn wanted it as bad as me !!!!!!
what is that link?
What was the subject line for the email that was sent out, so I can do a search in my email or if it’s not me this information may be helpful to someone else.
Thanks,
Ben!
I’d LOVE to join you down there! I agree to post the name…I have my fingers crossed!!
i don`t have e-mail.:(

Put my name on the list!!

Sorry to disapoint you guys,
but if your name is not Barbie you did not win the best experience
She s from the US
I don’t think that picture of the “saltie” is going to flush her out of hiding anytime soon!
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!
Of course I remember the guys with the bandanas!! Say hi to them from me and maybe see you sometime soon!? Ben
I think I am actually the winner. I thought it was a hoax. I am trying to sort out all the info. now. Hopefully it all comes together.
I believe you are as well! Congratulations and look forward to hearing all about you and your friends as we go on this adventure together! 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
