Christmas is a time for giving and we feel very humbled to be able to give 8 entry passes to Taronga Zoo to a local family in need of some cheering up these holidays.

We have a winner and we think it’s one that’ll have lots of people celebrating, as this family was nominated by many of our readers.

Congratulations Grant Casper!

We hope this little gift brings you and your son many smiles as you wander through the monkey enclosure, come face to face with the tigers and pet the farm animals.

Thank you to Jaime Elliss, Jess Brewin, Kristy Ranken, Ebony Parish, Sinead Mowday, Vanessa Jones, Lesley RathboneTrish NobleAnne McKenzie, Alexandra Sergeant, Kimberly Shepherd, Rachael Mcfadden for nominating Grant, and for everyone else who nominated family and friends. There were many deserving winners and we wish we could have gifted each of them with a prize.

Wishing you all a very merry Christmas.


This competition has closed.

We’re GIVING AWAY 2 family passes to Taronga Zoo (that’s 8 tickets!) and we want you to nominate a local Central Coast family who deserves to win them.

The family may have lost a loved one, or be suffering health problems, or financial stress. You don’t need to share the reason (we respect people’s wish for privacy), so if you know of a family who could use some cheering up this Christmas, nominate them in our Facebook comp. Then tell all of your friends and family to nominate them too. The more times that family’s name appears, the better their chance of winning.
