Congratulations to our competition winner, Carol Lydeamore of Streaky Bay, who submitted the following entry:

"I need a quirky entry to win".
"Mmm....... check his Weblog, YouTube, MySpace".
"Eh!?"
"Can you switch a computer on!!?"
"Yes!!!"
"Don't bother entering, just go!!!"

Carol was very excited to have won, and I'm sure she will be posting soon to tell us about the seminar and all the other activities she crammed into her trip to Adelaide.
