Hi. I am so excited as the voting has just begun for the contest to win a trip to the Australia Zoo. My daughters' video is up on their site and that alone has me feeling so proud. Oh we love The Australia Zoo so much. It has been our greatest wish to go there for over 6 years now. We have talked about it almost daily. We have collected everything from videos, books to even having checks made up with the Irwins on them. When I heard about this contest I felt that maybe we might have a chance as I know that there is really no way we could afford to go on our own. I got a one time video camera from CVS, we made a video which was so much fun. My dear friend who is a computer genius got it online for us. (She had to cut some out to make it fit as we got too carried away-- it was so much fun to make) Please if you could vote for us it would mean everything to us. You do have to register to vote, but it only takes a second. You can also win weekly prizes for whoever votes the most and a grand prize for the overall highest voter which is worth $500.00 They are certainly making this fun for everyone. Our mini horses are in our video too. Yasmin Blues Clues and her filly, Twilight-- she is such a tiny baby girl. Thank you again so much. Sincerely, Cathy in Florida Dear Cathy McBride Congratulations! Your video upload, titled 2 cute Florida girls, has been approved. You can now log in, view and vote for your video at freetrip.australiazoo.com.au/?p=watch&v=o4ypnpru

Hi again. I just wanted to report that they are having problems with the server and it is very hard to get onto the Australia Zoo website at this time. I haven't been able to get back on to vote for the girls' video even. But I know they want it to be so fair and I know that they are working hard to fix this problem. Please if you can keep trying to get on there and see our video-- I bet ours is the only one with Miniature Horses in it. There are so many wonderful videos up there. Everyone did a fantastic job. The Top Ten with the most votes will be shown to Terri and Bindi Irwin to chose a winner from. That will be tough to decide on as all are so good. I had really hoped that we might have a chance as this is the one dream we have had for over 6 years now. But even if I can't get back onto the site it has been a real honor to have our video up there. Sincerely, Cathy in Florida

I just tried to check it out and still said having heavy loads on the server but I sure will keep trying!! I got to go to Australia when I was 12 and it was AWESOME I still remember it. We went to Melburn, Sidney and Perth. Our stay was mostly in Perth though. I really want to take my husband back there someday and frankly I want to see it again! Good luck to you and your daughters.

Cathy, I'll keep trying to get on too. I hope you win....
UPDATE: I got my vote in for you. It was easy to do, and that was a cute little movie the girls did.

Oh thank you all so much. It really means a lot to us. What a nice feeling to have someone else voting for us-- it is wonderful. We always have dreamed of going to Australia. It is our dream country. We have a huge Australian flag and collect anything that has to do with Australia. I am so envious of bndranch. Then when we heard about the Australia Zoo when the Wiggles released "Wiggly Safari" we became devoted fans of the Irwins. Michelle is the same age as Bindi. Her dream has been to meet Bindi one day. We have found a lot of fascinating Australian native animals to see in Florida. This is the best contest in the entire world. I know that Bindi has to feel so loved with everyone wanting to come for her Birthday. Again thank you all so very, very much!!!!!!!! Sincerely, Cathy

Thank you guys so much. My computer is old and slow, so it takes awhile for me to vote. But I am getting as many votes in there as I can. Our video has 180 votes. Maybe we aren't near the one with over 1200, but we are getting there. Again thank you all so very much. My girls want me to tell you that they love all of you. They are excited and having such a good time. Sincerely, Cathy

Thank you. We are now up to almost 280 votes and have moved to the top of page 5 on the videos with the highest votes. Thank you guys so much. We still have a chance. We need to be in the top ten by I think mid June. So we still have a lot of time. The top videos have over 1400 votes now though, but we are still moving on up. Thank you guys again. It means so much to us.
