How you can win great prizes by visiting SA’s national parks

Need an incentive to get out in nature? How does winning a weekend getaway to Kangaroo Island, a Cleland Wildlife Park membership or a Riverland houseboat holiday sound?

You can win these great prizes and more, just by visiting South Australian national parks this October and November.

Our friends at Parkapiki have used GPS technology to create virtual boundaries around more than 100 national parks.

All you need to do is visit one of these parks and when you’re there, open the competition page on your smart phone or tablet, and fill in the form and include a creative and original comment about the park you’re visiting to enter.

If you’re thinking you can take a short-cut and enter the competition from the comfort of your lounge room, think again. The competition page will only be available to you when your smart phone detects that you are within the boundary of the park, so you really do need to get out and explore the park for your chance to win.

What can you win?

There are six prizes on offer:

• a weekend getaway on Kangaroo Island for two
• two night’s accommodation at a lighthouse keeper’s cottage, either at Cape Willoughby Conservation Park or at Flinders Chase National Park
• a family membership to Cleland Wildlife Park
• a weekend getaway on a Riverland houseboat
• two night’s accommodation at Donington Cottage, Lincoln National Park plus two nights accommodation in Inneston Historic Village, Dhilba Guuranda-Innes National Park
• a family tour pass for Kangaroo Island.
