Interesting....This competition is supposedly exclusive to Roses Only customers, but I can't see this anywhere in the T&C.

It doesnt look like you have to make purchase and Great Southern Rail are judging it.....mmm not sure.

Maybe the ('eligible persons') in the very 1st line of T&C's refers to Roses Only customers?..I had read it as Australian residents over the age of 18 yrs ? but on reflection??? a bit ambiguious and does not say how many times you can enter..Mmmmmm....


Method of Entry:
1. Entry is open to Australian residents over the age of 18 (‘eligible persons’).

Another interesting point (am I reading it right?  One sentence says it's one way and the other says you have to return to the same point which sounds like it's return travel)
8. Two Platinum Service tickets travelling on the Indian Pacific Perth to Sydney or vice versa
one way. The prize is valued at AUD$6,900.....

BUT

The winner (and their travelling companion ) must depart from and return to the same
departure point and travel together.

I just entered successfully (and signed up to RosesOnly as well) and noticed both those things you mentioned sandybottoms. I thought it was unusual too.

The T&C's definately says ONE WAY..!! but MUST return to place of departure...What THE ????

if you try and buy 2 platinum tickets one way on the indian pacific it currently costs you about $7044 so im assuming it is definitely one way only as by the total prize pool

I can't see this comp anywhere on the home page or any links mentioned on the site, so maybe it's only advertised on Roses Only boxes, hence the connection. Anyone bought chocolates lately?

Not for almost a 100 bucks a pop..I have'nt ;-(

Hubby says the winner will have to hitch back for the return journey...and then check in with..(Station Master?)...where they boarded the train...lol

Well you'll just have to let us know after you win whether you got stranded somewhere eh?  :)  Good luck though - would be a lovely prize

The bit that confuses me is "a person may not refer themselves". I can't see where you have to refer anyone!

Maybe one of us should contact them and ask them to explain the confusing terms

I worked for NSW railways and I was married to a Station Master for 25 years..he was hard to understand also...maybe it's a Railway thing
