Can't remember exact words but I researched British Columbia and made sure I included lots of places in my answer like Grouse Mountain etc; and it also rhymed. I hope you get to go one day it really does look magnificent! And thank you everyone for your kind words!

congratulations a lovely win for your family

they published the finalists entries so I think this would be yours

Washing - high as Grouse Mountain,
bath time’s messy like an Orca's fountain,
grizzly bears at bedtime, snowfields of dust,
like Capilano Bridge balancing curiosity's a must!

Yes, it's in their Facebook under Notes!

I work behind a desk all day,

Bring home the family bread.

I’d much rather fly down BC’s rapids,

And tickle bears instead.

"Can't scuba-dive or scale a peak

can't bungee jump, we're too antique,

we'd prefer luxury, history, and views

let's experience British Columbia so curious!"

(Angela, NSW)

 

CURIOUSER AND CURIOUSER', I am........ to understand,

Do bears run fast? Do whales make noise?

In BC's Wildlife 'WONDERLAND'?

(Cheryl, VIC)

 

One part Vancouver 2 parts sun,

Add whistler -pour out fun.

Spirits low, finance s chronic,

British Columbia.....the perfect tonic!

(Dean, NSW)

 

Can it really be true

I'll win a trip for 2plus2

See whales. Bears too

BC elk & caribou

And not even visit the zoo!

(Georgia, NSW)

 

In Khutzeymateen I’m curious to meet,

A Grizzly with an Aussie streak.

G’day, he’d say, It’s tops here mate,

And bar-be-cue me salmon steaks.

(Louisa, NSW)

 

Snow capped mountains, crystal streams

Bear adventures, spectacular scenes

British Columbia, we're not just curious

We'd love to stay, but our family would be furious

(Megan SA)

 

Supercurious, a word you see

Describes me thinking about BC

Only here nature puts on such a show

That is why I long to go!

(Robyn, NSW)

 

Thirsting for adventure, camera in hand,

Trip of a life time-dreams are planned!

Hell with housework-damn the bills,

I'm off to British Columbia to seek my thrills.

(Zharna, NSW)

Thanks for posting the finalists. I am so excited about my winning holiday but alas there will always be negative comments on FB. My entry appears to be 26 words but I used bath time as one word which I see as being correct. I am always careful to stick to 25 words as it's only fair. Anyway thank you everyone for your support, I'm always super excited when an Accer wins and appreciate everyone's kind words.

Bindieye when you are heading over there let me know and she said she will make you a list of Must-see's for over there depending on how long you are staying! She did say Banff is one of the most stunning places and that is a must-see. I haven't looked on the competition to see where in BC you are going to, but im sure it will be amazing! Im heading over there next june/july for 3 weeks and sooooo looking forward to it!!

Congratulations Bindieye!!

You'll have an awesome time  :D :D

I won a trip to Canada back in 2010 (thanks to ACC :-) ) and completely fell in love with the country (so much so that my partner and I are looking at spending some time living and working over there when the kids are a bit older) 

The people are so friendly and the country is just beautiful.  We went in August and the weather was great.  When are you thinking of going? 

Enjoy your holiday  :D
