Win the trip
of a lifetime.

Yes! The giveaway is open internationally, subject to the eligibility requirements and any excluded jurisdictions outlined in the full Terms & Conditions. The travel experience takes place in Melbourne and Victoria, Australia.

Yes! The Grand Prize includes the experience for you AND one friend or partner. Return flights, accommodation and the included travel experience are provided for both of you. You will share one supplied vehicle during the trip. Your guest must also meet the applicable age, passport, visa and travel requirements.

Both the winner and their guest must be 18 years or older before travelling to Australia. Additional age, licence and insurance requirements apply if you wish to drive the supplied vehicle.

Our plan is to provide a BMW M Performance vehicle for the experience, subject to availability, insurance approval and driver eligibility. To drive the proposed performance vehicle, at least one traveller will generally need to be 25 years or older, hold an eligible full driver's licence and satisfy the vehicle provider's insurance requirements.

If both you and your guest are aged 18-24, you can still win and participate in the experience. We will arrange a suitable alternative vehicle, subject to availability, licence and insurance approval. This vehicle may not be a BMW M Performance model or equivalent sports car.

Anyone intending to drive must hold a valid full driver's licence accepted for driving in Victoria, Australia and meet the requirements of the vehicle provider and insurer. Depending on where your licence was issued, you may also require an International Driving Permit (IDP) and/or an English translation. If only one traveller meets the driving requirements, that's completely fine. The other person can still participate but may not be permitted to drive.

You can still participate in the travel experience provided you otherwise meet the applicable travel and eligibility requirements. Alternative transport arrangements can be made where necessary. The ability to personally drive a supplied vehicle is always subject to licence, age, insurance and vehicle-provider requirements.

Any approved driver must comply with Victorian road laws, Targa Classica rules and instructions, vehicle-provider and insurance requirements, and all applicable safety instructions. Dangerous or reckless driving, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or misuse of a supplied vehicle may result in driving privileges being withdrawn.

Drivers are responsible for traffic infringements, parking fines, toll violations and other penalties resulting from their own actions. Any applicable insurance excess or damage liability will be disclosed before the vehicle is driven and will be subject to the vehicle provider's and insurer's terms.

Both travellers must be legally able to enter Australia. You will each be responsible for obtaining a valid passport, any required Australian visa, ETA or travel authorisation, your own travel insurance, a valid full driver's licence if you intend to drive, and an International Driving Permit and/or English translation if required. North Borders cannot obtain passports, visas, travel insurance or driving permits on your behalf.

We will do everything reasonably possible to help you prepare for the trip, but the winner and their guest are ultimately responsible for being legally able and available to travel. If the winner cannot participate during the required dates, the winner will still receive the included Sony camera equipment and MacBook prizes, but the travel experience may be redrawn so that it does not go to waste. The exact process will be governed by the full Terms & Conditions.

Return economy-class flights to Melbourne Airport (MEL), Australia for the winner and their guest are included. The exact departure airport, airline and itinerary will be arranged with the winner and are subject to reasonable availability. Standard baggage allowances will depend on the airline and fare booked.

Flight upgrades, additional baggage, itinerary changes, additional travel or other optional extras requested by the winner or guest are at their own expense unless otherwise agreed. If you'd like to extend your trip in Australia, we may be able to help coordinate this, but additional expenses outside the official experience will be your responsibility.

Absolutely! Australian and New Zealand residents can enter alongside eligible international entrants. If the winner is based in Australia, the applicable travel arrangements will be organised accordingly.

Yes. Travel insurance is not included and is the responsibility of the winner and their guest. We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance covering medical expenses, cancellations, personal belongings and any activities you intend to participate in.

The prize includes eight nights of accommodation during the official experience. The exact hotel, room configuration and accommodation arrangements will be determined based on availability and the final itinerary. Any additional accommodation requested outside the official experience will be at the winner's or guest's own expense unless otherwise agreed.

During the official North Borders itinerary, we'll cover the included accommodation, ground transport, fuel, Targa Classica access and planned activities. Food and non-alcoholic drinks are included during the four-day Targa Classica event. Alcohol is not included. Personal purchases, minibar or room service, shopping, additional activities and expenses outside the official itinerary are not included unless specifically stated otherwise.

The experience is planned around the 2027 Targa Classica Rally from March 1-4, 2027, with the overall trip expected to take place around late February and early March. Exact travel dates will be confirmed once the final itinerary and event schedule are locked in. The winner and their guest must be available during the required travel dates.

The winner and their guest will each receive a brand-new Sony A7 V, a Sony G Master lens of their choice excluding the Sony 300mm, 400mm and 600mm G Master lenses and subject to availability, plus a brand-new MacBook Pro. The equipment is yours to keep.

The equipment will be provided to the winner and their guest in Australia so you can use it to document the experience. Mike will also be there to help you get everything set up and familiarise you with the equipment before the road trip begins. And yes, it's all yours to keep afterwards!

No. The travel experience is not redeemable for cash. If you cannot travel, the travel experience may be redrawn in accordance with the full Terms & Conditions.

The winner may nominate a replacement guest before the applicable booking deadline. Once flights, accommodation or other arrangements have been booked, guest changes may no longer be possible or additional costs may become the winner's responsibility. Any applicable deadline will be communicated before bookings are finalised.

Yes. This will be a major North Borders travel experience and we'll be documenting the trip. By accepting the travel experience, the winner and their guest agree to be reasonably filmed and photographed throughout the trip and to sign any required appearance or content releases. You do not need to be a photographer or content creator, but you should understand that you'll appear in North Borders content documenting the experience.

You'll be joining us for the 2027 Targa Classica Rally in Victoria, Australia as part of the North Borders experience. Participation and access are subject to Targa Classica's rules, safety requirements, waivers and event conditions. Routes, activities and access may change at the event organiser's discretion.

Driving and motorsport-related activities involve inherent risks. The winner and guest must follow all safety instructions and may be required to sign waivers or releases from North Borders, Targa Classica, the vehicle provider or other event partners. Participation in any particular driving activity remains subject to eligibility and approval from the relevant organiser, vehicle provider and/or insurer.

Travel and live automotive events can be affected by circumstances outside our control. If Targa Classica is cancelled, postponed or materially changed, a vehicle becomes unavailable, travel is disrupted, weather affects the itinerary, or another event outside our reasonable control occurs, we may adjust or substitute parts of the experience in accordance with the full Terms & Conditions. Where possible, a reasonably comparable alternative may be provided.
