Facebooking the Big Trip

Facebook is always asking you to join a group or become a zombie. Isn't it time social networking did something for you?

Ever hip to the zeitgeist, the Lonley Planet page is offering you the chance to win AUD$5,000 in travel or a 'crapload of LP books' for a 500 word piece about your dream trip. That would be roughly $10 a word, which is a pretty good rate. All the winning entries will be published in a mini-book released through STA Travel stores.

All the details are here and if you want to find out what happens if a dog eats your entry then check the conditions here. Oh and you have to be a Facebook member - they'll get you one way or another...
