Picture this: You and a mate. A campervan. Six weeks to explore an Australian state, make a mini-documentary about it and go in the running for a $10,000 prize.

Sound good?

World Nomads are putting on an awesome competition for seven pairs of keen adventurers to win themselves an Aussie roadtrip. Each of the seven pairs will be flown over to Australia, given the keys of a campervan, $1000 worth of petrol and free access to some top Australian attractions.

That's where the second stage of the competition kicks in. With digital video camera and laptop on hand, the seven teams will be tasked with the challenge of making a mini-documentary about their trip. The team that makes the best documentary stands to win $10,000, as well as two Virgin Blue domestic flights. That six week holiday could easily turn into 6-month trek around Australia - all at someone else's expense.
