Dover couple Cath and Sam Alwan couldn't believe their luck when John Mason International Movers called to tell them that they had won the company's Australia Day competition - a pair of tickets to Australia!

John Mason this year put together a quirky Crocodile Dundee tribute video celebrating Australia Day, which caught Cath's eye as she browsed her social media. When she saw there was a chance to win a trip Down Under, she thought she'd give it a go.

Cath and Sam had been planning to visit her brother and his wife in Perth this year as she and Sam are celebrating their ruby wedding anniversary and her brother Paul and his wife Denise are celebrating their golden anniversary. However unexpected expenses meant that their plans had to be shelved. But now they can resume their plans. Indeed, when Cath took the call from the company, she didn't believe the news at first saying, "I never win anything! Are you sure?"

Simon Hood, Sales and Marketing Director John Mason said, "It was one of the best phone calls we've ever made, Cath's joy and excitement at the forthcoming trip are infectious and we can't wait to hear all about it.”

After being assured she really had won, Cath was overwhelmed with excitement and is now planning her family’s double celebration. "I can't wait to tell everyone,” said Cath. “I don't usually enter competitions and never win, but I am so happy that I entered this one.”
