Help Pay My Bills

OK folks, here's your chance to help make me NZ$100 (AUS$8.40). All we have to do is win a contest to create a promotional slogan for Lake Tekapo. Entries are due on the 16th of August, and the winner gets some kind of gift card worth ONE HUNDRED KIWI DOLLARS. This is worth a small number of Australian dollars and, given the woeful purchasing power of the kiwi dollar, will pay for maybe a potato or a sausage or something. But it will also provide glory and self-worth and some meaning to my life.

All we (you) have to do is come up with a slogan of the form:

Lake Tekapo, ________ ________ ________ ________ ________ ________.

Whatever you come up with has to be six words or less, and apparently shorter is better.

Here are a few we've been working on to get you started:

• Lake Tekapo, great in any season. (Thanks Barrett)
• Lake Tekapo, it's pretty... Great!
• Lake Tekapo, boil before drinking.
• Lake Tekapo, better than Lake Wakatipu.
• Lake Tekapo,it's fantastic!

And my favourite,

• Lake Tekapo, great when it's not raining.

In other news, I'm staying in Lake Tekapo township to ski in some new places with some of the Broken River crew, hence the whole Lake Tekapo tourism thing.
