Chance to win view of spiders
To celebrate the arrival of 12 exotic tarantulas, Peninsula News is giving away two family passes to visit the new additions at the Australian Reptile Park in Somersby.
Each family pass includes entry for two adults and two children, and is valued at $64.
The reptile park is the only zoo in NSW that holds exotic tarantulas on display and the last shipment received was almost 10 years ago.
To add to the park's already impressive collection, 12 exotic tarantulas including Salmon Pink tarantulas, King Baboon, Peruvian Pink Toes and Goliath Bird Eaters have called the reptile park home since September 23.
The Goliath Bird Eating Spider is generally recognised as the largest species of spider in the world.
The female can attain a leg span over 30 centimetres, weigh in excess of 200 grams and have fangs 2.5 centimetres long.
To enter, simply write your full name, address and phone number on the back of an envelope and send to: Peninsula News, Australian Reptile Park Competition, PO Box 1056, Gosford NSW 2250 before 5pm on Thursday, October 7.
