100k to live on an island?! Sign me up!


From the National Post:

"The Australian state of Queensland has launched a global search for candidates for "the best job in the world" -- earning $150,000A ($122,000) for lazing around Hamilton Island on the Great Barrier Reef, pictured. In return, the "island caretaker" will be expected to stroll the white sands, soak up the sun, snorkel the reef, "maybe clean the pool" and report to a global audience via weekly blogs, photo diaries and video updates. The winner must be an excellent communicator and be able to speak and write English. "They'll also have to talk to media from time to time about what they're doing so they can't be too shy and they'll have to love the sea, the sun, the outdoors," said Paul Lucas, the acting state Premier. Anyone interested should go to islandreefjob.com."
