Australia offers 'best job in world' on paradise island

2009-01-13T06:55:00.000-08:00

SYDNEY (AFP) – An Australian state is offering internationally what it calls "the best job in the world" -- earning a top salary for lazing around a beautiful tropical island for six months.

The job pays 150,000 Australian dollars (105,000 US dollars) and includes free airfares from the winner's home country to Hamilton Island on the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland's state government announced on Tuesday.

In return, the "island caretaker" will be expected to stroll the white sands, snorkel the reef, take care of "a few minor tasks" -- and report to a global audience via weekly blogs, photo diaries and video updates.

The successful applicant, who will stay rent-free in a three-bedroom beach home complete with plunge pool and golf buggy, must be a good swimmer, 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 acting state Premier Paul Lucas.

"The fact that they will be paid to explore the islands of the Great Barrier Reef, swim, snorkel and generally live the Queensland lifestyle makes this undoubtedly the best job in the world."

Lucas said the campaign was part of a drive to protect the state's 18 billion Australian dollar a year tourism industry during the tough economic climate caused by the global financial meltdown.

"Traditional tourism advertising just doesn't cut it sometimes and we are thinking outside the box by launching this campaign."

Queensland Tourism Minister Desley Boyle said some people might question whether it was risky to let an unknown person become an unofficial tourism spokesperson for the state.

"I think the biggest risk will be that the successful candidate won't want to go home at the end of the six months," she said.

"This is a legitimate job which is open to anyone and everyone."

Applications are open until February 22. Eleven shortlisted candidates will be flown to Hamilton Island in early May for the final selection process and the six month contract will commence on July 1.

Job-seekers can apply on .

Quote from Gokusen reason why students go to school.

Studying is not for getting good grades, but for training yourself to overcome hardships.
People cannot live alone. Thats why they learn to live with others.
Schools is for you to learn things like that.
Is this relevant in Singapore?

極度の失望

2008-07-27T13:30:00.000-07:00

今日は私のほとんどの1つ長い間失望させる日をである。私の心の多くの事。私はキャンプへ行くことによってそれらを忘れたいと思う。しかし、私はついにそれを得なかった。極度の失望。私に大きい空虚がある。私は親友の会社全員がこれを乗り越えることを今必要とする。私が妨げることを持っているそれらに残念。皆は私に貴重である。希望Iはすぐに回復する。幸せな終りのための希望余りに。これは涼しい。 haha

Chinese New Year

2008-02-08T08:56:00.000-08:00

All my female cousin but im in the background. LOL
Pretty enjoyed my new year this year. Did the usual visits yesterday and watched 2 movies wif my family today. CJ7 and Kung Fu dunk. Honestly speaking Kung Fu dunk was nicer. But Cj7 was touching. I almost tear when zhou xing chi died. =X haizz. Emo sia. Today was quite a pig ,slept till 12 then woke up for lunch. Then got this interesting show on don noe channel 8 or u abt 30 students 31 legs running competition in jap. Its abt 30 students lining up in a row and their legs will be tied to the students beside them. So its 30 students wif 31 legs. In that formation they r to run abt 50 metres together. All r pri sch students btw. Watching all their team work and hard work training together makes me feel very touched. Especially when they put in so much hardwork and in the end failed to reach the top, its really heart breaking looking at them crying that their journey to become the top team in japan has ended. This part really makes me feel like tearing again. Don noe y i felt so much for them also. after this show i went back to slp again b4 waking up in the evening. Oh oh just rmbed 1 thing. The big size girl in Cj7 is super disgusting. She spoiled my show. bleeeeaa. haha
