Silly Aussies seek to pay someone 100k to live on the beach and blog about it for 6 months. Um, I think I might be able to clear my schedule!

From MSNBC.com...

Position: Island caretaker. Duties: Lazing around Australia's Great Barrier Reef for six months. Salary: 150,000 Australian dollars ($100,000).

It sounds too good to be true, but it’s for real. Billing it the “Best Job in the World,” Australian tourism officials say they are seeking one lucky person to spend six months relaxing on Hamilton Island, part of the country's Whitsunday Islands, while promoting the destination on a blog.

In exchange for the plush salary, free accommodation in an oceanfront villa and airfare from the winner's home country, the employee will be required to stroll the island's white sand beaches, snorkel, maybe take a dip in the pool — and post photos and videos of his or her experiences on a weekly blog.

As of late Tuesday, at least 200,000 people logged onto the Web site to check out the listing, Boyle said. Only about 200 video applications had been submitted, but officials said they expect thousands more.


Okay, listen up Australian tourism officials, because I'm just gonna go ahead and throw this out there and be done with it...I will suck off anything with a penis for this gig. Fat dude. Kangaroo. Whatever. Email me.

You're going to have to show your blowjob technique on camera to apply.

(Seriously, why do you have to send video and not something else? My camera was just sent in for repairs.)

Me, I wouldn't want to live there for 6 months. The islands are in the state of Queensland, a state somewhat like Florida - too hot, full of tourists, cyclones and deadly wildlife.

As an aussie I can reconfirm rosy glow's statement. while the whitsundays are stunning, and hamilton island is lovely (stayed there last year) queensland itself is full of the australian equivalent of rednecks. plus, it is tropical, sticky kind of place. and sort of less cultured. with lots of spiders.

come to sydney!!!!! you can stay with me :)

Throw a little Raising Cane's sauce on it. Everything's better with Cane's sauce.

Full of rednecks, sticky, lots of spiders...sounds like Holly Beach. I'm not sure $100K would be enough to endure 6 months of that kind of hell. I suppose you could stay drunk....
