Best. Job. Ever.

A little while ago I wrote about my secret dream job of being a game show host. But I'm trading that job for a waaayy better dream job.

A tourism business in Australia has just opened a position titled "The Caretaker of the Islands of the Great Barrier Reef". and the job is even better than it sounds. For six months your responsibilities are:

Explore and report back
There’s so much to see and do, so you’ll have plenty to write about in your weekly blog. And with so much life above and below the water, you’re sure to capture some entertaining moments for your video diary and photo gallery. To keep you busy, Tourism Queensland will organise a schedule of travel and events on the Islands of the Great Barrier Reef. Your schedule could include sampling a new luxury spa treatment at qualia on Hamilton Island, trying out new snorkelling gear on Heron Island, or bushwalking on Hinchinbrook Island.

Feed the fish
There are over 1,500 species of fish living in the Great Barrier Reef. Don’t worry – you won’t need to feed them all.

Clean the pool
The pool has an automatic filter, but if you happen to see a stray leaf floating on the surface it’s a great excuse to dive in and enjoy a few laps.

Collect the mail
You’ll have some time on your hands, so why not join the aerial postal service for a day? It’s a great opportunity to get a bird’s eye view of the reef and islands.


Did I mention that you get to live on an island and they pay you $103,000 ($150, 000 australian dollars)? This is the best job that a person could ever have. ever.

If I didn't have the responsibilities of a family at home I would be all over this. If anyone is interested you can apply at www.islandreefjob.com (submitted by 60 second video)
