Back in January I wrote about a tourism contest for The Islands of the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland, Australia. The lucky winner would become “The Caretaker of the Islands of the Great Barrier Reef” (actual job title). Job responsibilities would include blogging about your experiences as you take in all that this beautiful island has to offer. And you’d get paid $100,000 for six months work ($150,000 AUD). Pretty sweet if you ask me.

Well after a long selection process (and competition) they have finally selected a winner.

Ben Southall of Britain now gets to spend six months (starting July 1st) in paradise. Lucky guy.

If I had only applied…
