Anyone seen this? "Caretaker" on Hamilton Island, Great Barrier Reef, for six months. Basically you'll be doing a blog about the place from the Queensland Tourist Board. Duration, six months, salary, a whopping A$150,000 (about £70K). I'm actually tempted.

rather go to sydney :)

Sydney is one of the most overrated cities in the world. Its very pretty, but apart from NYE and Australia Day its fucking dull. Everyone's in bed by 10.30! Melbourne is boring to look at but much more lively. Its the same with all these really pretty cities; Vancouver and San Francisco are dull as well. The best cities are gritty and grimy. The biggest irony is that the grimiest bit of Sydney is in the wrong place; the hellhole that is Bondi Beach...

So you know what? I'd rather be on the Barrier Reef thanks.

Aye. Melbourne > Sidney

Hamilton Island is fooking gorgeous, went camping there. Just watch out for the dingos!

Was in the pre-digital camera days that I was there though so can't show any pics.

fucking sweet. though they do make out you'll be lounging about doing nothing all day long. I somewhat think that won't be the case :)

If you're talking about the one in Scotland, you'll find it's baltic and full of neanderthals :).

Perth Australia?

From the bbc....

The new recruit will work for just 12 hours a month. Duties include feeding some of the hundreds of species of fish and collecting the island's mail.

damn, 12hrs a month work, there's always a catch :(
