Best job in the world?

Tourist officials in Australia are looking for somebody to look after a desert island.

They are willing to pay £70,000 ($103,700) for someone to work 12 hours a month for six months while carrying out such duties as feeding turtles, watching whales and picking up the island’s post.

No academic qualifications are needed, but good swimming skills and a love of snorkelling, scuba diving and other water sports are a must.

A passion for the great outdoors and the ability to speak English are also considered to be an advantage.

The successful candidate will have to demonstrate an ‘adventurous attitude’ coupled with a ‘willingness to try new things’.

They will live rent-free on Hamilton Island (population 5,000), the ‘jewel in the crown’ of the Whitsunday Islands off the Queensland coast, and also look after some neighbouring islands.
