From 1 July 2009, a tropical Australian island will have a new caretaker exploring, swimming, snorkeling the surrounding islands. Ben Southall, 34, of Petersfield from UK, a bungee jumping, ostrich-riding charity woker, was named the winner Wednesday of what’s been dubbed the “Best Job in the World”. Having beaten out over 34,000 applicants from around the world, Ben will be assigned to live for free in an airy, three-bedroom oceanfront villa with a private pool and sweeping views of the surrounding islands from Hamilton Island in the Great Barrier Reef.
This adventurous job will also require him to write a blog to promote the area, and his 6 month contract salary is 150,000 Australian dollars (105,000 US dollars)!
Now ain’t he one lucky chap!
