Say ALOHA!...to Australia?
Some people have trouble holding the responsibility of taking care of a pet, but have you ever imagined taking care of an island? Queensland, Australia, home to the Islands of the Great Barrier Reef held a competition in 2009 to gain publicity for their islands.The prize: become caretaker of the islands which is what one lucky man from the UK named Ben Southall had the pleasure of winning. His job entails checking up on the islands, diving in the Great Barrier Reef, hiking through the rain forests, feeding the fish, and many other amazingly cool things. Very few things are actually considered work because the main purpose of the job is to report back to Tourism Queensland and let the world know whats taking place on the Islands of the Great Barrier Reef. So, he gets to explore the islands and have the time of his life. I would give anything to work at a job in such a beautiful place as Australia. I've included a link to Ben's blog if you are interested in what kind of adventures and things he's done as island caretaker in Queensland: http://islandreefjob.com.au/
