The Winner of the Best Job in the World
Do you remember this contest buzzing in all medias several months ago ? You could get the Best Job in the World : all you had to do was to become the Caretaker of tiny islands along the shores of the Queensland Area, in North-West Australia.
The job was paid some US $ 111.000 (about € 83.000) for six months. It consisted mainly in exploring the islands of the area and reporting to a blog. Ben Southal, the winner, has been elected out of 34.000 applicants from the whole world.
Ben started his best job of the world on the 1st of July 2009 and is living his last days in paradise. But is it really a paradise ? Not so sure since Ben has recently been stung by a tiny jellyfish along the Hamilton Island shore and it almost cost his life.
