I don’t usually consider temp jobs, but….
And the real kicker is that the job duties pretty much amount to being a blogger:
Billing it the “Best Job in the World,” the tourism department in Australia’s Queensland state on Tuesday said it was seeking one lucky person to spend half a year relaxing on Hamilton Island, part of the country’s Whitsunday Islands, while promoting the island on a blog.
The “island caretaker” will be expected to stroll the white sands, soak up the sun, snorkel the reef, “maybe clean the pool” — and report to a global audience via weekly blogs, photo diaries and video updates.
The winner, who will stay rent-free in a multimillion-dollar three-bedroom beach home complete with pool and golf cart, must be an excellent communicator and be able to speak and write in English.
Hmmm. Is there a chance of a term extension?

This would be like a year and a half of the work I do now; in US$ at least. Not so sure about the AUS dollar equivalency. Other than that, I am getting discouraged of my chances based on the fact that I can’t access the site, no matter how powerful my wireless internet is.
