SYDNEY (AFP) – An Australian state is offering internationally what it calls "the best job in the world" -- earning a top salary for lazing around a beautiful tropical island for six months.

The job pays 150,000 Australian dollars (105,000 US dollars) and includes free airfares from the winner's home country to Hamilton Island on the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland's state government announced on Tuesday.

In return, the "island caretaker" will be expected to stroll the white sands, snorkel the reef, take care of "a few minor tasks" -- and report to a global audience via weekly blogs, photo diaries and video updates.

The successful applicant, who will stay rent-free in a three-bedroom beach home complete with plunge pool and golf buggy, must be a good swimmer, excellent communicator and be able to speak and write English.

"They'll also have to talk to media from time to time about what they're doing so they can't be too shy and they'll have to love the sea, the sun, the outdoors," said acting state Premier Paul Lucas.

"The fact that they will be paid to explore the islands of the Great Barrier Reef, swim, snorkel and generally live the Queensland lifestyle makes this undoubtedly the best job in the world."

Don't worry, no one can get onto this site. With an offer like this, once news got out the servers were flooded with so much internet traffic it probably freaked out the web-server hosting the site.

Don't stop trying though!

Sounds a dream job alright

Australia has some of the worst internet connectivity in the developed world, or at least the most over-regulated. Even the fast connections are often capped, some as low as 2GB/month. The Australian government is also trying to push through mandatory filtering which, luckily, the ISPs are trying to fight. If the main cities are as bad as they are I can only imagine you would have a lot of problems on an island off of the great barrier reef.
