SYDNEY (AFP) - - Huge global interest in "the best job in the world" -- earning good money for lazing on a paradise island
The job pays 150,000 Australian dollars (about 100,000 US dollars)(about S$20,000k per month) and includes free airfares from the successful candidate's home country to tropical Hamilton Island on the famed Great Barrier Reef.
In return, the winner will be expected to have as much fun as he or she can -- soaking up the sun, swimming, snorkelling, sailing -- and report to a global audience via weekly blogs, photo diaries and video updates.
The successful candidate -- who will stay rent-free in a multi-million-dollar three-bedroom beach home -- must be over 18, a "fantastic and charismatic" communicator, and able to speak and write English.
And they are at pains to stress that it is "a real job".
The successful applicant will "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."
"The applicants so far have ranged from a Swiss horsewoman to a sun-seeking teenager from England to 'Richard' from the UK who can be seen swimming with the fish in his application," she said.
Applications are open until February 22. Eleven shortlisted candidates will be flown to Hamilton Island in early May for the final selection process and the six-month contract will commence on July 1.
