Tourism officials in Australia are describing it as "the best job in the world".
They want someone to work on a tropical island off the Queensland coast.
No formal qualifications are needed but candidates must be willing to swim, snorkel, dive and sail.
In return, the successful applicant will receive a salary of A$150,000 ($103,000, £70,000) for six months and get to live rent-free in a three-bedroom villa, complete with pool.

Anthony Hayes, Chief Executive, Tourism Queensland, said: "It doesn't sound too bad does it? We are looking for someone to tell the stories of the Great Barrier Reef and we have come up with what we think is the dream job."
The post is being advertised as "caretaker" on Hamilton Island in Australia's Whitsunday Islands.
The new recruit will work for just 12 hours a month. Duties include feeding some of the hundreds of species of fish and collecting the island's mail.

And an immaculate chorus of angels sang out as the periodicals descended from the heavens surrounded by a halo of white light.

What they didn't mention is, that the island serves as a homosexual temptation island and that the job-function is including several blow jobs a day. :)

Both :)

There has to be a catch, there's always a catch.

I could almost live with that.

This sounds like a great job for someone who is morbidly obese. Secluded location, lots of fresh air and exercise. All one would need is an expertly controlled diet and one would be all set. Afterall, one can't exactly order a pizza can one?

Goodbye NSG, I've unfortunately had to take a job in the South Pacific near Australia and will be gone for at least six months. It was nice chatting with you all and I've met some real characters but bright blue water and sunny skies await me elsewhere. Ciao.
