The Tourism Queensland actually offered an employment opportunity to one lucky person who would prove eligible enough for the best job in the world with a salary package of AUD$ 150,000 for a 6-month contract with them.

The Best Job in the World finally has its man. The Tourism Queensland had decided that from all the finalists it was Brit Ben Southall who fitted the brief the best and therefore he is the winner.

Ben had beaten other 15 finalists who were picked from over 34,000 applicants around the world.

As the ad for the job said, he will be the caretaker for the Great Barrier Reef and he will be living in a cottage on the Hamilton Island and he will be exploring all the 1,500 different reefs and islands on the region and blog about his experiences regularly. Also, he would be paid 150,000 Australian dollars for his 6-month work.

It is indeed the best job in the world. Not only does he get an amazing paycheck but it’s a very enjoyable and exciting job that anyone would really dream of. He and the other 15 finalists had to stay on the island and answer a series of interviews. They were also asked to snorkel and swim to see if they are really eligible for the best job spot. They also had to demonstrate their abilities to blog about their experiences.

The Best Job in the World ad is really a publicity concept by the Tourism Queensland so they could showcase the Great Barrier Reef as much as possible. So far it’s a great success and Ben hopes that he could do his job well.

First of all, you have to go to the Sydney Opera House. This is, by far, the easiest building to pick out in all of Sydney. Not only is the building a great tourist attraction for this area, but they have amazing performing art shows as well. From there, you could head over to the Sydney Aquarium.

The reason why this is a “must see” in Sydney is because of the great underwater exploration walk they have. This is one of the only ways you are going to be able to walk under the ocean and take a look at sea life firsthand.

Of course, that is not all there is to see in Sydney. In fact, from there most people head toward the Sydney Tower. This amazing tower is the highest point in all of Sydney. Here you can get a breathtaking 360 degree view of the whole city! From up there you can see all the major places in Sydney, including the Sydney Opera House, which looks amazing from the tower.

If you like a little fun in the sun, then head over to Bondi Beach. This is, by far, the most popular beach in Sydney. The water here is crystal clear and well worth a looksee. Bondi Beach really is the best place to soak up a little sun in Sydney.

There are lots of places to go and things to do when you plan for a trip in Australia. Wouldn’t you want to snorkel on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef? There are cruises and tours for tourists like you so you could greatly enjoy this beautiful and large reef with a wide array of fish and crystal clear water.

Other great destinations in Australia include Blue Mountains, Fraser Island, Kakadu national Park, Kangaroo Island, Uluru and Purnululu National Park. You’ll enjoy nature at its full glory while visiting these destinations. Aside from these, you’ll enjoy Australia’s great outdoors and their nice beaches too. Of course, traveling to Australia is not just about nature-tripping. You can have fun with their different types of entertainment and fine delicacies as well. There are so many things to do in Australia that summing them up is just impossible! Visit Australia and truly experience the life in the Land Down Under.

The winner will be swimming, enjoying the lifestyle in Queensland and from time to time snorkel. A small task of blogging, taking photos and videoblogging will also be required from time to time. For six months, you’ll practically become a beach bum with a six-digit salary.

This latest stint of the tourism industry hopes to attract young individuals who wanted to experience and represent the beauty of Australia. They are particularly looking for someone who can communicate with the world and have that charisma to draw tourists to the beautiful islands of Australia.

Six applicants will be selected from the online application website. The winner will start experiencing the “best job in the world” on the 1st for July. So if you don’t have plans for the second half of the year, consider this job in Australia.

First, try to lose some weight if you are overweight. In an interesting move, many of the world’s top flight carriers are now charging people based on their weight. This might cause an outcry on the part of many people in the world, but the fact of the matter is that it is such an amazingly logical move that it is surprising the airlines have not done it before now. If you have weight problems, you can turn this supposed outrage into an opportunity and use it as an incentive to get into shape. Doing so will not only make you feel better and allow you to do more on your vacation, it will also ensure that you pay less money for the flight.

Another way to do it is to attempt a bargained discount. You can only really do this if you fly regularly and have some rapport with your carrier, otherwise you will need to look at other ideas for help. If you have a regular rapport with your airliner however, you can attempt to negotiate for a lower rate on the demand that you will go elsewhere if you don’t get it. Companies are hesitant to lose good customers, so take advantage of that fact if you are a good customer.
