For My Job-Hunting Friends...
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 airfare 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.

There's a job for me....well, if I could snorkle. What a job that is, huh? $105,000 for a year of being a beach bum? Wonder what the drawbacks are? There have to be drawbacks or they'd not be advertising it internationally.
My total guess here is...do you see a store? It's a sanctuary, so technically you're not supposed to bring much by way of organics with you. Can you catch and eat fish for 6 months? lmao

Considering how inconsistent Bon Jovi has been about touring there over the last decade, not sure I could take this job. ;-)
BUT ... perhaps if Jon needed a somewhere to escape to, I'd be happy to be his "caretaker."
He may need a place like this after the fc show when his house in NJ and the Soho place will probably be staked out by crazed fans.
What about those of us that have a job - man I'd be perfect for this one. lol Thanks Hath :)
