Dream job?
It's being billed as "the best job in the world" - six months working as a "caretaker" on Hamilton Island in Australia's Great Barrier Reef.
To good to be true!??!? Well perhaps, the job seems to be as stated with some additional perks - pay packet of nearly £70,000 and a rent-free three-bedroom villa, complete with pool.
All this for you and all you have to do in return is take photos and write a blog.
Still sounds TOO good to be true; well the old adage you never know till you try certainly applies here.
So what happens next?? The job is being advertised in 18 different countries you can be sure that at the very least 1,000 people are going to apply from each country (given the current economic situation I would multiply that figure by 5 at least), so that's 18,000 applicants for 11 positions!!
So how do you make your video stand out from the crowd; well at this point I leave you to your own devices, as I intend to explore this opportunity further.
I will let you know how I get on of course.
Before you go, throw another shrimp on the barby would ya!

While on the subject of interesting jobs...
How would you like to be paid €60,000 euros to go into isolation with 12 others for 17 months?!!?!
The European Space agency are looking for volunteers to spend 500 days in an isolation chamber to simulate a trip to Mars, to study the effect the boredom of it would have on people...

€60,000 does sound tempting, but i know i definitely wouldn't be able to hack that long with so little to do - heck i get bored if i have two nights at home in a row!
Though might get my book written if i did.... hmmm
