Michael & others... Tourism Queensland has "the best job in the world" for you...

You probably heard all about this in the Australian media...

I think a few of us from around the world will be Appying for this little baby too! And just 12 hours a month...

A $150,000 ($103,000, £70,000) for six months and get to live rent-free in a three-bedroom villa, complete with pool...

I wonder if we can Market and spin this Tourism idea into other locations & business ideas world-wide... Definitely interesting...

Phil,

Thanks for mentioning this.

*I* haven't heard jack about it. We have odd media here. They'll show some Idiot protesting the appearance of a female Jewish tennis player at a tournament, asking her to pull out because of the Gaza thing. But we won't hear anything of the internet censorship - or this.

The Whitsunday Island Chain is Fantastic. It's a gorgeous place. It is Warm all year round. The water is Clear - great for diving or snorkeling. And is a tourist Mecca. Airlie beach is generally the jump off point for the islands, though Hamilton has its own airstrip.

The most well known islands are Hamilton, Daydream, South Mole, Lindeman, Brampton and Hayman Island (one of the leading hotels of the world - expensive as, but man oh man, a pleasure to stay at). Further north - much further - we have Dunk Island who has a yearly Fishing Classic.

If you get the chance to come down to this Country, make time to visit the Whitsunday's. You will not be disappointed.

Just heard on the radio late yesterday afternoon... this job has had 2,000 applications so far, with applicants sending one minute videos of themselves. Some are funny. Some begging.

Michael,

Thanks for the update...

With a little more reading on this whole buzz of an opportunity, I'm starting to think that this position Is... Was already filled from the getgo...

Could this just be a well thought out Tourism marketing media campaign to increase interest and spending to this particular destination...

You just never know these days, what the power and exposure of the internet can do for those brainstorming sessions and business...

Phil

The idea is definitely working...
