Following my first blog yesterday and having committed myself to finding something enthralling for you every day, I now find my perfect job being advertised. So…………….if I go missing!

If a tropical island just off the coast of Queensland, with an average temperature of 25 degrees sounds just the job, some-ones in for a treat.

The trouble is, apart from living completely rent-free in a villa with amazing view and a plunge pool to yourself, you have to do boring things like swimming in clear blue seas, with miles of sandy beaches, snorkelling, diving and sailing. You have to work a whole 12 hours a month, feeding the hundreds of species of fish and picking up the mail for the island. It’s tough – but some-one has to do it.

The “caretaker” will be doing all this hard work to attract tourists to the islands of the Great Barrier Reef and in addition to visiting some of them, they need to provide a blog, a photo diary and update videos to show how wonderful it all is.

The pay’s not too bad, either. How does 70,000 pounds sterling sound, for the six month period?

The trouble is, there could be some tough competition – the job’s being advertised world-wide, so don’t hold your breath! You have until 22 February to apply so prepare to join the stampede.
