The Best Job in the World (advertising)

In 2009, Tourism Queensland promoted the Great Barrier Reef as a global tourism destination with a website encouraging people worldwide to apply for The Best Job In The World, to be a "Caretaker of the Islands" to "house-sit" the islands of the Great Barrier Reef for half a year, based on Hamilton Island. The winner was Ben Southall, who beat over 34,000 candidates. Provided by Wikipedia
