British Man Begins Aussie Island Dream Job
Ben Southall To Serve As Tropic Reef's AmbassadorBRISBANE, Australia -- Briton Ben Southall said he'll miss his mom's Sunday roast as he began what's been dubbed the "Best Job in the World" -- a six-month contract to serve as caretaker of a tropical Australian island.
The 34-year-old former charity worker bested nearly 35,000 applicants from around the world for the dream assignment that started Wednesday to swim, explore and relax on Hamilton Island in the Great Barrier Reef while writing a blog to promote the area.
He was selected for the 150,000 Australian dollar ($120,000) gig by officials from the tourism department of Queensland state in early May.
Take it, Benny...
