As the Credit Crunch hits the UK (and everywhere else), you can escape the effects and enjoy the sun, with what is dubbed the The Best Job in the World – in Australia.
Australia is advertising the perfect job for someone who wants to take a break from the credit crunch – a six-month sabbatical on a tropical island.
And best of all, says the Queensland Tourist Board, there is absolutely no catch.
The authorities are looking for a caretaker for Hamilton Island, which has year-round sunshine, sandy beaches, warm lagoons and sea life galore.
Free return flights, transfers, expenses and transport are included in the deal, not to mention pay of just under £6,000 a month. The lucky person who lands the job will also stay in a three-bedroom villa, set on a shady hill overlooking the sea.
