damn… why wasn’t this posted back when we could have applied?

@King_Groovy: That’s exactly what I was thinking. So I may have to reschedule my wedding if I got the job. But you know what, I could just point to the AUD$150k and be like, “I have one hundred and fifty thousand reasons on why it’s okay.”

Just get married while you have the job.

Evidently this is an authentic job offer…

@Kurtt: seriously… there’s nothing in my life that can’t be put on hold for 6 months

If it’s so awesome what’s with the aggressive advertising and large salary? It would be like the NFL advertising for those guys who hold the first down markers.

whats the catch? 150k for 6 months? tanstaafl.

The only catch was you had to blog/vlog about it. That was it. It actually was the greatest job in the world. You basically GOT an island for 6 months.

No it is real, they want a journalist type to blog and report on island life, how cool the Great Barrier Reefs are, etc.

There was a huge amount of interest and applications… they have narrowed it down to 16 currently.
