The other day I was preparing lunch with Ely, when we saw this advertising on TV: Tourism Queensland (Australia) is looking for a Caretaker of the Islands of the Great Barrier Reef. For just a few minor tasks that need to be taken care of and the duty to report to Tourism Queensland (and the world) what’s taking place on the Islands of the Great Barrier Reef through a weekly updated blog with photos and videos, you can live in a earthly paradise on the Whitsunday Islands for 6 months with a friend or a family member. And if just having this great opportunity wasn't enough, you would also be paid AUS$ 150,000.00 (something like 75.000,00 €) for the job! Isn't it fantastic?!?!?
Everybody is eligible for this job. It's enough to record a video of presentation (maximum 1 min. long!) and then 11 candidates will be picked and asked to fly to Australia for a real interview. Only 1 out of 11 will be the lucky Great Barrier Reef Caretaker.
I figure it out that not everybody can decide to leave everything (job, family, etc...) for 6 months, but Ely and I are thinking to apply for this job. For sure the application process is a funny thing to do together (prepare the video, record it...and so on!) and for sure being picked among hundreds of thousands of applications ain't easy, but it worths the pain to try. And after all, it's nice to dream for such an exotic escape!
Some years ago I was on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and I have fantastic memories of that holiday. It was quite an experience that I hope I will be able to do it again with Ely. I loved tropical Queensland, the beautiful heavenly islands of the Great Barrier Reef, jumping from the boat and snorkeling over the clear water watching the colorful fishes and enjoying empty white coral beaches with spectacular views of the ocean and the reef.
Here are some of my photos (not digital at that time!)
