"G'day Mates...."


The campaign for "Best job in the world" as launched by Tourism Queensland in Australia has had a mixed bag of results..

Brit Ben Southall landed the six month job as caretaker of Hamilton Island with a huge salary in what became a media frenzy last year..

But it is not all good news for Tourism Queensland. Despite the fact that they believe they were in receipt of the equivalent of $390 million in global publicity for their investment of only $2.5 million, they still saw tourist numbers drop by 8%...

So, with Ben's tenure coming to an end on Hamilton Island, will Tourism Queensland kill off the position or look for another caretaker (shall I get my bags).....
