SYDNEY, Australia - Position: Island caretaker. Duties: Lazing around Australia's Great Barrier Reef for six months. Salary: 150,000 Australian dollars ($100,000).

It sounds too good to be true, but it’s for real. Billing it the “Best Job in the World,” Australian tourism officials say they are seeking one lucky person to spend six months relaxing on Hamilton Island, part of the country's Whitsunday Islands, while promoting the destination on a blog.

Totally incorrect. The whitsundays are Australias Hawaii. Hamiliton island (where the job is based) is the most exclusive of the lot, its packed full of 5 star hotels and has an international airport. You are certainly not going to be living is some uninhabited remote outpost.
