Challenging interview
Ben Southall, 34, beat out nearly 35,000 applicants from around the world for the dream assignment to swim, explore and relax on Hamilton Island in the Great Barrier Reef for six months while writing a blog to promote the area.
He was selected by officials from the tourism department of Queensland state. Southall and 15 other finalists spent the past four days for an extended interview process, which required applicants to snorkel through crystalline waters, gorge themselves at a beach-side barbecue and relax at a spa. The finalists also had to demonstrate their blogging abilities, take swimming tests and sit through in-person interviews.
Ben's love for adventure
The job is to publicize the Great Barrier Reef.
Ben's luxury villa
In his application video, Southall expressed a love for adventure, and featured photographs of himself riding an ostrich, running a marathon, trekking through Africa and kissing a giraffe.
The job is part of a AU$1.7 million tourism campaign to publicize the charms of northeastern Queensland, and officials say it has already generated more than AU$100 million worth of publicity for the region.
Southall will live for free in an airy, three-bedroom oceanfront villa with a private pool and sweeping views of the surrounding islands.

Read what the three people say about their jobs.
I' m lucky enough to call myself the “Guardian of the Pine Tree”! I work on Mount Huangshan in Anhui Province, which is home to the famous Welcoming-Guest Pine. I make sure that nothing harms the tree. I check it several times a day and take notes recording my observations. I occasionally feel lonely, but overall, it's a hugely rewarding job.
My name's Li Wei, but I'm also known as the “Panda Nanny of Wolong”. As you can probably guess, I take care of the pandas living in Sichuan's Wolong National Nature Reserve. As well as looking after these incredible animals, I talk to visitors and post updates on social media. I hope that one day, more people can join me in taking care of the pandas.
Read what the three people say about their jobs.
When people ask me what I do, I tell them that I'm a “spiderman”. For me, a day at work involves climbing up and down the cliffs of Mount Yuntai's Red Stone Gorge. With a rope tied around my waist, I clear rubbish left by tourists. The job isn't without its risks, but I enjoy it. I'm very proud that I can help conserve the environment.
