No wonder they are calling this the best job in the world. Getting paid $100k to kick back in Australia and blog about the reef? Wow. FYI, they are still taking applications until Feb. 22nd.

Desperate to snag what's being billed as the "Best Job in the World," thousands of people from around the globe have submitted video applications to the tourism department of Australia's Queensland state for their latest advertised vacancy - a US$100,000 contract to relax on Hamilton Island in the Great Barrier Reef for six months while writing a blog to promote the island.
