Tourism Australia's exceptionally popular 'Best Jobs in the World' competition has reportedly been inundated with applications, and none more so from Brits.
It's not hard to see why spending six months as Sydney's chief funster, or Western Australian taste master would appeal to anyone, but the fact that it's still snowing in the UK is an obvious added incentive.
Tourism Australia announced recently that they would be re-launching its Best Jobs in the World campaign, but this time with six jobs:
-
Lifestyle Photographer in Melbourne
-
Outback Adventurer in the Northern Territory
-
Park Ranger in Queensland
-
Taste Master in West Australia
-
Wildlife Caretaker in South Australia
-
Chief Funster in Sydney
Each 'employee' will be given a 6 month contract and paid around £67,000 for their 'troubles'.
To apply, each applicant must submit a short video of themselves explaining which job they want and why they deserve the position. So far Tourism Australia has reportedly received over 300,000 applications, with over 75,000 from the UK alone.
"The huge response to the 'Best Jobs' recruitment drive and the increasing demand for working holiday visas shows that young Brits are looking to live the Aussie lifestyle, swapping the challenging economic environment here for a new adventure Down Under," said Tourism Australia's UK-based manager Rodney Harrex.
