When I first heard of the island reef job in early Jan, my first thought was that this was a marketing gimmick; and nothing more. The website reported that the responsibilities included feeding fish in the Great Barrier Reef; trying out the luxuries of a spa; snorkeling and diving; and writing a weekly report on the findings of interest along the Reef.

I mean.. WoW!

And then when I was lazing through the newspaper while having coffee this morning, I read a news item that the job is now closed. I also come to know that a Bangalore RJ was among the finalists; but an ostrich-rider from England beat him to it!

Congratulations to Ben! He has been appointed for The Best job in the World!
