Rich with Kids Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 The Best Job in the World Billing it the "Best Job in the World," the tourism department in Australia's Queensland state on Tuesday said it was seeking one lucky person to spend half a year relaxing on Hamilton Island, part of the country's Whitsunday Islands, while promoting the island on a blog. This is so tempting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Heather Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I saw that the other day! Very tempting when it's freezing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm Bay Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 No--I'm not good in all that tropical sun at all. Not to mention that my dh and dc need me here. But it does sound like a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I would if they took a group application. :D They seriously should take a homeschooling family, that would be wonderful experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamnkats Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 If this is serious, and my current offer falls though, I'm going to look very closely into this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie_0801 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Uh, have you guys seen the weather up there lately? I'll bet they need to kick start their tourist industry... Rosie- who's been told that Hamilton Island is not nearly as nice as Green Island, but hasn't been to either herself :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I would if they took a group application. :D They seriously should take a homeschooling family, that would be wonderful experience.

Gretchen in NJ Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I would if they took a group application. :D They seriously should take a homeschooling family, that would be wonderful experience. I was think the same thing. What a great learning experience for the children. dd11 tried to talk her father into applying for the job.:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurel Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I would if they took a group application. :D They seriously should take a homeschooling family, that would be wonderful experience. I think I read on the site that the house provided would be large enough for a family (and that they would be open to the employee bringing his/her family along). A homeschooling family would be great for them - they could have adults' and children's perspectives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamela H in Texas Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 hmmm, hubby is losing his job in June; the 11 finalists get to go to Australia in May. The timing might be perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
