Best Job won by British Man

Ben Southall (L) of Britain and James Hill of Australia


A British citizen charity worker was announced as the winner of what's been called as "Best Job in The World" — to takecare of a tropical Island of Australia under the contract of 6 months for 150,000 Australian dollar ($111,000).

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.

Southall will live for free in an airy, three-bedroom oceanfront villa with a private pool and sweeping views of the surrounding islands.
