10 hours ago

SYDNEY (AFP) — Huge global interest in "the best job in the world" -- earning good money for lazing on a paradise island -- has crashed the Australian website where it is advertised, according to officials.

"We've been inundated, with around 300,000 people visiting the site yesterday," said a spokeswoman for the Queensland state government, which is offering the six-month post of "island caretaker".

"The website crashed -- in one hour alone 25,000 people were trying to visit -- but we're working on it and it should be up and running again later today," Nicole McNaughton told AFP.

Surely this job could be filled with one of the many unemployed in Aus and there was no real need to get the hopes up of the many around the globe lol

I am sure it was more of a PR means rather than really looking for someone to fill the post. But I'd say they reached the target ;o)
