Minder Wanted For Island Paradise

Australia (http://uk.news.yahoo.com/fc/australia-new-zealand.html) is advertising the perfect job for someone who wants to take a break from the credit crunch - a six-month sabbatical on a tropical island.

The lucky person who lands the job will also stay in a three-bedroom villa, set on a shady hill overlooking the sea. Their 'chores' will include feeding turtles, watching whales and collecting the post.

He or she will not need qualifications. although they will have to be a good swimmer, and enjoy snorkelling and scuba diving.
Computer skills would be handy too - a weekly online blog, photo diary and video updates are also part of the job description.
The boss of Queensland Tourism, Anthony Hayes, says the idea behind the offer is to promote the island globally.
