Tourism on the Great Barrier Reef

Tourism on the Great Barrier Reef

It’s not just me. The papers are starting to cry “foul” over the Queensland Tourism Board’s shortlisting of bikini-licious applicants for the alleged, “Best Job in the World” contest. Today’s Sydney Morning Herald published this story, entitled, “World’s best job: only bikini babes need apply.” Because this is a job, not a competition, disgruntled applicants with more delectable grey cells than curves may just have a case.

I’m sure if they told the shortlisted contestants – oops – I mean – applicants, about marine stingers, crocs and snakes (not to mention those deadly coconuts which tend to drop from their ten-metre tethers onto the snoozing heads of tourists within skull-splitting range), they may have to replace the short-list with a more informed group of applicants. I wonder how this will turn out…
