A British man has been appointed as the new caretaker of an Australian tropical island, a six-month position described as "the best job in the world".
Ben Southall, 34, a charity fundraiser from Petersfield, Hampshire, emerged from among almost 35,000 applicants.
His new job requires Mr Southall to live and report from Hamilton Island, on Queensland's Great Barrier Reef.
The process gave a global profile to Australian tourism, which has gone into decline amid the worldwide recession.
