Had to post about “The Best Job in the World”.  Australia’s tourism board has come up with a great schema to get tourists to talk about and more importantly visit the country’s beautiful islands.  The idea is to offer a job to anybody (over the age of 18) who can island sit for 6 months.  The job pays 105,000 and all expenses are covered by the tourism board.  Plus, anybody can apply for the position if they send in a video clip and fill out the application form.  The only responsibility you have is to clean a pool occasionally, and communicate with the mainland as this will draw attention in a reality show type of way to the islands and Australia’s overall tourism.

I decided to create some icons of a few of the more traveled countries.  You can download them here.
I’ve been using them as folder icons for my pictures of the corresponding country.  I’ll be making more general travel icons in the future, and I will add more countries.  It takes a little while to create them.

Ran across justwandering.org, a blog about wandering through the Philippines, Asia and Austrailia today. Actually, it’s got much better content than what the tagline says. I particularly like the cooking section. Nina, the blogs author has a lot of categories and has obviously put a lot of time in this, so check it out. A quality useful real travel blog for a change.
