Ben Southall, the bungee-jumping, ostrich-riding British charity worker, has won the 'best job in the world' - as a 'caretaker' for a string of sun-kissed islands along Australia's famous Great Barrier Reef.

Ben, 34, was picked from 16 finalists in a contest by Tourism Queensland which attracted nearly 34,700 video entries from almost 200 countries.

The job description? Explore the islands of the Great Barrier Reef for six months and report back to Tourism Queensland and the world via blogs, a photo diary, video updates and interviews.

He will start work on July 1, living rent-free in the £2million villa on Hamilton Island, 590 miles north of Brisbane and one of the main holiday spots on the Reef.
