    Hi Ben,
    I applied for your job last year and I was already there in my head but was unsuccessful! Im so happy for you that you got it and are doing it so well. Looks like they got the right man for the job :) I am a 28 year old girl from Ireland and having visited Australia for 18 months I fell in love with everything that is Australia…Diving, exploring, travelling etc. It has left me with a hunger for adventure and I would love to join you on your dream. I am currently studying BA in Photographic Media and it would be my dream come true to bring my camera and writing skills to join you.
    Good work man,

    Hello! I’m Jerry I’m 25 and female. I am so perfect for the job! I have been a lifeguard, a Dj and an Events Organiser. I love nature and wildlife and I even worked for Conservation Volunteers Australia on a conservation project. I’m friendly, healthy, enthusiastic. I have a HND in Events Management, but it is so impossible to survive in Uk at the mo, I’m struggeling to pay my rent and its snowing! This job would change my life and i’d bring good vibes, good company, and hard work to the island. I’d love to work with Turtles. It really looks so cool and i would be honnored to be given the oportunity to come and get involved! Please consider me… I am the one! I really hope to hear from you… lots of love..

    Hi there,

    My woman just bailed on me one month ago. Guess she thinks the grass is greener on the other side. Would be a real kicker to be able to send her an “eat this” postcard from the Great Barrier Reef :) Oh, I do have a master’s degree in computer science, but I sure hope there aren’t any computers around on those islands :)

    Cheers,

    Peter
