As the weather headlines from around the world hit the news with tales of floods, humungous snow storms, travel delays and Eurostar blockages I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas from here on Hamilton Island as we bask in the glorious summer weather of Queensland! Goodness that almost sounded horribly smug didn’t it, sorry.

Santa has been already – in fact this year I helped him to deliver his presents but we left the reindeer at home as you can see from the photo below:

After what has been a truly amazing 2009 working in the Islands of the Great Barrier Reef as the Island Caretaker, next year looks to be equally as exciting and challenging as I promote this great state around the world and also try and get further under the skin of Queensland.

The ISLANDREEFJOB.COM website will continue to be updated to cover these travels so stay tuned in!

Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year from Ben, Bre and my Mum & Dad
