23 Britons are in the running for the ‘best jobs in the world’ after making through to the next stage of a competition run by Tourism Australia.
They are among 150 candidates from 35 countries still in contention for six tourism-related jobs across Australia, including a wildlife caretaker in South Australia and a park ranger in Queensland.
Tourism Australia’s managing director Andrew McEvoy said the response from the UK had been "huge".
"Tourism Australia’s ‘best jobs in the world’ competition has clearly struck a chord with Brits, and I know there are some fantastic entries from the UK in the mix.
"Now it’s time for the short listed contestants to show the UK public what they’re made of. We’re looking for great storytellers, someone adventurous, inspiring – a person eager to jump into the role and soak up all Australia has to offer," said Andrew.
Applications for the global competition closed on 10 April with more than 600,000 expressions of interest submitted by close to 350,000 people from 196 different countries.
Applicants were asked to complete a 30 second video explaining why they should get the job.
