A few fellow hopefuls
Tens of thousands of people have applied for the Hamilton Island job, and I've seen only a fraction of them, but I thought I'd point out some of my favourites so far.
Anny is a friendly, sharp marketing expert from Vancouver, and has a great blog sharing her experiences and tips for fellow applicants.
Tom from Germany already runs his own travel video company, and has shot terrific footage from around the world, including on the Whitsundays.
Frooz is a gorgeous sweetie from NYC whose laid-back video shows off her bubbling personality much better than my breathless and unsmiling non-stop ramble. She has an Australian Cattle Dog who has never seen Oz, she keeps fish, and she has a degree in filmmaking from UCLA.
Hannah has a clever video where she advertises herself like a creature from the wild being described by a naturist - the "Hannimal", she calls herself. She has experience in conservation and web marketing.
James is a walking lesson in awesomeness. Check out his blog, a much more well-thought-out affair than this little Blogspot effort. He has HD videos on there, posters to market his candidacy, he's been all around the world, he's a fantastic photographer and video editor, and seems like a bloody nice guy. (Also thanks to him, btw, I've also found a ning group where applicants can advertise themselves past the confines of the 60-second video and network with each other!)
I'll keep looking for more good candidates, because there's some inspiring ones out there. People like this make the world a better place, folks.

Blue Planet Aquarium Video
As promised, a video of our local aquarium. Sorry about the muffled sound, was having gadget troubles and had to speak too close to the microphone. Enjoy the fish!
