My Island Caretaker Winner - A Briton!

For details of Ben, please click the link: Islandcaretaker

Taken from his journal as part of the blog task:

Coral absolutely everywhere and in all shapes, sizes and colours with a multitude of fish swimming around them – almost too many to count and understandably so, with 1500 species of fish calling the Great Barrier Reef their home. I’ve dived in some amazing other locations in the world before but the sheer concentration of corals here really blew every other experience out of the water (no pun intended). Stag coral, Finger coral, Brain coral all vying for position, gripping at every available place along the reef looking akin to an underwater forest. I’ve seen the rainforests of central Africa and now I was witnessing the underwater equivalent in Queensland!

My Top 16 Islandcaretakers' Highlights

CONGRATULATIONS TO BEN (UK) AND TO THE REST OF THE FINALISTS!

My Thoughts on Top 16 Finalists Blogs

I CAN'T HELP MYSELF for having a quick post concerning the BLOGS (powered by Tumblr) written by the top 16 finalists as part of the selection process of TQ. Aside from their personal blogs, it is interesting to find out how they embarked on their quest to become the islandcaretaker. Despite the hectic schedule, some of them managed to maintain their personal blogs - trying their best to bring GBR to us - so far but yet so near!
Im providing you the links of the blogs prepared by each of the finalists.

This is not the only criteria for TQ's decision, but personally, the blog somehow shows how effective the "chosen one"to promote this wold heritage to the world. I extracted some interesting phrases from their journals - describing the places they have visited, and the activities they have experienced vying for the islandreefjob!
