Melbourne, Apr 3 : India's Anjaan RJ has made it to the list of top 16 candidates for Queensland island's `best job in the world'.

Anjaan from Bangalore will fly down to Hamilton Island along with 15 other candidates on May 3 for final selection.

Queensland Tourism Minister Peter Lawlor telephoned 15 finalists across the globe to tell them inform them about the selection, reports The Daily Telegraph.

A wildcard entry Claire Wang from Taiwan had already been selected for the finals.

The finalists were selected from 50 short-listed candidates.

The job was a Tourism Australia campaign to boost the floundering tourist market, and it attracted applications from more than 200 countries.

The six-month stint will require the successful applicant to explore neighbouring islands, swim, snorkel, discover wildlife, and the locals on a 150,000 dollars contract. (ANI)
