'The Greatest Job in the World'

Former British charity worker Ben Southall has just finished working in the 'World's Best Job'.

Ben Southall was the envy of many around the world after beating 34, 000 other applicants to become the caretaker of Hamilton Island in the Great Barrier Reef, Australia.

The six month posting, created by the Queensland Tourist board, included a generous salary and a beach side mansion with a private pool and hours of endless sunshine.

Lucy spoke to Ben on his last night on the Island, and he said the hardest thing was leaving behind the home he'd come to love.
