(Video) Ben Southall, the Briton who beat out 34,000 other applicants for what Australia’s Queensland Tourism described as the “best job in the world”, is ending the six-month stint with a nasty jellyfish sting. Southall is not complaining, though, since the sting could well have been deadly: two tourists died from them in 2002. He’s now stepping off the island for a bit to promote Queensland around the world.
