"(CNN) -- Sixteen applicants arrived in Hamilton Island on Sunday for the final interviews to pick a caretaker for the tropical paradise in Queensland, Australia.
A television presenter from New Zealand and a charity fundraiser from England were among the finalists for the position, dubbed the "best job in the world." They were picked from a pool of more than 34,000 applicants from across the world.
The six-month caretaker will be paid $100,000 and is required to feed the fish, clean the pool and send weekly blog and video reports on what is happening on the island."
