"Early on, we joked about being able to do a global campaign on a classifieds budget - well that's pretty much what happened. The fact that this was being picked up and run as news on CNN and BBC World - you just can't buy that sort of publicity" she said.

Tourism Queensland admitted it has kicked in an extra "two or three-hundred thousand" for media management since applications closed in January, but estimates put the value of the return at about $110 million.

That figure is expected to grow by a further $30 million dollars by weeks' end, when the island caretaker position will no longer be vacant.
