Remote Australian town looking for doctor offers $400,000 salary, free rent

A remote Australian town that will soon lose its only doctor is offering a salary of up to 680,000 Australian dollars, or $428,000, to attract a new candidate. 

The remote Queensland town of Julia Creek, population 500, is also offering free rent and a car. The pay is about double what a family physician would earn in the state's capital, Brisbane. 

The catch is that the closest major city, Townsville, is a seven-hour drive. Brisbane is over 17 hours away. Prospective applicants must also embrace searing heat and tropical insects.
