An adventure-seeking woman has told how she lived for free on a 'heavenly' island off the coast of Australia - only working 24 hours a week.

Sirirat Nensewicz, 27, stayed on the 18-acre Pumpkin Island in the Great Barrier off the coast of Queensland for two months.

She would only work 24 hours a week, cleaning, gardening, and bar-tending around the island's eco-resort in return for free accommodation.

Sirirat says she spent the rest of her time "laying in a hammock and swimming" on the island which has pristine beaches and amazing marine wildlife.

The solo traveller said she would spend AU$400 (£200) a month - only forking out for her groceries and phone bill.
