$400,000 + three months holidays a year post on an island in New Zealand. Nobody wants it due to lack of infrastructure. I'd snap it up in a second. Great access to Asia for a single man.

“I love my work and I would like to stay but I hit my head against a brick wall trying to attract doctors,” Kenny told the Herald.

Reynolds said contributing factors to the rural GP shortage were isolation, lack of schooling options and social activities, and poor access to broadband networks.
