Amazing and very funny, Magnetic Island is also a rumination on art, history and politics as original as it is shocking. Patrick Mynts, the owner of a London art gallery, has arrived in Australia on a government junket. In Australia's National Gallery, he is stunned by the work of an artist called Tray Beautous. As Tray's paintings are unknown in London and New York, Mynts is convinced that he can make a fortune by selling them there. Patrick also meets Dewy Popkiss in Canberra, the Prime Minister of Australia. Dew warns Mynts that only he will be able to arrange for the Londoner to get in touch with Beautous because Tray is a recluse who has hidden himself away on Magnetic Island in remote, tropical North Queensland. Dew will only agree to make the arrangements that will bring the two together, however, if Pat agrees to persuade Tray to paint a married couple of Dew's acquaintance when they are "making the beast with two backs." If Mynts manages to arrange this ménage à trois, Dew promises that the couple who are determined to perform in it will reward him stupendously. Patrick agrees to the deal and goes off to visit an elderly Canberra relative. Suddenly, however, the spirit of Brooklana Fagan - the dead wife of Australia's former Prime Minister - seems to ventriloquise his kinswoman's dementia-muzzled body. "Brookee" tells Pat that the couple whom Dew wants Tray to paint will use the sitting to murder the artist because they feel that one of the sculptures he has created insults the goddess that they worship, Christina Stead, the famous Australian novelist. (In the fashion of deceased Roman Empresses, Christina is now worshipped by millions worldwide). Pat now faces a Hamlet-like dilemma. Should he reject Dewy's commission? Or should he act on it and embrace, perhaps, eternal damnation for accepting the Premier's 30 pieces of silver?

Magnetic Island has probably never quite outlived Captain Cook’s original rather derogatory remarks, made when he first sighted the great hunk of granite-rock and bush sprawled across the mouth of Cleveland Bay. It was June 6th, 1770 when he recorded in his Endeavour journal: “This bay which I named Cleveland Bay appear’d to be about 5 or 6 miles in extent every way; the East point I named Cape Cleveland and the West Magnetical Head or Isle as it had much the appearance of an Island and the Compass would not travis well when near it. They are both tolerable high and so is the Mainland within them and the whole appear’d to have the most ruged, rocky and barrenest Surface of any we have yet seen.” The major part of Magnetic Island is a National Park, controlled by the Queensland National Parks and Wildlife Service. Visitors should recognize that the Island's future well being is very much in their hands, dependent upon their individual caring attitude towards it. The Island also lies wholly within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, and this requires additional care by a visitor while yet enjoying all the environment' has to offer.

Gateway communities that neighbour parks and protected areas are impacted by tourism, while facing unique circumstances related to protected area management. Economic dependency remains a serious challenge for these communities, especially in a climate of neoliberalism, top-down policy environments, and park closures related to environmental degradation or government budgets. The collection of works in this edited book provide bottom-up, informed, and nuanced approaches to tourism management using local experiences from gateway communities and protected areas management emerging from a decade of guidelines, rulemaking, and exclusive decision-making.

Cyan, 16 ans, est le fils d’Artus Fisher, célèbre réalisateur. Il vit en Australie dans la villa de son père en compagnie de Senior, son grand-père, et de Divine, sa grande sœur de 18 ans. La vie de Cyan, en dépit des apparences, est loin d’être idyllique. Sa sœur jumelle, Holly, a disparu sur Magnetic Island alors qu’elle n’avait que 12 ans. Sa mère, France, a quitté son père trois ans auparavant et vit désormais avec son avocat. Senior est devenu un gros consommateur de drogues à la mort de son épouse. Artus n’est jamais là, cela fait cinq ans qu’il essaie de boucler un film pour lequel son studio a déjà dépensé des millions de dollars. Alors, quand Divine disparaît, elle aussi, Cyan décide de tout faire pour la retrouver. Il n’a qu’une crainte, c’est qu’elle subisse le même sort que Holly, dont personne ne parle jamais et dont toutes les photos ont été arrachées des albums de famille. Dans sa quête de la vérité, Cyan découvrira bien des secrets de famille, dont certains, de fil en aiguille, l’orienteront vers la piste de celui qui a enlevé sa sœur. Et c’est lors du dénouement de cet enlèvement que Cyan découvrira notamment l’incroyable secret autour de Holly… À partir de 13 ans.
