Travel inspiration now arrives instantly, amplified by social media and global demand. From Santorini to Maria Island, places are being asked to carry more than they were ever designed for. The Islander Way exists because we are choosing to act early, welcoming visitors while protecting place, community, and the future we share.

You may have noticed our gorgeous feedback postcards popping up around the Island lately - at the Airport, Bowmans, Walkers, at the Council office, or handed over with a friendly smile.

They’re designed especially for visitors and include a QR code linking to a quick 2-minute survey.

A Year in Review from the Furneaux Collective

As the year comes to an end and the Island eases into summer, we wanted to take a moment to say thank you and reflect on what has been a big and meaningful year for the Furneaux Collective.

What truly sets this visit apart is the care taken to craft a day that is low-impact, locally hosted, and deeply connected to place. The visit directly supports local businesses, venues, and community hosts.

The Furneaux Collective is delighted to announce the addition of four new committee members following the recent Annual General Meeting.

The Furneaux Collective was honoured to receive the 'Event Extraordinaire Award' sponsored by Events Tasmania for the Furneaux Futures Forum.
