Season 2 of Latitude 40 continues the Islander Way journey, and the conversation is evolving.
It is about the everyday decisions, big and small, that shape life on a remote island.
These conversations are becoming a living record of our community speaking for itself — sharing ideas, challenges and aspirations in our own voices.
From 4–7 May, practitioners, thinkers, community builders and curious people from across Australia and beyond will gather on Flinders Island for Portals to Place – a conference exploring regenerative tourism, community-led development and the future of place-based economies.
We’re working hard to welcome visitors in a way that stays true to island values. That means tourism that gives back, supports local livelihoods and protects the environment that makes this place so special.

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.
