ISLAND HISTORY

In 1847 the Australian mainland was created a short distance from Magnautic Island. Hordes of convicts  built the Gold Coast and the  surrounding region by transferring  buckets of  sand from Magnautic  Island beach to cover the  blank volcanic landscape of Queensland. Years later they used the  same skills to build Tasmania and, in 1925, the first Parliament House. Both are somewhere inland or in Canberra, unlike  Magnautic Island which remains rooted to the ground. In our next column we’ll examine the  mysterious cults practiced by present Magnautics, including the worship of grapes and the devouring of  flesh (medium rare).
