For
some time now it has been whispered that the Arcadia Hotel
on Magnetic Island is about to be sold . Recently , people who
rent space at the hotel
to sell fine Indonesian and
Thai tucker several nights a week were given a month’s notice . The latest word is
that
there is a potential
buyer who sees the
popular two outlets as competition
for the hotel’s own bistro. Who , islanders asked, could the
buyer be? One comedian suggested it
is Clive Palmer , who will open a large Chinese restaurant .
