Forbes died in 1990 and is buried on the island. More than a decade later, co-founder of Red Bull energy drink and billionaire Dietrich Mateschitz swooped in; it took him and his team three years to conceptualise the current resort and another two to build it, with attention given to keeping as much of the 1400 hectares as close to their natural state as possible (rumour has it that Mateschitz forbids staff from cutting down trees on the island). The property finally opened in 2008, with trimmings so lavish that during my stay I find it hard to pick my jaw up off the ground; the 18-hole David McLay Kidd-designed golf course is maintained to PGA standards – not an easy feat on a tropical island. There are some 10 different types of boats available, including a classic yacht and a game fishing vessel; you can snorkel, dive and horse-ride; and there are trails for mountain biking and hiking. It’s extravagant, yet remarkably understated; it’s the epitome of luxury, yet bare feet and a sarong seem to be the standard dress code. Indeed, many guests check in and never leave their villas. And while staying put has a certain appeal, it would be a shame not to explore the island’s hinterland. It’s here that I find farms, orchards and gardens so elaborate they’re able to support more than 80 per cent of the island’s food needs, in keeping with the resort’s “locavore” philosophy: celebrating local produce. Everything from the smoked salmon and cured meats to the jams and pickles are island-sourced and produced – even the drinking water, filtered through volcanic rock, comes from subterranean wells. Mateschitz’s locavore vision saw huge farms built on the east coast of the island, now home to ISLAND IDEALS different breeds of cattle (including wagyu), goats, plump pigs and A small Fijian island is raising the bar not just wild chickens (known as jungle murghi).

It is stage one of the development for the Paddock to Plate exhibition to open at Orange Regional Museum in April 2008. It is primarily written for the development team in the next stage who will go on to prepare the exhibition. The guiding question, therefore, is: what will they need out of this document? So this document tells the historical story of food and wine structured by 15 key themes, and addresses the myriad of components in creating an exhibition through the identification of key story elements, and potential people profiles, objects, films and photographs that could be used in the exhibition. The visitor Writing this report, I have also kept in mind that the very end user of all this information will be the museum visitor. All exhibition development starts and ends with the visitor. It is their experience and their need, which structure the actual end outcome: the exhibition. So in writing this document, as that stage one, I have always held in mind who the visitor is and what we know about their needs, and how they use exhibition spaces.

  • Central Queensland University Donna Lee Brien the Rise
    Brien The rise and fall of MasterChef magazine Central Queensland University Donna Lee Brien The rise and fall of MasterChef magazine: An object biography Abstract: One of the most high-profile recent entrants into the competitive and lucrative field of Australian special interest magazines was MasterChef magazine, which ran from May 2010 until November 2012. MasterChef magazine was a component of a self- referential group of media products that spun off the eponymously-named television series in Australia which, premiering in 2009, itself developed from a suite of British television programs and associated media that has been expanding and morphing since 1990. This article presents a biographical history of MasterChef magazine, focusing on an account of the magazine’s genesis, development, growth and demise. It offers a preliminary survey of its covers, content and writers, and begins to outline its relationship to a range of other MasterChef related media, with particular reference to other publications. It also describes the role MasterChef magazine plays in the highly branded contemporary culinary media environment and suggests areas for future research. Biographical note: Donna Lee Brien is the inaugural Professor of Creative Industries at Central Queensland University, Australia. Founding Editor of dotlit: the online journal of creative writing, Assistant Editor of Imago: new writing and Associate Editor of New writing: international journal for the practice and theory of creative writing, Donna is currently Commissioning Editor, Special Issues, TEXT: journal of writing and writing courses, and on the editorial and advisory boards of a number of journals. Donna is widely published in a number of areas of non-fiction writing and writing praxis, and has been researching and publishing about food writers and their influence since 2006.
