    Abstract

    This thesis (exegesis and creative work, a memoir) draws on my experience of establishing a floatplane business with my husband Paul on Magnetic Island within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. It describes events prior to and including an Administrative Appeals Tribunal hearing in 2007 on the legality of the floatplane operations within the Marine Park. The study provides new information about the composition of tourism communities in Australia, causes of conflicts and resolution processes.

    Curtin would like to pay respect to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members of our community by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which the Perth campus is located, the Whadjuk people of the Nyungar Nation; and on our Kalgoorlie campus, the Wongutha people of the North-Eastern Goldfields.
