Latitude 40: Stories from the Edge: Flinders Island, Tasmania

Latitude 40 is a podcast from the Furneaux Collective, sharing conversations from Flinders Island at 40 degrees south. Through honest dialogue and local voices, the podcast explores what it means to live, lead and belong on a small island community navigating change.

Born from the Islander Way regenerative tourism journey, Latitude 40 has grown into something more — a space where community members reflect on leadership, resilience, enterprise, inclusion and the evolving relationship between people, place and visitors.

Each episode captures lived experience. Real conversations about how a remote island community shapes its own future — socially, economically and environmentally.
