The remarkable history of Elysian , a secluded island retreat on Australia's famous Great Barrier Reef. This is an entertaining and inspiring story of conviction, commitment, and serendipity, in which - after many shattered dreams, millions of dollars, and decades of hard work by hundreds of people - an unlikely dream finally becomes reality.
