In 2025, Bay & Beyond Studio produced a terrific short doco called ‘Coochiemudlo Story’, included in this article. The video features three of the island’s keenest researchers and knowledge-holders: John Pearn, Jan Macintyre, and Christine Leonard.

Christine Leonard’s new book started out as a straightforward biography of Edward Field Jones, an amateur historian who lived on Coochiemudlo Island for 47 years. Although the man and his work is central to the story, Coochiemudlo is as much a character in this tale as the intriguing Ted Jones — as he was known by everyone on the island.

Every year on the first Saturday in May, World Labyrithn Day is celebrated around a world when thousands of people, across many countries, participate in a moving meditation for world peace. The concept involves creating a rolling wave of peaceful energy through the meditation, from one time zone to the next.

Coochiemudlo Island will experience its event for the first time in May 2025!
