TO BUILD A NEW SOCIETY.—Mr and Mrs Jeffrey Forse, leaders of 22 young English adventurers who hope to establish a Utopian society on an island off the Queensland coast. This photograph was taken on their recent arrival in Sydney from London. The group has tentatively decided to buy Percy Island (seven square miles), in the Great Barrier Reef. According to Mr Forse, the proposed bland settlement would be run along the lines of early Christian communities. Life would be a simplified existence, with freedom of worship, no monetary system, and emphasis on the freedom of the individual.
