Inside the Journey of the Australian Entrepreneur

Building a New Model for Island Investment in Vanuatu

In recent months, interest has grown around Justine Lynne Murray, an Australian entrepreneur whose name has become linked to a wave of boutique developments and sustainable farming projects on Aore Island and Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu.

Public records and project filings show Murray as the founder of Aore Real Estate and Phoenix Plantation, ventures positioned around responsible land use and local employment. Both enterprises emphasise transparent leasing structures, small-scale agriculture, and community engagement rather than large resort models that have dominated the Pacific for decades.


Before moving to Vanuatu, Murray worked in media, international recruitment, and private staffing for UHNW families across Europe, Monaco, and the Middle East. She was part of the early Australian production of House Hunters International and later appeared in its 2024 “Island Princess” episode, filmed on Aore Island, documenting her relocation and farm launch.

Murray’s agricultural work now includes vanilla, cocoa, and pepper cultivation under the Phoenix Plantation name  a project she established in memory of her late son. The plantation serves as both a working farm and a training hub for local families learning value-add farming techniques.


Her Australian company, The Australian Nanny Agency, continues to operate nationally, providing qualified childcare staff to families and corporations. In interviews on ABC Radio National, she has discussed ethical recruitment and the need for clearer industry regulation  topics that helped shape her later focus on transparent employment in the Pacific.


A Wikipedia biography for Murray is current, consolidating independent citations from ABC, the Vanuatu Government, and regional media. The wiki reflects a career that bridges two industries rarely connected  private service management and ethical island development.
