Talk:Flinders Island

Untitled
As per Talk:Flinders Island (disambiguation), I have moved the Tasmanian Flinders Island to the Flinders Island name. -- Chuq 07:09, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Farming & Aboriginal settlement
Farming and fishing are the most signficant activities on the island, more information on both would be good to have.

The aboriginal settlement and chapel at Wybalenna has great cultural and historic significance link --Peter Campbell 05:48, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Climbing link
This link was just removed from the article with and edit stating it was linkspam:

Killiecrankie climbing Images and guides to rock climbing on granite sea cliffs near Mt Killiecrankie in the North of Flinders Island.

I have looked at it and don't think it is. I have climbed on Flinders Island and think this is valuable non-commercial information. Steve Craddock was one of the pioneers of climbing on the island. I think the link should remain. Other opinions? --Peter Campbell 11:55, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
 * The link to the site, hosted at http://www.stevecraddock.id.au, was added by a user named User:Pscraddock. User:Pscraddock has only made seven edits, four of which were adding links to this site.  I think it was clearly added for self-promotion.  Links don't necessarily need to be commercial to be deemed as link spam.  It might be useful information, but it's not generally relevant to an article about Flinders Island as a whole.    -- Chuq 12:16, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Fauna
Does anyone know if there are any kangaroos, dingos or tasmanian devils on the island? TeePee-20.7 (talk) 12:23, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

The last full-blood Tasmanian Aborigine
The article references: Oyster Cove Station ... where Truganini, the last full-blood Tasmanian Aborigine, died in 1876[dubious – discuss]. I added the word 'Tasmanian', also the name and link to Truganini, to clarify the claim and the person it refers to, and added the 'dubious' template to that claim. Others claim that Fanny Cochrane Smith, who died in 1905, was the last full-blood Tasmanian Aborigine. The Wikpedia article on Fanny names her parents as: 'Tanganutura and Nicermenic, ... two of the Tasmanian aborigines settled on Flinders Island in the 1830s ... '. I know of no evidence that either of these were not of full Tasmanian blood. Further, the same article states: Following the death of Truganini in 1876, Fanny laid claim to be "the last Tasmanian". The government of the Colony of Tasmania recognised this claim in 1889 and granted her 300 acres (120 ha) of land and increased her annuity to £50.

Right now, I'm uncertain which of the two women (if either) was the last full-blood Tasmanian Aborigine. Does anybody have relevant evidence to enable us to determine this issue convincingly?
