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)
replies: text: 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)

message: 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?
