Original research removed

Below removed. Seems like a made-up on the internet type of distinction. Australia itself is not an Island.

Cape Barren Island has the distinction of being the largest island of the largest island (Flinders Island) of the largest island (Tasmania) of the largest island (Australia). Format (talk) 08:10, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Palawa name?

It would be lovely to have a Palawa (Indigenous Tasmanian) name for Cape Barren Island - in fact if one existed I would like to see the "official" name for the the Island changed to match! One doubts very much that such a name exists, however, as the Bass Strait Islands did not support indigenous populations "pre-invasion" - in fact no-one lived there, and indigenous Tasmanians lacked the seafaring ability to visit it. In particular, the name supplied closely resembles "Trowenna", which, we are told, is the original name for Tasmania itself. REALLY need a source for this one, as I think we'd all love this to be factual! --Soundofmusicals (talk) 22:30, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

O.K. - point taken that the local community want to use that name - rather a shame, as I'd like to see the name for Tasmania (which is what I still understand it to be) to one day apply to the whole state - seems a shame to waste it. --Soundofmusicals (talk) 20:51, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
