Where is the section The island is widely visited by high-school students during their spring vacation. The most popular souvenir, mainly purchased by girls, is a T-shirt proclaiming "I got wrecked on Keppel Island" from? Vacation is an American term, and the Spring holiday period is only 1-2 weeks in September\October. The Christmas holidays are the longest so it is more probable that the majority of visits occur in that period. As for the t-shirt, who would sell that? Is there a clothing store hidden somewhere on the island?

I agree with you about the strange use of the term "spring vacation". But I would assume the T-shirts are available at the resort (currently being redeveloped and probably available on the mainland too or by daytrip operators etc. But I agree it needs a citation.Kerry (talk) 06:29, 24 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Is GKI redevelopment coming back? edit

Sydney Morning Herald is reporting on plans (hopes?) for new capital raise and new tech resurrecting Great Keppel Island. SMH report of a GKI resurrection. A$300 million being raised?; starting Sep 2018. Many regulatory approvals from the Aus gvmt already in place. Cheers. N2e (talk) 14:10, 4 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

There is this October 2018 news story about a Super Rich Asian Couple going to buy the island including spending $400M on the resort. But I don't think that is a done deal yet, so from a Wikipedia perspective, I think it's all WP:CRYSTAL at this stage. Kerry (talk) 20:25, 24 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
