Apparently we are.

After the Beaconsfield "Miner Miracle" and Mr. Hall over there at Everest, we have a new contender:

Half an hour ago, when I last looked at that link on www.news.com.au, I thought, "How long will it be until they're saying she might be still alive?" Not long, apparently.

Supplement:

With all the international posters on this forum, I'd better make sure this doesn't look like more Australian horn-tooting. We are also accident-prone cockroaches who could probably survive a nuclear bomb.

Invincible until someone like Martin Bryant turns up...

Mr Casson · 29-05-2006, 12:45 AM

They were mostly Tasmanian.

In that tele-movie On the Beach, we were the last to die after the nuclear fallout. Ahh we are a resiliant bunch.

Telemovies - second only to the Bible when it comes to influences on my life.

What number am I?

Smudge · 29-05-2006, 01:10 AM

I only have so many fingers and toes, Cass.

And no, I don't have as many as a Tasmanian...
