From above: "Bud Tingwell (92) - Brilliant Australian Actor, but getting on a bit though."

He's only 86. Spring chicken.

G'Day all.

Just replying to the accusation the Bud Tingwell is only 86. I Have a link here that claims his year of birth is 1917.
Why are you calling me "Spring Chicken"?

Also we MUST include Rose Porteous-Hancock (61) - Australia's answer to Anna Nicole-Smith but no-where near as attractive as Smith was. She NEEDS to be included on the list as she appears to be ill and the list would be incomplete without her anyway.

I cannot remember where the link I had was for him being 86. I think 86 is correct. I was calling him a spring chicken, namely young compared to 92. Jeanette Howard ought to be considered too.

No idea what your second sentence means. Please improve spelling, grammar and punctuation next time. However, if you think I am just being a "name dropper", no, that is not the case at all. The list is excessive, I will admit, but they are all famous Aussies. Part A is mainly old ones and in, Part B, well, wild guesses are what make Death List more fun.

The list will be more manageable once a few of the oldies drop off. I am leaving it in the hands of the regular posters here, not guests like you and I.

Hmmm, "like you and I"? Please improve grammar next time.

Australian cyclist, Jobie Dajka, a world champion, found dead at age of 27. Not on the list above.

She brought her daughter up by sticking her fingers down a Dingo's throat.



Coats on!

Maybe a dingo will eat her. It could run in the family. The Chamberlains might just be plain dingo-delicious.

What about that looney Tasmanian bloke who shot all those people and was into beastiality ?


Ha - security code is boasting names, which seems to be what'shappening in this thread

The Tasmanian mass murderer was Martin Bryant. Not worth mentioning - I was hesitant to put Ivan Milat on the list, as their type don't deserve the publicity. Bryant wasn't into bestiality, as far as I am aware.

To Body Snatcher, thanks for past suggestions! "Rose Hancock = Anna Nicole Smith" made me laugh. It is probably very true.


Anyway, that is all from me, as I have said twice already. This time I really do mean it. I have a trip to go on over Easter and I will refrain from posting in the future. I am just going to sit back and see who dies...


Hope this list leaves you all with a really good start with regards to potential Aussie deaths.


Cheers.

Isadora Duncan, a scarf and a Bugatti: Ingredients for the best death ever!

Bryant has attempted suicide on numerous occasions though so he's as good a choice as any. I also read somewhere he liked beastilaity porn, not that that is relevant as to whether he might die.

On the subject of Australian Killers, what's the likelihood that Catherine Birnie will follow her husbands example and off herself in prison?

Sorry that killers don't interest you, GM but they are among us and they do tend to get publicity when they die.

I would have thought Sir Charles Mackerras worthy of a mention, very much an Aussie despite having been born in New York. Still very active at the ripe old age of 83 - maybe he should start taking it easy!

Macka is "absolutely delighted" to be appreciated by Auntie.

[Typhoid Harry]

Our Oz guesty really should register, seriously the most worthwhile visitor in ages. I'll be back down for Sydney Hobart on Boxing day this year, perhaps we cold get drunk? Brisbane is a trek from there, though.

George Tribe dead at 88

"He was the 11th oldest Test cricketer and second oldest Australian."

[VSBfromH]

The Aussies are really starting to get in on the act, as usual:

Mezzo Margreta Elkins has died aged 78.

There are many Australians older than 88. Maybe only one Test cricketer though.

I thought exactly that as I copied the quote. Maybe you should vent your pedantry at cricinfo...

[Ra Ra Rasputin]

Film director and former AFL-er, Robert Dickson killed in a car crash. Not on the list either, but then again car crashes are difficult to predict unless you're Prince Philip or a member of MI6. Allegedly. Aussie obit here. Unlikey to get a UK obit though.

Didn't know Amphlett had MS...

I'm pretty certain the only reason she even announced her illness was because there were rumours she was back on the sauce. Apparently she has mild damage from MS, but (according to her website) it isn't currently active. Probably going to be around for a whole lot longer, but MS is an uncertain disease.

Other Australians you could add to the list of potentials:

Alf Howard, sole remaining member of Mawson's Antarctic trip in 1920s. He's over 100.
Sir Marcus Loane, former Archbishop of Sydney, aged about 96
Greg Page, Wiggle with health issues
Doug Anthony, former Deputy PM
Lady Sonia McMahon, had a recent tumble
Brian Burke, former WA Premier (or am I just hopeful putting him on this list)
Kel Nagle, golfer in late 80s
Sara Douglass, author

As predicted just one week ago... Archbishop Sir Marcus Loane died today aged in fact 97.

Good shout AC/DU, but he'd never have passed the DL fame test.

Most colonials don't, sadly.
