wow, im guessin it burnt up alot then, the only thing lately that i know of was a meteor crashing into an island of the coast

I think that if it's big enough, it doesn't matter where it hits. The dust and debris thrown up by the impact will go into the atmosphere and block the sun, causing worldwide repercussions. And there would probably be earthquakes, tsunamis, etc.

WDZ i think ur gettin just a tad dramatic

WDZ is somewhat correct on the  Debris etc , but Australia it getitng here is like  1/100 chances reaching thi for   but again wh0 knows, Australia isnt as small as you might think

true it aint huge, biut if  Boat people can get accross to Australia without being spotted surely something could happen if an Earthquake or whatnot else were to happen could reach to Australia

ofcourse it would affect australia still, when the tsunami hit i was on holidays and a family was taken out to sea where i was staying due to high rising tide (freaky considerin i was there the day before)

true it would of been ;, ur lucky you didnt stay there

true, i left just the day before and i was in the exact same place they were when they were taken out (fishing is hard)

yeah .. well ur lucky, some of us are lucky

was anybody from the forum in the tsunami??

doesnt look like it
