Not to mention Mark Gaynor, Jeremy Malcolm, and ISTR someone with an
address @golden.wattle.id.au (Mike?).  I got mine about a month before
arbitrary .id.au domains were opened up and you still needed to select
from various Australian flora or fauna[1] to have tacked before your
domain - mine's patrick.wattle.id.au which is a bit (well, a lot) of a
mounthful but is at least likely to be a valid domain under my control
for the forseeable future.  And wattle.id.au's are free ("bring your own
hosting") :-)

Cheers,

Cameron.

dropbear.id.au addresses around the place.
