An updated post from The Newcastle RSL Pipe Band who was engaged to perform at the 109th birthday celebration of  Dorothy Vine,  states she was born April 16.

"On the 16th of April 1915, nine days before the Anzacs landed at Gallipoli, a baby girl named Dorothy came into the world. Yesterday, Dorothy Vine celebrated her 109th birthday a few days early with a High Tea Birthday Party at her home at the Bupa Aged Care facility in Waratah.
We surprised the party revellers with a few tunes and a rendition of Happy Birthday. Juanita the Lifestyle and Community coordinator has reported that the folks are still talking about the band this morning.
Happy Birthday Dorothy Vine."

There is a Dorothy May Bucknell who was born in Fiji  to Edith Maud nee Bishop & Charles Julian Bucknell on April 16 1915
 
Confirmation pending

Many thanks for the update Ale.

This means that Aileen Karrs of New Zealand (born 12 September 1913) is now the oldest person in Australasia/ Oceania.

Australia's OLP title has lately stagnated at age 111, with the last six supercentenarians to hold that title passing away at that age

This number increases to seven with the discovery of Olga Abate's death at the age of 111.

The italian team solved Abate's case: Olga Domenica Creosina vid. Abate was verified as born on 20 May 1913 in San Lorenzo, Reggio Calabria, Calabria Region, Italy and passed away on 5 June 2024 in Melbourne, Australia, aged 111 years and 16 days. She really was the Doyenne of Australia at the time of her death. She will be validated, hopefully, by ESO and LQ.

Topic updated.

With the ESO validation of Olga Abate this gives the 5 SC's from the class of 1913 full validation.

The other two years where there have been 5 ( 1901-1906) still have one outstanding each.

@filipe93 Is Dorothy Vine the oldest known person born in Fiji? I haven't looked particularly hard, but I haven't found anyone older

1. He's Australian
2. Why the question mark on his year of birth?

Victoria has three representatives in the top 10 for the first time since Marija Ruljancich on 18 May
