Looking back well into the past I can’t find any other time when Australia had four persons at 111.00 plus.

But the best ever top four appears likely to have been on 30 May 2001, as follows.

Christina Cock.  113-156

Beatrice Mears.  113-87

Molly Yeomans.   112-333

Jessie Hurley.      110-349

Sadly Molly Yeomans passed away that day.

So the top 4 ended 16 days short of achieving all members at 111.00 plus.

It's already November 20th in Australia, so we could have 5 people aged 111 or older if Gizella Simon's birthday is confirmed.

Certainly a very good period for Oceanian supercentenarians (12 living SCs, two of them above 112). I wish good health for them and many more birthdays.

For the first time, there are 5,111+ people on this list.
