i would never be able to do something like this, let alone at the age of 16!!


I''ll be the first to admit that i did not think she would make it, but i am glad that she did and i am soo so proud of her right now, and proud to be an Australian too.

I saw the story on Good Morning America earlier. What an accomplishment!

I read this on yahoo today, good for her! How scary that must have been for her, not to mention her parents!

What a little trooper! There''s absolutely no way I''d have the skills or stamina to do something as monumental as that.

I was very unimpressed when she was given so much grief last year -- seems like the same people who were criticizing her for being a "stupid little girl" are now the ones standing at the Harbour with smiles and waves. Good for her for putting them in their places.
