Orange bellied parrot?
Reefer,

Just down the gym, but I have a good question I discovered while lookin for the last answer. Back after dinner!
OK, bit like the last question, except that there are only 17 mad people who have done this.
A hint - it is an achievement of athletic endurance.

Would it be the number of Australians that have successfully climbed My Everest?
Swam the English Channel.
Neither of those two, but good guesses. It was in Australia, in different places and times, and by a combination of Australians and overseas types.
Crossed the Simpson desert on foot?

circumnavigated the Country on foot?
Well, I suppose that RJ gets it. According to Wikipedia, a total of 17 people have ran across or around Australia. Somewhat more have walked it. But some of the runners have done it in amazing times.
