Default Any Aussies about?

Does anyone know any people in Australia with the surname Neill, Hurley or O'Riordan?
My family are researching our family tree and a line of the Neill's moved to the Sydney area just after WWII

If it is any help there is a site someplace which gives the names of people who emigrated and which ship and where they landed---------not a lot of good,but someplace to start

This might sound false but I was over in Oz back in 1990, watching the highlights of the England V Cameroon game on the Tv in the morning, when two girls sat down eitherside of me.
One asked if I was British... "Yes" was the answer.
then the other asked if I knew a place called Millom. "yes" was the answer.
Then the other Asked "Did I used to work in the Station Hotel".........

"Yes... Why..?" I said...

"Your Auntie Jackie said If we saw you in Oz that she's says Hi."...
small world...

There was a great beer ad in Canada some years back. Annoying American girl chatting up a Canadian guy at a party and babbling on and on. She asks "Oh you're Canadian. Do you know Dave from Toronto?" to which he replies "Yeah... he died." and walks away. I've been aching for the chance to try that one out ever since.

Yep, I know it's a very very long shot. Still might as well try.
