Impact of landslides in Australia to December 2011

This paper is an update to Michael-Leiba (1999) Impact of landslides in Australia to June 1999 published in the Australian Journal of Emergency Management in 1999. Most of the information comes from the Geoscience Australia Australian landslide database, which contains references to the source literature. Because landslide information is gleaned from written reports (often in the media) or personal observations, and landslides are not recorded instrumentally like earthquakes, the landslide database is incomplete. Information from the public to improve the database is welcome.
