Hi Laurie,
An Australasian list of sorts does exist.
There is a ranking of birders on Surfbirds for the Australasian life
list. The definition given is "The continental regions, including
offshore waters and islands out to 200 nautical miles, or half the
distance to a nearby continent with the
Australasia Region including Halmehera and the Moluccan rslands, New
Guinea (with Waigeo, Biak, Woodlark, and the Louisade Archipelago), the
Admiralty Islands, and the Bismarck Archipelago; but excludes Green
Island, Bougainville, the Solomon Islands, and the Micronesian islands
of Tobi, Helen, and Kapingamarangi."
Three Australians, all bird tour guides (and passionate birders), sit at the
top.

The Australian birders list sits at

Because it follows Christidis and Boles (2008) taxonomy this version of the
list is pretty new; it only includes birders that have submitted their life
list to Tony
Palliser since February 2008.
Cheers,
Rohan Clarke
