I think it was this one.
I thought it was more recent since I saw a video of it on TV last week.  The crew was rescued by helicopter while the oil kept catching on fire and threatening to blow the whole ship.  It was pretty hairy.

That explains it; I was only 7 years old when it happened! No wonder I dont remember it.

Hilarious video though.

Also, it's quite a big coastline that Aus has got... much like it's 'quite' a big hit Harry Potter Wink
