A Tasmanian couple hopes to track down a woman who changed their lives forever in a near-tragedy on the streets of London.

This process has prompted the couple to revisit the event and the questions that have been left unanswered.

Their friend, Marguerite Scott, shared a post last month on Facebook about the couple's story in the hope that it would help fill those gaps."We were all in the same hospital at the time but never made contact," Katy said.The post has caught the eye of history buffs in both the United Kingdom and Australia, and has since been shared over 3,000 times.

Over the years since the accident, the Woodroffes have heard stories of friends running into people overseas who knew about the incident and what happened to the mother and child."We had heard about some Tasmanians at the dawn service in Gallipoli years later, and there were some people behind them talking about our accident," John said.

"They engaged in a conversation with the woman who was talking about it, and she said she was the daughter of the woman that jumped that day.

Greta Thunberg and 15 other children target five countries in UN complaintThe complaint accuses Germany, France, Brazil, Argentina and Turkey of failing to uphold their obligations under the Convention on the Rights of the Child. She's either a politically motivated hypocrite, or she just has a complete misunderstanding of the actual facts. Either way, I can see why SBS loves her so much. Take out Europe, USA, India & China and the world is largely pollution free!! ScottMorrisonMP where is your political will? hopeless Oh really, they filed this all by themselves with full legal credibility and form - who is deluded to believe this - the UN is gladly facilitating the whole initiative. And so what - just because they think they are right does not mean they get their own way!!
