On a trip from Brissy to Whangarei we spent the best part of a night surounded by lightening, the strikes must have been in the thousands, we were on a steel Roberts Mauritius and certainly felt vulnerable. Not one hit us.

Some guy on another thread is curious about putting a still on board.

And yes "Duraluminium" is the same here as in the states.
