The govt can track you down for every cent you owe them. I find it impossible to believe that they can't find you for your lost super !!!

You make a valid point, Sue. Some super funds do offer consolidating services using data from government sources. These funds, if you're a member of one, proactively search for lost super funds for their members and send you details, requiring your signature to consolidate.
Much as it is a good and simple way to consolidate your funds, I'd encourage you to seek expert financial advice before doing so as you may have insurances in some of your funds and consolidating may automatically close your account and thus close your insurances. If you have pre-existing illnesses which may preclude you from obtaining insurances, you may be leaving yourself exposed.
