Wikified article, but still a Biography Start class. -- Yamara 09:56, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

date of death[edit]

Although contemporary accounts state that Durack died on 21 March 1956 (see here and here), agree that the actual date is 20 March 1956 as stated by the adb (here), and as shown by a photo on Find a Grave here ps. although FaG is not useable as a source i reckon its okay here in this context.
