In my haste I made one error. Photographs in Australia do not receive 
protection for life plus 70 years. It is end-of-year photograph 
'published' + 50 years ('unpublished' photographs retain copyright 
protection forever in Australia). A future update to the Australian 
copyright act is planned to change that to life of photographer + 50 years.

I leave it as an exercise to determine the meaning of 'published' in 
Australian law - like 'valuable consideration' it is a legal term that 
when used as such doesn't necessarily mean what reasonable 
English-speaking adults think it means.
