This is the combined effect of Australia having joined the Berne Convention in 1928, and of 17 USC 104A with its critical date of January 1, 1996. ”

“ We killed 3 Teal and caught 3 fish, then moved up the river in search of a passage, at about 3⁄4 of a mile we found one, the bed of the river of old red Sand Stone in large massive rocks winding to a small rivulet of water ”
