For those in Sydney, there will be an informal get together at Bondi Icebergs’ downstairs bistro, also at 2pm.
Alternatively for those around the country, in the words of Hunter’s management, Mark Morrissey & Associates, “We invite you – whether you be in your favourite pub, a theatre, at home, in country towns, on the land, with friends – anywhere throughout Australia – on Thursday 26 – to ‘Raise your glass to Bill Hunter’ as a salute and a final farewell to a great man.”
Bill Hunter passed away on Saturday 21 May, approximately 8pm, from cancer, surrounded by friends and family.
