I was absolutely stunned to just read of Judith Durham's passing, aged 79. An iconic of Australian in every sense.

Sad news indeed - still remember seeing The Seekers at the Myer Music Bowl WAY back. 
Another day - another song.

Her voice and harmonies were like no other, both in the Seekers and her solo career

A sad day indeed

RIP Judith Durham

Given her long term chronic lung disease, this was not entirely unexpected. But it's still very sad news.

She was an Australian icon and pioneer, paving the way for other Australian acts to follow.

RIP Judith. I'm sure they'll never find another (like) you.

Sadly another Australian icon has passed. This solo performance at the Myer Music Bowl
for Rockwiz Live brings a tear to the eye :
