- ^ Australian Nightclub Fire Kills 15. The Bryan Times: 8 March 1973, p.3. The fire started at 2.08 and not 2.10 as often reported in the press and on the Whiskey Au Go Go plaque which was laid on the footpath in front of the building. This was confirmed in the fire department dispatches (see Plunkett 2018, p. 29).
