Public domainPublic domainfalsefalse
The author died in 1941, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 80 years or fewer.
This work is in the public domain in the United States because it meets three requirements:
it was first published outside the United States (and not published in the U.S. within 30 days),
it was first published before 1 March 1989 without copyright notice or before 1964 without copyright renewal or before the source country established copyright relations with the United States,
it was in the public domain in its home country (Australia) on the URAA date (1 January 1996).
For background information, see the explanations on Non-U.S. copyrights. According with Wikipedia:Non-US copyrights, Australian authors who died before 1955 had a copyright protection of 50 years after their deaths. John Longstaff died in 1941, so the copyright expired in 1992 according with the terms provided by the terms of protection in Non-US copyrights.
