From the ABC news website ("A" for "Australian") https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12-04/ted-egan-former-nt-administrator-musician-dies-aged-93/106100878 Former NT administrator, musician and author Ted Egan dies aged 93 Folk music legend, author and former Northern Territory Administrator Ted Egan has died aged 93. Mr Egan died this morning at home in his beloved outback hometown of Alice Springs. He was also known as a vocal supporter of Aboriginal land rights during the 1960s and 1970s, including penning the song Gurindji Blues with former Australian of the Year Galarrwuy Yunupingu. In a statement, his wife Nerys Evans and son Greg Egan told the ABC he "lived a big and very generous life spanning 93 years. We will miss him enormously". "It is with sadness but also great pride that Nerys Evans and the Egan family mark the passing of our beloved partner, father, grandfather, great grandfather and best mate," they said. "Ted passed peacefully at home this morning, as was his wish. "We shared Ted with Territorians, Australians and the wider world."
