Death
On 26 January (Australia Day), 1996, exactly four years since The Whitlams were formed, and as their single I Make Hamburgers was breaking into the Triple J Hottest 100 chart, Stevie Plunder was found dead at the bottom of Wentworth Falls in the Blue Mountains, apparently a suicide.
Plunder's memorial service, held at St Stephen's Church, Newtown in February 1996, was attended by hundreds of friends and fans. The Whitlams first album after Plunder's death, Eternal Nightcap, was dedicated to his memory.
