Given that he enjoyed but one principal sporting success, the outpouring of stories about ?Gelignite Jack? is surprising. The larger-than-life Murray encouraged and propagated hyperbole. According to Evan Green, a British Motor Corporation (Australia) Pty Ltd employee, he was a ?man with a touch of Nuvolari, Ned Kelly and Guy Fawkes? Professing to speak two languages?English and profane?he claimed some sporting achievements that are open to question. He was a pioneer of waterskiing in Australia and alleged that he had been the New South Wales welterweight wrestling champion for ten years. Of chunky build, he had an undoubted commitment to physical fitness. In 1964 he won the inaugural BP Ocean Classic for powerboats from Sydney to Newcastle and back. He survived some serious boating accidents: in 1955 he was burned; in 1956 he was knocked unconscious; and in 1965 his boat hit an unidentified fish or whale at high speed. Quantity Available: 1.
