In the next 21 years Burnet proved Kellaway wrong. He showed outstanding leadership skills and was an inspiration for his fellow wokers at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute, until he retired in 1965. Burnet moved to Melbourne University where he was in the Microbiology Department.  He committed himself to scientific, popular and philosophical writings. Sir Frank Macfarlane Burnet died on the 31st August 1985, just 3 days short of his 86th birthday.
