Well, I can contribute that Harold Holt, an Australian prime minister, disappeared in 1967 while swimming and his body was never found. For Australian viewers, that reference would be pretty unsubtle.
This film could perhaps be paired with other oddball Australian films such as "Picnic at Hanging Rock," "Wake in Fright" and "Walkabout." Or then again, maybe not.
Thanks, Alice. That actually explains something that really perplexed me: why the drowning/disappearance is given such perfunctory treatment on screen, yet is referenced endlessly in the dialogue.
Accepted. I'm just tired of the run of the mill stuff that's infected Hollywood for 40+ years it seems, not that there hasn't been a few gems here and there

I thought that the consensus was that he had been eaten by sharks.
I mean, that's the first thing I thought of.
It's certainly possible. But the party line was "disappeared and body never found." Kind of sounds like the Mayor of Amity Beach was involved.

You needed to find a fried out combi, on a hippy trail, head full of zombie.
