Is it really true that your Prime Minister (don't remember what year) disappeared in the surf?? According to the book, he hopped in for a swim and was never seen again.
Yeah, that is true. Harold Holt I think his name was.
As a kid, I spent 3 years living in Exmouth on the Harold E. Holt Naval Base. It's on the Northwest Cape about 800 miles NW of Perth. Traveled all around the country - to Perth, Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, GB Reef..... wonderful scenery. I hope to be able to go back and visit as a grown up!
