Hi Sarah,

When I read the title of your thread I thought you were on about the other "Magically Disappearing PM"

On the 17th December 1967, Harold Holt, Prime Minister of Australia, went for a swim on Cheviot Beach near his holiday home at Portsea in Victoria. He disappeared beneath the waves and was never seen again. His companions raised the alarm, and what ensued was one of the largest search and rescue operations Australia has ever witnessed. Holt’s body was never found, fuelling many theories regarding his disappearance, ranging from suicide to abduction by a Chinese submarine.

More can be read at http://www.abc.net.au/gnt/history/Transcripts/s951005.htm

I read in a book that they built a swimming pool in his memory! A bit insensitive!

Sorry to hijack your thread but the title made me chuckle :)

Doing a "harold Holt" is an aussism for "doing a runner" here!!
