| | | "Well may we say God save the Queen, because nothing will save the Governer-General!" | | How much do you really know about the 11th of November, 1975? The sacking of Australian Prime Minister Gough Whitlam is a story that almost every Australian knows, but what led up to that moment is a shadowy, behind-the-scenes tale that few people have ever heard.

The racetrack stretched from Uluru to the Gold Coast, thousands of kilometres through baking terrain, all to be traversed on camel-back. This trek of endurance had never been tried before – and likely won't be again. | | |
