I wasn’t around but sounds like 
the guy was a true Australian icon.
He led the labor party to victory in 1972 and was ousted in 1975. In fact he was the the first Prime Minister to be dismissed by the Governor General using reserve powers.

Did you know the first Dunlop Volleys were rolled out in 1939?! They were developed by a then famous Tennis Player by the name of Adrian Quist who got the design idea from a pair of yachting shoes he saw overseas.

I dunno about you guys but when I think of typical ‘Australiana’ I think of the icons or inventions that we seem to be associated with worldwide. Thongs, Hills Hoist, Vegemite, early Holdens, Bondi beach. Fish and chips at the beach, to name but a small fractions of what I consider quintessential Aussie icons.
