On the 17th December 1967, Harold Holt, Prime Minister of Australia, went for a swim on Cheviot Beach near his holiday home at Point Nepean near Portsea, on the Mornington Peninsula, south of Melbourne. He disappeared in the notoriously rough surf, and was never sighted again.
Stories have since surfaced that Holt was depressed, and the question needs to be asked - why on earth did he choose to go swimming in one of Victori's most treacherous stretches of water?
Holt's body was never found. This led to much speculation about whether the incident was an accident or planned. There were many theories regarding his disappearance, ranging from suicide, abduction by a Chinese submarine, that he faked his own death in order to run away with his mistress, or that he was a Chinese spy. Despite an extensive search, neither his body nor any trace of his clothes was ever found. He was officially presumed dead on 19 December 1967.
