Yes, and then we named a swimming pool after him. Seriously.

My son just did a project and a presentation to the family about him - and yes, he mentioned the swimming pool too!  

Rabaul, Papua New Guinea, in its East New Britain province, of which it is the capital. It was also the capital, during the German New Guinea administration, which controlled the region from 1884 and formally through 1919, until the League of Nations gave that area to Australia to administer, and as such played a part in World War II.

@courtenay Yes, and then we named a swimming pool after him. Seriously

Well, at least Harold Holt really did have some connection with swimming. Pity, though, that he got lost at sea. At that time, I was still too young to vote, when until Gough Whitlam came along, the voting age was 21, not 18 as it is today.

Oh, how nice! Such a presentation would help him to keep himself well-informed.
