Where is Harold Holt? The 1967 Mystery That Still Haunts Australia Today - Haanji Melbourne - Radio Haanji
Season 1 Episode 2701
"Imagine a country where the most powerful person just walks into the waves for a swim and never returns. It sounds like fiction, but in Australia, it is history."
In this gripping episode of Today in World History on Radio Haanji 1674AM, host Ranjodh Singh took us back to December 17, 1967. It was the day silence fell over Cheviot Beach. Prime Minister Harold Holt, a man who loved the ocean, went for a routine swim and simply disappeared, leaving a nation in shock and a legacy of unanswered questions.
Ranjodh moved beyond the cold facts to explore the confusion of that summer day. We discussed the massive search that found nothing, the conspiracy theories that followed (from submarines to sharks), and the strange reality of a nation losing its leader to the sea. It was a reminder that no matter how powerful we are, nature is always stronger.
Tune in to hear the full story of the mystery that changed Australia forever.
