This week we go back to the year 1964, the year the Beatles came to Australia, There was also another famous person in Australia, Sir Donald Campbell , It was in 1964 he attempted to break the water speed record on
Lake Bonney at
Barmera in SA. The
Lake proved too small and the waves created by the boat were dangerous. Campbell’s boat reached a speed of 347.5 kilometres an hour, but the world record was not broken. Campbell was successful in breaking the record on
Lake Dumbyleyung, Western Australia, in the same year travelling at a speed of 444.7 km/h.
