I didn’t know there was one of these in Australia, the Naval Communication Station Harold E. Holt.

The man who mysteriously disappeared whilst swimming has a Naval Communications station and a pool complex named after him?! Amazing!
As an Aussie, it’s always amused me that we managed to name a public swimming pool after a Prime Minister who (at least as the official story goes) died whilst swimming.
