Prepare to be transported back to December 1964 when excitement in Dumbleyung was at fever pitch. The world’s eyes were firmly focused on Lake Dumbleyung as English daredevil speedster Donald Campbell attempted to break the world water speed record and gain 'the double' - breaking both the world land and water speed records in one year - as the clock was ticking down on the final days of 1964.
Be transported back to the days when the newspaper and radio were the only form of media communication, and the CWA ladies ruled supreme. The local shire council was convinced by some forward-thinking locals to invite Campbell, his entourage, and his lovely wife Tonia (whom it was rumoured owned a bikini) to try for the near impossible, while doing battle with ducks and the Albany Doctor.
Enjoy a light hearted look at how the record was achieved to the soundtrack of some great 60s music. Meet some of the 'locals' who made the most of a ‘once in a lifetime’ happening in their little Wheatbelt town.
