Summary To many people, the dismissal of the Whitlam regime showed that Australia was still close to Britain. Professor Blainey has a different view. He believes that the dramatic events of 11 November 1975, proved that Australia and Britain had already begun drifting apart and that it was a sign of how delicate our British links had become. He traces the major events which have marked our growing independence from the 'mother country' - such events as Gallipoli, the Bodyline bowling controversy, the first Royal Tour and Britain's decision to join the European Common Market.
