If I\u2019m gonna tell this story, I\u2019m gonna have to start with the men. In Queensland---right in the middle of it, bum-fuck-nowhere is the word---there\u2019s a town called Mitchell. It has two pubs and a mechanic who services the road trains that pass through, and its only claim to fame is birthing Australia\u2019s shortest-serving Prime Minister ever. I got to know Mitchell\u2019s mechanic while I was driving road trains over the Warrego Highway between South Australia and Queensland. | Copyright 2016 by Rose Hartley.
