In 1928 Arthur Upfield, Australia’s premier crime writer, plotted the perfect murder for his novel THE SANDS OF WINDEE.Meanwhile, one of his friends, stockman Snowy Rowles, put the scheme into deadly effect, even before the book was published. This true story resulted in one of Australia’s most sensational murder trials of the 1930’s and catapulted Upfield’s name onto the world stage.

Oh, I thought my headache had gone, but I read the post as if Australia´s prime minister had plotted the perfect murder! But who knows with politicians these days :)
By the way, your blog is so neat and tidy now; it is much easier to find everything.
Have you ever come across any Upfield Dorte? Perhaps I need to send you a couple!
Well, Robert Menzies is the lead in the film and he is the grandson of the prime minister Robert Menzies...maybe there's a connection :)
Actually I haven´t. In Denmark we neither come across many Australian crime novels nor many of your prime ministers.
