Whitlams dismissal

Email from Dad:
Where were you on that date

I clearly remember being in the Boilermaking workshop at Cessnock (South Annexe) awaiting the arrival of my evening class ( making projects), when ?? White came into the workshop and asked if I heard the news! Of whitlam's dismissal. I was not only gobsmaked and upset, I would have taken up arms if Whitlam - on the radio news - hadn't called for calm.
It was an unbelievably distressing experience - an almost civil war atmosphere

What was your experience?
