In May 2013 an attempt was made to walk between Old Sarum and Stonehenge which only failed due to lack of drinking water. The attempt was part of Operation Sugar Caster a minor exercise which was part of SOBREX Roman Roads, a sub-phase of AUSTRALIAN BRITISH EXPEDITION.The walk between those two points was symbolic as Old Sarum represented the days before the Reform Act of 1832 and Stonehenge represnted an even earlier period in British life.By walking between these two places the Expedition was visiting both ends of a continuum that has meaning for Australasians,namely the Constitutional History of Britian. This History was uppermost in people's minds during the political upheavals of the latter 19th Century.It was from this kind of basis that the newer nations of Australasia drew their traditions when forming new national political systems.
