Early Life
Gullett spent much of his early childhood in Canberra, at Hill Station (now an upmarket restaurant) in what is now the industrial suburb of Hume. The plains of the Tuggeranong Valley allowed him to develop a passion for horseriding, and he became a very keen horseman.
In his later youth he spent a year at the Sorbonne and then at Oxford, where took a BA degree. In 1935 he commenced work as a journalist at Melbourne's Herald newspaper, where he stayed for the next four years.
