"'ROADS? WHERE WE'RE GOING, WE DON'T NEED ROADS...'
In 2015, Michael Smith set out on a remarkable mission and became the first person to fly solo around the world in an amphibious plane. This is the often funny, occasionally terrifying and always inspiring story of that trip, and how it came about.
With limited flying experience, no support team and only basic instruments in his tiny flying boat, the 'Southern Sun', Michael risked his life to make modern aviation history.
His adventures include an unexpected greeting by Special Branch on his arrival in the UK, a near-death experience while leaving Greenland, and a wondrous journey up the Mississippi.
Showing a very Australian ingenuity and openness to experience, Michael worked his way around the globe. In seven months he made eighty stops in twenty-five countries, visiting many unusual places and, more often than not, encountering the kindness of strangers."
