Michael Smith arrives on completion of his circumnavigation of Australia in SeaBear VH-OMS 'Southern Sun'. Michael departed RAAF Point Cook on 6 April to re-trace the first circumnavigation of Australia by air, by Wing Commander Stanley Goble and Flying Officer Ivor McIntyre in a Fairey IIID floatplane. Michael's objective was to re-trace their route as closely as possible in both stops and timing. His arrival at Point Cook, at 2.10pm, was 100 years to the minute from Goble and McIntyre's arrival in home 1924.
