First circumnavigation of Australia by seaplane - 1924

A map showing the route of the first circumnavigation of Australia by seaplane in 1924. On April 6, 1924, RAAF pilots Wing Commander Stanley James (Jimmy) Goble (1891-1948) and Flight Commander Ivor MacIntyre (1899-1928) took off from Point Cook, Victoria and flew anti-clockwise for 44 days. Their flight log recorded a distance of 8450 land miles covered in 93 hours. Official records only recorded 8200 miles in 90 hours, the discrepancy caused by wind and other natural factors and the route not being strictly "as the crow flies" between each stop. The aircraft used was a Fairey 111D Seaplane (floatplane)
