My name is Dick Smith and I represent ‘Advance Australia’ because I did some
pretty adventurous things in a helicopter. In 1983 I completed the first solo flight
around the world in a helicopter. I followed this in 1987 with a flight to the North Pole
in a helicopter; and in 1989 I did a round-the-world flight going via the North and the
South Poles – in a helicopter! In 1993, with my co-pilot John Wallington, I became
the first to cross Australia by balloon.
