Michael Smith spent 20 years repairing Melbourne's beloved Sunshine Theater and becoming one of Australia's last independent cinema operators. He then tripped on a fairly different journey: to be the first person to fly solo round the world in an amphibious plane. With limited traveling experience, no support team in support of basic devices in his tiny flying fishing boat, the Southern Sunshine, Smith risked his life to make modern aviation history. His adventures include an unexpected greeting by Special Branch on his appearance in the UK, a near-death experience while going out of Greenland, and a wondrous journey up the Mississippi. In just seven months he made 80 halts around the world, exploring 25 metropolitan areas and areas, and browsing some 70 cinemas. All on the way Smith up to date his online journal, cheered on by 50,000 followers. In 2016 he was called Australian Geographic's Adventurer of the Year.
