Young round Australia flyer breakfast speaker - This Friday
The Year 11 student from Siena Catholic College, Sippy Downs, became the youngest person to circumnavigate Australia solo by plane in September.
The record in Australia had been held by a 17 year old, but Liam completed his journey at 16 years and nine months.
What an achievement for a Sunshine Coast lad.
Liam began his 16,000km journey from the Sunshine Coast flying in the direction of Cape York peninsula, down through the Gulf of Carpentaria, over Darwin before heading down the Kimberley coast and across Perth, then tackle the underside of Australia crossing to Adelaide and Melbourne, dipping to Tasmania before heading back home via Canberra, Sydney and Coffs Harbour.
It will be the first time Liam has visited all of Australia’s major capital cities, having only travelled “once or twice” to Sydney and Melbourne.
“I haven’t had the privilege of being well travelled so I’ll get to know a lot of our country and see really cool sights,” Liam said.
The idea to break the world record initially came from one of Liam’s friends whom he mentors in Sydney but has never met.
Why don't you set aside some time on Friday to hear from and meet this extraordinary young man?
