Michael Smith discovered the delights and peril of true adventure in a solo circumnavigation of the world in a tiny amphibious flying boat. Independent cinemas across Australia are showing the documentary of his amazing tale at 3:30pm this Sunday.

Africa is renowned for its big wildlife, even bigger rivers and, perhaps surprisingly, its big mountains, with Mt Kilimanjaro, Mt Kenya and the Rwenzori Mountains the continent’s three highest points.
