Episode description

Milly Formby is amazing! A zoologist, artist, author and now, an Adventurer!

Meet Milly and learn about the amazing Wing Threads project, which will see her fly a microlight aircraft around Australia, visiting schools and communities along the way, Sharing The Awesomeness of Shorebirds from 5000ft!

Hear Milly discuss the origin of the project, the plannings, the setbacks and why she loves the migratory shorebirds that journey from southern Australia to north Asia and beyond each year, and back.

The circumnavigation of Australia by air is representative of the distance these amazing birds fly twice each year!
