Who is credited as the first person to perform a controlled airplane flight in Australia?


…On March 18, 1910 Harry Houdini made the first controlled, powered flight of an airplane on the continent of Australia. The historic first flight lasted only a minute and reached a height of no more than twenty-five feet. Three days later, Houdini flew a much longer flight, covering over three and a half miles, before a crowd of about 100 spectators. With this flight, Houdini became the first person to fly over Australian soil while flying over Diggers Rest, in Victoria. Ironically, Houdini said that while the world may forget his feats as an escape artist, but it could never forget that he was the first man to fly a plane in Australia.
