Download 24.06 MB Kathy Mexted took the first steps towards learning to fly as a teenager when her father handed her the controls of his light plane for the first time. Since then she s been fascinated by flight, and the act of flying. Recently she began investigating the life stories of women like Nancy Bird Walton, who was the first woman to fly commercially in Australia. Later after a stint barnstorming, she made her way to Bourke where she flew a nursing sister on her rounds across the outback.
