Crossing the Tasman

For this activicty I got to learn about 4 men that corssed the tasman to get to australia to New Zealand. This was very intersting. I learnt that  One of the men on board the Southern Cross airplane was a New Zealander named T.H. McWilliams. His job was to operate the radio in the airplane. Unfortunately, the radio stopped working shortly after take-off and the rain and ice were so heavy that the pilot, Kingsford Smith, couldn’t see out of his front windscreen.But they made it to christchurch intead of NZ.It was a long flight and it took 14 hours. I had to write a letter on how I'd feel when I landed saftley.
