Not that race, there was one organized in 1919 by then Prime Minister of Australia Billy Hughes and it was from Great Britain to Australia, it was called The Great Air Race.

Correct. Please name the winners as this was the second part of the question. Bear in mind that this pair pioneered long distance air travel, so they were even more famous than Kingsford-Smith/Ulm, Lindberg and other aviators that followed.
Ross & Keith Smith. These two are largely forgotten and should never be as they were the true pioneers of long distance aviation.

Famous historical figures such as this pair deserve Australia's greatest modern medal posthumously. Think it is the Commander of the Order of Australia.

Thanks but think I'll pass because I'm not good at these types of games and I prefer the A to Z type games which is more my genre.
You answered mine at your first attempt at the game. So you have underestimated yourself. Try being the host as you are in charge and dont have to supply answers. Give it a crack.

I'd rather not I'll pass the baton off instead, cheers!
