Encyclopedia > Gaby Kennard

Gaby Kennard (b. 1944 East Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) was the first Australian woman to circumnavigate the globe by airplane. In 1989, she began her journey, following Amelia Earhart's route as much as possible. The trip took 99 days and covered 29,000 nautical miles. In recognition of this achievement, she received the Harmon Trophy.


The trip made Kennard a celebrity and she used this status to raise funds for the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia.


She is married and has a daughter and son.
