Talking Australia

An adventurous life: Dick Smith


Listen Later

Dick Smith is described by Paul Hogan as part Bill Gates and part Bear Grylls on the cover of his new autobiography, My Adventurous Life. He is an entrepreneur, philanthropist, explorer, political activist and the founder of Australian Geographic.

This proud true-blue Aussie also holds several aviation records, including the first solo circumnavigation of the planet by helicopter, the first circumnavigation of the planet landing at both poles and the first helicopter to the North Pole.

He continues to support causes close to his heart and helped many Australian explorers and adventurers to achieve their goals.

On this episode Dick talks about his inspiring life, achievements and the importance of knowing when to stop chasing the next big adventure.

This Episode of Talking Australia is hosted by Chrissie Goldrick (Editor-in-chief at Australian Geographic) and produced by Ben Kanthak
