SYDNEY - A 17-year-old Tasmanian student on Monday set off on his attempt to become the youngest pilot to circumnavigate Australia solo.
Despite not yet being allowed to drive a car without a supervising driver, Oliver O'Halloran started his by flying out of Hobart in his Cessna 172.
He plans to make 16 stops on his 20-day journey, which was inspired by fellow Australian Ryan Campbell, who in 2013 became the youngest pilot to fly around the world solo at 19 years of age.
