Default Harry Hudini first to fly in Australia?

I'm watching a decumentary on Harry Hudini. They said that Harry
Hudini made the first successful airplane flight on the continent of
Australia in 1910. Is this for real? A magician/showman Hudini was the
first man to pilot an airplane in Oz?

yep.
there were a few local guys who were very close to the date but
houdini was the showman who imported an aircraft for the purpose.

It's true. He's from Appleton, WI so if you get to OSH you can go visit the
Hudini museum up there.
