| Additional information |
The "First Australian Flight" commemorated here is Charles Kingsford Smith's 1928 trans-Pacific crossing in the Southern Cross — the first successful flight from the United States to Australia, completing the roughly 11,600-kilometre journey in three legs via Hawaii and Fiji. Perth Mint's commemorative dollar program for this subject arrived eighty-one years after the event. KM# 153 places this within a broader series of Australian aviation commemoratives issued through the late 2000s, none of which saw significant circulation.
