"Milly Formby wanted to better understand life as a bird, so she learned how to
fly.

Not by growing wings, or developing a superpower, but by getting her pilot's
licence.

She is about to embark on a 20,000-kilometre trip around the coast of mainland
Australia and is believed to be the first woman to do so.

And one day, she has a dream to fly all the way from Australia to Siberia.

Ms Formby will embark on a 20,000-kilometre trip around the coast of mainland
Australia from Broome.(Supplied: Milly Formby)

It is all in an effort to raise awareness for the migratory shorebird, many
which are critically endangered."
