You are invited to meet Jim Eames when he introduces The Flying Kangaroo.

From its earliest days, QANTAS has attracted its fair share of unusual challenges. Jim Eames, a man who has QANTAS running through his veins, brings us the stories of a great airline and the people who made it.

The Flying Kangaroo delves into the stories of the brilliant risk takers who made QANTAS the safest airline in the world, the special demands of flying VIPs, the stage peccadillos of chairmen and CEOs, the hazards of overseas postings, and the ever present dangers of the skies. Above all Jim Eames tells the stories of how a uniquely Australian image was brought to an airline that remains very much a part of our national psyche.
