I believe it must refer to an historic flight - possibly to New Zealand via the UK, der Nederland, Japan, etc - and possibly by someone other than Jean Batten if not her historic flight.

I was working on the possibility of Sir Francis Drake or Captain James Cook, but I don't think either of them went to the Netherlands and I'm not sure if they landed in Japan or not.

I've got one that goes
Holland
UK
Japan
But I can't fit New Zealand into that list, as I'm pretty sure they never invaded Indonesia.

NZ troops are in Indonesia right now, but that's not it...

Just a guess - if you put NZ first - is it something to do with giving women the vote?

Good guess Feisor! Do you want to go for a bonus point and supply dates?

Haven't got time to look for that info now - though I know that New Zealand was first in 1893 - how about we give the point (and the honour of the next question) to whoever posts the dates in the correct order. 
Sorry .... am supposed to be working

Darn that's right too. It's already Monday where you are in't it!
And when you head out for beers on Friday afternoon, many of us still are still at work on Thursday with a day to go.
What a wonderful world.
Canadian women didn't get a vote until well into the 2oth century. They were too busy hauling water and chopping wood and building log cabins to bake apple pies in.

Morning ~jwf~
Apple Pie? Which side of that border are you on?
Enjoy your Sunday...
I'm off for some 
before Monday sinks its teeth in properly

I dunno. Did Feisor get it? 
jwf
Advance Australian, Fair dinkum aka Feisor where are you?
GreyDesk Posted Apr 23, 2002
Seems he did.
Next question please 
Advance Australian, Fair dinkum aka Feisor where are you?
six7s Posted Apr 23, 2002
Feisor *did* get the theme but not the order and said "how about we give the point (and the honour of the next question) to whoever posts the dates in the correct order. "
But Feisor isn't on line... hmmm... what is the protocol here?
As the poser of the last question, I say whoever wants to ask the next question, go ahead...
GD, as you're on-line now and an ace, how about you make an executive decision....
I'm easy... with regard to what happens next that is...

Advance Australian, Fair dinkum aka Feisor where are you?
Bagpuss Posted Apr 23, 2002
I thought we'd got the order as NZ, Netherlands, UK, Japan.
Protocol schmotocol
six7s Posted Apr 23, 2002
The order has been established...
I was simply quoting Feisor "... to whoever posts the dates in the correct order..."
Protocol schmotocol
~ jwf ~ scribblo ergo sum Posted Apr 23, 2002
Hmmm...
If memory serves, we had to chase Feisor for three days last time he won...
So, in the interest of giving evryone something to think about, let me pose this supplemenatry question until we get straightened out here.
OK... identify the source of the following:
