AG Adventurer of the Year Award

Recognising greatness since 1987, the Australian Geographic Society Adventurer of the Year Award is Australia's longest running award for adventure. The Adventurer of the Year Award has been bestowed to some of the country's most respected adventurers. As the AG Awards are a celebration of achievement and not a competition as such, not all categories are awarded annually. Each nomination and category is judged on merit alone.

  • So what happened in the years 1993 and 1995and 1999 I know heaps of adventures that deserve such an award, they not only complete great adventures but also complete community help and projects. I also see what looks like spots or names that have been deleted yet again (for better and worse) such awards in Australia attracts attacks on the so called tall poppies so you should support the winners as time goes on.
