Celebrating the best of Australian endeavour in a lifetime of achievement.

AG Lifetime of Adventure Award

This is the Society's highest honour and recognises those special Australians who have not only lived an adventurous life, but have also put something back into Australia and inspired other Australians.

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.

2010	Lincon Hall
2009	Dr Jon Stephenson
2008	Alan Warild
2007	Andrew McAuley (posthumous)
2006	Greg Mortimer

2004	Mike McDowell
2003	Tom Kruse
2002	Griselda Sprigg
2001	Alf Howard
2000	Dick Smith

AG Lifetime of Conservation Award

Like the Lifetime of Adventure, this honour is given to those who have demonstrated a lifelong commitment to their field. Awarded for the first time in 2008, this award reflects the AG ethos that being a conservationist is not a trend, but a lifelong pursuit that all Australians should aspire to.

Year	Awardee
2010	Mary White
2009	Alex Colley, OAM
2008	Ron & Valerie Taylor
