Celebrating the best of Australian endeavour with the Spirit of Adventure Awards. Here are the past winners.

AG Adventurer of the Year Award

This accolade is awarded to people whose efforts reflect a strength, determination and the ability to overcome obstacles to achieve their goal. It also acknowledges that sometimes it takes more than one go to attain that goal. The Spirit of Adventure Award received its name in 2007. Prior to this winners received a silver medallion.

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..
