Chris and Clark holding their Australian Geographic Spirit of Adventure award - Click for full-size.


Clark Carter and I were recently presented with the Australian Geographic Society's 'Spirit of Adventure' award at a function in Sydney. It was a great evening, good to catch up with many of the Aussie adventurers all in one room. As I said in my 'thanks' speech, I think that Aust Geo deserves the medal really though, for it is AG that keeps the spirit of adventure alive in so many Australians. Goon on you Aust Geo, and thanks!
