AUSTRALIAN GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY
2015 Australian Geographic Society Awards
PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Australian Geographic Society (AGS) hosted its annual awards ceremony on Wednesday 28th October at Doltone House Hyde Park.
The prestigious event honoured the most remarkable Australians in the fields of adventure and conservation for the year 2015. Hosted by Catriona Rowntree, the awards featured special guest speaker Jessica Watson and were attended by over 300 guests.
