Australia’s 50 greatest explorers
Trailblazers
Each of us has a desire to explore. It was this that fi rst drew humans out
of Africa 100,000 years ago, and eventually to Australia’s shores. Since
then, our arid land has forged the character of all who explored it.
More recently, trailblazers have sought out the world’s poles and peaks.
Curated by founding editor Howard Whelan, a new AG-supported
Australian Museum exhibition nominates our greatest adventurers.
