It’s not often you get a bunch of legendary Aussie explorers in the same room together, but it happened last night in Sydney, and KarryOn are still trying to process what just happened…
The spirit of adventure was high last night at the Australian Museum’s unveiling of the Trailblazers: Australia’s 50 greatest explorers exhibit. The who’s who of Aussie exploration were in attendence – including adventurer and retail magnate Dick Smith and Jessica Watson, who at 16 became the youngest person to sail around the world solo.
Adventure World – the soft-adventure specialists – is the presenting partner of the new exhibit, which was officially launched today to the public, and profiles some of the most heroic and daring explorers of our time, both historic and modern.
“Partnering with the Australian Museum on such an incredible exhibition that profiles some of Australia’s most epic adventurers has such a strong synergy with Adventure World and what we offer travellers; new frontiers, untamed wilderness and incredible discovery.”

Trailblazers: Australia’s 50 greatest explorers is the second exhibition Adventure World has partnered with the Australian Museum, following on from the highly successful Aztecs in 2014 which attracted over 200,000 attendees.
Will you be ducking into the Australian Museum soon to check out the new exhibit?
