The Australian of the Year Awards
National Australia Day Council
2005-2014

Towards the end of 2005 I received an email from the National Australia Day Committee asking if
I'd like to make the trophies for the Australian of the Year Awards. This involved making 32 State Awards and 4 major awards each year. I made the deadline for 9 years and the best part was going to the awards ceremony in Canberra, where my family and I met some of the winners, Prime Ministers and The Wiggles!

The awards kept me busy for around 3 months each year and it was a huge honour to make them. Below are some pictures of some of the recipients with their awards and pics of the making process.
