ABOUT THE CLUB
As the world's largest "island"—and the only country to span an entire continent—Australia, together with New Zealand, certainly has its fair share of explorers! The history of exploration and our pioneering spirit is still strongly ablaze today. The Australia- New Zealand Chapter of The Explorers Club (ANZEC) represents this vibrant spirit: a focus to bring together our exceptional men and women who are pioneers in their field, leading the world into uncharted territories. As a quick cross-section of our membership reveals, while we may be hidden down underneath the globe, our members have definitely left their mark on the world stage and continue to do so! Sir Edmund Hillary—The Explorers Club’s honorary chair—is of course one of our members, along with other greats including Dick Smith and Bill McGrath. Tim Jarvis holds the record for the world's fastest unsupported journey to the South Pole; Dr. Ann McFarlane, our chapter chair, has been involved with excavations of Old Kingdom sites in Egypt for over 25 years; and Chris Bray—the chapter's youngest member at 22—recently returned from leading a two-man, 58-day unsupported expedition across a largely unexplored island in the Arctic. This is but a sample of our over 40 members, every one of whom has exceptional tales to tell, tips, ideas, and experiences to pass on, and a true passion for life. The Australia-New Zealand Chapter exists to foster this passion and to encourage others to get out there and give it a go. For information, contact: Ann S McFarlane, Chair
