The Australian Geographic Society Awards 2010 were a real buzzy affair
Winners of the 2010 Australian Geographic Society Awards 2010 were announced at a ‘full house’ dinner at Sydney’s Sofitel Hotel.
Buzz Aldrin along with his glam wife Lois were guests of honour as the octogenarian astronaut was there to collect his Honorary Lifetime of Adventure Award. Surrounded by security Buzz and Lois were positioned at the front table as the fundraising auction commenced with two offers of a photo both with Buzz and signed by him going for $3,000 each.
Buzz and Lois certainly created extra interest for the awards helping to boost ticket sales to support fundraising for the Society.
