Awards & recognition.

Awards are a wonderful acknowledgement of the commitment we make to the industries we are passionate about.

We have been extremely honoured to participate, and win, a number of awards over the last few years. We need a strong vision, the willingness to take some risks and have a great team that works with us to make it all happen. Thank you to the team!

Four Brolga
awards.

Wow, 2017 was such a huge year for us. Curtin Springs won 4 NT Brolga awards.

  • Hosted Accommodation
  • Tourist Attractions
  • Chairman’s Choice

“The Big Bird”

The 4th Award was “The Big Bird”, the Award for Outstanding Contribution towards Tourism Excellence. It is entirely appropriate that Peter be recognised for his 60+ years of first pioneering and then continuing to meet the needs of visitors every day!

05 / 2016

Tourism, land
management and arts.

AHA NT — Best Tourism Initiative

After winning the NT AHA award for Tourism Initiative, we went on to win our first national award.

After encouragement from AHA NT, we were recognised for the further diversification of Curtin Springs, with Curtin Springs Paper and Curtin Springs Walks.

Brolga Awards

Brolga awards are a huge commitment of time and effort, to win with our first ever entry was very humbling!

Agricultural NRM award

We decided that it would be time to dip our toes into the awards arena. Curtin Springs works across multiple industries, so to be acknowledged for the Agricultural NRM award was great acknowledgement of our commitment to the land and animals we are responsible for!

Wearable Arts

A Highly Commended in Wearable Arts – Nature’s Bounty Category 2016. This rounded out an award in our three major industries in 2016, tourism, land management and arts!
