The 'Weekend Australian' newspaper (Australia's national newspaper) of August 14/15, 1999 has a supplement - 'This Living Century'. See pages 6 and 16. AR is listed among the top twenty of this century's 'The Adventurers', unranked in with nos. 11 to 20. "Those who best exemplified the spirit of adventure". His entry refers to "the timelessness of those tales". AR's adventures: "sailing and small adventures." Not bad for Australia! Donald Wall.
