Australia's The Kennedy Awards for Outstanding Journalism winners were revealed this week, and we are incredibly excited and honoured that regular contributor, Tracey Croke (Naven), won Outstanding Travel Writing for an Adventure.com story! Of her piece 'Silicone Boobs, Queer History and Sydney’s best LGBTQIA+ bars with Kiama Blowhole', the judges said: "This was a well written and very funny article without being cynical or judgemental.

Congratulations Tracey! 👏 Team Adventure.com Oliver Pelling Tayla Gentle Meera Dattani Nicola Bailey
