2022 Alice Mabin
Ten times best-selling author and BEFA Asia Pacific Female Entrepreneur of the Year, Al Mabin spent many years working the land before picking up a camera to share the spirit of our rural communities with the world.
Driven by a burning desire to pay tribute to the incredible people who provide for our country and empower people, Al’s no-holds-barred approach, and strong resolve to follow her intuition, saw her circumnavigate our great island nation seven times to produce four record-breaking publications.
The Drover, The Driver and The Grower Series are iconic.

More than just stunning books, her masterworks reconnect people to the outback way of life, celebrate the essence of the Aussie bush and stir solidarity.
In 2019 Alice released her memoir detailing the winding road that brought her from traumatic brain injury survivor to award-winning author. The Winding Road: Secrets of an Outback Entrepreneur goes behind the scenes of the renowned rural photographers’ life to remind us that our potential is limitless. Now well-known for her motivational speaking, Alice harnesses the power of storytelling to inspire change, challenge mindsets and create brilliance. “Like you”, says Alice, “I want people in our cities to understand and appreciate how the essence of the bush impacts us all.”
