Australian Axemen’s Association Hall of Fame

The Australian Axemen’s Association Hall of Fame aims to recognise the achievements of Australian axemen.
To be inducted into the Hall of Fame an axeman must fulfil certain criteria including international and/or state representation and achievement, championship results, and overall contribution to the sport of woodchopping as an administrator, coach, organiser or sponsor.
In addition to this, an inductee must be a respected member of the woodchopping fraternity and have the support of their peers.
