Simon Townsend: Pioneer of Australian Children's Television
A tribute to Simon Townsend, creator of Wonder World, celebrating his contributions to Australian children’s television and his lasting legacy.
Husband of Trish, Papa of Tigi, Alec, Alfie, Arkie, Mollie, and Juniper. Beloved Best Dad in the World to Liz, Tom, and Sam. Brother to Andrew, Peter, and Miranda. Son of Austin and Hazel, Father in Law to Luci, George and Celeste.
This much-loved man, known for his enormous heart and even bigger sense of humor, has passed away after a courageous 5 year battle with cancer at least 100 long lunches in that time filled with laughter, bad jokes and margaritas.
A true fighter, a friend to many, and the king of jokes, Jon was smarter and more well-read than anyone we knew. He wore his heart on his sleeve and extended his kindness to everyone, always managing to bring a smile or shocked look to the faces of those around him.
Greatly missed already. We love you, Jon, Dad, Papa, Jonnie Wonnie xoxo
