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.
It is with profound sadness and heartbreak that I announce the tragic passing of Aaron Stahlhut, aged 54, a loving father to Mollie and brother to Bill and Jane. On March 16, 2025, Aaron’s extraordinary life was cut short in unforeseen and devastating circumstances.
Aaron was a thoughtful, wise, and generous man who brought so much positive energy and laughter to those he met. Our relationship was uniquely ours, you were never just Dad to me, more like a best friend.
You will continue to live on in my heart. I grieve not only your loss but all the moments we will never get to share. Despite the depth of pain I feel now, I am endlessly grateful that you were my Dad.
Details of a memorial service will follow in due course.
