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.
Don, beloved husband to Val, Dad to Carolyn and Poppy to Gemma and Blake passed away in Brisbane on Wednesday aged 90. He was an avid story teller - of his overseas trips with mates, his days as the Publican of The Junction Hotel in Oakleigh, growing up around San Remo, and of the many pranks he pulled as a boarder during his school days at Melbourne Grammar. He loved his AFL, a beer before dinner, and the joy of living near the beach at Cooloongatta for many years before spending his last 3 years at Marabello Aged Care at Victoria Point. Thanks to all the lovely staff for all their care and attention. Now reunited with Mum, and resting peacefully.
