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.
He cheered the Saints through highs and lows,
With every game, his passion showed.
A cold beer in hand, a story to tell,
A heart full of kindness we knew so well.
He read the words, from A to Z,
A curious mind, forever well-read.
He served with love, he gave with grace,
A helping hand in every place.
Irish tunes still hum along,
His laughter echoes like a song.
Through tales and time with those he loved,
His spirit shines in stars above.
A life well-lived, a man so true,
Grandpa and Great Grandpa—we will always miss you.
Your Granddaughter Kate & husband Steve,
Great Grandsons Leo, Isaac, and Felix.
Your Grandson John & partner Lauren,
Great Grandsons Rupert and Arthur.
