Australian journalist and TV presenter Simon Townsend, best known for Simon Townsend’s Wonder World!, has died. He was 79 and had an aggressive cancer.
"Wonder World" was a must watch for me after school. Simon Townsend fostered so much young talent.
It was a pleasant diversion before my parents started watching the NEWS endlessly. Only one TV in the house back in the 1980s.

R.I.P Simon
Back in the 80's his production office was a few doors down from where I worked.
They would come in to get sound effects and mix downs done.
Children's television in Australia owes a lot to Simon.
Several of the youthful reporters/presenters on Wonder World went on to successful journalism careers.
R.I.P. Simon.
