Biography:

Tim has been involved in Outdoor Education for 20 years.  He is keenly interested in the development of programs that lead to life long passion for the outdoors.  Programs delivered include climbing, sea kayaking, bushwalking, cycle touring, ultralight walking, winter skills and white water kayaking. Tim has worked with students building canvas-skinned canoes at the last two Australian Wooden Boat Festivals.  This led Tim to develop a five day program for students to build plywood canoes, learn to paddle and then adventure in them.
