Simon first came to Carnarvon Gorge in 1977 on a primary school trip. At that time, you could still camp in the Gorge itself and he recalls setting up camp somewhere near Ward's Canyon for a night.
The Gorge has had a profound effect on Simon's life, and eventually he moved here and built Australian Nature Guides from the ground up. Twenty years down the track and you can still easily see the deep connection he has with this amazing landscape.
