Tim Bowden has died

ABC Radio legend and beloved presenter of ABC TV's BackChat program, Tim Bowden has died. He was a wonderful broadcaster, producer, writer and man.

Here he is with his wife Ros (who died a while ago).


We became friends when I was working for the ABC in Sydney. Mostly around Apple technical topics.

I vividly remember listening to his radio series Taim Bilong Master about the Australian involvement with Papua New Guinea. I own several of his books including Changi Photographer.

Here he is perched in the back of my van on the way to lunch a few years ago.


He has requested that there not be a funeral but I'm sure we can look forward to some well deserved tributes.
