Bill Peach: A man whose passion for travel never waned
TravelMole would like to add to the many tributes to Bill Peach who passed away after a short illness earlier this week, aged 78.
Following his eight years as the presenter of the ABC’s ground breaking current affairs programme "This Day Tonight", Bill began his "Peach’s Australia" documentary series.
He made 27 programmes in two years, filming in every part of Australia.
He made other programmes: "Holidays with Bill Peach", "Peach’s Australian Cities", "Peach’s Gold" and "The Explorers".
In 1984 he exchanged the ABC’s battered 4-wheel drive vehicles for a more salubrious mode of transport – the F27 Fokker Friendship plane.
For 30 years Bill hosted travellers on trips in Australia and around the world.
He was awarded the Order of Australia (AM) for his services to the Australian media and tourism.
In a statement, the tour company said: "Bill was an amazing man, whose passion for travelling in Australia never swayed, whose zest for life was incredible.
"He will be greatly missed by all those who have worked and travelled with him."
