BEN TREWREN

Terry had always loved the outdoor life being a keen walker, mountain climber, sailor, canoeist, caver, and Outward Bound instructor.

​

In 1978, he became the main designer for the Heysenwalking trail and oversaw its construction until it was completed in 1992.

Terry travelled overseas on his Churchill Fellowship in 1991 to examine multi-use recreational trails. From his report Terry had over 50 meetings or visits in Canada, USA and UK. Many of these took hours as he walked the actual trails.

​

On return there was further development of the Mawson and Riesling cycling trails and advisory input for the Tom Roberts Horse Trail.

Terry is remembered as comfortably at home in his Akubra hat and bush clothes. He was legendary for his yarn­ telling, knowledge of the bush and the history of the area. These skills together with a sense of humour, drive, persistence and determination achieved the agreement for the HeysenTrail across government departments and private land owners.
