“I have known Trevor Fearnley for many years. He is one of the few successful businessmen I know who not only digs deep into his own pocket, but is also involved in the management and organisation of many charities - from The Salvation Army to the Scout Movement. I ‘dips me lid’ to Trevor Fearnley. Enjoy his story.”
Dick Smith AO

“How do you put into a few lines the admiration that one has for a man who has changed the lives of many. Trevor has a humility about his talents and a passion for assisting others. His personal generosity, and that of his time and knowledge is endless. Trevor’s outstanding gift is to enthuse others so that the initiative which he starts lives on and continues to prosper. Australia is very lucky he chose to call ‘Australia Home’.”
