Guide Bio
Ray is based in Sydney and runs tours with his wife, Annalise, focusing on international travelers to the Hunter Valley, Blue Mountains and Southern Highlands. Ray is a passionate naturalist who proudly considers his tours in the Southern Highlands to be ‘Australia’s best wildlife tours’. He is articulate, tall and lanky, a little bit rough, and regards his role as being a natural history communicator. His real passion is seeing people share his delight at the sounds, smells and sights of all things nature.
Ray has an extensive background centred around nature, including an associate diploma in Wilderness Reserves and Wildlife, and a degree in Tropical Plant Sciences. He has also worked at wilderness lodges on Cape york Peninsula, guided extended camping tours across Australia and worked for Indigenous landholders to create viable tourism based businesses.
