Trish Clark has been a journalist all her working life, a period of over fifty years, in which she has worked as a newspaper columnist, a feature writer for major magazines and newspapers, a radio broadcaster and television reporter, as well as a producer of radio and television programs that have been broadcast nationally and internationally. She helped to found and set up the internationally successful science program for television, Beyond 2000, which was aired by the Discovery Channel for more than a decade. She was associate producer for the program over all of this period, shooting hundreds of stories, in scores of countries on six continents. In 2003/4 Trish spent 18 months working, with her husband, Iain Finlay on the Voice of Viet Nam Radio network, as Editors and Radio Programmers, while training local Vietnamese reporters in English usage, editing and on-air presentation techniques. Together, they also did a daily broadcast on VOV’s English language FM service...the first regular daily broadcast in Viet Nam in English by non-Vietnamese. Trish is the author of ten books, which include a biography, as well as fiction and non-fiction publications, five written jointly with her husband, Iain, on Africa, South America and the South Pacific, Viet Nam and Central Asia. She and Iain have children and grandchildren and, when not traveling, live in Australia on the far north coast of New South Wales.
