| | | Graeme Sinclair's story is amazing! Since 1993 he has been on TV3 with his programme Gone Fishin'.
After numerous TV appearances and writing various articles for outdoor publications in NZ & Australia,
Graeme purchased an interest in a TV production company in 1993 and fronted the first series of 'Gone Fishin'.
Then followed his first book New Zealand - A Wild Place to Play and the formation of Frontier Television in 1994 as
producer, director, and underwater cameraman for 26 Gone Fishin' episodes and an
Inside NZ documentary Fiordland - Coastline of Adventure. | |
| | After seven years on TV3 with his programme Gone Fishin', Graeme has become one of NZ's most popular personalities.
Graeme has a very diverse and interesting background. He majored in Physical Education at Teachers Training College and joined a
pharmaceutical company where he moved from sales representative to National Sales Manager before setting up in partnership handling
advertising accounts for several pharmaceutical companies organising and guiding white water rafting trips, for hunters, divers
and fishermen. He later established a company specialising in the development of outdoor management and team building courses
and incentive outdoor and leisure programmes. He planned and led expeditions to Fiordland, Marlborough Sounds and
Three Kings Island to hunt, dive and fish as well as research subjects of historical significance. | |
| | He produced his 6th series of Gone Fishin' before becoming TV3's weatherman in Feb 1998.
His next challenge was to learn to drive a wheelchair and he still lives a very demanding and full life.
He continues to produce his Gone Fishin' series and is now a skilful wheelchair driver, angler, diver and hunter.
His story is one of inspiration and motivation - of living every day as if was your last - of change, from healthy
successful TV personality one day to being confined to a wheelchair the next. He has very strong views on life and
you will be inspired by his personal philosophy. As well as living his passion Graeme is also a very successful author and his video also has received enthusiastic feedback from NZ and overseas. He speaks to many business groups about change,
teamwork (essential for fishing) and the power of the human spirit, inspiring audiences wherever he goes. | |
