SOB Hall of Famer: Trevor Hampel
Trevor Hampel is a retired elementary school teacher who lives in South Australia. He has always written stories and poems to use in his classroom and many have been published in Australian magazines. In the 1990s he had six books published, two curriculum guides for teachers with four accompanying student work books. He is now concentrating on writing this blog about writing and blogging which he hopes will help and inspire other writers. Some of his poetry and short fiction also appears on this blog. He is also working on several novels and picture book texts for traditional print publication.
Trevor’s Birding is a blog about the wild birds that live in his garden and in the district where he lives in South Australia. Watching birds in the wild has been his hobby now for over thirty years and he passionately shares this interest with his readers. More recently this passion has developed into a desire to photograph the birds he observes and to share the beauty of these birds by posting the photos on his blog.
Trevor’s Travels is a travel blog written by author Trevor Hampel. He has travelled extensively throughout Australia and more recently Thailand and Nepal (including a trek towards Mt Everest) and he writes about his adventures in his blog. These adventures are well illustrated by some beautiful photos of places he has visited over the years.
Notes from Liz: Trevor is a blogger’s blogger. He documents the details of his doings, a variety of experiences recorded through his writing. Trevor’s blogs bring his thoughts and images through the screen to make them ours. We get to share his world view with him. It’s his curiosity about how we choose one word over another, which bird comes to sit for his camera, or the diversity of what he finds when he travels that makes the reading unique and Trevor.
Thanks, Trevor, for the time it takes to document the details of your thoughts and your travels.

Blog Promotion: May I Introduce You?
I love Trevor’s travel blog. The photo’s are incredible. I’m going to enjoy taking a few hours this weekend exploring the blog from top to bottom.
Thank you for another great find Liz.
Hi Big Roy!
I enjoy sharing great blogs with great readers! It’s exciting to know that you’re finding something that you like!
Again, a great big thank you, Liz, from the Land Down Under. I’m looking forward to hearing comments from all who visit my blogs, people like Roy.
You’re welcome, Trevor. It’s good to know people take advantage of the SOB introduction as you did. 🙂
Trevor’s blog is one of the first one’s I’ve found when I started blogging. I’ve been reading it since. He has some beautiful pictures, especially from his Nepal trip. I love mountains.
HI Rick,
That’s nice that I’ve found an “old friend” of yours, Rick. It makes me feel the blogosphere is getting smaller. 🙂
I love mountains too.
