About Sid

I’m Sid Hewison.

​

I’ve spent most of my adult life walking through landscapes, listening to people, and trying to understand what places are actually made of. Not just the rocks and rivers, but the stories, the layers of time, the human and non-human histories that sit inside them.

​

I work as a guide, a storyteller, and a documentary maker. But at heart, I’m someone who believes that being in the right place, in the right way, can genuinely change a person.

​

For over twenty years, my life has revolved around travel, guiding, culture, and the natural world. I’ve worked in tourism, expedition-style travel, and documentary storytelling across Australia and overseas. I’ve walked deserts, ranges, forests, and coastlines on multiple continents, and spent a lot of time learning from people whose connection to land runs far deeper than maps or guidebooks.

Although much of my work is grounded in Australia, my curiosity has always been global. Australia is a deep well and a starting point for me, not a boundary. I’m interested in landscapes, cultures, and stories wherever they exist, and my long-term work is about understanding how place, history, and human life interweave all over the world.

​

I don’t run “tick-the-box” tours.

​

I design journeys that are:

Grounded
Thoughtful
Human
And genuinely immersive

​

Whether it’s the Kimberley, the Outback, or somewhere halfway across the world, my focus is always the same: slow down, pay attention, and let the place actually speak.

​

I care deeply about:

Respect for land and culture
Accuracy and honesty in storytelling
And creating experiences that stay with people long after they’ve gone home

​

My work is shaped by years of spiritual study, time spent with Indigenous friends and teachers, and a long personal obsession with landscapes, geology, history, and the deeper patterns that connect people and place.

​

I don’t see myself as a “tour operator” in the usual sense.

I see myself as a guide who helps people step into bigger, older, more meaningful stories.

If you come on one of my journeys, you won’t just see a place.
