Trevor was born in a little village, Waterlooville, in Hampshire, England. He discusses his early family life, migrating to Western Australia at age 4 with his parents and older brother and sister. Trevor settled into Guilford, Western Australia in the 1950s, canoeing with his brother on the river, attending Guildford State School and Governor Stirling High School; and training at Grayland Teachers College as a primary school teacher.
