Ian Murray Chandler

It’s with great sadness that we hear of Ian’s passing. We have treasured memories of meeting Ian, Julie, and his family when we visited Australia. With a good heart who cared so much about his friends, family, and the community in which he lived. What a fantastic legacy he leaves behind.

Thank you for living a great and fulfilled life. It was our honour to have met you.

Ian was a great contributor to the committee of the Camping Association of Victoria (a predecessor of the Australian Camps Association) and was generous in his support of our aims and aspirations.

It was a wonderful experience working with Ian’s vision in the planning of Cave Hill Creek Camp and our journey continued over the years. He was a great friend and will be dearly missed.
Our deepest Sympathy to Julie and family

Vale Ian – a great role model for me – a passionate work ethic, deep thinking, friendly, wicked sense of humour and a community builder. I will forever cherish life lessons gained from time with him.

I admired your creativity and innovation. You will be sorely missed. I still can’t believe it! I’m sorry I couldn’t be there.
Love Anita

My sympathies to Julie and family. Ian was a valuable member of the Camping Association of Victoria and assisted in laying foundation stones for the development of the industry. Cave Hill Creek is testament to his passion and vision shared in committee meetings.

Dear John, Julie, Hilary and families,

We are so sorry to hear of Ian’s passing only today. Our heartfelt condolences go out to all of you.

Ian was a long-time friend of my Uncles (Wilson and Ephrem) and my parents (Joanna and Les). Uncle Wilson always spoke so fondly of him, your parents and all of you.

Watching the service, it was evident that he was a very hard worker and a great family and community man. We are sure his family will continue his legacy.

We will always remember the time we spent with Ian and Julie on our cruise to Alaska. We hope you will all remember the happy times too.
