Born in the Hunter Valley region of New South Wales, Paul is a trained chef who has worked in all areas of food production – from Melbourne’s renowned Vue de Monde restaurant and being a WWOOFer (Willing Workers on Organic Farms) in orchards, to working in wholesale markets and at retail fruiterers. He lives and works in Central Tilba.

Tim Cope, born in Gippsland, Fellow of the Royal Geographic Society, National Geographic Adventure Honoree 2007, Australian Adventurer of the Year 2006, is an award winning adventurer, author, and filmmaker with a special interest in the traditional cultures of Central Asia and Russia.

Tim, who speaks fluent Russian, has studied as a wilderness guide in the Finnish and Russian subarctic, ridden a bicycle across Russia to China, and rowed a boat along the Yenisey River through Siberia to the Arctic Ocean.

Tim's most renowned journey was a three-year, 10,000-kilometer trek by horse from Mongolia to Hungary on the trail of Genghis Khan, a quest to understand the horseback nomads of the great Eurasian steppe.

Tim is the creator of several documentary films, including the award-winning series The Trail of Genghis Khan (commissioned by ABC Australia and ZDF/Arte in Europe), the author of Off the Rails: Moscow to Beijing on Recumbent Bikes (reissued by Bloomsbury 2014), and On the Trail of Genghis Khan (Bloomsbury Global Publication), which has become an Australian bestseller and won the ‘Best Adventure Travel Book’ and the ‘Grand Prize’ at the Banff International Mountain Film and Book Festival 2013.

Tim is the first Australian to ever win the award. In 2014 the book was shortlisted for the non-fiction category of the Australian Book Industry Awards (ABIA awards).

At a ceremony in recent weeks in Ulaanbaater, Tim was appointed by the Government of Mongolia as Tourism Envoy of Mongolia, which will see Tim Cope as the representative and promoter of Mongolian tourism in Australia, and was awarded the Tourism Excellency Medal.

In September, Tim is being awarded the Nairamdal ‘Peace’ Medal from the Government of Mongolia in a ceremony to be held in the State Palace on the north side of Sükhbaatar Square, Ulaanbaatar.

The Peace medal has been conferred on Tim Cope by the decree of the President of Mongolia in recognition of his work in promoting and celebrating Mongolian culture internationally through his book, film, and work in tourism.

The Peace Medal is the highest honour bestowed upon a foreign citizen by the Mongolian Government, and is solely given to foreigners who have contributed to strengthen the collaboration between their country and Mongolia through their work.

These awards reflect the long-standing history and relationship Tim has with Mongolia, in particular, his passion for the country’s people, their history and nomadic heritage.

Tim lives in Victoria, Australia, and since 2008, annually guides trekking journeys to remote western Mongolia for World Expeditions. Check out more at www.timcopejourneys.com

Also appearing at the Four Winds event will be Bukhu Ganburged, who is a master student of the Music and Dance Conservatory of Ulaanbaatar, and is a horse fiddle player and throat singer from Mongolia.

He combines virtuosic Morin Khurr and Throat Singing skills with a contemporary take on the tradition of the Mongolian bard — acting as an oral memory bank, performing Mongolian folk music and exploring the aural dimensions of sound generated by traditional instruments and harmonic overtone vocal techniques.

Bukhu embodies the spirit of reinterpreted narratives through verse. Transmitting the harmony of Mongolian nomadic and Shamanic culture through time and space with an enchanting mix of folk traditions, contemporary influences, and electro-acoustic sound palettes woven into the fabric of his arrangements.

Bukhu is a member of Sydney bands Equus and Horse & Wood, and a former member of the Morin Khuur Ensemble, Khangal Quartet and Domog folk bands of Mongolia. He tours extensively in Europe, Asia and Australia, and collaborates with artists over a range of genres including Classical, World, Folk, Blues, Metal, Techno, Dub and Hip-Hop.
