Tim has been honoured with the Member of the Order of Australia (AM) for significant service to the performing arts, and to the community, on the 2020 Australia Day Honours list.
Quoted in The Standard, Tim said: “I found it a genuinely – though the word makes me squirm – humbling experience.” Speaking of the “quiet achievers”, the people whose names are not well known, he added: “People from different backgrounds working in different fields being acknowledged for doing extraordinary things. It’s truly an honour to be amongst them,”

Lyrics
If they would let me trade
I’d give a year for half a day just
curled up on the sofa with you
We’d wander down to Cottesloe eat fish and chips in the final glow
I’d hold my breath for I forgive you
Sometimes I feel you with me in the dark
And your face is in the faces of the strangers walking by me in the park
And reflected in your eyes
Is all my love and all my lies
Is all my promise and my pride
Is all my fear and all my fight
Is all my dread and my denial
And though we cannot be together I know
that I will carry you wherever I go
I will carry you
Lord knows
I will carry you
I will carry you
And reflected in your eyes
Is all my love and all my lies
Is all my promise and my pride
Is all my fear and all my fight
Is all my dread and my denial
And though we cannot be together I know
that I will carry you wherever I go
I will carry you
Lord knows
I will carry you
I will carry you
I will carry you
Lord knows
I will carry you
I will carry you
