Turner had resigned from his ten year job as a senior keeper at Taronga Zoo, Sydney, to visit Africa and work on volunteer conservation projects. Before his departure, he took a party of VIPs on a behind the scenes tour. In one of the groups was Bryan Smith, general manager of National Geographic Channel in Australia. Impressed by the passion and depth of knowledge Turner displayed and struck by his unique presentation skills, Smith asked him if he'd be interested in taking a digital video camera to Africa to record his adventures. Turner appeared in a Play School episode in 1993 as a zookeeper when they visited the Taronga Zoo.
