‘Blast from the past’: Where are the stars of Ship to Shore now?

From a career as a spiritual healer to a running a psychology practice, here’s where the stars of Aussie television show Ship to Shore are now.

The iconic children’s television show Ship to Shore helped put Australia on the world map during the mid 1990s.

Set on a fictional island near Perth, the popular show followed the colourful lives of the children from Circe Island and was syndicated in more than 100 countries.

CLINTON VOSS AS KELVIN CRUMP

Former child star Clinton Voss played mischievous Kelvin Crump for three seasons and went on to dabble in minor roles before quitting acting altogether.

He later pursued a career in advertising before commencing studies at Macquarie University in Sydney followed by postgraduate studies in Psychology at Murdoch University in Perth.

Now a registered psychologist, Voss runs his own private practice in Perth with experience in addiction, personality disorders, trauma, military and sexuality issues.

“I moved into advertising and worked behind the camera and then more business management,” he said.

“I guess I got to a point in advertising where I wanted to do things for people not to them. That was where the shift was for me because it was more in-line with my values and that sort of side of things.”

“It had a lot of exposure and had one of the biggest syndication deals with about 120 countries.”

Voss still keeps in touch with his former co-stars and last year, he attended a mini reunion at the WA Made Film Festival.

“We all went to a reunion screening of the show, It was a bit of a blast from the past,” he said.
