Philip Green

Aboriginal Survival Technology

This dynamic presentation will give your students a visual and tactile experience of traditional technologies used by indigenous peoples across the varied environments of Australia’s deserts, mountains, rivers and sea shores.

Philip Green has a large collection of museum-quality artefacts which are given out in multiple touch-boxes for students to examine and handle. A National Geographic photographer, Philip will use his stunning photos in an audio-visual presentation of the native plants and wildlife used for food, clothing, medicine, shelter, weapons and art.

Philip has visited or lived with indigenous communities in North and Central America, New Zealand and Australia. In his eco-safaris across Australia, Philip has visited with local Aborigines living in Kakadu wetlands, outback deserts, inland river systems and mountain forests. He has collected artefacts and inspected Aboriginal sites in every Australian state. These experiences have inspired him to produce a cultural show that gives students the opportunity to connect hands-on with the survival technologies of Australia’s First People. Philip has visited over 1200 schools across Australia presenting his range highly-acclaimed of eco-science shows.

Please note, this show requires a venue which can be darkened to show projections.
