The Wandering in the Bush Show is a fun interactive show which takes a very positive step towards an understanding of Aboriginal culture, imparting the joy of community singing and participation of the children. Presented by Greg Hastings, assisted by Linda Gillan,
The children are invited to sit in a singing circle and join in with hand actions to every song. With titles like 'Walking in the Bush', 'I Love the Bush', and 'Bush Calls' they are taken on a journey of imagination back in time, emulating something that has been done here, by Indigenous people for thousands of years, singing of the land and its animals.
"The Wandering in The Bush Show" was devised during 4 Aboriginal community school tours in 1988, '91, '93 & 98. The show provides the opportunity for children to get in touch with this magical land of Australia and learn more about the special uniqueness of the bush and Aboriginal culture.
