<br/><br/> INVENTIONS. AUSTRALIAN. Who invented the black box flight recorder, stump cam, spray-on skin, the baby capsule and the Hills Hoist? Australians, that's who. Necessity is the mother of invention. When white settlers first came to Australia they were faced with many hardships and unique environmental constraints. Their very existence relied on a creative solution to their problems. And that 'can-do' attitude still exists today. Step into the world of brilliant Aussie inventions and find out what makes Australia one of the world's most inventive nations. 
<br/><br/> For primary school age.
