Greg Hastings - Wandering In The Bush

Greg is adept as a children's entertainer presenting a children's show entitled "Wandering In The Bush", incorporating songs and stories of Australian animals, including some didgeridoo pieces.

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.

Assisted by Linda, 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.

The 'didgeridoo' taught to Greg by the Kimberley Aboriginals is an integral part of the 'Wandering in the Bush Show' with two pieces - 'Family of Kangaroos' and 'Marundu' (Goanna) are both performed on didgeridoo with some facets of the instrument explained during the show. The children are enchanted by its magic sound.

The bottom line of "Wandering in The Bush" is fun, entertaining, interactive and educational. Even adults enjoy it! Teachers and carers alike have acclaimed it to be one of the best incursion shows to visit.

The show works well for ages 3-15 years.
