Salinity education display

 

As part of his contribution to the Docent program, Jim Phillips and his son Andrew designed and built a theatrical display to demonstrate to school students and others how salinisation happens.

Jim and Andrew's display contains simple, colourful imagery and takes a light-hearted approach. The display reflects his extensive experience and deep understanding of complex natural processes.
