Australia has contributed more than its fair share on inventions to the world. This might be due to the pioneering heritage when the first settlers needed to be resourceful and creative in coming up with alternatives to many manufactured good that simply were not available. Visit any pioneer homestead and one of the first things you will notice is the recycling of virtually everything. Kerosene tins could be found as drawers in furniture. Repairs also conducted with the same ingenuity using anything that came to hand including fencing wire and baling twine because replacement goods were either too expensive or just not available. The Australian aptitude for invention has gone far beyond being creative recyclers and repairers of things. They look for better ways to do things. This idea that a present method or system can be improved has persisted resulting in a proliferation of new inventions. Many of these are mundane and given little recognition and acknowledgment.
