He had a delightful home on five acres on the upper reaches of the Yass River at Gundaroo where he ran a corporate consultancy and philanthropy. Phillip sadly passed away recently after a long illness with cancer. He will be missed.

Phillip left behind a legacy including the birth of National Landcare.
