About Didgeridoos


Didgeridoo is an Aboriginal word that originated in the Kimberley region and refers to a wooden wind instrument commonly used during corroborees and social dancing. A rhythmic droning sound is created when the player blows through the hollowed section of the instrument. Without a doubt this fabulous instrument is uniquely Australian and can produce a huge variety of sounds ranging from the natural voices of the bush through to the eerie sounds of the night. A good didgeridoo player is said to be able make the instrument "speak".

Australian Authentic Dreamtime Art produces a range of different sizes of termite eaten didgeridoo’s. Our range includes the standard didgeridoo as well as the more exotic types such as; Bell Bottomed, Root Bottomed and Bark Bottomed varieties. Our didgeridoo's come in 3 standard sizes.
- 85cm mini
- 1mtr small
- 1.35mtr large


A range of inexpensive bamboo didgeridoo’s in sizes (40cm & 80cm)are also produced. For those requiring an extra shine the option to epoxy resin coat the didgeridoo is also available. All of our didgeridoo’s are hand painted originals and signed by the artist and have natural bee’s wax mouthpieces. (Unpainted designs are also available.)

Our craftspeople test play each didgeridoo but be advised the nature of the didgeridoo is such that in some cases only experienced players will be able to make the didgeridoo "speak". Accessories for the didgeridoo include a complete range of teaching aids such as "how to play" books, and heavy duty didgeridoo carry bags.
