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".
