Description

The didgeridoo or didjeridu is a wind instrument made and used by many northern and central Australian Aboriginal cultural groups. It is crafted by using the main trunk of eucalyptus trees that have been hollowed out by termites. The tunnels created by the termites give the didgeridoo its unique “whirling” sound. Aboriginal art has been used on didgeridoos for over 40,000 years - the number of years that the aboriginal culture is believed to have existed. The intricate relationship between Aboriginal culture, the use of didgeridoos and the symbols that appear on them is a close relationship between the people and their beliefs and ancestral religion. The didgeridoo serves many purposes among the Australian Aboriginal community including worship and spiritual significance and for entertainments.
