The presence of aborigines in Australia for more than 40,000 years makes their's the oldest continuous culture in the world.

Cave paintings depict spirits dancing to the music of song - man accompanied by a didjeridoo suggests that it's at least 20,000 years old. One story told by a Gunninggur elder tells of a man collecting firewood. He was about to put a log on the fire when he noticed there were still termites in it. He didn't want to burn them, so he put the log to his mouth and blew... Termites flew out of the log and into the sky, where they became the stars of the milky way... for the first time the sound of the didjeridu was heard on earth.

Traditional didjeridus are commonly made from termite hollowed branches of eucalyptus, (Wooly Butt, Yellow Box, Red River Gum Ironwood and Bloodwood). Traditional designs, "dreamings" are painted along the outside of the didjeridu, depicting important symbols and parts of aboriginal mythology such as the rainbow serpent, local animals and other totemic elements.

The Didjeridu, while easy to play, takes care and sensitivity towards not only the instrument, but also to the culture from which it came. The didjeridu is played here with great respect for the aboriginal people in solidarity with their struggle for land rights.
