When the first Europeans set foot in Australia two centuries ago, they encountered a people whose lineage dated unbroken back to the dawn of mankind itself- an encounter which the aboriginal Australian has had cause to regret ever since!

These people of the Dreamtime played an instrument which seemed to resonate with the vibration of the Earth and recall the very morning of creation. The white man called it 'didjeridu' (from one of the rhythmic phrases employed), but many tribal names exist for this end-blown trumpet including yiraki, magu, Ihambilbilk, etc. It is also known as 'bambu', and indeed, although the instrument is usually made from a wooden branch, which has been conveniently hollowed-out by the white ant!, bamboo is sometimes used in the regions of Australia where it flourishes.
