February theme day: Wood - Didjeridu

Today, we're going to visit a land far far away from Croatia -> Australia! I have a piece of wood that I use as a sculpture, which was given to me as a present by my Melbourne-dwelling friend. The piece of wood is Didjeridu, or a (hand painted) Aboriginal instrument. The wood is hollowed out (from the inside out) by termites and cleaned to be then used as an instrument. I have never learned how to play it properly, but I can make sounds on it using my palm :).

  2. I recognized the dot painting style in the thumbnail. excellent choice and now if we could hear the music of this instrument, it would be perfect. How did you like our photos of Croatia on our www.vivalavoyage.com website.

  3. I've only heard a didjeridu played once in person, and I loved it. Very haunting. But it was much, much longer than this. But the artwork on yours is gorgeous!
