About this event

  • 2 hours

Dale will guide you step by step through the process of making your own Didgeridoo to take home with you.

We use native bamboo logs for our workshops that are tradionally used through the Western Arnhem and Kakadu Region.

Participants will learn about the oldest wood instruments and understand the special Kakadu cultural meaning of what appears to be a simple musical instrument.

Please note, for cultural reasons, the didgeridoo workshop is for male participants only, all ages.
