The sounds of Australia's indigenous
instrument and cultural icon, the didjeridu, is unforgettable in front of
a fire-place. This is where the instrument was born. Hear
traditional tones that are thousands of years in the making, as well as
contemporary tunes based on modern tempo and rhythm.
And for every breath into the didjeridu there is a story that can be told about its birthplace, the traditional owners and custodians of the instrument, as well as its remarkable rise in the music industry across the countries of the world. Scott has personal experience as well as researched knowledge to share in discussion and presentation of a snapshot of Aboriginal culture, including some examples of Dream-time stories. Learn how to make damper bread in the fireplace, as well as "Billy-tea" with authentic flavours of the outback. The day may even finish off with a chance to play the didjeridu yourself. Alternatively have a turn at throwing a boomerang or even a woomera and spear! The Down Under Day is a great alternative break for groups on conference or working tours. The program also suits conference member's families, as well as student and social groups seeking an interesting event or social gathering.
