Looking for Something DIFFERENT to do on the Weekend?


Come and make your own didgeridoo in just one day!

 

Everything is supplied and ANYBODY can do it, so just bring yourself!

 

 
It's Really Easy!

You don't even have to hollow out your own didgeridooit has already been done for you! In fact, it is termites that have already done it, and then we have collected and seasoned the hollow tree so it is ready for you to make your didgeridoo from.

Starting with your naturally termite hollowed tree, you will learn to create your own didgeridoo from the raw products of nature. Included in the day is a relaxed lunch break, where everything is supplied and you can get to have a good yarn with eveyone in the rest of the group.

You don't need to have any woodworking skills to be part of our program, but you will gain some if you come along!

The whole process usually takes around 6-7 hours including a relaxed lunch break. At the end of the day you can take your own handmade didgeridoo home—and more importantly, the knowledge about how to make one of these iconic Australian musical instruments is gained forever.

Courses run on Sundays from our venue in Oxley, near Tuggeranong, South Canberra, (see below for dates), and the cost is $195 per person, including the naturally termite hollowed tree, a free lunch and all other tools and materials.

Our program has been designed to be EASY for anyone!

  • The Programs are run on Sundays from Tuggeranong, South Canberra
  • Cost per person is $195, everything included
  • Free lunch and drinks supplied
  • All tools and materials supplied
  • Suitable for anyone 16+
  • No woodworking skills needed
  • A great gift idea, and we have gift certificates available
 

We do School Programs too!

We also cater for high school groups, and have found that this 'hands on' experience for the students is a great cultural exchange activity that is FUN and also gives them tangible skills with a physical result in the form of their own didgeridoo to take home at the end of the day. The 'Didge in a Day' program provides schools with the opportunity to source funding from their indigenous budget, their industrial arts budget, and their music budget, making it more attractive because of the cross over of these areas, which are all addressed simultaneously.

We are able to be very flexible with venue location and are able to come to you to run the program if required. Actual program structure is also flexible according to the individual needs of the group.

Discounts for school groups are available, depending on group size and requirements, so please contact us for prices.
