Have you ever visited Australia?

Most of our indigenous people play the Didgeridoo beautifully; it really is a haunting musical instrument when played correctly. I have heard that they are quite difficult to play though. I suppose it would be like any woodwind instrument.

Yeah, it's extremely hard to me. I did try to play it once, and gosh it was so hard. All I could get out was pttttt...ssssstttt.... and not the boooooo huuuuuuuuuuuummmmm like my bf did. He was like, "Okay, after the ten times of spitting all over my didgeridoo, you should know you can't play it." Bastard....
Anyway, you could see the one he bought it at wikipedia. There's a picture of poor quality mass produced didgeridoos and the turquoise one looks exactly like his.

OMG Lenny I read your post and imagined you trying to play the didgeredoo whilst thinking your boyfriend was a "bastard" for mocking you and I PML....... Good for you I haven't even attempted it.....

Oh that wasn't enough. After that, he messed with the dog by playin that thing. I wanted to try again, so I asked him to hand it to me. That stupid dog.... I couldn't believe him. When he was playing, that dog (Hercules is his name) was barking like crazy. However, when I was playing it, he was standing there looking at me and waving his tail. Man, I believe I'm a gentle person, but I have to tell you at that moment I really had an urge to kick that dog because my bf was laughing so hard. It was all his fault to embarrass me .

A didgeredoo is a long pole type of woodwind musical instrument played by Australian Aborigines especially at Corroborees (which are like celebrations and meetings). They are highly painted by the members of Tribes. Most of the paintings on them are significant to what the indigenous people call "the dream time". It is actually quite interesting you should check it out on the web. If you type in Australian Aborigines you should find something. Im really not sure about the correct spelling of the didgeridoo.

The music that this instrument makes is very haunting and beautiful.

Did you get to do any further travel other than Sydney? Maybe you could share some of those experiences with EC members here as well.

I lived in South Australia, QLD and NSW. I have been as far north as Port Douglas. I once spent a week on Gardiner Island. Somewhere around Townsville. It is 32 acres in all with 2 coconut trees and some jungle too thick to walk through. I tried to row a 6 foot dinghy to the other side of the island but the water was too rough once I left my part of the beach, the leeward side. One afternoon I was surprized to find that a 35' sail boat had anchored on a strip of sand down a bit from my cocnut trees. A man and his wife on board invited me to supper that evening. We dined on a huge fish that they had caught.

Were you there by yourself Danyet? I have never been there it sounds like the perfect location for SURVIVOR! How did you get to the Island? Obviously you had supplies, you weren't roughing it were you? By the sounds of it you would get pretty sick of coconuts!

[Danyet]

Yes, By myself. I had been dropped off by a retired Australian Army Colonel who had a boat. He left me there with a dinghy and army rations. The coconuts did get a bit "old". He came back for me a week later. This Island should be on your map. I don't know anyone else who has been there though. There is nothing there.

OMG Army rations (I think I would prefer the coconuts). My father was in the Army Reserve for 30 years (he was a Warrant Officer C1). When he used to return home from camps away he would bring all his left over rations with him and we would have ration Sunday lunch. ~ horrible stuff! The only thing I liked was the lollies (a little bit like boiled lollies) and the tubed carnation milk. The rest of it was evil.
