Yidaki is the Aboriginal word for didgeridoo amongst the Yolngu people in north-eastern Arnhem Land. Yidaki is the local word as described to me by the Gurruwiwi family.
I was offered the chance to go out to look for a Yidaki, so we jumped into the troopy. The navigation system up here was Dhopiya doing her usual "point" and I drive. We start heading out of town, to me the bushland looked the same from one side to the other but Dhopiya was looking intently into the bush, she indicated for me to slow down and said here. We headed into the bush and unbelievably you could see the trees we were looking for, Dhopiya walks through the bush tapping the trees listening for a hollow sound to find the right tree to cut down. It is hard to describe just how much time is invested in the process of creating a traditional Yidaki.
