Today I decided to read up on the native people of Australia, also commonly known as Aborigines. Personally I think Australia is really cool so I wanted to know more about the people. The Aborigine people migrated from Asia around 30,000 years ago. They brought their art, culture, and music with them. One instrument they used to make music was the didgeridoo. I happen to own one of these and find it to be a really cool sounding instrument. It is basically a hollow piece of wood that you blow through with chopping lips to create a low resonating note. The tone and sound can be changed by moving your lips in certain ways. From experience, I think it's really fun to play and it is supposed to prevent snoring as well. Anyways, I think the Aborigine people's culture include some very cool elements.
