We are extremely happy to announce that the 18th Didgeridoo Camp will be held on 25 – 27 April 2025. Didgeridoo camp is a three-day Didgeridoo event where men and boys of all nationalities connect brotherhood and celebrate life and our passion for the Didgeridoo. Just bring your camping gear (tent - caravan - camper - swag) and didgeridoo. We look after all the other stuff. The Didgeridoo workshops and live performances are done by two of Australia’s legends GANGA GIRI and GUMAROY NEWMAN.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We would like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of this land the Yuggara and Ugarapul people, the protectors of the land on which we are gathering. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present and may we always walk together as one.
NOTE: ONLY 50 TICKETS AVAILABLE - Bookings are essential.
About GANGA GIRI
It has been a natural progression for Ganga to create a new contemporary sound by mixing funky rhythms through the didge – especially since the sound he was after wasn’t available on the market. Influenced by many varied genres, including East Indian Tabla and African percussion, he has married indigenous Australian and world music with fat funky dance beats, and has found an appreciative audience across the globe. Deeply inspired by the sacredness of Australia’s land and how that feeling can be expressed through the didgeridoo, he has become an ambassador for his country, offering his world-wide audience a reflection of contemporary multicultural Australia.
About GUMAROY NEWMAN
Gumaroy is an Indigenous musician, poet, MC and cultural educator. He has performed around the world in ceremonies and concerts alike including at festivals such as Glastonbury, Vancouver Folk and Woodford Folk and has worked with His Holiness The Dalai Lama and artists such as Arrested Development, Shane Howard and Shannon Knowle. Keyna Wilkins is an international pioneering flutist, pianist and composer and one of three national finalists in the APRA/AMCOS Art Music Awards for Individual Excellence 2018
MAKE YOUR OWN DIDGERIDOO WORKSHOP **
The weekend also includes the opportunity to make your own Didgeridoo. We'll guide you through the process of making your own eucalyptus Didgeridoo to take home with you. The Didgeridoos we use during our workshops are authentic and naturally hollowed out by termites. No living trees or animals have been harmed or damaged in the process. We use quality Red Box and Yellow Box Eucalyptus logs for our workshops; they are seasoned and ready to be carved. Learn how to make your own didgeridoo that includes: stripping, sanding, chiseling, painting, tuning and making a mouthpiece out of natural beeswax. All equipment, tools and safety wear are supplied. ONLY 15 SPOTS AVAILABLE
** Make your own Didgeridoo $185 pp extra.
CATERING

All drinks including water, coffee and tea are included in the ticket. Our Malaysian chef Mei Eng has more than 25 years’ experience in food preparation, creating a delicious mix of Western and Asian fusion food that will keep on surprising us over the weekend.

SMOKING CEREMONY
Damon (Miri) Anderson
Australian Aboriginal Performing artist Damon (Miri) Anderson is a descendant from language groups Wakka Wakka, Kullilli and Gomeroi. Over the weekend Damon is doing the smoking ceremony on the Saturday afternoon. Smoking ceremony is an ancient and contemporary custom that involves smoldering native plants to produce smoke. This herbal smoke is to have both spiritual and physical cleansing properties, as well as the ability to ward off bad spirits.
