Making a didgeridoo
Mirwatna is an expert didgeridoo maker. We follow him as he takes his nephew, Ivan, out into the bush and looks for a hollow tree from which to make a didgeridoo. He explains how the termites have hollowed out the tree trunk, and breaks open a termite mound in order to show us the creatures. He takes the hollow trunk back to the village where he turns it into a didgeridoo, explaining its cultural significance.
He teaches Ivan how to play it and then goes to a local pool with the children from the village where they dance to the sound of Mirwatna playing the didgeridoo.
