Sometimes there are opportunities to have a quiet moment with Ronnie or Colin and deepen your connection by learning to carve boab nuts or learn the basics of playing the didgeridoo.
Carve a boab nut with an expert
This is harder than it looks! You’ll get some technical tips to have a go yourself but you’ll watch in awe as Colin works his magic to re-create the scenes on local rock art. If you ask nicely, Colin will carve you a nut for $60 which is a bargain when you see the time and concentration involved.
Let Ronnie show you how to play the Dig
If time allows, Ronnie will give you a personal lesson on the finer points of circular breathing and extracting the familiar drone from the didgeridoo. It takes skill and years to learn but you’ll develop an appreciation of his mastery. Made all the more poignant by his connection to this country, be moved by the resonance of thousands of years of story-telling through music.
