Explore The Aboriginal Culture with Us
Didgeridoo Australia is headed by Ganga Giri, didgeridoo virtuoso and descendant of the Palawa people in Tasmania, and Henning Gerlt, qualified educator and adopted family member of Gumatj people in NE Arnhem Land.
We are an umbrella organisation - working with a number of highly experienced and passionate Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal educators and performers
We are a social enterprise - aiming at improving the education on Aboriginal culture by providing entertaining and educational programs to Early Learning Centres, Schools, Universities, Corporate Organisations and Events.
Our mission: to inspire as many people as possible about Aboriginal culture!

Schools
Stimulate musical creativity & cultural curiosity
Didgeridoo Australia is a unique addition to school curriculums, multicultural events, theatre projects, holiday programs, open days or a full Aboriginal song and dance concert all its own.
Our tailored curriculum includes Aboriginal song and dance, Didgeridoo performances and workshops, and ICT presentations on aspects of Aboriginal culture. The emphasis is on student involvement, which cultivates a sense of community among kids (and sees some take up the Didgeridoo).
Corporate Organisations
Increase workplace morale and productivity at your next corporate event with relaxed, fun-filled Didgeridoo programs that encourage group participation and synergies. We can customise programs to address specific areas.
The Didgeridoo’s unique sound helps break down social barriers, allowing participants to work together in harmony. The breathing required to play is proven to relieve stress and increase focus.
Our Didgeridoo programs are ideal for conferences, seminars, training programs, leadership events, stress management workshops, social events, anything!


Events
Get ready to be inspired!
We can provide you with solo didgeridoo performers, Aboriginal dance troupes and the amazing, world-class Ganga Giri show at your next event!
Our performers are passionate about Aboriginal culture and have performed at some of the world’s leading festivals, including Glastonbury (UK), Womad (UK), Burning Man (USA), Winnipeg Folk Festival (Canada), Rainbow Serpent (Australia) and Woodford Folk Festival (Australia).

Henning Gerlt is a qualified school teacher with 26 years experience playing a range of Didgeridoos in a manner of styles. Henning studied with contemporary and traditional masters, including legendary Galpu elder Djalu Gurruwiwi. Multiple visits to Kakadu National Park and Arnhem Land provided memorable, first-hand experiences of traditional Aboriginal culture, including Didgeridoo making, arts and crafts, and hunting. Henning’s passionate goal is to recreate such enriching experiences in workshops and seminars.
As a result of his time spent with Yolngu people, Henning was adopted into the Gumatj clan in North East Arnhem Land, the Didgeridoo’s original home.
