The aboriginal people of Australia created a wind instrument known as a didgeridoo., Which was a long tube made of wood, and decorated with aboriginal artwork. They developed the skill of blowing through their mouths into the hole at one end, and changing their own voices to create sound that represented the bounding of a kangaroo, or the laugh of a kookaburra, or various other sounds associated with articular native animals. They also accompanied their singing with click sticks, two short, simple, wooded sticks which were hit together in rhythm.
