It is called circular breathing - It is where you breathe in through your nose at the same time as breathing out through your mouth (vibrating your lips) so as to play a continuous note on the didgeridoo. My friend lived in Australia for a year and leant to play it... He also learnt to circle breathe by breathing in and squirting water from his mouth!

How do you play a didgeridoo?

The didgeridoo is played with continuously vibrating lips to produce the drone while using a special breathing technique called circular breathing. This requires breathing in through the nose whilst simultaneously expelling stored air out of the mouth using the tongue and cheeks. By use of this technique, a skilled player can replenish the air in their lungs, and with practice can sustain a note for as long as desired. Recordings exist of modern didgeridoo players playing continuously for more than 40 minutes; Mark Atkins on Didgeridoo Concerto (1994) plays for over 50 minutes continuously. It seems a bit more complicated than the flute or clarinet.
