Didgeridoo and Aboriginal Art

Select a hand made Didgeridoo from Mananura's collection, an Aboriginal Center offering totally authentic Didgeridoos, also known as Digeridoo, Yidaki, Didjeridoo or sometimes Didjeridu.

We are honoured to be amongst only 34 other Didgeridoo sites accepted by the largest, most comprehensive human-edited directory of the Web, the Open Directory Project.

We also offer striking and beautiful Aboriginal Art, in both traditional style, and art which incorporates fine art techniques of the West,
and authentic Boomerangs, Music, and unique Aboriginal Pottery, as well as didgeridoos.

All of our Didgeridoos are made from hardwood trees which have grown wild on Traditional Lands, have been cut by Aboriginal People (Koori) in accordance with Traditional Laws, and have been shaped and painted into Didgeridoos by Aboriginal artists, applying designs which are derived from visionary or intuitive experience, and oral tradition.

The Designs which are painted on our Didgeridoos are Real Dreamtime Images of Beings and Realities which Exist and Live and Create in the World, even today.

It is our contention that the Spirit which lived as the Tree still lives in the Didgeridoo:
and that the high art of Didgeridoo playing is to awaken that Spirit with your Breath, and allow it to play the Didgeridoo with you.

ALL of our Didgeridoos are hand painted: we do not resort to the common practice of stenciling images onto Didgeridoos, or other modern mass production techniques.


We offer pictures and actual sound samples of all the didgeridoos which we offer so you may get a feel for the one you wish to purchase, and instructions on how to play it, along with a beautiful collection of songs on CD from the New South Wales area. We are happy to provide personal attention to your needs and answer questions about any of the instruments or art we offer.

We are located outside of Sydney, and are devoted to bringing the stunning and authentic Aboriginal Art of the Peoples who are Native to the New South Wales area of Australia to the public. On display are the works of members of the Ngiyampa, Wirradjuri, Wonnarua and Kamilaroi, Dharug and Kalkadoon Tribes.

We have members who do traditional dance, as we sometimes
perform ‘Smoking’ and ‘Welcome’ Ceremonies.

We also offer information about local Aboriginal History in the lands surrounding Sydney. We feature the work of Christopher Tobin:
"The Dharug Story©, An Aboriginal History of Western Sydney from 1788".

We also have the Histories of the Ngiyampa and the Wirradjuri Tribes currently in the works, as well as other information about Aboriginal Arts and Culture. We are always adding more information and art in an effort to bring this wisdom and beauty to the rest of the world.

each, or enter our Aboriginal Art Gallery where we present the work of nine New South Wales artists, or to view our Beautiful Boomerangs which have been made using Mulga wood, a traditional material used in making these authentic boomerangs. Please notice the timbre grain flows from tip to tip, which is the proper way to make them strong, or visit our new Pottery Pavilion.
