Who We are
iDIDJ Australia is Australia's unique online hub dedicated
to enriching public understandings of the didgeridoo's cultural
heritage roots. It seeks to engage audiences with issues vital
to the preservation of the didgeridoo's cultural integrity.
We are an independent Australian non-government organisation
with a global community network of iDIDJ guild members.

Our Name
The disassociation of the didgeridoos from its source culture
and the advancement of modern forms of communication in contemporary
mainstream society presents a problem as well as an opportunity.
We are called iDIDJ Australia
because our reach is international,
we freely share information,
and we make use of the internet
(we like to think of it as the information
superhighway) as one means of achieving our objectives. DIDJ
comes from the fact that the didjeridu is what we are on about,
and Australia because
we are based in Australia.
|
Vision
A united international community that celebrates the didgeridoo
and its source cultures, values Australian Indigenous peoples
and traditions, respects the land and all its lifeforms, and
seeks justice and equity for the traditional Aboriginal custodians
of the instrument.
