DIDGERIDOO:
Michael Connolly is an Aboriginal artist from Charleville.
He has been blessed with the gift of art that has been passed onto him by the spirits of his past ancestors.
The didges he produces are made from the timber found in his local area - primarily yellow/brown box. This timber is naturally termite-hollowed eucalyptus.
With his rich indigenous background he has produced beautiful traditional hand carved and individually painted didgeridoo’s.
Each didgeridoo is not only a unique piece of art but also a masterfully crafted musical instrument with high tonal quality.
