Aborignal buskers


Aborignal buskers on Circular Quay playing didgeridoos for the tourists. Slightly less tacky is Gavala Aboriginal Arts Centre in darling harbour which offers free shows about the aboriginal history and instruments they play. It takes about half an hour and is very informative about life in the outback and the traditions attached to the didgeridoos plus what the tunes played on them actually mean. Once it is all explained you realise that all the sounds made are meant to mimic animal life and natural features of Australia.
