Garma Festival Yidaki Statement, 17 July 1999
The Garma Festival was held on the occasion of a Garma ceremony involving many clans from Arnhem Land. This Garma has as its purpose the sharing of knowledge and culture, and the opening of hearts to the message of the land at Gulkula, where the ancestor Ganbulapula brought the yidaki (didjeridu) into being among the Gumatj people.
The sound of the yidaki at Gulkula is a call to the clans of northeast Arnhem Land to come together. It is a call to all peoples to come together in unity.
The yidaki comes from Aboriginal law and is used in sacred contexts that have ever deeper layers of meaning. The yidaki and the bilma (clapping sticks) are the rhythm and pulse for the stories of our ceremonies that go back to our ancestors. They also look forward to the world we share with Balanda (non-Aboriginal people).

Easy Didgeridoo Carrying Cases
There are plenty of places online to purchase a didgeridoo bag.
You can always try eBay or one of the fine stores listed in my links section.
Here are a couple of alternatives.
My friend Brian uses ski holders / bags to hold his didge’s while traveling.
What I did is purchased unique cloth at an import store and had somebody hand tailor it, for a total cost of $75 which is just a bit more than I’d pay for a good carrying bag online. Except, that this case is personalized.
