00:56Trent, question
00:58All around the world people know this
01:00instrument as the didgeridoo
01:02but what is it called
01:04in your language? So in our language
01:06we call it Maamilama

01:10And mate, what's it made of?
01:12How do you do it? What happens?
01:14So basically we don't really make it
01:16We find it in the bush, tap on it
01:18or scrape the bark back, tap on it. If it's hollow
01:20we cut it down and then yeah we clean it out
01:22because white ants eat it out for us
01:24Wow and what's on the top there?
01:26So this is just beeswax

01:30but nowadays we use it
