ABOUT BILL HARNEY

Yidumduma Bill Harney is a senior elder of the Wardaman people near Katherine, Northern Territory of Australia. His biological father was the famous Irish-Australian writer William Edward Harney, but he was brought up in a traditional Aboriginal community by his adopted Aboriginal father, Joe Jomornji and mother, Ludi Yibuluyma.


Harney is well known as an advocate and ambassador for Aboriginal Australians having made several international tours promoting knowledge of indigenous Australians.
He is an accomplished artist, didgeridoo crafter, master storyteller and writer.


As an artist in his own right, Bill has works all over the globe with paintings in the National Gallery of Australia, the Federal Parliament and the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly. He has been a finalist several times in the national Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander telstra art awards.


The country he is from just South West of Katherine is known as the land of the lightning brothers. Bill paints in traditional colours and depicts the lightning brothers along with images from this area. 
In his paintings on didgeridoos he brings to life the dreamtime stories of his Aboriginal Wardaman people.


 

ABOUT THIS DIDGERIDOO

This didgeridoo has been hand picked for its sound quality and artwork by the Spirit Gallery team on their most recent didgeridoo buying trip to the Top End. It is made from a native Australian Eucalyptus tree that has been hollowed by a termite and then worked on by the maker to turn it into an instrument.

Once cut, the tree or sapling has been allowed to dry, to help minimise and prevent the likelihood of cracks and splits later on. The next process involves stripping the bark, taking further timber off and smoothing and preparing the surface.

In its final stage it has been hand painted by Bill and sealed with a gloss finish to protect the artwork, allowing it to be used as both a serious instrument and a piece of art.

The mouthpiece is fitted with a pliable beeswax mouthpiece. The beeswax provides the player with a comfortable seal and is also adjustable to different sizes to suit each individual player.

Great affordable genuine Aboriginal painted full length eucalyptus didgeridoo!
