The ancient sound of the yidaki (didgeridoo) is a call to all people to come together in unity; to gather for the sharing
of knowledge and culture; to learn from and listen to one another.<p>
From 59 August 2005, that call will announce the 7th Garma Festival, the largest and most vibrant annual
celebration of Yolngu (Aboriginal people of northeast Arnhem Land) culture and one of Australias major cultural
exchange events, and a model for authentic, insightful Indigenous tourism.<p>
