Opal Field Gems Mine and Museum

In my travels I spotted a sign outside a city opal store featuring an Aboriginal art gallery. There were a wide range of original paintings, artefacts and lots of didgeridoos all belonging to the Aboriginals of South Australia. As I wondered around, I could hear the kind of haunting sound of the didgeridoo playing in the background. It was interesting to learn that traditionally only men played that instrument. I was impressed by the variety of the intricate designs and bold colours that embellished each didgeridoo. Each was a unique uneven shape and created a natural yet dynamic arrangement as you can see in the photo below.
