Interesting article on the didgeridoo, Freda. I had always assumed it was an aboriginal word. I'm surprised the word only goes back to 1919. That would indicate that it is not an aboriginal word. I looked it up on Wiki which states the word is probably of Western derivation and likely Irish. I'm inclined to agree.
