Naiuwa Art is an Aboriginal family owned business of Butchula and Yiddinji Tribal Heritage. They create authentic didgeridoos from carefully chosen, naturally termite hollowed eucalyptus trees. Jarold Appo and his family work together to create their own unique burnt and painted didgeridoos. Every didgeridoo is carefully sealed inside and out to preserve the instrument.

The artwork for each didgeridoo is chosen individually taking in the shape, size and music tones, this allows each one to have it's own spiritual look and feel. Here Jarolds daughter paints the intricate dot work onto a didgeridoo.
Naiuwa didgeridoos can usually be spotted with this decorative band somewhere on the didgeridoo. This is a symbol of a woman spirit that has been guiding Jarold to find his didgeridoos since he started making them. The didgeridoo is a powerful instrument in their family and the band symbolizes this.
Naiuwa means green turtle which is the nickname given to Jarold by Aboriginal youth he works with. He feels strongly about helping his community and has spent 8 years working with troubled Aboriginal youth. The patience that earned him the nickname Naiuwa can be seen in all of their didgeridoos.
