Of what type of wood is an authentic Australian didgeridoo made?

• Eucalyptus:It's believed the didgeridoo originated with the Aboriginal people in Arnhem Land, Northern Territory, Australia. Thought to be over 40,000 years old, in comparison, the oldest cave paintings are 3000 to 5000 years old. To make a traditional didgeridoo, the wood of a eucalyptus tree trunk or limb is carefully selected. The limb or trunk must be hollow - the work of termites - carved out while the tree still lives. Some groups in the far north of Australia used bamboo for making didgeridoos but eucalyptus is the accepted traditional wood. The didgeridoo traditionally accompanies chants, singers with Bilma (tapping sticks), and dancers during ceremonies. Source: DidgeridooBreath.com
