| Description | Pair of clicking sticks used to accompany a didgeridoo, each carved from a single piece of wood; Each piece is cylindrical in shape and tapers gradually at both distal and proximal ends to a blunt point; Clickers are played by knocking one against the other to produce a very sharp, loud sound due to the hardness of the wood. | |
