The King’s Grave Aboriginal Place, also known as Goobothery Hill Monument, is located approximately 40 kilometres west of Condobolin, on the banks of the Billa Galarie—now known as the Lachlan River. This significant site is listed on the Register of the National Estate and holds deep cultural importance for the Galarie people, part of the Wiradjuri-speaking nation of Central West New South Wales.
Believed to be the burial site of a respected local Aboriginal man, it was first recorded by Surveyor John Oxley in 1817. The site’s carved trees were later relocated by Edmund Milne in 1913. In recognition of its enduring cultural value, the site was officially declared an Aboriginal Place by the NSW Minister in 2008.

A fully escorted tour to Mallee Country with Roger, who will help you select your own personal didgeridoo. Enjoy lunch, music, and stories on Country before returning to Condobolin, where you will decorate your didgeridoo using traditional burning or ochres, and receive playing tips from Roger.
The instrument originates from the Top End of Australia, where its traditional name is “Yidaki”, which means “voice” in the Yidaki language.
Didgeridoo is the name given by European settlers, imitating the droning sound produced when it is played. The Yidaki is therefore a borrowed instrument in NSW and is played with the permission of Traditional Owners. It is traditionally played only by men, and for this reason, in respect, workshops are not open to women.
It is played by blowing into the hollow pipe while using a circular breathing technique through the nose, producing a continuous sound without pausing for breath. The Yidaki is made naturally by termites hollowing out young Mallee or Eucalypt trees.
