Songman Jack Nawilil makes Mago at Bolkdjam june 2007. Nawilil is the leading songman for the White Cockatoo Performing Group. He is a respected ritual specialist and an elder for the Rembarrnga people back at his Bolkdjam outstation. He is also a didgeridoo craftsman (and player in his younger years) who is known to have produced fine instruments for the market as early as 1982 (and probably before)... in that year, one of his instruments was included in the "Aboriginal Art at the Top" regional exhibition which was supported by the Aboriginal Arts Board of the Australia Council and assisted by community art centres of the Top End. Other didgeridoo craftsmen whose works were included in the exhibition include Djoli Laiwanga, Bob Muldibul, and George Djunggunwanga (sometimes spelt Janggawanga or Jangawanga).
