Gondwanaland, originally billed as Gondwanaland Project, were an Australian ambient musical ensemble which combined indigenous Australian instruments such as didgeridoo and bullroarer with western instruments such as synthesiser and guitar.
In 1981 Gondwanaland Project was formed by Peter Carolan on synthesiser and Charlie McMahon on didgeridoo and vocals. After releasing the lp Terra Incognita (1984) the duo were joined full-time by percussionist Eddy Duquemin and the group name was shortened to Gondwanaland. Four albums were released under this title Let the Dog Out (1986), Gondwanaland (1987), Wildlife (1989) and Wide Skies (1992).
In 1994 McMahon formed a variable line-up band called Gondwana or Charlie McMahon and Gondwana releasing albums Travelling (1994), Xenophon (1998), Bone Man (2002), and Didj Heart (2012).
Peter Carolan released three solo albums Windswept (1994),Tides (1999),Overland (2006).
