Can anyone describe what a digeridu looks like and how it's played?

I think I've identified the sound (on Kate Bush's 'The Dreaming'. Gosh I
hope I'm not flamed for mentioning her! :-) ), but can't find any
info an the instrument itself.  Sounds like a humongous woodwind of some
sort...  I imagine it's an aboriginorial (is that a word?) instrument, but
I can't even confirm that.  

  many an aborigonie's mistaken for a tree
  'till you near 'em on the motorway and the tree begins to breath...
