Dig do-or-die performance of Australian music maker (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

didgeridoo

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'music maker' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'dig do-or-die performance' is the wordplay.
'performance' indicates an anagram.
'dig'+'do'+'or'+'die'='digdoordie'
'digdoordie' is an anagram of 'DIDGERIDOO'.

'of australian' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for didgeridoo that I've seen before include "It's used in Bush" , "One Aussies played" , "musical instrument" , "wind instrument" , "Primitive blower" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
