Aboriginal boomerangs are great sports articles and very special gifts. They carry spirit and culture of oldest living civilization on Earth. Just imagine, 40'000 years of history, experience and traditions are embodied in this beautiful article in your hand!

Like the terms 'kangaroo', 'billabong' and some others, the term ‘boomerang’ is not an Australian aboriginal name. It is the Anglicized interpretation of the native name sound that were variously written as ‘bou-ma-rang’, ‘boornarang’ and ‘bumarang’ in the old chronicles of Australia.

How boomerangs are made

All boomerangs in our shop are hand crafted and painted in Australia. They made from selected Australian native timbers - Brigalow, Mulga, wattle and red gum trees. The drawings depict religious and traditional symbols of Aboriginal culture.

Instructions are simple:

• Hold boomerang in right hand almost vertically with arms pointing forward
• Grip close to end with rounded side facing you
• Throw at approximately 30^o to wind direction using a flicking action
• When throw hold the convex end behind your head and release it in a sweeping over the shoulder motion with a twist of the wrist before releasing it. This is part of the trick of making the boomerang return to the thrower.
