Aboriginal Australians used a heavy non-returning throwing stick as well as the returning boomerang, I think.58.178.126.236 08:09, 21 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Weet-weet

[edit]

What about the weet-weet, n. [Native name in Victoria (Australia). A throwing toy, or implement, of the Australian Aborigines, consisting of a cigar-shaped stick fastened at one end to a flexible twig. It weighs in all about two ounces, and is about two feet long. It is described by Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) in Following the Equator, CHAPTER XXI, Project Gutenberg EBook #2895. --Pawyilee (talk) 07:46, 30 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
