The Pelican Boomerang

The Pelican boomerang is a classic shaped boomerang that's easy to throw, glides through the air and hovers nicely on its return flight back to you. It's made in Australia and decorated with kangaroos, spirals, dots and flowers.

A bit more about boomerangs

Traditionally non-returning boomerangs were used to hunt and kill prey. Returning boomerangs were mainly used for having fun. Either way, when throwing a boomerang, it’s completely different to a frisbee. Instead it needs to be thrown almost vertically, with a lot of spin power behind it. Watching a boomerang return can seem like the magic of a bird soaring on the wind.

Boomerangs have been discovered across the world. From Ancient Egypt to India and even the United States where Native Americans in California and Arizona used non-returning boomerangs. Here in Australia, Aboriginal boomerangs were traditionally used for:

• Hunting tools
• Fighting
• Digging e.g. food and then cutting it
• Sport
• Musical instruments e.g. music sticks
• Making fire by creating friction through rubbing

Boomerangs were made of wood and came in all shapes and sizes and this is still the case. Boomerangs used in sport however are made of typically made of special plastics or aircraft plywood.
