DESCRIPTION OF THE BOOMERING [BOOMERANG] -
This instrument of War used by the Aborigines of New South Wales, is named by Europeans the Boomering [boomerang] and is of a half moon shape, it is made of a piece of hard wood Myall or Briccalow, both these trees are accacias and are similar to LIgnum Vitae - The Boomering has one side plain, the other side Convex, and is from thirty to forty inches in length, & from two to two and a half inches wide at the broadest part and tapering away at each end nearly to a point.
