"Number 7" Fighting Boomerang
Like most Aboriginal boomerangs, the hooked boomerangs of central and northern Australia were non-returning. Often referred to as "number 7" boomerangs because of their distinctive shape, these boomerangs appear to have been made primarily by the peoples of the Tanami desert region but were exchanged widely throughout the central and northern areas of the continent along with a complex and far-reaching system of inland trade routes. Boomerangs of this type were primarily employed in fighting but were also used in bird hunting. Thrown into the rising flocks, they were highly effective in striking birds in flight, causing them to fall to the ground where they could be easily captured.
This drawing of one is "painted" in the colors of Ty the Tasmanian Tiger's trusty ironbark returning boomerangs.
