\"Rockhampton<\/a>PLACE REPRESENTED:\u00a0Rockhampton, Queensland\u00a0,\u00a0Australia<\/p>\n

ITEM:\u00a0Souvenir Boomerang Ornament<\/p>\n

NOTES:\u00a0I’m not sure if this boomerang will come back. It’s machine shopped but it is made in Australia (in Melbourne) and made from mulga wood. Mulga is a shrub or small tree native to arid outback areas. It has adapted to its environment and makes sure it captures all rain and moisture. Accordingly, sheep and cattle love it, as do bees for its flowers. Humans, also, use it as a good source of firewood as well as a wood to make implements and … boomerangs. There is a kangaroo decal at the center just in case you didn’t know where it came from. Rockhampton has been etched into the boomerang off-center, and, perhaps, as an afterthought.<\/p>\n
