The boomerang is the first flying instrument heavier than air to have been invented by man.
Generally, boomerangs are made from a piece of wood cut from an acacia or eucalyptus branch. The shape is first drawn with an axe, then heated over a wood fire, curved to take its familiar form. Finally, the boomerang is worked with a flint, polished and then sometimes painted. Aboriginal people had multiple uses for the boomerang: hunting, gambling and music. Thus, the boomerang can take different forms for its uses.
