  For two related examples see Philip Jones, Boomerang; Behind an Australian Icon, Ten Speed Press, California, 1997, pp. 52-53, where he describes the illustrated examples as being from Broome, Western Australia. The minimalistic incised designs on this boomerang indicate a more south-east origin, possibly South Australia, making this a very scarce example.
