Jack Byham was one of Australia's best known boomerang manufacturers. He was a real 'Crocodile Dundee' who spent a lot of time with the Aborigines. Jack made boomerangs and throwsticks using traditional Aboriginal methods and many of his products are mistaken for Aboriginal artifacts. Jack is most famous for his commercial boomerang products that were made over a half century between the Olympic Games in Perth (1956) and the 1990s. Jack made exceptional throwsticks and natural elbow boomerangs that are in high demand by Australian collectors.

This traditional boomerang was made out of Australian plywood and decorated with typical Byham art. The elbow has a scene depicting an Aborigine hunting a kangaroo in the bush. This boomerang was probably one of Jack's commercial products from the 1960s. These came mounted on a throwing instructions card (not included). This boomerang is a true returner and is in excellent condition. There are remnants of the glue/card interface on the reverse side. A really nice collectable.
