This Aussie Hook is one of the first 3 boomerangs that I purchased from the Boomerang Man catalog in 1975. The underside of the elbow has "The Boomerang Man" stamped on it and the upper surface was painted by Richard Harrison, probably because it came from Australia without art. I found out later that Richard has purchased it wholesale from Duncan McLennan and Joe Timbery's family made most of the boomerangs for his shop in Sydney Australia. It was made out of Aussie plywood, perhaps Coachwood as it is very attractive. This boomerang was part of my personal throwing kit for many years. It was one of the first boomerangs that I copied to study the effects of scale, thickness, density and weights. It has a low and circular flight with a range of about 30 metres. It has light wear because I threw it thousands of times over the years. There is a small chip on the underside of the dingle arm tip. That is the way it arrived when purchased and it doesn't affect the flight or strength of this boomerang. One of my favorites from my early years as a novice.
