Brother Brian Thomas was Australia's ambassador to the world of boomerangs for more than three decades. Brian was the glue that held the Aussies together and for his services, the Boomerang Association of Australia (BAA) gave him the title of National Boomerang Coach. Brian was also the editor of the BAA newsletter for many years. The newsletter issues that Brian produced remain valuable historical records of what happened in Australian during the golden age of boomerangs (1960s through the 1980s). Brian was also a boomerang collector. He appreciated boomerangs made by fine craftsman like the Janetzki Brothers and Herb Smith long before anyone else did and over the years, his collection became quite valuable. Brian also made a very limited number of boomerangs. Collectors are always happy to have examples of Brian's boomerangs in their collections.

This throwing kit comes from the Brother Brian Thomas estate. It is filled with small lighter weight boomerangs. There are 6 Balsawood cross sticks, all brightly colored. Some are held together with rubber bands and some are glued. There is a Balsawood lapped two blader amd five light weight outdoor models. All are in good condition except for the flaired V, second from bottom on right, which has a repair. The container is old suede or fake leather and has wear, some holes, a loss of thread in some areas and rough zippers, but is still very functional. Brian painted a bright red traditional boomerang on one side. Overall, this is an unusual collectable directly from the Brother Brian Thomas estate.
