Abstract:
J. Tankard of the A.W.V office in Northam is writing to E.H Barker of Trade Hall in Perth with a donation to the museum of a boomerang collected in 1922 at Myroodah Station on the Fitrzroy River, from two "natives of the River Tribes". They
came from the desert about 150 miles southeast of the station and had lived mostly on lizards and hawks.  They carried  as weapons the boomerangs, spears and a Nulla Nulla each.  The bomerang appeared to the author to be shaped like the head of a brolga.
