L. Glauert is thanking J. Tankard of the A.W.U office in Northam for his donation of a boomerang collected in 1922 at Myroodah Station on the Fitrzroy River, from two "natives of the River Tribes". Mr. Glauert explained
that the boomerang was rarely found in Western Australia and was better known in the Northern Territory and Queensland. He recalls that Dr. Roth, in his work on the Queensland Aborigines, stated that this type of weapon was used in warfare and the object of the hook was to catch hold of a spear or club. Other specimens similar to this one are said to have been used for the killing of birds.
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.
