WOOMERA

The Woomera was made of hollow wood from a hollow tree.

It was used for making spears go faster and as a knife, chisel, graver, digging stick and for cutting cooked fish. It was also used for looking for grubs.

The Aboriginals who used it were young men, and men when hunting.

What you do with it is click it onto the spear. Then throw the spear. A spear launched by a woomera will go faster than it usually does.
