Boomerangs had a number of purposes.
Hunting boomerangs came in two forms. One form was non-returning, and these boomerangs were thrown with force at an animal, usually at its legs so that it was temporarily disabled, then killed with a spear. The other form was returning, and these boomerangs were used for herding birds or animals towards a particular location where they could then be caught easily.
Boomerangs were also used in ceremonies and corroborees. Such ceremonial boomerangs had a significant role in retelling of the aboriginal 'Dreamtime' stories, and were painted in such a way as to render the main details of an event. These paintings were then rubbed off after the ceremony or corroboree, and reused on another occasion. These boomerangs might also be used as clap-sticks around a campfire.
Boomerangs could be a practical tool, often used by the women as digging sticks.
