Indigenous Australians traditionally made spears using locally sourced materials, primarily wood from trees like the stringybark or mulga. They would shape the shaft by carving and smoothing the wood, often using stone tools. For added effectiveness, some spears were fitted with stone or bone tips, which were attached using natural adhesives and bindings. The spears were often decorated and designed for specific purposes, such as hunting or fishing.
