Jack Byham was one of Australia's best known boomerang manufacturers. He was a real 'Crocodile Dundee' who spent a lot of time with the Aborigines. Jack made boomerangs and throwsticks using traditional Aboriginal methods and many of his products have been mistaken as Aboriginal artifacts. Jack is most famous for his commercial boomerang products that were made over a half century between the Olympic Games in Melbourne (1956) and the 1990s. Jack made exceptional throwsticks and natural elbow boomerangs and these are in high demand by Australian collectors.

This large traditional boomerang was made out of Australian plywood and decorated with typical Byham art. The elbow has a scene depicting two kangaroos traveling in the bush. This boomerang was probably one of Jack's commercial products, made in the 1960s or 1970s. This boomerang is a true returner and it is in excellent condition. The underside has a Binghi Boomerang sticker affixed to the elbow.
