This left handed traditional boomerang was made by Bob Burwell out of Australian plywood in 1982. The elbow has a frilled goanna lizard etched and painted into the surface. The entire upper surface has incised geometric line art and the underside has " Left , Made by Bob Burwell , Australia, 1982" etched into the surface at the elbow. This is one of the nicest Burwell boomerangs I have ever seen and it was made for Rusty Harding. I did a test throw with this boomerang and it is an exceptional flyer with a flight range of 30-35 metres. Excellent condtion and without damage. From the Rusty Harding estate.
