This is a very large traditional boomerang made out of Coachwood and painted with Ochre colors on both surfaces. The lower surface has the Gundawarra logo stamped in gold ink and with "SENIOR", which is the name of the model. " Cairns, Queensland " is written in white on the upper surface. This is the city where this model was sold. This boomerang is the same model as the Gundawarra " 635 ", but with different art. This boomerang is a very good flyer and the flight range is 30+ metres. It does take a medium hard throw because of its large size. Excellent condition and a great collectible.

Gundawarra is the brand name of a very high quality commercial boomerang manufactured in Wedderburn, Victoria,Australia. I think that the name of the manufacturer was Hamish Robb? The Boomerang Man sold Gundawarra boomerangs in the 1970s and 1980s. Most were made out of Coachwood which had a beautiful grain and came from the rain forests of Queensland. It has been illegal to harvest Coachwood for the past 3 decades, so older boomerangs made out of this hardwood are quite valuable. Most were decorated with very fine hot poker artwork depicting Australian animals. The model names of the Gundawarra boomerangs were often the same as the artwork depicted on the surface. Some of these boomerangs were painted in traditional ochre colors and stamped with a gold label on the back. All of these were very high quality products and most were very good flyers. I cherish the ones in my personal collection.
