Duncan Maclennan has been the owner and operator of the Boomerang School in King's Cross, Sydney, Australia for several decades. He is well known for giving free boomerang throwing lessons at a park in Sydney every Sunday. The vast majority of his boomerang products are excellent flyers. In the early decades (1960s, 1970s), Duncan employed Aborigines, like Joe Timbery and his family, to make the boomerangs that were sold in his shop. In the 1980s and early 1990s, Duncan had some of his boomerangs manufactured in the Philippines out of Philippine Mahogany plywood. They have been made in Australia since the mid 1990s.

This large traditional boomerang was probably made in the early or mid 1970s out of Coachwood plywood. There is a very strong possibility that this traditional boomerang was made by Bunny Read and sold to Duncan Maclennan without Bunny's decorations or Wycheproof stamp because the material, size, shape and airfoiling are nearly identical to traditional boomerangs made by Bunny Read at that time. This traditional boomerang is well made and has good airfoiling. The reverse side has an oval logo stamped on the elbow that says " Boomerang School Sydney, Australia ". The entire upper surface was decorated with a combination of paint and pyrographic art by Brother Brian Mark Thomas and this boomerang was part of his estate. It is an excellent collectable and in wonderful condition. I gave this boomerang a test throw in calm, warm & humid conditions. It is a terrific flyer with a range of 20-25 metres.
