Best Answer

Rocky Boomer did not invent the boomerang. Boomerang-like devices, including hunting sticks, have been used all over the world for hunting, religious and recreational activities. Their origin is still not fully clear. Research has shown that ancient tribes in Europe used special throwing axes Also, in ancient Egypt a special type of stick was exclusively used by the pharaohs for hunting birds However, the world famous "country of the boomerang" is Australia, where the Australian Aborigines have used both boomerangs and hunting sticks for many thousands of years. The name of the boomerang comes from the Indigenous Australian Turuwal tribe of Aborigines who lived south of Sydney, Australia. They were also mistakenly referred to as a woomerang, in confusion with the woomera throwing-sticks
