Boomerangs

At first sight, the arrangement of these boomerangs (回力標) looks like our ribs inside our chests. They were displayed inside a shop at Manly Beach of Sydney in Australia. They ranged from small ones to large ones and priced at around A$20. They were so beautifully painted that I believed the buyers would not throw them in the open, but keep them as souvenirs.

At Tobruk Sheep Station in Sydney, the assistant said that they made their boomerangs themselves and sold them at A$20 each too. In comparison to those at Manly Beach, these boomerangs were mainly for throwing and did not look attractive at all.

Before leaving Australia, Philip bought home a small boomerang from a market in Sydney Proper. It was just A$3 to A$4, far cheaper than those at Manly Beach and Tobruk Sheep Station.
