 Aborigines used the arrows and javelins. The tips were made of trees or stones. The tip was used only once, because it was so sharp and thin so it easily went into the prey and was destroyed by one throw. But they also had the world famous boomerang. There are two types, one that comes back, and one that won’t come back. Boomeranger is very difficult to use, and it required a lot of work. It was used to capture birds. Before the hunt, they had spread themselves with clay, to eliminate their body odour. Then they were ready. Aborigines are very talented trackers, and they often help the police find criminals today. They used to shoot animals in the legs, which are animals' weak point. Aborigines had knowledge about nature and how it could be exploited, their strongest survival gear.
