Totally Wild - Boomerang Making

Boomerang Making

Date:06/02/2009

Nat throws herself into the sport of Boomerang throwing and gets some handy hints of how to make one of these ancient creations.

To be the world Champion of any sport is pretty amazing. Very few people can claim to be one (and be telling the truth.)

Rob Croll on the other hand is a TWO TIME World Champ and a 10 time Australian Champion. No he's not a runner, a swimmer or a racing car driver… He's a boomerang thrower and recently I caught up with him and he taught me the tricks of the trade.

Apparently the best way to hold one of these ancient creations is the same as holding a pen! Rob makes his own boomerangs - he carves them from the root of a tree and then decorates them. They look really cool!

It's awesome to watch a professional throw a boomerang and have it come back into his hands almost every time. Well, that is, except for the time that it hit our camera man in the head! Ha ha ha, he wasn't hurt but I got a stitch from laughing so much.

Make sure you keep watching
