We rather like the simple yet complex lines and designs of Australian aboriginal weapons. We see very few examples in the Uk but having an interested in primitive living, it's hard not to be drawn to these fascinating yet often misrepresented items. So come along now ladies and gents...show us what you got!

Here are our two throwing clubs. We have been reliably informed that these are early SE Queensland types, and the larger has Interesting rat tooth fluting. Style indicated collected in Brisbane valley around 1840.
