Default Two interesting wooden spears...from where??

Hello all. These two spears have us stumped! The dark wood example we think could possibly be Australian Aboriginal, the other barbed type maybe from Papua? After much research we have no definite answers and ask the collective wisdom of the forum for help
The dark wood spear has a dense, hard wood tip very firmly attached to a lighter wood haft.
The lighter barbed spear has a nice and unusual grain pattern and has been well carved.
Dark wood spear overall length:106cm
Barked spear :150cm

We are unable to take full length pictures today due to bad light, they will follow asap!

Any opinions very welcome. Many thanks!
