Away in the Dream Time, Yondi the warrior found the flat stick in the magic pool. With this stick he raised the sky, for in those days, the sky was close to the ground, and everything, both man and beast, crawled on the earth and only shrubs covered the land. When Yondi, with his great strength, pushed the sky up with the flat stick, which he had found in the pool, some of the water was taken up to the heavens and falling back to Earth turned into rain and clouds. The stunted shrubs grew into great trees and the birds, finding no food in the sky, glided back to earth, their shoulders turning into wings. The kangaroo stood up on his hind legs to see the strange new world and has stood up ever since. The emu, our largest bird, stretched his neck to see the strange sight that was unfolding before him. He ran so fast his legs grew very long and have stayed long to this very day. Now, all the animals who crept and crawled in the beginning were fast asleep when all this was happening and have crept and crawled ever since. When Yondi’s task was finished he threw away the flat stick which had become bent under the great weight of the sky every time he threw the stick away, it would return to him. And this is how the Aboriginals got the Boomerang.
