Description
English: All over Aboriginal Australia, men, youths and sometimes boys play games where they try to spear moving targets. Often the targets are round discs of bark. In the Humbert River area two sides take it in turns to spear the disc rolled in front of them. Games such as this help the younger players develop their spear-throwing skills.
