Copyright

Uncle Wally Cooper

The weet weet was used in hunting (birds etc.) and also as a toy. Held at the thin end, it was whirled around the head and projected with force along the ground, where it skips along the ground for a considerable distance. This particular weet weet is from the Murray/Darling River region.
