👉 The Queensland Weapon is a state-specific term in Australia, referring to the traditional firearms used by Indigenous Australians, particularly in Queensland. These weapons include a variety of hand-thrown projectile weapons such as boomerangs, spear-throwers, and throwing sticks, which were historically used for hunting, defense, and ceremonial purposes. While the term "weapon" might imply modern firearms, it more accurately denotes these ancient tools that were integral to Indigenous cultures and practices. The Queensland Weapon represents a significant aspect of Australia's indigenous heritage and is recognized as part of the broader Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural history.
