Nulla Nulla Text

NULLA NULLA

The Nulla Nulla is one of the most deadly weapons, whether used at close quarters or thrown.  The shape may vary between tribes but is usually between half to one metre in length and can be used as a club or throwing stick.  The handle tapers to a sharp point near the handgrip, towards the other end the handle widens into a bulb.  Like the Boomerang, a Nulla Nulla could light a fire using the same method of spinning it quickly with downward pressure in the surface crack of a dry log and a spark was made. Nulla Nulla was basically a throwing stick.
