Everyone else had a boomerang too, in fact I was one of the few who went home without a boomerang!! When I arrived there was no one there but the natives, so I declared the room terra nullius and claimed it for Australia!
I got a boomerang, too. However, the best thing Pat gave me was a good screw!! BTW, we used it on our recent cruise. Much easier to pack than our larger "Magic Rabbit" corkscrew. Worked like a charm!
