Boomerang Throwing At La Perouse
Laddie Timbery has a long association with the La Perouse area, being from the Bidjigal clan in the Eora Nation - the area now known as Sydney City and its southern area.
On Sundays, Laddie is at La Perouse to demonstrate boomerang throwing and clap sticks and gives a personal history of Aboriginal Australia. In particular, Laddie demonstrates the "Mangrove" - the original returning boomerang - local to La Perouse, Botany Bay and the South Coast of NSW.
Locally made boomerangs and other authentic aboriginal products are for sale.
About Laddie:
The Timbery family is thought to be descended from Pemulwuy (c.1750–1802). When the Uranie expedition under Louis de Freycinet visited Sydney between 18 November and 25 December 1819, artist Jacques Arago made lively, recognizable sketches of Aboriginal people, including Timbere, a member of the Five Islands Tribe, who was Laddie's direct ancestor.
Also of interest:
Laddie Timbery also has a retail outlet at Huskisson on the South Coast of NSW. Laddie Timbery Aboriginal Art and Crafts is located at the Lady Denman Museum. Members of the Timbery family regularly produce the art work and artefacts sold in the shop. Paintings, both traditional and contemporary are on offer, as is Laddie’s artwork. Laddie’s specialty is burning-in – a technique for burning designs into wood. Other family members are highly regarded for their shell art.
