The Flying Boomerangs are the underage Indigenous Australian Australian rules football team.
The team has played tests against the South African national Australian rules football team in both Australia and South Africa and more recently against an underage Papua New Guinea, the first international team to defeat them in Australian rules football.
The team is named after the aboriginal hunting tool, the boomerang. The senior equivalent team is the Indigenous All-Stars.
Apart from representing Australia in international Australian Rules Football, the Flying Boomerangs team members have gone on to play in the Australian Football League including Austin Wonaeamirri, Leroy Jetta, Malcolm Lynch, Cameron Stokes, Isaac Weetra and Nathan Krakouer.
The Flying Boomerangs have been featured nationally in a documentary on ABC TV during their tour to South Africa.

Famous quotes containing the word flying:
“Next week Reagan will probably announce that American scientists have discovered that the entire U.S. agricultural surplus can be compacted into a giant tomato one thousand miles across, which will be suspended above the Kremlin from a cluster of U.S. satellites flying in geosynchronous orbit. At the first sign of trouble the satellites will drop the tomato on the Kremlin, drowning the fractious Muscovites in ketchup.”
—Alexander Cockburn (b. 1941)
