Have you ever wanted to throw a boomerang? If so, visit Bill
Onus at Aboriginal Enterprises. Monbulk Road, Belgrave. (Belgrave, [1959])
Bill Onus (1906-1968) was an Aboriginal activist and
promoter of Aboriginal culture. He was the person who organised the “Aboriginal
Moomba: out of the dark” for the 1950 celebrations and suggested the word
“Moomba” for the annual Melbourne celebration. When Harry Belafonte visited
Melbourne in 1958 he was filmed learning to throw a boomerang outside the
Belgrave shop.
