Sandhills Artefacts

Inspired by his father, an expert craftsman of boomerangs for hunting and throwing, Michael Lyons inherited the skills and patience to perfect the art of making boomerangs and artefacts with earthy colours and traditional designs.

A descendant of the Wiradjuri nation, Michael leads cultural tours around his traditional country, teaching about bush foods and survival. Michael also welcomes visitors to his workshop by the river on Bamblett Street, where he beautifully crafts his didgeridoos, boomerangs, coolamons, emu eggs, clap sticks, and other artefacts.
