Boomerangs are often associated exclusively with Australia. On the one hand, the history of the boomerang is not only limited to Australia (see our blog article on the history of the boomerang ) and on the other hand, boomerang outdoor sports are now widespread almost all over the world.
There are now national boomerang organizations in many countries, such as the German Boomerang Club in Germany ( https://www.bumerangclub.de ). 15 of these national boomerang organizations have joined forces in the IFBA. The "International Federation of Boomerang Associations" aims to get as many outdoor enthusiasts as possible interested in this great sport.
Another indication of the worldwide spread of the boomerang as an outdoor sports device is the large number of languages in which boomerangs or their translations are used. We have created an overview of various languages here.
