Used by tribal Aboriginals around Australia, the bullroarer is sometimes referred as the "Bush Telephone"...as a tongue-in-cheek description. When spun on the end of a string, it produces a deep roaring sound which carries over a long distance. Hence it was used as a communication device for thousands of years. Now you know why it is called the "bush telephone", mate!
This bullroarer is authentically hand-painted on both sides and measures 16 cm in length (about 6¼ inches) by 7.5 cm at its widest point (about 3 inches)
