Little Boomey wines are named after the boomerang, which holds a special place in Australian history and contemporary culture.

Early boomerangs were non-returning, flat throwing sticks developed as hunting weapons by various Stone Age civilizations, including the Australian aborigines who began employing it more than ten thousand years ago. No one is certain how the returning boomerang was developed, but it is speculated that it was a Stone Age variation of the flat throwing stick and was used for recreation from the get-go. Although numerous cultures employed the boomerang - King Tut even had his own collection - it is most popularly associated with Australia's aborigines, arguably because they best preserved it as part of their contemporary culture.

Some historians speculate that the boomerang grew from an ancient to a contemporary Australian tradition because early Aborigines did not use the bow and arrow, which replaced the boomerang as the preferred hunting weapon in many other primitive cultures. Thus the throwing stick, and its more recreational returning boomerang, continued to play an important role in Australian aboriginal cultures long after it had been forgotten by bow-and-arrow wielding societies.

As a result, the boomerang legacy and brilliancy was best developed and preserved by Australian communities. Today, as in the past, these curved, light, vibrantly painted returning sticks continue to symbolize the sporty, distinctive style and vibrant character of the Land Down Under.
