 The nulla nulla was made with timber and you carved
it into the shape. Some nulla nullas had a stone head
attached. They were about 1 metre in length.
 The nulla nulla is used by holding it in one of your
hands then bashing the animal or person over the
head to knock it out or kill it
 The nulla nulla has changed over time new heads have
been made some nulla nullas now have a flat heads or
heads made just to kill the animal.
 Yes there were a few different designs I only know of
one which is the knob headed design.
 Aboriginal people used them in battle. There is such
thing of when there was a battle between two tribs
they would select a person to get rid of all there
wepons except a shield and a nulla nulla.
 By most of my information it was not the most
important tool for traditional people but it was a great
battle tool.
 Some people still use them today but only in certain
places. There are no places that I know of that are
around our area.
 Did you know that there were designs on some of the
nulla nulla that had the emu and kangaroo. Aborigines
burnt a line in the head of the nulla nulla.
 The sites we went on were Wikipedia and indigenous
Australians. They gave us all the information.
