The Magic Boomerang
This black and white children's TV series from Australia centred
around Tom Thumbleton, a 13 year old boy living on an outback sheep
farm. He finds a magic boomerang which, in flight, can make everything
(including time) stand still. The boomerang then becomes the means of
dealing with villains and ne'er-do-wells.
The series was extremely conscious in its deployment of Australian
symbols which no doubt helped its marketing overseas. The series
screened in Australia on the ABC and was sold to Canada and Britain.
