“This specialised weapon is unique to the Kaiadilt people. Made from a single piece of wood and sharpened at both ends, one end usually shorter than the other, but balanced evenly for throwing at the target. The Jardiyali could be used to throw both in mid-air or along the ground, spinning the entire journey, until the sharp ends hit the intended target. When not in use as a weapon, it was also handy for digging the ground up.”
