Not much into musical instrument history but for boomerang(throwing stick) and woomera(projectile launcher) the only thing they invented was their names for them.

Hargreaves gave his glider-wing data to the Wright brothers who said nothing. They used a later plane to claim a flight in 1903 (which failed). Pearse of New Zealand flew first in 1903. The US invented sex, loudness, sex and US.

And ...

Weirs and fish traps

Aboriginal people demonstrated a sophisticated understanding of engineering, physics and aquaculture in the design of elaborate stone fish traps in NSW, and the 100 sq.km eel farm at Lake Condah in Victoria. They made these fish farms by creating complex systems of canals, linked weirs and ponds out of river stones. Lake Condah shows evidence of a very large, settled community that harvested and smoked eels to trade. Some of Australia’s Aboriginal fish traps are thought to be up to 40,000 years old. They may be some of the oldest surviving human-made structures in the world.

The excuse for Aboriginal indolence?

James Harrison, an Australian, developed a refrigeration system in 1854 for commercial cooling of beer. He saved generations of suffering women from holding packs of ice around the beer and choking on the fag fumes. Today, only aquascoot goes down on his knees at the sight of a frig, an alpha male and Hills Hoists.

He wouldn't flog a dead horse.

The polymer bank notes…. our most colourful money…
When in China, a shop assistant wanted to do an exchange of their money for my Aussie notes.
Then in Canada the same thing… an exchange happened.
And….in California while sharing a Uber van with a couple black Americans… we swapped money… their money is all the same grey colour. Have to look twice if it’s $1 or $100

But show your colourful Aussie bank notes to anyone overseas and they love it! It gives me such delight!

I will be bringing heaps of $5, $10 and $20 to do more swapping when I go to UK and Europe later in year.

We export polymer notes to about 25 different countries

The Governor-General will betray old Britain on behalf of the Australian People.
The Prime Minister though, will betray Australia on behalf of the USA (and escape in a helicopter like most 'usa' Dictators do).
...that's if the Governor-General doesn't kill him first. 

What a great invention Future-History is.

No ...... it came in at no.9

Only useful to those with enough money to engage in the snobby sport of sailing.

By far & away the best were the advancements of medical invention regarding penicillin, spray on skin and cochlear implants & pacemaker.

Even the black box recorder is better but I don't believe a No.1.

After all its use is limited into gathering information about mechanical/electronic failures to work out why people have died/been killed in an accident. Usually aircraft.

I know. What's wrong with a bit of crime? It keeps the chodes on their toes, no?

Mass shootings, gangland killings, insurrection. Australia's so boring.

Why can't we be more like the Americans?

Stop whining. You wouldn't be here if it wasn't for our wonderful inventions.

There you go, leftards, the wine cask. Put it down.

Not sure why they're singled out as special these days.

Maybe the Australian 1988 $10 note - the world's first polymer note - deserves to be a standout, but many countries now have colourful polymer banknotes.

The International Banknote Society's Banknote of the Year has been awarded to polymer notes from the Philippines (2022), Mexico (2021 and 2020), Canada (2018), New Zealand (2015) Trinidad & Tobago (2014) and Samoa (2008).

Australia, the birthplace of the polymer note, has never won.

And nevermind that typo that was picked up on our new polymer $50 note - 'responsiblty'.

LOL, one somewhat anti-Australian yank homebrewer didn’t want to admit an Australian had invented the black box recorder 

Ah well, he is dead now—regular 2 packets a day smoker.
