To suggest that just because a motif is found in both Australia and Ilkley that it represents a boomerang sounds a bit lame to me as it ignores that fact that symbol occurs in many other places around the world and has been interpretted as a solar symbol for many different cultures.
In modern times and before the nazis took possession of the symbol it was used to signify good luck and was used as we would now use a four leaf clover.
