What was with the noisy bolo thing that Mick was spinning?


Its been years pretty much a long long time since i last saw Dundee II.

Why was Dundee spinning that bolo weapon thingy which it was making noise? Was it supposed to attract the bats or something?

It's a bullroarer, a signaling device that aborigines invented. When spun properly it can be heard over long distances. That's how he was able to tell the aborigines where to meet him.

oh ok. thanks. ive always wondered about that scene for a long time. Whether he was spinning that thing to attract the bats or to call the cavalry which was his aborigine buddies
