A radical, illustrated weekly, founded by William Lane and Alfred Walker, The Boomerang published stories, poetry, social and sporting notes and cartoons. Henry Lawson and A. G. Stephens were both staff members - Lawson writing a column called 'Country Crumbs'. Lawson's retrenchment from The Boomerang is the subject of his poem 'The Shame of Going Back'; the demise of the publication may have inspired the poem 'The Cambaroora Star'.
