hello the middle club is a waddy a multi-purpose throwing digging and fighting club form central australia. the aboriginal clubs will many times have a rought surface on the tip of the handle this serves a practical purpose to stop it form slipping from your hand when you throw it but allowing a smooth release. if youve ever thrown a club youll notice clubs with pommels dont throw well and to smooth handles also dont work well if the tip is slippery.
.
probably mulga wood..
the bottom club the wide paddle shaped club is indeed form the solomon islands.
the top one i would suspect is a papuan sword club..
form which region my memory is poor but it looks familiar it should have a scored patter on its surface
