I have seen another Aboriginal spear. This one was unpainted and about 9 feet in length. If used for war, I would guess they would throw them, they would be too flimsy to just to keep the enemy at bay.
The Hawaiian long spear that were 15 feet in length were used to keep their opponents at bay, too long and heavy to be thrown, my guess.
