He shared his experiences with the TransCare Local Outings group at the Linga Longa Inn Hotel in Gundy, as well as intriguing the crowd with stories and knowledge about indigenous culture.

The Muswellbrook raised Scone local was an Australian champion at boomerang throwing during the 1980s and 90s, making a comeback to the sport last year to win yet another national title.

He's also acted alongside the likes of Mia Farrow and Jason Robards, as well as climbing and hitch hiking through some of the world's most remote and exotic places, meaning he has certainly enjoyed an eventful life.

Ahead of his speech on Wednesday morning, he took time to explain why he still enjoys doing small events sometimes.

"I love doing these kinds of things, I spoke at a school over Easter and a few other libraries in July and I've done a lot of these overseas in other countries," said the 68-year-old.

"I'm going to to give a talk and show examples of Aboriginal and modern boomerangs that we use in our sport."

He's not the only one who appreciated the event, with members of the crowd speaking about how they relished the chance to get out and attend.

"It's a lovely day out and you meet a lot of friends and a lot of new people, instead of just sitting at home," said Scone's Joan Collison.

"It's very interesting because I've never seen it before."

The only downside to the day was that Mr Bryden was unable to give demonstrations due the wet weather, although he acknowledged that it was pleasing to see some heavy rain.
