Backyard antics

In the state of Queensland, life continues much as it always has. The inhabitants of the city of Brisbane continue to live in dwellings that are primarily one level high. The dwellings retain that space behind them, in which grass grows (when the land is not in drought), known as the backyard. Amusements in the backyard are simple but enjoyed by all the family together.

So here's me joining in. Discerning viewers will note that I shoo my sister further out of the way in the beginning, not being quite sure where I was going to end up, then baulk on take-off and pitch too low (because in that moment when I was required to launch into thin air it all seemed rather more disconcerting than previously anticipated), but execute the rest with startling grace and poise.

Note: subsequent attempts were performed with greater height and confidence.
