Miss. Leonora's First Solo Flight

Now before you are all reaching for your 'Birdwatcher's Field Guide to Australian Birds' let me assure you this is not at all avian. This is Miss. Leonora testing Professor Hedgewick's patent 'Stretchy-rope-swing-thingy' for the first time between two of the 3 Sisters at Echo Point recently.

Braving the elements, and who knows what else, she ascended the human support ladder that the Professor had kindly assembled from bedazzled onlookers and rested her posterior in the 'Stretchy-rope-swing-thingy' and began to swing rhythmically aided by the exuberant sounds of the Katoomba Police Brass Band.

From there it was all plain sailing, or swinging as it were, and these images tell their own story.

However, I do have my doubts about whether the following images are also ones of Miss. Leonora or of a passing fruit bat trying its hand. or rather wing, on the Professor's amazing invention! I shall leave it up to the viewer's individual musings.
