Today’s ‘Yesterday’s Australia’ segment is courtesy of our dear member @lindawentshopping. She posted this lovely memory with us in our forum as part of our Nostalgia Competition: ‘One of my earliest happy memories was of the giddy euphoria I felt when my squeals of delightful terror, pleading ‘Higher! Higher! Push me higher’ were answered with a firm adult hand pressed into my tiny four-year-old back as I flew through the air on a rope & plank swing that hung from the giant bough of the ancient plum tree in our backyard in Merrylands, in suburban Sydney. I hardly ever closed my eyes when I was in that swing. I used to hold on for dear life and lean back as far as I could, just a little bit beyond safe, just until it felt a little dangerous, and I could catch glimpses of the sky through the tree’s purple leaves.’ Click here to read the rest of this lovely memory.
Ah, this brings back so many memories: the thrill of the swing, the smell of the plums, the sound of the kids’ laughter - all so vivid and clear. We can all relate to the feeling of being a kid and having the world at our fingertips. Thank you for sharing this with us, @lindawentshopping!
