Magnetic Island - Home of 'Backward Palm Frond Tossing'

Magnetic Island. The home of the latest sporting craze, 'Backward Palm Frond Tossing'. You could become the next World Champion Tosser in the 2013 Season.

We were going to call it Flinging but flinging is more a forward, or sideways thing. Besides tossing sounds much more macho. Although Palm Frond Flinging does have a nice ring to it. And being a backward motion the action of successfully tossing requires a high degree of skill and focus. See footnote +.

As for the what, when, where and why? We'll publish more details as they come to hand.

My mother would win this easily because she had eyes in he back of her head

+ Footnote:
Any inference that our government is comprised of politicians and bureaucrats, call them Tossers, having a backward motion, is intentional but quite obscure.
