"The Aussie Salute" is a phrase for swatting flies away from your face. I had no idea there would be flies so annoying here. They're just like regular house flies in the US, but these things fly at your face and they're everywhere. And they don't stop flying at your face once you give them the good old salute. They just keep coming back for more. I have a theory about the flies. I think this country is too clean. Perhaps if there was more dog shit and trash laying around, they'd have somewhere else to go. I guess for a fly the next best place after trash and dog shit is the human face.

the persistant flies would explain the stereotypical Australian hat; the one with the broad brim and the little dingle balls hanging down all around it. Automaic fly shooer awayer.

Oh yeah, you can buy this net to wear over your head to keep the flies off of your face. I think you should buy one and walk around the city.
thanks for the hat ideas, but i think instead I am just going to start to litter. I'm thinking about the big picture. :)
