Walking down the street here, you might think that everybody is REALLY friendly for all the waving they're doing. Well... they might be friendly, but that's not why they're waving! When the temps warm up down here, bush flies are everywhere, and walking around I find everybody, myself included, waving their hand in front of their face to prevent them from landing on your face. I wish I had a hat like this guy does (pictured at the right). Anyway, this has become so common they call it the "Aussie Wave" or the "Aussie Salute." It even has its own Wikipedia entry.
