Shoofly

Even saying the names of the places we're from, like Bungle Bungle, brings a smile to the face. And when someone from Wollongong greets a friend from Kununurra, they usually do so with the 'Great Aussie Salute' - a hand waved casually across one's face to shoo the expected flies. This common gesture captures Australians' knack for brushing away life's little distractions, giving everything our best shot and finding some time to enjoy each day.
