Tonight it finally happened. I saw someone on the street wearing one of those Akubra hats with corks on it. I thought only the occassional tourist and some Aussies at Global Villages wore them. But this dude was wearing business clothes, reading a novel, and walking down North Terrace.

Then again, the fly population this year is really high for some reason, and he did seem pretty comfortable just flicking his head every now and again to keep them away. Maybe he'll start a trend...?
