Aussie salute

Brushing away flies with your hand.

Apparently, this is used somewhere in Australia but I haven't heard of it and I live in WA. Sounds pretty backwater.

"Aussie salute" - Just another unintellectual way of expressing disdain for authority, when you think about it.

"Uh, yes, thank you."
