All these pictures may make the area look beautiful, but what it doesn't show are the very annoying flies. They don't bite, but they do buzz around your hend and land on your eyes and mouth and try to fly into you nose. Krista bought a special fly hat to protect herself. Her mother resorted to wearing a laundry bag, and her father swatted them with a towel. They may seem like a minor nuisance, but they are a major annoyance. You spend so much time batting them away that the locals call the wave the 'australian bush greeting'.
