At least you Aussie make good hats - it's next to impossible trying
to find a nice, wide-brimmed hat here in Finland.

Yesterday I looked at how I can order a kangaroo Barmah hat. I bought one
a couple of years ago when we visited Australia, but mine has visibly
degraded by the daily use. Well, not in the winter, it's now -4°C here,
with a bit of snow on the ground, so it's a bit cold for that kind of
hat. 

It seems I can order one from the internet, so I think I'll do that.
