The Australian Salute
The
Australian Salute
Before I visited
Australia, an Australian friend in London told me I'd learn
"the Australian salute". "What's that?"
I asked. "You'll find out when you get there," he
said. I arrived in Perth last week. Since then, I
have been staying at a nice hotel near a beautiful
beach. I have never visited Australia before and I am
enjoying my stay. I have been swimming every day from
the time I arrived. Yesterday an Australian friend
suggested a tour into the "bush". I
agreed at once. The first thing I noticed when we
were in the bush were the flies. After a while I remembered the
conversation I had had in London before I came here.
"What's the "Australian salute"?" I asked suddenly,
as I waved my right arm to keep the flies away.
"That's it!" my friend said as he waved back!
