Aussie salute
The Aussie salute, also known as the Barcoo salute (after the Barcoo River) or Bush salute is the waving of one's hand in front of the face at regular intervals in order to prevent bush flies from landing on it, or entering one's nose or mouth. Pianka characterizes it as a gesture that is "diagnostic of Australia".
