No offense, Geoff--my father-in-law spent a couple of years in Darwin in the early 40's and told me once he loved the place, despite the odd visit from the Japanese Air Force. Came back with an honest-to-God Aussie slouch hat with Australian Commonwealth Military forces badge which he swore he got off an honest-to-god Eighth Army vet, and a box full of Aussie pennies the size of manhole covers, both of which we inherited with delight. It's a great hat for camping and canoeing--keeps the bugs and the sun out of my eyes, but not off my left ear.
