Default The Aussie Wave

We discovered what this means today when we were cycling between Hillarys and Ocean Reef. The pesky things wouldn't leave us alone - especially our faces.

Is it because of al the sea weed on the beaches that there are so many flies near the beaches?

Probably sand-flies - basically midges. And they're near the beach because that's where they live.

I think you mean the "great Aussie salute". Usually referring to waving flies away in summer, but I suppose it can be associated with sand flies.
