>>8631854I never realised how bad flies are here until I lived in the US for a couple of years and noticed the complete absence of them and how windows don't have fly screens.
Mind you, if you want to see a lot of flies you need to head into the outback. I've been to some places where you need to wear a beekeeper hat to stop them from crawling into your eyes, nostrils, mouth and ears. Not even dousing yourself in insect repellant (another Australian invention) will keep them away.
