In \u003ci\u003eAkubra Is Australian for Hat\u003c\/i\u003e, Grenville Turner takes us on a journey with this unique Australian institution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAussies have lived, loved, and died under their Akubras, and wearing one has been a longstanding tradition throughout the continent. The Akubra does it all. It provides shade from the harsh Australian sun, works as a fan on a hot day, keeps snakes at bay, serves as a water jug for a horse, and swats away flies. It can even be worn as a hat. Go figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book isn't just about history. Its tone is witty and lighthearted, and breathes that famous Aussie attitude--you'll have no worries as long as you have your Akubra in hand (or on head.) \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Andrews McMeel Publishing, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47107477438704,"sku":"9780740798504","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780740798504_p0.jpg?v=1763630791","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780740798504","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
