The Aussies do have a somewhat 'individual' approach to casual wear....
Shivering in a light pullover at a Brit barbi' once, an Oz mate remarked to his host that he was more used to warmer climes and normally Aussies "Just wear singlets and thongs at a barbi'...."
She was somewhat taken aback at this, until it was explained that 'thongs' are the Aussie name for flip-flop beach shoes!
Enjoy Big Island, West Coast!
Many years ago, our 'helpful' HQ staff made the accommodation booking for us. Arriving at the Hilton, we were told that they had no record of any such booking. "Have you got 16 rooms available?", they were asked. "Yes sir", so we duly booked in.
Some weeks later, a rather terse note arrived from Hilton demanding to know why we'd been 'no show' for the bookings. Then the penny dropped - our HQ people didn't realise that Hickam was on Oahu, so rather than the Hilton Hawaiian on Waikiki, they'd booked the Hilton on Hawaii aka 'Big Island'...... Quite a large bill for that up-cock!!
I just checked my Aloha shirt and can report that it was Made in the USA by DeeCee!!
