Hi Dep. Many thanks for your comment. It seems that Akubra is still going strong, even during the pandemic. They have a great range of hats and the challenge will be in choosing which hat to get.
Cheers,
Rob.

Hi Rob,
Watching this podcast, I have an impulse to buy a Akubra for myself right away. I looked for them online in China and the average price per Akubra is around 1,400 yuan, equivalent to around $300. It’s twice as expensive as in Australia. I’ll buy it when I go back to Australia anyway. In addition, I want to see if Akubra had a difficult time by the pandemic. Really hope it is doing well!
Thanks for sharing. I’m going through the podcasts, even though I’m a slow reader.

G’ Day Rob – I’m writing from the USA. Do you happen to know the origin of the word Akubra? That is, from which aboriginal community and language? Thanks.

Hi Julie,

Many thanks for your kind message. The story of the Akubra hat certainly is an interesting one.

I love wearing my Akubra. It gives me such great shade from the hot sun and it also looks great.

Thanks for listening to my podcast.
Have a great day.

Dear Rob

What was such an interesting topic! I felt so excited to know about the Akubra hat – a great Australian icon. I saw many people wore it but I didn’t know the story of that up to now…

Thank you so much for your program which help me understand more about Australian day by day. I definitely tried to go through each of your podcasts and can’t wait to discover more.

I really appreciate what you are doing and I wish you all the best to keep continuing your great work.

Cheers
Julie

Hey, Rob, the link http://www.akubra.com.au/index.html is broken. They probably moved or deleted the page you linked to.

The hat is very nice! Probably when hot summer the hat is not comfortable becouse it was made from rabbit’s fur it should be warm. Anyway the hat looks very nice! Thank you Rob for the interesting podcast. Can you tell about wearing clothes Australians. What they prefer to wear most of Australians. What do you prefer and so on.
