Australian outback hats were made famous by movies like Crocodile Dundee and The Man from Snowy River. This hat has a wide brim that dips down in the front and the back which gives excellent protection from the sun and rain. Australia is a country of harsh extremes and a hard wearing hat is necessary. Most of our outback hats are tough enough to fan the fire and water your horse with. Many of them are handmade in Australia.
