They also keep the hat afloat should you have a little too much Bundy. :wink:
Not a lot of point in just keeping the hat afloat :lol:

Do Aussie's drink alotta wine, or is cork used for other things?
We only use cork in our wines ... those cork hats are not worn generally - if that is what you are talking about? They might have done years ago in the outback - the corks are on the hat to keep the flies out of a persons face.
I figured as much, but when I read that description of why the hat had corks, I found it amusing and thought it would be worth the $5!

As for the corks, in 2001 the Girl Guides of Australia collected 16 million corks to recycle! :o That's a lot of corks!
