Suspenders versus Braces

Our Forestry Presentation to the Rotary Clubs of Warrnambool. Left to right are Dave, Jill, Koshare, Kim, and Ben. We start each presentation wearing our uniform jackets. Then, part way through the presentation, we take off our jackets to reveal our westcoast logger's attire that we've brought along with us! After our first presentation, we quickly learned not to refer to these as our "suspenders" because that is the term that Australians use to describe the devices that hold up ladies' stockings! For the remainder of our trip, we are now referring to them as "braces" because that is the Australian term for what we call suspenders!
