Half mast.

I don't know why the flag is half mast but the rest stop here in the tiny town of  Jambin which the local CWA has some input to is very nice.
Naturally when we were here the ambiance was ruined by a pair of travellers, one yacking on a phone, and another stinking the place up with a cigarette, which naturally was tossed on the ground afterwards, but at least the air cleared a bit after that.
