MEANING OF GESTURES
Thumbs Up In Australia it is considered a rude gesture having a meaning
similar to that of a raised middle finger. Similarly, a "peace sign" with the palm of the hand facing the communicator is considered a rude, vulgar gesture in Australia. A "peace sign" with the palm out means "peace" or "victory," as in North America.
Winking For a man to wink at a woman would generally be considered
inappropriate in Australia. In Australia it is often considered too suggestive.
Placing a Glass Squarely on the Bar
In Australia this gesture is a way of saying that a person may want to fight.

SPEED LIMIT AND CRIME RATE Speed Limits in Australia range from 10 kilometers per hour
(6.2 mph) shared zones to 130 kilometers per hour (81 mph). Speed limit signage is in km/h since metrication on 1 July 1974. All speed limits (with the sole exception of the South Australian school and roadwork zones which are signposted at 25 km/h) are multiples of 10 km/h – the last digit in all speed signs is zero. Advisory speed signs for curves or other road obstacles generally end in the digit five.
Australia’s crime rate is 2.5%. Australia has one of the lowest crime rates as a country.
