Presumably it was Betty Steele or one of her friends who made up the sign for ‘Australia' - you can think of the sign as picking up people in England and disposing of them by dropping them down in Australia. This video shows signs for the name of our country, Australia, and our sta

With the advent of technology, signs have arisen to help us talk about computers, internet and social media. Some of these signs, such as Glide, Instagram and Skype, are newer, so there has been less standardisation across Australia. You may well encounter other signs for the same word, or you may need to fingerspell a word the first time you use its sign, to ensure the person you are speaking with understands you. * computer * internet * text message (2 signs) * facebook * instagram * iPhone *
