I don’t know if someone has already done this, but learning AUSLAN is on my list of things to do, so I though I’d compile a list of resources.

Auslan Signbank

The Auslan Signbank provides a dictionary and videos of Auslan signs, as well as links to classes

Sign Planet

Sign Planet has a whole bunch of work sheets, flash cards, games all based around Auslan, although some areas appear to require a subscription. It also has resources for NZSL, BSL and ASL.

RIDBC Auslan Tutor Key Signs

The Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children has an app, which includes   150 of the most common key phrases in Auslan, as well as videos on how to form the signs. It’s available for iOS here and Android here.

The RIDBC also has a more comprehensive Tutor app, which is $20 for Android, and $39.99 for iOS

The creator of Cleverman on why it's been seven years in the making

For more than a decade, musical comedy group Axis of Awesome have sold out shows in Australia, Europe and the United States. Best known for ‘Four Chord Song’, they’ve released six albums and clocked over 120 million hits online.

But for a band with such a high profile, their singer, Jordan Raskopoulos had been keeping a secret for 32 years.

A month ago, after a year away from the touring circuit, Jordan uploaded a video to the band’s YouTube channel in response to fans questioning what had happened to the signature facial hair.

“The truth of the matter is there’s a very good reason for why I got rid of my beard,” read Jordan. “I am transgender. No shit. I’m a girl.”

YOU GUYS, I HAVE WATCHED THIS THREE TIMES SINCE IT AIRED LAST NIGHT AND IT JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER!
