- 22. Non Verbal Communication Non-Verbal Communication has a lot of different elements that are encompasses in Australian culture. In Australia they like their personal space and they will stay about an arms length away when they are having a conversation. When people from the cities or more modern Australian people talk eye contact is valued and shows a level of respect and trustworthiness. Eye contact is a little different when it comes to the Aborigines in Australia. The Aborigines do not like too much eye contact and view it as a form of confrontation. Shaking hands upon meeting or in a business atmosphere is completely acceptable. Hugging or kissing on the cheek is something the Australians keep for those who they have a very close relationship with.
