Nonverbal communication plays a significant role in interactions each and every day. The use of nonverbal messages may vary among different cultures. After learning about intercultural communication and nonverbal communication codes and messages in college classrooms for four years, I applied my knowledge to real world experiences while studying abroad in Australia. Through the use of observations, field notes, and personal experiences, I have compiled an ethnography to describe what I've learned about the nonverbal communication codes that are part of the daily lives of Australians and those that visit the land down under.
