Rarely seen in Australia and best not used, you may be mistaken for a 'Pommie'.
A certain rude form of it is used by Greeks.
(Melbourne is the second biggest Greek town in the world).
More common is the upthrusting index finger, which I think, is a compliment on your driving skills.
With such a multicultural community, occasional, body-language miss-understandings occur.
(Did you hear of the Cronulla riots? Picture below.)
