oooOOOooo goody another aussie here! 
to Alldeaf! Nah you are not too old to join this forum.
I am 48 yrs old here and am from Perth! At first when I joined, I thought I was too old to join. Like you, I was born deaf. I was taught orally with sign language forbidden in the classroom for HOH but I learnt auslan while I was a boarder at a Deaf school. Then I was moved to a hearing school in a country town where my parents lives when I was 11 yrs old. I am married to a hearing man and he doesn't sign. I can talk very well to be understood and I loves listening to music. Anyway, enjoy posting and browsing in alldeaf. See ya around.
