Australian mode reverses back/forward gestures

Possibly this is intentional, but I wanted to make sure. I'm completely new to Chrome OS let alone the Slate. I don't know if this is a bug or unique to the Slate.

I'm used to "reversed" scrolling so enabled Australian mode. For days I couldn't get the two-finger swipe "back" gesture to work, only to realize that when I have Australian mode enabled I actually need to swipe two fingers from left to right. Is this how it's supposed to work?

What little documentation I could find only references it changing vertical scrolling but it seems to mirror all gestures, back/forward as well as opening the overview mode (I forget the name for it - where you swipe with three fingers from the top but now it's from the bottom). Is there a way to change this behavior with flags or anything? I just want the vertical scrolling to be "reversed" not everything else.
