Some ancient languages read in vertical columns. I believe one is a
version of ancient Egyptian used on tombs and such. There are several
variations that might be possible in some of these ancient languages.
One might read vertical columns from top to bottom or bottom to top.
One might start reading columns on the left or right. I guess for
Australia, you might want to read from down to up. Then you would want
to start on the right if you are conservative and on the left if you
are liberal :-) .
