Hi Ric.
Technically...my first year as an 'Aussie' doesn't tick over until April 27.

The first 9 months have been great, though
It felt good to go through the ceremony, and all the lead-up to the big day.
The process was enjoyable. It really forced me to think about what I was doing and why? In a lot of ways I think it forced me to spend more time thinking about Australia and what it means to me than a lot of Australian-born 'Aussies' spend doing the same. And I don't mean to offend anyone by saying that.
I'm glad I made the decision. I'm glad I made a choice and a commitment. I am proud to be counted among Australians.
I've lived here 24 years. This is my home.
