Advance Australia Fair

It's Australia Day - a day set aside when we contemplate and celebrate all the things that make this country great. It's a lovely holiday.

I'd hoped that today would be extra special for me - that I'd actually become an Australian citizen today - but it was not to be. The shire I live in apparently is not having a citizenship ceremony today - and I have to wait until the shire schedules one.

A slight disappointment, but it's OK. I'm still so happy to be here, so happy knowing that my application for citizenship is approved and all we have to do is wait. Eventually I'll get that letter from the shire telling me when the ceremony is.

And in the meantime -
Aussie Aussie Aussie!
