    Default Very Proud Moment.

    It's with a great deal of pleasure and pride that I can announce that today my family and I finally became australian citizens.

    It is truly the lucky country and there is no where on this planet I would rather be and I am proud to call Australia and Melbourne Home.

    Just So proud at the ceremony this eveningm Swmbo and the little wood chipper also became citizens, the only downside was one drongo who did not switch there mobile phone off, strewth it was annoying and it was a sheila to boot.

    Cheers to All, Raising my glass to you all .

    Congratulations and thank you for choosing unlike many others to become one of us.

    And you're living in the 3rd largest Greek city.

    At the ceremony last night, the guy before me was 82 years old and had lived in Australia for 52 years and decided to become a citizen.

    Congrats mate.

    By the way, someone not turning their mobile off in an important ceremony is the most Australian thing they could do!

    Good on you, mate.
