Last night, myself and 994 others became Australia's newest citizens at the exhibition centre in South Bank. I was so proud to be one of the many nationalities taking part in the ceremony and grinned all the way through it (although it was a little tough for one of us to grin at certain times!) Unfortunately I don't get to vote in the upcoming election as it's just a bit too late to process... but the NEXT election.... watch out!
We are one, but we are many
And from all the lands on earth we come
We share a dream and sing with one voice:
I am, you are, we are Australian
Ah, congratulations Cara! That's wonderful! I had no idea you were planning on being a citizen. Good on you all!
