Citizenship ceremony

[Guest sarahsmartiepants]

We did ours last night, we did it in the Onkaparinga area as our council had done their quota for the year.

Filled out the election forms at the end so will be able to vote!!!!!!

And they laid on a buffet after, didnt go near that though (I was good Corneilia). There was something that looked like FAIRY BREAD:huh:.

We also got a plant each, which was handy as I have some planting to do in the garden and would of had to go to bunnings, this has saved me the trip! But at about $240 a plant I think i would have got cheaper at Bunnings!

Congratulations Sarah and family! True Aussie citizens at last! Now one of you is going to have to have their nails done every other week and the other one of you has to grow a beard. I'll let you choose who does what!!!

Hey, thats great news Sarah!! So what's with the plant? Why do they give everyone a plant each? Has it some kind of symbolic meaning?

Its an australian plant so you can put down roots, my sis got a gum tree in tube.

[Guest Django]

Now you can get your aussie passport and next time you go through arrivals you can join the smallest queue.

 

Congrats on doing the do. How does this work with your children? Do they now automatically become citizens or do theu have a test to pass as well????

Far too early for me being English, what?. Sun doesn't hit the yard arm for another 75 minutes.

Many, hearty congratulations on the citizenship...something a lot of us are still aspiring to. Can I just check for future reference? It is five years you have to live here before you can apply, isn't it? (GULP, got to get the PR first!)

Thanks,

Deb x

[Guest Devon]

CONGRATULATIONS!

So it was worth walking through the market for then to get a free plant?

Hoping to see you soon but have had to postpone my flight so will be a bit longer than anticipated.

 

At this rate I'll have missed winter doesn't make up for missing B and your cheeky son though!!!!!

[Rachiegarlo]

when a parent applies for citizenship the kids can be put on the application. Kids can apply in their own right from 16.

[Guest sarahsmartiepants]

From 18 up you must sit the test costing $240, between 16and 18 you do an "interview":biglaugh:, they ask no questions but for that it is $120.

We had PR visa so waited 2 yrs to apply.
