If she hasn't had the ops. (teeth drawn, brain taken out) she'll never be a true Aussie.:D:D
I do hope she doesn't adopt an awful accent which sounds similiar to a parrot being strangled!
Good luck now Keiren, you'll need it.:o

I've got an Aussie one and you can't get a manual for them. When something goes wrong she causes me no end of grief until through pure guesswork, I rectify the problem.

Congratulations Kieren and Rachel.
Welcome to the big family we call Australia, not all the relatives like each other but we mostly remain civil.
I had the decision made for me when I was a little tacker, I would still make the same decision for myself.

Cheers mate.
Yeah, I'm Aussie born (Perth). Grew up in Beldon through the 70's, for those who know the area. Parents were £10 poms from the late 60's, and I got taken to UK when I was 9 yrs old.
As soon as I could I got my Aussie passport (entitled by being born here) so now dual citizen. Rach was born UK but obvioulsy now a dualer too after today, and though our young daughter was born in UK, she was entitled to Aussie cit too by birthright on my side.
Knew I wanted to return when I was about 13, but took me some 23 years since that first decision due to one thing or another.
So we are now all officially a family of Aussies with dual UK nationality......helps saves money on visas when travelling back and forth!
Albeit with dodgy pommie accents!! ;)

Agreed, I hate my accent. Luckily 7 years in the Royal Navy mixing with people from all over the UK toned it down a little but the brum in me still shows through. :( :(

Me too. I arrived in Aussie in 1955 when I was three and was naturalised with my parents in the Harvey Town Hall in 1966. I would make that same decision myself. I love this place!
So, Welcome to Aus, Rachel. You're not the only blow in here!
