  • The Citizenship Ceremony was held at 10:45 am on 21st December 2011.
  • The Australian Passport Application was lodged at 11:55 am on the same day.
  • The completed passport became ready for collection at 2.55 pm on the same day.

Anyone in the Austrian passport office can now put a name to the ABCDiamond persona, as very few people can get all those three things happening on the same day.

Just 4 hours and 10 minutes from the Citizenship ceremony to having the passport available for pickup. That must be nearly a record.

However, it did take 25 years and 11 days from first migrating to Australia to becoming an Australian Citizen.
Hey where ave you been:sneaky:

Yes, but what weapons were they using......

That reminds me of my first Archery test. I couldn't see where the arrow landed... I didn't think to look in the bulls-eye section... The instructor did say concentrate, so I thought about my first wife......... :rofl:

Now I am thinking of the 303 practice, and then switching to the Stirling... accuracy wasn't quite as important with that one. ;)

You are right, the UK is not for me anymore. Nowhere is perfect, but, short of the Bahamas, this is pretty good here.
