Me and the 3 kids UK passports have all expired but my wife's is still good.

We all have Aussie passports.

In Perth non Aussie passport holders can go through the Australian citizens line if they are traveling with an Australian citizen.

What's the deal at the UK airport? Can I go through the EU passport holders line with my wife (shall I take the old UK passports)?

Or do I have to line up separately with all the towelheads, seppos and nips?

Go in the quick line with your wife. The deal is usually 'EU passport holders and their families'. I've travelled with a mix of family passports in the past and as long as one of us has a British one - we go down the EU line. Never had a problem.

But remember, as soon as you choose a line, the other one will start moving quicker
