    Born in Scotland, moved to England then lived 2 years in Switzerland before coming here in 1966.
    Been here ever since apart from a few fly fishing trips to NZ, South America and Russia.

    I too was born in Scotland, arrived in Oz in 1955.

    Been here since except for a short funded trip to Vietnam and Singapore, followed by a career in the Army.

    Now consider myself a true blue aussie. SWMBO is a 4th or 5th generation Aussie and the kids and grandkids are all Australian.
