Calling Australia home

Sixty four people have chosen to make Baw Baw Shire their home after being conferred Australian citizenship recently.
It was the largest ever citizenship ceremony held in the shire with mayor Michael Leaney describing it as an "amazing night."
Cr Leaney said families, individuals and young children were declared Australian citizens.
He said they came from a diverse background of nationalities including Philippines, Thailand, Cambodia, United Kingdom, Egypt, India, New Zealand, China, Vietnam, Iran, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Iraq, Taiwan, South Africa, Zambia, Kenya and Canada.
"The smiles on people's faces was amazing to see," he said.
Cr Leaney said citizenship ceremonies had been delayed during the pandemic, with many of the new citizens only just finalising their paperwork in the past couple of weeks.
"It is great to be mayor and welcome such a happy group to not only become Australian citizens but citizens of Baw Baw Shire," he said.
