Hey there.

For me, i was born here but have an italian father who came here in the early 60's at 17 and a filipino mum, both of which were born oversees, but decided to settle here. Thats 1 more for the asian invasion!!

My fiancee is 2nd generation aussie, with her grandmother on her mums side having english/welsh roots.

Stralian Born! Norf Melb in fact, but of Greek Heritage on both sides. My dad actually was a Commonwealth Games Gold Medalist for Australia and an Olympian. He was personally inducted into the Greek Australian Sporting Hall Of Fame by no other than John Howard our PM.

How's that!

My grandma done all the hard work about a year ago as far as tracing back the family tree, she sent me the paperwork and I can trace my father's bloodline all the way back to a convict on the first fleet.

Mums a Samoan (not of the fresh variety) and Dads full European/Kiwi.
I have a little French, Scottish & German blood in me too. So, overall, I'm a half-cast mongrel. :

Born at Frankston Hospital.

Mum's from England, can trace her family to middle eastern immigrants about 200 years ago.

Dad's also from England, can trace his family back to 1066, village near Birmingham with old spelling of surname 'Swynnerton'

Mum came over here with her family on the '5 pound immigrant' thingy back in the 60's, dad followed her out on his own, they got married here and when her parents went back, they stayed...
Good thing is I get both passports, so can go over there indefinitely and come and go as I please without visas..

Good call...

I don't mind called POM if I get to whip through passenger terminals..
