Jason le petit Australien

Jason became an Australian citizen on Thursday - he is finally allowed to wear shorts and thongs, and use the word 'strewth'. Here he is taking the oath (under God!! He thinks he got put in the wrong group). Can you spot him?:

Here he is getting his certificate from the mayor of Yarra.

Here is the mayor of Yarra pointing at my mother so that Jason will wait and pose for her. My mother took about half an hour to get her camera out, so she only held the ceremony up briefly.

Here is Jason finally getting his photo taken by my mother. You can see that the mayor has already lost interest.

Here is Jason getting some sort of medallion from Dick Wynne, Housing Minister and Member for Richmond. Mr Wynne is shaking Jason's imaginary hand. He did shake the real one later.

And here is Jason getting a real, genuine, made in China koala from the Carlton Rotary.

I waved my flag so enthusiastically when Jason came up that it broke! But here we are with some new ones.
