I'm not going through the visa process. I grew up in Aus and moved here in 1995 just after my 22nd birthday. Having said that, being a citizen isn't is as easy as *iss to get back. With a child my journey started in April with court proceedings and we trying to get consent from the absent father for for the Aus passport finally got our court order and passports this month (our passports yesterday)
As I was only 22 when I left - going back is exactly the same experience as everyone else in terms of then unknown etc. I plan to move to Canberra as I fell in love with the place when I visited in 2004 and felt then and still do that it was the place for us to be. I got on gut feeling a lot and on my first day there - I thought we should live here. Very bizarre considering I was only visiting family for a holiday and never had any intention of moving back there.
