00:52 My journey to become an Australian citizen was like climbing a mountain.
00:56 It was challenging, but it's really worth it.
01:00 Economics. My favourite thing in Australia is being outdoors.
01:06 I started rock climbing after I came here, and now in the weekend I go to outdoor climbing with friends.
01:14 I'm going to celebrate becoming an Australian citizen by enjoying nature and outdoor adventures.
01:21 I'm from Mongolia, and we came to Australia about seven to eight years ago.
01:25 Initially I came to Australia to study.
01:28 I graduated ANU with a software development degree,
01:31 and ended up opening and operating the first and only Mongolian restaurant in Canberra.
01:36 Mongolian cuisine tends to be very, very meat-heavy,
01:39 and that perfectly coincides with Australian barbecue.
01:44 Becoming an Australian citizen really means finally becoming one with the community
01:49 and giving the future I want for my whole family.
01:54 [Applause]
02:04 Sometimes dreams really do come true.
02:08 [Applause]
02:10 I celebrate my first Australian day as an Australian citizen.
02:15 I'll proudly touch Australian flag to my car,
02:18 and will spend time with my family and friends here in Canberra.
02:22 I moved to Australia because I had no money and I wanted to travel,
02:26 and I could do both here, and fell in love in more ways than one, and never went home.
02:32 Congratulations, PEDAWG.
02:35 And congratulations to all of our...
