The number of Australians in Tennant Creek grew by five last Friday when Acting Mayor Russell O’Donnell donned the robes to officially swear in the new citizens in front of friends and families.
Ujwal Minocha, Mary Apple Martin, Elvir Rahmanovic, Fungisi Siggins and Vijay Kumar Saraf each swore the oath, showing their commitment and loyalty to their new country and were presented with their certificates, as well as a gift of a native plant, which will hopefully grow as much as their love for their new home country.
Congratulations to all of Tennant Creek’s newest citizens.
