WaV -

"Smokey - of course I'm aware that my views are heavily against the status quo"

I didn't ask you that though.

"But why you don't think it's good that I've made an effort with English songs, hymns, etc. baffles me"

I never said it wasn't good, but I'm afraid I don't call that making an effort. Nor does it make you any more English. For what it's worth, I think everybody should be allowed to play whatever music they choose - even you.

"Perhaps the term "walkabout" does derive from Aboriginal Australia, but nowadays it's used widely here to describe someone out and about to visit a place and meet folks, yes?"

No, only by morons who watch Australian soap operas. (apologies to all morons)

"calling me an Australian or an immigrant, rather than an English repat., IS wrong as I WAS born here."

I really don't care what your opinion is WaV, it makes no difference to anything I've said. You grew up as an Australian, in Australia, surrounded by Australian culture. I'd guess your passport said you were Australian, and you had to get through immigration controls to live here. You also failed to answer when someone asked you about passports.. Yes, you may well be an English repatriate, but to me you are also an Australian immigrant. I wonder what the Authorities would call you?
