I'm not sure how far back we go as far as generations but my great, great, great (etc.) grandmother was the first white lady to set foot on Tasmanian soil (and had the first white baby in Tasmania too) so you can't get much more Aussie than my family... now my kids are 1/2 chinese so I kinda messed up the flow, but whatever.
