Actually he lived in NSW for a while. Attended school for about 5
years in a regional town, left in Yr 7 IIRC (so naturally the local
rag has claimed him as a local lad made good)

It was the hills around Arthurs Creek in Victoria that made him the champion
he is today. He was a local mountain-bike legend before he got onto the
racers. Katherine, NT and regional NSW can put in their claims but they
amount to zero in regards to where he developed his profession.

I could never be proud of being a Nationalist, or of nationalism,
or of sportsmen who win ungratiously, and lose with tantrums,
but I can be proud of what Cadel has achieved as an Australian,
and he shows some intelligence when he's interviewed.
All too often we see larrikins performing well in some sport or other,
like Shane Warne in cricket.
But only a few sportsmen pass the test of being a gentleman.
Patrick Turner.
PS, not many decent hills in Catherine.
Canberra has some real corkers, and not far away are the Snowies,
and some long steep climbs.

Having one wrong person on the newsgroup is an accident, having two is a
tragedy.
He was born in Katherine in the Northern Territory. You can't get much
more Aussie than that. Red Australian dust is in his blood.

Hmm. He's a great cyclist, obviously, but I reserve that sort of praise for
someone who doesn't whine about his team while they're busting their nuts
for him in the mountains. Let's face it - we wouldn't be going apeshit

I must confess I wasn't born here (or yesterday) and I still have a
discernable Dutch accent. I do have an Australian passport and have been an
Australian citizen longer than most people on this group.
You are a citizen of the country whose passport you hold, but you will
always have some affection and ties to the country of your birth. And
there's nothing wrong with that.

Wrong. They can claim his parents. Queensland can claim him as he was born
there and Canberra can claim him as he developed his profession there.

In that case we want his UK passport back. There are plenty of illegal
immigrants who would be grateful to receive it.
