Nationality

With two of my GGG grandparents born in Australia I am a sixth generation Australian on both sides of my family and a third generation Australian from my great grandfather Albert Burton Harradine. All my ancestors arrived in Australia between 1811 and 1887.

 

I was curious to know what my national heritage is, assuming there is no such thing as Australian nationality.  As all my ancestors came to Australia as British subjects, presumably with no intention to change their nationality, what am I then?  That is apart from the fact that I am one quarter Beer, my paternal grandmother being a Beer and allowing plenty of scope for beer jokes.
