There's a new Aussie in our team - and we couldn't be happier about it!

A huge congratulations to our restaurant manager Evangeline Demate - or Vhanj as she's known to us all – on becoming an Australian citizen this week.

Vhanj, who's been at the golf club for almost two years, has been a resident for more than six years after leaving her native Philippines.

And she's pretty excited about her new passport.

"It's actually amazing - the ceremony was pretty emotional," she said.

"I'm very proudly an Aussie and I'm really grateful to be living here.

"It also means I'm more qualified now to talk about things like parmas and pavlovas," she joked.

So when you see Vhanj around the clubhouse, be sure to congratulate her on the big life step.

Congrats, Vhanj, we're all very proud of you!
