You hold British citizenship if your father was born in Britain and was married to your mother at the time of your birth or has married your mother later. Should that be the case you can apply for a U.K. passport through the High Commission in Canberra.

Eurasian (Mixed Ancestry) $60.54 The word Eurasian refers to people of mixed Asian and European ancestry. It was originally coined in 19th century British India to refer to AngloIndians of mixed British and Indian descent. The term has seen some use in anthropological literature from the 1960s. Many Eurasian ethnic groups arose during colonial occupation of Asian regions by European states and private corporations, that started with the great wave of European naval expansion and exploration in the 16th century and continues to the present. The main European colonial powers were Spain and Portugal in the 16th century, followed by the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and France from the 17th century onwards. The term Eurasian was first coined in British India in 1844. The term was originally used to refer to what are now known as AngloIndians, people of mixed British and Indian descent. In many regions, Eurasians tended to marry and socialize mostly among themselves thus forming a separate social and economic class, which eventually became a distinctive ethnic group.

Law of Australia $90.81 The law of Australia consists of the Australian common law which is based on the English common law, federal laws enacted by the Parliament of Australia, and laws enacted by the Parliaments of the Australian states and territories. The most important law of Australia is the Constitution of Australia, which describes Australias system of constitutional monarchy, and forms the basis for the government of Australia. All of the States and territories of Australia that are selfgoverning are separate jurisdictions, and have their own system of courts and parliaments. The systems of laws in each State are influential on each other, but not binding. Laws passed by the Parliament of Australia apply to the whole of Australia. The organized system of law and government now in force in Australia is historically dependent for its legal validity on a series of British statutes, notably including the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900. The authority of the United Kingdom Parliament to enact those statutes depended on the acquisition of the Australian continent as a territorial possession of the British Crown.
