Hey Gazz

Rumour has it you broke some hearts in Tenant Creek on the way through

Care to elaborate?!

Well Gazza made it, and let's just say, he was a little overwhelmed!

He really let his hair down on the Friday night (Well, what he has anyway).

I would like to share with you all "Gazza's Valla Arrival Happy Dance"

Turn up to maximum Volume for full effect!

It was awesome having you there, you rock!!! We all look forward to catching up soon we hope!!!
