Hailing from Queensland, Wagga Wagga, Adelong and more locally, family and friends attended the surprise birthday party at the Goulburn Soldiers Club on Market Street.

Family friend of Steve and wife Liz, Helen Davy, submitted these photos taken on the night, and said “a great night was had by all”.

Steve and Liz were joined by son Brett; and many drivers from the trucking fraternity also got along to the surprise party to say hello, including Simon Hannan, manager for Toll Adelong.

The Collins came from Wagga Wagga and Canberra.
