Wow!  What an amazing experience.  I was so proud to carry the baton today and to do it in front of my own family and so many members of my extended Hallside family was so special.  Thank you so much to each boy, girl, mum, dad, auntie, uncle, grannie, grandpa and staff member who came along to the baton relay this evening.  I hope you enjoyed watching and cheering it as much as I enjoyed carrying it.

It was incredible.  My heart was bursting with pride.

Can’t wait for the games to begin now.
