Flash back to this time last week at our ARA Gala No. 1 Presented by Afterpay at the magnificent Melbourne Town Hall. A truly fabulous night that we produced after three years in the making! Well worth the wait as it was an event to remember. A Welcome to Country like no other, next level performances by @therealkateceberano and @bonnieandersonmusic with @theraahproject orchestra, afterpayau runway and the great @lordmayormelb address amongst many other highlights hosted by the gorgeous @tonaaayy. Thank you @austretailers extended team and to @paulzahra_1 and @fleur.brown.3382 for trusting in us to bring your vision to life. There are so many people to thank that it’s not possible in this one post, but we have tried to tag you all and if not will do so in focused posts. Major thanks to all and to my incredible team @remiitrigg @sallymatt1 @madzassi @jono_somers @marissssa.anna, our close family of suppliers and @cityofmelbourne , @theepicureangroup and @lucasdawsonphotography for capturing it all so superbly. @austageevents @jasongrech @misssandycrack @arthurgalanag #aragalano1 #australianretailersassociation #afterpayaustralia #virginaustralia #sanpellegrino_official #idlehourvodka #joeyscandizzosalon #creativeproducers #bestjobever #retailisback ❤️🍾🌺🌟
