ON Sunday the oldest living Wallaby turned 100.
Charles 'Gordon' Stone celebrated with his family on the day at his daughter's house in Bowral and then celebrated with his neighbours at Bowral House on Monday.
Both parties were accompanied by excellent cakes courtesy of Gumnut Patisserie complete with a perfect replica Gilbert's rugby ball on top.
Check out some of the pictures from the party and a selection of pictures of Gordon's life over 100 wonderful years.
