The town has a population of about 7 000 people and is 1 hour north of Mt Gambier, the biggest city in South Australia outside of Adelaide.

  Activities
  The Activities Alex takes part in are generally things that are sport, music or socially oriented. Alex has always been interested in music and has has been playing some sort of musical instrument since age 4 till present day. At age 4 Alex begun learning recorder and his mother jen taught him basic piano. At age 6 Alex began learning brass instruments starting with the cornet, then the trumpet and in later years of primary school the trombone. In his final two years Alex ditched brass instruments for guitar in which he still plays today. From 1996 Alex was taught guitar by the school music teacher however once Alex began high school he started getting specialist lessons with professional guitarist David Mortimer. At the age of 22 Alex still enjoys playing guitar and drums and watching live music. Alex enjoys going out with mates and having a few beers and a good time in general. Some of the more social activities that Alex enjoys as well as partying is spending time with family and friends and enjoying good food, especially on Gouger street

  Sport
  Thoughout Alex's life he has enjoyed taking part in many different sports. From the age of 5 Alex took part in junior football and hockey. He moved in and out of each sport each season until taking up Cycling at the age of 13. For 2 years Alex was a member of the Blue Lake cycling club until ditching cycling to keep playing country football
  for the Naracoorte Demons U17. From there Alex went on to play Reserves and A grade until moving to Adelaide for University where he played Football for Kilburn and took out the best and fairest award in the Reserves as well as a handful of games for Adelaide Uni's cricket team. Alex sucessfully captained the Lincoln college cricket team to premiership victory over St Annes college in 2004. In 2005 Alex continued to play reserves football for Kilburn and being a fringe player in the senior side however too much beer and low fitness was preventing him from staying in the side. 2006 was a rest year for Alex, only playing a handful of games and no cricket whatsoever whilst travelling to Melbourne more often to visit his brother Tim. At the end of 2006 Alex decided he wanted to give football a red hot crack and trained heavily with the SANFL Club Port Adelaide. After many months of strenuous training and many pre season games, the coach Tim Ginever and assistant coach Brian Leys told him he wasnt fit enough and they couldnt fit him in the squad. That evening Alex was rang by Mark Baylis, the operations manager at Gaza, after learning of Gaza's dominance in A1 football Alex signed on with the club under coach Darren Mead
