So many memories. Condolences to wallys family. So many fun times at the island with Wally and of course brandy. Reunited and galloping together over the greener pastures trouble free.

A true Australian legend. A man with a wealth of knowledge and always had the time to sit and spin a yarn. Wally had a marvelous sense of humour and always a twinkle in his eye. Rest in Peace Wal.

Wal was one of the hardest working people that I have ever known and a great story teller. Will be sadly missed in around the Buffalo area.

Farewell my koala tracking mate. Thanks for the many stories, knowledge of Snake Island that you willingly shared with me , and a friendship which I valued deeply. Condolences to Wals Family.

Wally, a real legion of LEONGATHA,, outwardly always happy and bright, a beautiful sole who bought a spark to the lives of those who knew him. An infectious laugh, that washed your blues away. Sympathy to the family. Wally we will remember you.

Great memories of times spent together. You will be sadly missed. Rest in Peace Wal.

Thanks to everyone for coming to Wal’s service and our apologies for not being there. Thanks to the Tuckett families for organising everything this morning. Thanks to the staff of Koorooman House for their love, care, and friendship of Wal. A sincere apology today from Wal’s oldest brother Arthur; with the coronavirus situation we decided it best we all meet at Mum and Dad’s place in Sydney this morning for the service.

We thank God for the life and example of Uncle Wal. His genuine interest in what his nephews and nieces we were all doing and his care for others is inspiring. He was a real gentleman, but leaves great bushy memories like rides on Charlie Brown, cracking yarns, killing snakes by cracking them on the post, BBQs at Buffalo with koalas in the tree right above us (“are we safe standing here?!”), the “food detector” on his car that meant he always turned up right on dinner time, driving all the way up to Sydney and Canberra for our weddings (and us looking out the church door to see if his Ford will get him here… him arriving was the highlight of the wedding for everyone!), that old fridge from Wal and Dad’s farm that lasted so long, and guided tours of the area for our families in later years. His love for the local history and especially Snake Island was legendary; many times we’ve pulled out his poem, read it, and boasted, ‘Bet you didn’t know a Cayzer could write like that!’

Our prayers and sympathies for all his family and friends today,

Adrian and Tory Cayzer, for Mum and Dad (Arthur and Jude) and our families.

Our deepest sympathy to Wal’s family. We loved his stories and local knowledge of the Cayzer heritage.

Deepest sympathies to Wal’s family.

I have great memories of chatting with Wal about local Gippsland history and shipwrecks, and later on working with him at Snake Island on the koala program.

His renditions of the ‘The Muster on Snake’ on the verandah at the Cattlemen’s Hut will echo forever and his comment ‘Any day you can swing your legs out of bed and put your feet on the ground is a good day’.

You are saddled on your beloved horse Brandy on the other side now, Bless you Wal you will be greatly missed but never forgotten. Shirley Strachan

Deepest sympathy to Wal’s family and his many, many friends. What a warm, energetic, compassionate soul who was open to the world and always smiling. We met by chance in a hostel in Cork, Ireland, nearly forty years ago–and since that day he has left an indelible impression on my life and in my heart. What a light in this world!
