 The third annual Sony Foundation Wharf4Ward at the Finger Wharf in Woolloomooloo was another stellar success raising over $700,000 for the new Sydney You Can Centre. You Can is a joint initiative of Sony Foundation and CanTeen to support young people who have been affected by cancer. And the stars turned out including X-Factor judges Dannii Minogue and Ronan Keating and numerous TV presenters and entertainers.

Champers On The Move

A few days after we discovered the Pommery Champagne cocktail cabinet at young bookmaker Tom Waterhouse's betting website launch, now comes the permanently on-the-move champagne bar.

Like the Mary Celeste (it was never the 'Maire'), it came drifting out from the mass of party-goers at the launch of the $20M La Montage reception centre by the river in downtown Lillyfield.

 Except this ship wasn't empty but manned by a nice girl called Mary who was dispensing champagne. How it's done is a mystery. She just glides along with ice-buckets , dozens of glasses and bottles of champers.

And then she glides off, returning just at the appropriate time when one's glass is nearing empty.

La Montage is on the site of the old Club Marconi, the inner city soccer club that was much beloved by Sydney's thousands of citizens with an Italian heritage.  

The new centre looks like it will continue the tradition within the Italian community as a wedding reception centre extraordinaire. It has to be seen to believed-it looks just like a gigantic South Fork Ranch out of Dallas. Nice if you like that sort of thing.
