This year's annual
Silver Dinner was hosted at
Swifts, that extraordinary mansion in
Darling Point with it's commanding views over Sydney Harbour. Swifts may well be the most valuable property in Australia. It was built in 1875 by
Sir Robert Lucas Lucas-Tooth, the beer baron and is now owned by the
Moran family of nursing home fame. With it's 6 acres of land, approximately 9 building blocks it's hard to estimate it's value. being
National Trust listed it cannot be changed so development is off the books.
And with it's own ballroom and band stand in the garden it's the perfect location for a swell party. The Silver Dinner, the brainchild of
Skye Leckie (above left) in a gold dress has raised $Millions for the Children's Hospital over the years.
