David Gower may think Australian cricket fans are devoid of culture but the Aussie cricketers sure have damned fine luggage. That was evident at this week's 2013
Gold Ball where one of the auction items was a splendorous set of
Louis Vuitton luggage created for cricket captain
Michael Clarke.
The Louis Vuitton luggage was just one of the many donated items along with
Paspaley Pearls and world airline trips that saw around one million dollars being raised for the
Sydney Children's Hospital in Randwick.
The Gold Ball brought out 350 of the good and great including former prime minister
Paul Keating and captains of industry including the new slimline
'Aussie John' Symonds and new girlfriend
Amber Keating , PM Paul's former daughter-in-law and a newly svelte
Joe Hockey MP.
Also there was
Nine Network boss
Jeff Browne and partner
Rhonda Wyllie. Nine will be hosting the
Gold Telethon this Queen's Birthday Holiday and
Nicole Kidman, the hospital's patron has kicked in $100,000 to get the ball rolling.

The T
ony Assness designed ball room was really quite sensational with what seemed a million candles glittering and with catering by
Matt Moran and endless crates of the finest chilled
Bollinger. The idea first kicked around by PR gal
Skye Leckie and
Professor Les White (
Chief Paediatrician for NSW Health) 17 years ago has grown to be the must attend social event.
