Last Saturday night, in what has been described as the best one yet, over 500 guests joined us for the 2013 AustCham Ball. The quirky Mad Hatter's Tea Party theme saw the grand ballroom of China World Hotel transformed into a chaotic fantasy land, complete with floating candle centrepieces and waistcoat clad wait staff. The night had everything from Alice in Wonderland themed desserts, to test tube drinks served in dry ice foaming out of top hats. Australian R&B singer Paulini and The Jackson Twinz got the crowd on their feet, with renowned action star Jackie Chan making a surprise appearance too! And the outfits... well, you'll just have to take a look for yourself.
