Strewth! AustCham's Mad Hatter's Ball This Saturday

"G'day, Alice." That's how the Aussie version of Alice In Wonderland might start. It's also what you'll find yourself saying if you go to the AustCham Mad Hatter's Ball this weekend. Saturday brings the maniacal milliner-themed event to the China World Hotel. We'll let AustCham describe it themselves:

"Find a ridiculous hat, check out Alice in Wonderland for inspiration or come just plain mad - either way this year's ball promises to be one that you don't want to miss!"

What else do you need to know? There will be Australians dressed in their Sunday best, Aussie superstar Paulini (she's the young lady asking for a fireman in that video up there) will be performing and there will be enough Aussie wine and beer to flood the Outback (or at least an Outback Steakhouse).

Tickets are priced at RMB 1,200 but because we like you, we've sorted a deal with AustCham so that readers of the Beijinger get them for RMB 1,000. Just mention the Beijinger when you call 6595 9252 or book online.

The AustCham Mad Hatter's Ball takes place at the China World Hotel on Saturday, March 9 from 6.30pm-3.30am.
