Qantas Choir… Jamie Durie …Guy Sebastian … Jack Vidgen…
These are the stars that shined their light at the 2012 Australia Week at Hilton Houston Post Oak on January 24, 2012.
The stars at night were big and bright while raising money for Project Joy & Hope. Raising an astonishing $57,000 for the local charity, this gala marked the largest in Australia Week 2012 Houston history.
Standing room only? Yes! Several attendees, dressed in their finest were happy to browse the silent auction, place bids and enjoy light appetizers before enjoying the evenings entertainment.
Jamie Durie, Master of Ceremonies, brought energy, star power and more to the gala stage this year. Jamie joined Jack Vidgen and The Qantas Choir in a surprise ending that opened this years event.
Australia Week 2012 greeted media representatives from KHOU Great Day Houston, Fox 26 News Houston, Backstage Press and more! Live Tweeting and social media elements were added this year to enhance the Aussie experience.
