Venice Carnivale was a masked evening at Berkelouw’s Bendooley Estate, Berrima, and2 the biggest ever fundraising event for CanAssist.

While a final tally of funds raised is not available for publication, organisers are thrilled with the result from ticket sales, auctions and raffles held as part of the event. All funds raised will go to support for cancer patients of the Southern Highlands.

Photographer Hamish Ta-me was on hand during the evening to snap up photographs of guests and capture the atmosphere of the evening on camera.
