Los Angeles may be known as the land of countless celebrities, but G’Day USA’s black-tie gala on Sunday night reminded locals that the land down under has produced its share of high-profile talent, too. The gala, which honored actors Eric Bana and Rachel Griffiths, as well as tennis player Rod Laver at the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel, was part of the sixth annual Australia Week, a series of events that kicked off on January 13 to promote the country’s culture, goods, services, and business opportunities.
