Giving A Chance To See The Gum Trees, And Lots of Plum Trees
Australian TV personality Don Burke of Burke's Backyard is almost as well-known here for his woolly jumpers as he is for his enthusiasm in the garden. After 17 and a half years, the final episode of Burke's Backyard aired on Friday night.
Don has donated the jumper he wore on the very first episode of the show for auction by Retina Australia. With three days left, the jumper has attracted bids as high as $6 100 at online auction site eBay.
Retina Australia offers support to people affected by retinal degeneration and raises funds for Australasian research that will contribute to finding a cure or treatment for retinal degenerative diseases. A donation such as this will help Retina Australia to continue this work, offering hope to individuals and families facing the effects of vision loss.
