Kooyong is a 49 square-kilometre template smack-bang in the middle of Melbourne's wealthiest matrix of leafy streets that make up Kew, to the north, as well as Hawthorn, Balwyn and Canterbury, and takes in most of Camberwell and Surrey Hills.
The eruption in Kooyong — home to some of Australia's most prestigious addresses and private schools, and listed among the top three electorates on a scale of socio-economic advantage — is rare, though not unprecedented.
This was not to be confused with its election fighting fund, which was held in a separate account and was "healthy for this stage of the election cycle".

 Who needs Hewitt when you've got Federer, boasts Kooyong - Tennis - Sport
FOUR of the men's top five, including world No.1 Roger Federer, have committed to January's Kooyong Classic, but the Melbourne curtain-raiser to the Australian Open is destined to be without a local presence for the forseeable future.
Tournament director Colin Stubs confirmed yesterday that he had made his annual approach to Lleyton Hewitt early this year, but had been told that, as usual, a decision on his summer program would not be made until much later in the season.
With Mark Philippoussis having such a chequered Kooyong history that Stubs considers it "just not worth going there again", and 140th-ranked Chris Guccione the next best of the Australians, the event will provide the ideal grand slam preparation for the eight-man field that will now be without Andre Agassi.
