Years ago I was involved (working for a sub contractor) in the build of a mansion in Toorak.
The amount of money that went it was mad. Got to know the site foreman over the course of the year and the stuff he told me was ridiculous.
Seeing the house go through all the building stages, still cannot fathom where the money went. It was a nice house, but there was definitely a 'Toorak tax' applied.
