K I admit it. I am officially over winter. Sure there are some lovely things about the colder months in Melbourne – hunkering down for the film festival, mugs of Mork hot chocolate, a new pair of chunky winter boots – but enough already! Bring on spring, I say. I can’t begin to describe my delight at the first early signs of the changing of the seasons. The lighter mornings, the odd burst of Sunday sunshine and now the building anticipation for Melbourne Spring Fashion Week. The town’s fashionable set has been all aflutter with the news that rising Hollywood star Isabel Lucas is coming home as the face of our annual spring frock fest. The former Home and Away actor is fast becoming an international style icon, gracing magazine spreads and sitting front row at the big international couture shows. So we were thrilled to invite her into the TWR studio for a cover shoot and a chat about her take on the local fashion scene. Check out the result inside. ●

Jane Rocca meets the face of Spring Fashion Week, Isabel Lucas
O
ne of Melbourne’s most recognisable exports, Isabel Lucas, will return at the end of the month as the face of Melbourne Spring Fashion Week. The Melbourne-born, LA-based actor, who started her career in 2003 playing Tasha Andrews on Home and Away Away, has gone on to turn heads in Hollywood blockbusters such as Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Daybreakers and most recently Careful What You Wish For. These days she divides her time between the US and Melbourne, although she spent most of last year living in Europe, filming in Barcelona and Budapest. When she got the call last month from the City of Melbourne asking her to be the face of this year’s fashion week, she couldn’t resist. “It means I get to come back to Australia and visit my parents, who split their time between the Yarra Valley and Cairns,” says Isabel, who also recently bought a home in Byron Bay. The 31-year-old, who fell in love with acting after she was discovered on a Cairns beach at 18, has never walked a fashion runway or worked as a model. But her mesmerising looks and poise have seen her become an accidental style icon, who seems equally at ease gracing magazine fashion spreads as sitting in the front row at international couture shows for Chanel and Calvin Klein. She loves Etro the label but prefers discovering emerging designers. She can’t wait for the Emerging Runway show at MSFW. She is particularly keen on brands that are eco-friendly, conscious about their carbon footprint and serious about recycling. “Nothing makes my heart get more excited than when I learn about brands who are going that extra mile to be sustainable, are made locally and aware of their impact on the planet,” she says. At MSFW opening night, she’ll wear a design by Nevenka – the local label started by Rosemary Masic, who combines a dreamy
bohemian sensibility with atelier genius. It’s the perfect fit for Isabel, who favours bohomeets-gypsy-goddess silhouettes – think delicate lace, pastel hues and a hint of floral. “I always feel a little klutzy when I describe my style,” says Isabel. “For me it’s all about comfort and fashion needs to be practical. “I have a feminine edge and I like minimal designs too. I’ve always been drawn to more gypsy styles. I love to mix and match, whether it’s vintage with new. Fashion should be fun and not too much thought to go into your outfit. I try to dress according to my mood.” During MSFW she will also wear outfits by Thurley (which she also wore at the AFI Awards), Yeojin Bae and Manning Cartell. “Australian fashion is unique and I love that there’s an energy in our designs you don’t find elsewhere,” she says. “I love Melbourne brands. They are world-class.” But for all her fashion cred, she admits she prefers to shop at flea markets over high-end boutiques. “I love market shopping,” she says. “I love Camberwell Market, Bangalow Market in Byron and the Rose Bowl in LA. “But what I love about MSFW is you can shop the looks from the runway in various stores around our city and you don’t need to feel trapped in a shopping centre. You can be in the fresh air and in daylight and have fashion at your fingertips. It’s a great thing and it really makes Melbourne unique.” Despite her star power and her history of dating famous men (Angus Stone, Chris Hemsworth, Adrian Grenier, Shia LaBeouf), Isabel is no show pony; in fact she is disarmingly down to earth. She doesn’t fit LA’s self-obsessed celebrity mould and prefers to live away from Hollywood’s buzz. She has a place by the ocean, a stone’s throw from Venice Beach and Santa Monica. She’s a 5Rhythms addict and needs regular yoga classes. She is also an ambassador for Australia For Dolphins, working to raise awareness about the slaughter in Japan.

“Doing my bit to raise awareness seems like a natural extension of who I am,” she says. Her environmental awareness was sparked at age nine when her family moved to Kakadu for a couple of years. Her father, a pilot, had been transferred there for work, and her mother was learning Aboriginal dance and teaching autistic children. “I made friendships with Aboriginal children who taught me the importance of our Earth,” she says. “We are on the very surface of the Earth and need to be aware of that and safeguard the Earth. Its resources aren’t infinite.” ● jrocca@theweeklyreview.com.au » Melbourne Spring Fashion Week, August 26 to September 2 » msfw.melbourne.vic.gov.au

PETER WILMOTH MEETS SOME OF OUR MOST INSPIRING PARALYMPIANS
T
he road to Rio has been a long one for every athlete – a journey of fierce determination, enormous sacrifice and immense physical talent. But it is our Paralympians who have overcome the most extraordinary odds to compete on the international stage and whose stories inspire the most awe. It’s little wonder, then, that the Paralympic Games have emerged
from the shadow of the able-bodied Olympics to become a hugely popular event in their own right, securing their first commercial broadcast partner, Channel Seven, this year and promising 14 hours a day of live coverage. Before the games begin on September 7, three of Australia’s Paralympians share their inspiring stories.

n 2013, Emma Booth was heading home from a horse-riding event when a truck jackknifed and hit the car she was in. Her injuries included a fractured skull, punctured lung and shattered spine. She is a paraplegic. But while she was told she would never walk again, Emma was determined to ride again and is now heading to Rio for her Paralympic debut in dressage. “I got back into the horses as soon as I could,” she says. “I think everything happens for a reason and you’ve just got to take everything as it comes and make the best out of every situation.” There were times when she thought she might not get to where she is. “The thought probably went through my head when I was in hospital,” she says. “It was obviously really difficult coming to terms with the fact that I wasn’t going to be able to walk again. I think I always had in my mind that I definitely would ride again and it was a matter of how far I would be able to take that as a career. “I decided very early on I would get back in the saddle. It wasn’t until I had my first ride that I realised it had come back to me quite naturally. I’m lucky I have quite a low-level spinal cord injury so I still have a lot of control of my core and upper body, which helps.”
Emma, 25, who lives and trains at her parents’ property at Langwarrin South, fell in with horses at age seven, riding her aunt’s big thoroughbred in Canberra. “I was tiny. I fell in love instantly, before I even got in the saddle. I always had a love for all animals and horses and riding, I get such a buzz out of it.” She acquired her horse, 14-year-old Zidane, last December. It’s a special relationship. “With any horse you’ve got to have a particular connection and feel like you mesh,” she says. “From the first time I rode Zidane it felt like we’d been a team for years. He understood what I wanted him to do.” Emma uses a Velcro strap that crosses over her thighs and elastics that hold her feet in the stirrups. There is a bar at the front of the saddle that she can use for support. And she is permitted to ride with two whips. Zidane has learnt to act on Emma’s voice commands. “He’s a really clever horse, he’s picked up my way of riding really quickly; we’ve really clicked so he’s a bit of a superstar.” Emma is excited to be in such a huge international event as the Rio Paralympics. “It’s such a big journey. I take it each day as it comes, try not to get too overwhelmed and make sure I enjoy the experience.” ●

ristan Knowles loved all sports when he was growing up. “My dream as a kid was to play AFL football for Hawthorn,” he says. “At nine that dream was taken away when I was diagnosed with bone cancer and had my left leg amputated above the knee. “It was obviously pretty traumatic having to deal with that as a kid. Had to do chemotherapy … had to learn to walk on a prosthetic leg. I was put in remission and stayed in remission for two years.” But exactly two years later, doctors found a tumour in his lung. Tristan was 12. He underwent chemotherapy for a year. “That was a really devastating time for me because I learnt during the first (diagnosis) that the two places you don’t want to have cancer are your brain and your lung. I watched a lot of kids not make it and it seemed the kids had a tumour in their lung or their brain. “I was really scared. It was the first time I’d ever let the thought of death into my mind. I asked my doctor, ‘What are my chances of surviving?’ My parents anticipated I’d ask this and they agreed a white lie would be the best thing so they told me 50-50. My response at that point onwards was that I would survive. I found out later that my chances of survival were closer to 10 or 15 per cent.” At 15 Tristan found a pathway that changed his life. “I found wheelchair basketball and it sent my life in a direction I’ll be forever grateful for,” he says. The sport has played a “massive” role in his life. “I struggled big time after my amputation coming to terms with who I now was,” he says. “And when you find something you’re passionate about and you show potential at it, it gives you confidence. It gave me enough confidence to be myself.” He recalls a key moment. “I used to wear a cover over my leg. From a distance you couldn’t tell I had one leg. At 17, one morning before school, I ripped the cover off and went to school with it exposed. I realised I’d been trying to hide that I had one leg. It was a really liberating feeling. I have wheelchair basketball to thank for that.
“basketball gave me enough confidence to be myself” “All my teammates have a different journey and challenges to overcome. I saw some of those as a lot greater than the challenges I’d been through.” Tristan, 33, lives in Spotswood and works as a financial planner. He is engaged to be married. He was part of the men’s team that won gold in Beijing and at the 2010 World Championships in Birmingham. The team enters Rio with a No.1 world ranking. ● NEXT PAGE » ELLIE COLE AUGUST 17, 2016 \ THE WEEKLY REVIEW 9

llie Cole is pleased that Paralympic sport has been so strongly embraced in recent times. “It wasn’t like that at all when I was a kid,” she says. “When I went to competitions, the Paralympic events were always either at the very beginning or the very end. I’ll never forget one day I was having a medal presentation and they turned off the lights in the middle of it. Things like that just don’t happen any more.” Ellie was 14. “My dad was so angry.” Ellie, 24, had her right leg amputated when she was t ’ three after being diagnosed on s d with a sarcoma cancer. She e a l p e took up swimming eight o f m th “Pe weeks later as part of o i k w her rehabilitation, after n i e ut th hlet having a prosthetic leg b y t surgically fitted. “I’ve t a i e n still got it, it’s really an isabil o e m small now,” she says y d a so bilit with a laugh. s a a e “When I came s i n d o out of theatre, a d h ’s g I still thought wit who thin I had two ” e g m legs.

understand that my real one had been taken away.” She felt good in the pool and moved from squad swimming to competitions at the urging of her coach. “I was racing adult Paralympians, 18-, 19-, 20-year-old adults. I was 11. I dived in for my very first race and my goggles fell off so I stood up and put them back on, which is a big no-no. I lost the race and cried the whole way home. I look back and realise I was a bit hard on myself. I didn’t realise the world of competitive swimming was going to be so tough. “I’d been handed everything up until that stage and that’s when I realised if I was going to do any good at anything I would have to put some effort into it. “Growing up with a disability, especially as a young girl, a lot of people I guess almost felt sorry for me so I got everything quite easy as a kid. That was probably my first real lesson that things don’t always go the way you planned and that it’s time to put some hard work in if you want to get results.” The notion of competing in the Paralympics was planted when Ellie was 12. “I remember watching the 2004 Paralympic Games on TV and thinking that there are people racing who are just like me and it would be amazing to do something like that. “At that age I really just wanted to be the best swimmer in my squad because I was swimming against kids who had two legs and two arms.” It’s a long journey from growing up in Mt Eliza to winning four gold medals at the London Paralympics and winning an OAM in 2014 for her service to Australian sport, and for Ellie it’s a bit surreal. “I’m still struggling to comprehend that I compete at the level that I do. I don’t think I’ll ever really come to terms with it.” She says swimming has empowered her. “Being part of the Paralympics has been really important for me. People with disabilities
are considered a minority and when I was growing up a lot of people just assumed I wouldn’t be able to complete day-to-day tasks like walking up a staircase. “Going to a Paralympic village and seeing a guy with no arms eating with his feet and people doing amazing things like that, finding their way around any limitation that they have, has been an important lesson to me, that it’s important to keep forging forward and being the best you can be, whatever the public may think of you. Now when I say I’m a Paralympian people don’t think of me as an athlete with a disability, they think of me as someone with a disability who’s done something amazing. It’s awesome.” Ellie meets young people with disabilities at events and realises she is inspiring. “There are kids there who have disabilities and they’ve come to watch you swim. When they tell you you’ve made a really big impact on their life, it’s pretty special. When I was young all my role models were Paralympians.” Now Ellie is trying to raise $129,000 to buy a computer-controlled waterproof prosthetic knee called an X3. “Everyone thinks I’m talking about a BMW,” she says. “It’s like walking on a real leg,” she says. “I’m hoping the knees become a bit more affordable.” Ellie, who lives in Parramatta in Sydney, has also played wheelchair basketball, spending time on the Australian under-25 wheelchair basketball squad. “I was looking at taking it up seriously but I realised I wasn’t finished with my swimming career. I’m looking at a wheelchair basketball career later.” ● pwilmoth@theweeklyreview.com.au » The Paralympic Games run from September 7-18. Catch the action on Channel Seven: seven.com.au

THE VINE
I love rich, oaky, buttery Q chardonnays but I find them hard to come by – any suggestions?
W H AT T O D R I N K W I T H B E N T H O M A S
Those wines are hard to find. The A days when chardonnay was heavily oaked appear to be long gone. Some
Sunshine Creek Chardonnay 2013 (Yarra Valley) $45; 14%
Maxwell Chardonnay 2014 (Adelaide Hills) $28; 13%
Aromas of peaches and grilled nuts, with a zesty citrus kick, really get the saliva going in the mouth in anticipation of the first sip. When it hits the mouth there’s broad peach and melon flavours, plus a line of grapefruit (juice and pith) flavoured acid adding refreshment. It’s aged in oak for a year, with fine, powdery tannins giving the wine a gentle grip to the finish. ●
Many Barossa and McLaren Vale producers source chardonnay from the cooler Adelaide Hills region. This is ripe and bold, all stonefruit, spice and figs. There’s a little buttery, toasty oak. It’s heady and rich in the mouth but, most importantly, it’s balanced. There’s zip to the rich spice, peach and melon flavours and a lengthy, peachy finish. ●
tips though – don’t drink chardonnay straight from the fridge. Let it warm up and the flavours will flesh out a little. Also have a look at the alcohol levels – the higher the alcohol, the riper the grapes and, in theory, the richer the wine. Look for wines from warmer regions, such as McLaren Vale, Barossa and Riverina where the grapes produce flavours at the riper end of the spectrum. ● GOT A QUESTION EMAIL \

Bellbrae Estate Boobs Chardonnay 2015 (Geelong) $35; 12.5% Named after the surf break east of Winkipop and Bells Beach, there’s a load to like here, starting with the rich aromas of tropical fruits, melon and peach. Grapefruit kicks in on the palate to rein in the rich flavours and a light grip finishes off the compelling structure. There’s texture and a smoky, grilled nuts character on the finish. ● Enjoy with \ Chicken korma
OR TRY THIS Yalumba Roussanne 2015 (Eden Valley) $24; 12.5% Roussane is the chardonnay of France’s Rhone Valley and its rich flavours and medium body make it a lovely alternative to a bold chardonnay. This smells of green melon and peach, roast almonds and ginger. It’s creamy smooth and rich in the mouth, with similar set of flavours and a refreshing line of acid. ● Enjoy with \ Salmon fish cakes

SHAKSHUKA
(CLAIRE SLATTERY)
Every train station should have one. ● CLAIRE SLATTERY
ellow falafel fans, Melbourne is in the midst of a chickpea renaissance! Between Ottolenghi making tabbouleh the talk of the town (again?), dietaries driving restaurateurs to find inclusive options for sensitive systems, plus the great avocado shortage of 2016, falafel is fast becoming the new go-to brunch dish for those in the know. That’s not to say the falafel balls are all you should be grabbing at Tahina. Their finely milled, golden fried, mildly spicy, nutty nuggets are only the beginning, my friends. I never thought I’d be sending you to Northcote for shakshuka but, with its generous size, burnished eggs and rich tomato gravy, it’s a hearty meal to share. Speaking of heart-warming, their roasted eggplant, on a heap of hummus, topped with toasty zaatar-tossed kale chips and tahini, is a piece de resistance that gives me more naches (that’s Yiddish for sheer delight) than I thought possible. If you’re in a veg-loading kind of mood, the Monkey Salad, with quinoa, roasted vegies, broccoli and dukkah-fried chickpeas will have you zinging all day. What they lack in space here they make up for in smiles – it’s the sort of service that makes you want to dip in more often. ● aliceinframes@theweeklyreview.com.au

ddie Perfect is back on stage with a new production of his black comedy The Beast. While less-confident playwrights might try to curry favour with their audience, Eddie is going straight for the jugular. “There’s the great saying that if you’re going to tell people the truth, you’d better make it funny or they’ll kill you,” Eddie says. The Beast, first staged in 2013 for Melbourne Theatre Company, sees three tree-changing couples brought face-to-face with the reality of life on the land. It’s a savage takedown of latte-sipping, organic-eating, bicycle-riding, middle-class Melburnians. In other words, a sustained attack on the very people most likely to pay for a ticket. Eddie says he tried not to think about the audience reaction when writing the play.

“The idea of sitting in a theatre and being made to feel uncomfortable is an art that’s dying. There’s definitely a culture of outrage that demands people feel safe at all times. Theatre’s one of the last places you can see some dark, challenging stuff.” Eddie says he was surprised by how dark the script was on revisiting it. He’s now swapping a backstage role for a starring part as one half of one of the three couples. Knowing the first run was a great success has brought a new joy to rehearsals, he says, along with a willingness to resist any urges to make the characters more likeable. “Now that we know the humour works, we can really delve into the nastiness of these characters. It’s not naturalism, it’s big and ridiculous and there’s blood all over the place. If you can show people their hypocrisies in a way that makes them laugh, you’re giving them a chance to enjoy and reflect without feeling preached to, lectured at or admonished.” ● mbartlett@theweeklyreview.com.au

The Age of Bowie By Paul Morley, Simon & Schuster, $45 simonandschuster.com.au
As one Twitter wag recently joked, future historians will note David Bowie’s death as the moment when everything started going to pot. Music critic Paul Morley has an explanation for this – we’re beyond the glorious Age of Bowie, a rich period of cultural progress and innovation. His tribute is a loving, personal one and a fittingly unconventional celebration. More than that, it’s a tribute to the life-changing impact of pop music. ●

Powderfinger was one of those bands who managed to be massive without ever actually being cool (Coldplay know what I’m talking about there) and there’s a sense here that Bernard is happy just doing his own thing.

Award-winning architect Toby Ewert has designed the fit-outs of some of Melbourne’s most successful hospitality hotspots, including Ripponlea’s Hawk and Hunter, Collingwood’s Gontran Cherrier and Tommy Collins’ new bakery cafe The Hamptons. Toby and his business partner and schoolmate Will Leaf started their South Melbourne firm Ewert Leaf seven years ago. Toby lives in South Melbourne with his wife Kelly and their two-year-old son Archie. Where do you go for a great cup of coffee? St Ali has such a good atmosphere and design. Our office also loves Brew Society. For a special occasion? Lume is renowned for high-end dining. But a lot of the pubs around South Melbourne are a cut above just ordinary pub food. There’s the Rising Sun, The Montague and The Railway Club Hotel.
For Friday night drinks? The Railway on Ferrars has a lovely old-school pub feel, which has been lost a bit nowadays. For some architectural inspiration? In Albert Park there’s a lot of interesting infill residential architecture. There aren’t huge lots in this area, so people have to get creative. For soaking up the view? Luminare has impressive views that most people don’t know about. To take the kids out? I take Archie around Albert Park Lake or to St Vincent Gardens. He also loves the beach. For a good read? The Avenue is our favourite bookshop. For a serious workout? My business partner [Will] and I go to FightFit boxing before work. ● CLAIRE SLATTERY

After Darina has led us through vocal warm-ups, we move on to the Tears For Fears song, Mad World. Darina has done a three-part arrangement and we’re given sheet music with notes and lyrics.

Specialist gallery for Australian contemporary art.
Who’s behind the counter? Terry Earle left his job as a banker in the early 1990s to open a gallery to promote Australian arts and craftspeople. Back then, Terry says, local art wasn’t widely available. “It always intrigued me that a lot of people would be interested in Australian art but found it too remote,” he says. “It seemed to us that we were great ones for buying things with European or American subject matter, but didn’t have access to a wide range of contemporary Australian art.” Terry says the desire to see the Australian experience reflected in art is stronger now. “People who come here for the first time are gobsmacked. They go, ‘this is amazing’.” What’s in store? Without Pier is one of Melbourne’s biggest commercial galleries, representing more than 100 emerging and established Australian artists. They include painters Betina Fauvel Ogden, Drew Gregory and David Chen and ceramicist Victor Greenaway. There’s an emphasis on indigenous art from the Central and Western Deserts.

WHO INSPIRED YOU TO BECOME A TEACHER?
young students because creativity isn’t simply about art classes, but about a kind of positive thinking and flexibility of outlook that can help them make sense of the world and their place in it, find their own voice and honour their own ideas. As art teachers we have the joyous task of providing a range of materials and teaching techniques, which hopefully will inspire students’ exploration of 2D and 3D materials. Wherever possible we include music, text, media and technology to expand the creative possibilities and give our students the chance to find one aspect of art-making with which they really ‘click’ – sometimes unexpectedly and despite their preconceptions.
I was inspired by a marvellous art teacher, Miss Hope, as well as by George Fairfax to whom I wrote when at school because I wanted to know how to become a set painter and work in theatre. He had the grace to write back, invited me to come to the Arts Centre and was incredibly generous with his time and introductions to the set and costume designers. Years later I was honoured to be asked by his widow Vicki to be the artist-in-residence at Armadale Primary School, where I worked with the students as they each painted a tile to contribute to the Fairfax Performance Circle we created in the school grounds.
DO YOU HAVE ARTISTIC PURSUITS OUTSIDE OF TEACHING?
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN TEACHING?
I’ve never stopped making my own work – it’s not something I have a choice about. But I have a job I’m passionate about and completely committed to, so I juggle it all as best I can. My last major project was a three-panel gothic screen for St Paul’s Cathedral, which honoured and reinterpreted the Violet Teague oil painting Anzac Christmas that hangs in the cathedral. My work was in the cathedral doorway during Christmas 2014, then beneath the Teague painting throughout the Anzac centenary year, where it was also my tribute to those of my family involved in World War I. Recently we visited our son in Berlin and I found the surfaces of buildings incredibly moving, where they resonated with the history of all the conflict that had taken place – shrapnel, bullet holes, cracks, weathered paint – and I’m trying to make mixed media works on paper about that.
It’s nearly 35 years since I began working as a teacher at another independent school, in the senior art department with year 9-12 students. During that time I also volunteered to help run workshops for disadvantaged teenagers in the vacant classrooms during the holidays. I was offered part-time lecturing roles in painting and drawing in the visual arts degree at RMIT (where I also studied) and later at what was the Institute of Education at Melbourne University, as well as at the VCA and Monash Caulfield. Short-term roles in various primary and secondary schools as an artist-in-residence made me realise how much I love working with younger students. I began at Grimwade House in 2000 as a year 1 teacher, which was an exhilarating experience. When I had the opportunity to join the Visual Arts Department I worked with two inspiring heads of department: Marita O’Keefe, then Sandra Morgan, and in 2009 I felt very privileged to be offered the role of Head of Visual Arts.
WHAT’S THE BEST PART OF WORKING IN A COEDUCATIONAL SCHOOL?
My first day of teaching at Grimwade House was in a beautiful old room upstairs in Harleston, the heart of the Junior Primary section of Grimwade, where the welcoming Head of Harleston Margot Wood had left a bunch of camellias in a vase on my desk. The summer sun was shining through the branches of the big old oak tree and the balcony windows, into a room full of excited students. I vividly remember pausing and making myself remember all the details and feeling as excited as the students.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT FOR YOUNG STUDENTS TO BE CREATIVE?
I think it’s important for all of us to try to be aware of the creativity within us. It can inspire curiosity and lateral thinking and a healthy optimism in the face of huge challenges. It’s especially important for 22 THE WEEKLY REVIEW \ AUGUST 17, 2016

ABOUT MELBOURNE GRAMMAR SCHOOL » An Anglican school catering for students from prep to year 12. The Grimwade House campus (prep-year 6) is coeducational while Wadhurst Middle School (years 7 & 8) and Senior School (years 9-12) are boys only. » Has campuses in Caulfield and Melbourne. » Offers day schooling and boarding. » mgs.vic.edu.au
At the heart of the school’s values is “A Sense of Community” and it’s marvellous to get to know families while their children are at Grimwade House, where it makes great sense for brothers and sisters to be educated together. The school becomes an extension of family and the school’s holistic approach to education – physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual – is enhanced by this sense of connectedness. The art room is open at lunchtimes on Tuesdays and Thursdays for students (and staff) who want to spend some time on particular projects and it’s a real joy to see siblings planning a special surprise, for example for grandparents celebrating a big anniversary or to welcome a new baby brother or sister. I am passionate about the value of drawing and have linked up with the Centre for Drawing in the UK so that a couple of times we have run The Big Draw, where we set up a whole day of drawing in which families as well as the students participate. ● melissa.heagney@theweeklyreview.com.au

teacher ross baker shows how science can be fun, interesting & relevant, writes melissa heagney
I
t wasn’t until he reached university that Firbank Grammar – Sandringham House primary teacher Ross Baker became passionate about teaching young students science and technology. LEARN Ross was studying his Bachelor of Education at the University of Melbourne when he chose science as his specialist subject. “My enjoyment of science really grew after school and I think that in some way comes down to the ways it was presented and the opportunities that I had to learn,” Ross says. “It wasn’t presented to me as something that can essentially be really, really fun and interesting and so relevant to the world we live in.” At Firbank’s coeducational junior campus in Sandringham, Ross teaches the year 3s about science and technology, making his lessons fun and as interesting as possible for the young students. He also relishes the opportunity to link science and technology into the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP). Ross also runs the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Multimedia) Club at the school’s STEAM Centre where students from years 4, 5 and 6 meet on Mondays to create and learn using a range of technologies. “It’s a very creative and innovative centre with lots of opportunities for students to collaborate and experience,” Ross says. “Students have access to woodwork facilities, 3D printers, a green screen, electronics kits and more. It’s called a maker-space in lots of schools,” he says. “The focus is on helping the children, building up their skills so that they can complete projects they are really interested in. To make things that do things, tinker and build upon those skills. We’ve made things like timber jewellery boxes and bottle rockets and we work with students on projects that they’re really interested in.” Ross also incorporates thinking skills such Inspired: Firbank Grammar – Sandringham House teacher Ross Baker with grade 6 students Callum (left) and Alex.

Driving it is effortless, it’s nicely responsive and always robust. It’s comfortable and feels solid and well-made, with excellent fit and finish. There’s pretty good room everywhere, too, including the cargo area. It’s only when you start figuring the amount of interior space that you realise this is a deceptively large car – to drive, it feels smaller than it really is. But don’t fret, it has a good back-up camera and it’s easy to reverse park, even in tight spots. The electronics can get challenging and require patience as you get to know your way around – it comes with time – but the audio is pretty good and passenger comfort is great throughout. ●

your speed, so the motor is smooth, flexible and easy to drive. The Outback is certainly not quick off the mark but there’s solid performance at all times. And it is competent in the bush. It might not be an off-roader but it will do muddy tracks and corrugated dirt roads without a problem. It rides pretty well although it can get a bit bouncy over rough bitumen. The handling is impressive for a wagon and the rear end is tied down very well for fast, predictable cornering that always feels secure. All-wheel-drive helps here and it’s good in the wet. The Outback isn’t cheap but then you pay for quality, and some of the extra you’ve shelled out comes back to you down the track in higher resale value. Even so I think the sub-$40,000 base model, also with the diesel engine, presents better value. ●

ubelso by Canny, a national award-winning range of luxury predesigned architectural houses, has opened its latest design in New Street, Brighton. This elegantly proportioned double-storey contemporary home has three integrated living zones, four bedrooms, a study, covered outdoor living, butler’s pantry, an arrivals room and a large garage with space for two Range Rovers and a hobby car. Every facet integrates luxury into everyday living, from its free-flowing layout to the cutting-edge interior scheme with mid-20th-century modern and Scandinavian touches and highly considered finishes and fittings. Canny Group business manager Damian Quigley says the Lubelso range offers new home buyers certainty of price, delivery and design starting from $878,000 for a 330-square-metre house with high-end architectural elements including three-metre ceiling heights, full-height doors and windows and seamless custom cabinetry. The New Street Lubelso has a contemporary facade, one of five choices. As displayed, the 488-square-metre New Street house, excluding site costs and pool, is $1.35 million. The full-height front door opens to look out to one of the two courtyards tucked either side of the ground level. Between the entrance and garage there’s a large, fully fitted study and an arrivals room where each family member has a cupboard fitted for bags, coats, sports gear and shoes. A second living area looks to both courtyards and, with a service pod of powder room, laundry and butler’s pantry, separates the entrance zone from rear family living, dining and kitchen.
The kitchen’s flawless black timber veneer and natural white 2pac joinery and grey marble-topped 3.5-metre island bench integrate effortlessly within the living space, which opens to covered outdoor living and an Integrated Pools by Canny pool. A tall bank of custom timber cabinetry conceals entertainment technology with a
remote-controlled Jetmaster fire and long marble hearth beneath. The stairs divide the first level’s sumptuous main suite from three further bedrooms, kids’ activity room, family bathroom and a powder room. The main suite’s foyer opens to an expansive room with four tall windows between the facade’s deep blades. A long,
low timber veneer drawer bench divides the dressing area’s lengths of fully fitted timber veneer robes. The en suite is spectacular: skylight over walk-in shower, heated floors, double marble vanity, matt black tapware and free-standing marble resin bath. ● LIZ McLACHLAN lmclachlan@theweeklyreview.com.au

H
ere’s a house that is less about what lies within, and more about what lies beyond. Not that it isn’t an appealing and practical contemporary family home; just completed, it gleams with light-filled open spaces, pristine inclusions and the promise of happy times. But this two-storey, four-bedroom, Stonehaven-built abode is taken to a higher level by virtue of its location, which offers a remarkable window to the panorama of Port Phillip Bay stretching to Arthurs Seat. Opposite the 654-square-metre block is a grassy slope to the beach so unimpeded water views are enjoyed from the ground-floor lounge room, as well as from the first-floor living and dining area, kitchen and full-width balcony. With glass the key to maximising the seascape, the facade comprises black-framed picture windows, sliding doors and a clear balustrade. The interior is washed in soft natural light from the south. The master stroke is a horizontal slot window in the front corner of the house, forming a splashback above the kitchen’s Caesarstone workbench. It frames a snapshot to the west of waves splashing over a rocky outcrop at Quiet Corner, a pocket frequented by black swans. This is the vendor’s favourite vista and he would probably have gazed at it endlessly if it weren’t that his daughter refuses to leave her school and friends in the eastern suburbs, where the family was staying while this house was built to replace their outdated accommodation. “I always wanted to move back here,” the vendor says. “You feel so relaxed and forget your worries here. The colour changes daily or hourly; the sunrise, the sunset is beautiful.” He says he wanted Stonehaven to create a homely quality. “Lots of luxury houses are good but they don’t feel like you belong. Here, it is comfortable, the fantastic view, quiet bedrooms, lots of living area and privacy is good, too.” Coming in off Beach Road, there’s low-key planting, driveway parking and a double garage with rear roller door access to a boat space. Inside the wide pivot front door, tan oak floors sweep up the central hall, into the open-plan lounge room to the right, and under an open-tread staircase, which wraps around a two-person lift. Alongside the stairs, double-height glazing on the east side draws in light and greenery from a courtyard garden and neighbouring properties. To the left of the front door is access to the garage and laundry. At the back are three bedrooms, one with an en suite, and a bathroom with the toilet and bath/shower sectioned off. Rear glass doors slide open to a private garden of bluestone paving and artificial turf. At the top of the stairs are a well-fitted study and powder room. Head left to the main living area and elegant white and ebony kitchen, or go right to a smaller living room, which is grouped with the main bedroom and an adjoining sheltered balcony. The bedroom has a large walk-in wardrobe and a crisp tiled en suite. Floor-level picture windows make a showpiece of the north-aspect outlook, a tall hedge of pleached ficus trees and glimpses of a neighbouring tennis court beyond. ● JACQUI HAMMERTON property@theweeklyreview.com.au

ALBERT PARK \ 38 LITTLE PAGE STREET It’s easy to mistake cobblestoned Little Page Street, just two blocks from the beach, for just another laneway. Running between Albert Park and Middle Park, the street has plenty of charm and character. There are petite cottages on one side and townhouses on the other. This single-fronted house on the southern side of the street shows how much can be achieved on a small footprint. It presents a classic block-fronted facade with a gabled roof and a white picket fence. The uncomplicated floor plan starts with a bedroom and bathroom with European laundry. At the rear is an open-plan kitchen and living area that features innovative storage ideas. Underneath the polished floorboards in the living room is a space built to hold a kayak. Now it is a cellar able to hold 144 dozen wine bottles. A floating timber joinery unit runs the length of the living room, providing ample hiding space for toys and other possessions. Bifold glass doors make this area immeasurably lighter and open to a private decked courtyard. The kitchen has an industrial bent, revealing itself in the subway-tiled splashback. Open stairs contribute to the light and airy feel and lead up to two bedrooms. The main has a built-in wardrobe and compact en suite. Next door, a smaller room could be a nursery or home office. ● FRANCESCA CARTER

Minutes from Bay Street’s cafes and shops and the light rail to the city, this property is a great starting point for those wanting to secure a foothold in popular Port Melbourne. At the end of a cul-de-sac, the single-level townhouse was built in the 1980s and is one of two on the block. The building’s pared-back style features a facade of brickwork framed by a pitched roofline and white timber panelling. Beyond a picket fence, the paved forecourt has space to park two cars. The side entry opens to an L-shaped living and dining room. There are polished timber floors and high windows on three sides of this generous space. A sliding glass door from the dining area leads to the front courtyard. The adjacent kitchen is a crisp affair in white and taupe, with stone benchtops and plenty of cabinetry. Beyond it is the laundry, which has external access. The two carpeted bedrooms are at the rear of the house. They share a bathroom with stylish black tiles and a separate powder room. ● FRANCESCA CARTER

BRIGHTON \ 135 HEAD STREET The seven sisters of Head Street are heritage-listed dames with similarly good-looking facades – a verandah on either side of a soaring central gable, plus a stunning leadlight entrance. All seven were created in 1911 by landowner and builder George Braid, and No. 135 is one of them. The elegant house retains its original highlights, such as decorative timberwork, ceiling roses, dramatic doorways and ornate fireplaces, thanks to a tasteful renovation that gave it a modern makeover about 30 years ago. The renovation has turned the rear into a light-bathed living, dining and kitchen zone that opens to a deck and lawn in the backyard. A barbecue is at one end and a shed shaped like a Brighton bathing box is at the other. The front half of the house is given over to the study, which has a separate entrance from the left verandah, and the three bedrooms. The main bedroom, with its en suite and walk-in wardrobe, spreads out along one side of the house and opens to the side yard. The two other bedrooms share the bathroom, which has a deep spa. The weatherboard house has a palette of dark floorboards contrasting against white walls. It is close to parks, schools, shopping and Gardenvale train station, and is ideal for young families who love the beach and want more space and quiet than they’d enjoy in Elwood or St Kilda. ● HARBANT GILL

Standing out among the weatherboard houses that comprise most of this street, this solid brick beauty, built c1880, has been extended without losing its original character. Stained-glass windows in turquoise, rose and emerald hues adorn the porch. The long entrance hall has an arch, deep cornices and Baltic pine floors. The three spacious bedrooms, two with their original fireplaces, are off the hall. The main bedroom is at the front and has a walk-in wardrobe and en suite with its own external door. At the rear is a vast living space with north-facing colonial windows and another ornate fireplace. Cream-coloured carpet lines the bright living area, while doors from the dining space open to the verandah, which runs almost the length of the northern boundary. A rectangular cutaway leads to the expansive kitchen. There’s a family bathroom back here, too. Trees surround the lawn in the backyard, making for a leafy outlook. A single garage has been added up front, and there’s parking for more cars in the driveway. ● STEPHEN A. RUSSELL
