ESCAPE SPECIAL EDITION

hen it comes to the most memorable moments on Australian television, we have much to thank the Logies for. There was the infamous moment at the 1973 awards when US cop show star Michael Cole drunkenly slurred “sh..” – the first time an expletive was uttered on Aussie TV. Who can forget 1979, when Logies host Bert Newton quipped to special guest Muhammad Ali “I like the boy”, not realising “boy” was a racial slur in America. And this year’s “do not adjust your sets” speech by Gold Logie winner Waleed Aly, calling for greater diversity on our screens, will no doubt go down in TV history. But for me, nothing beats the moment when 2015 Gold Logie winner Carrie Bickmore donned a blue beanie in honour of her late husband who died of brain cancer. The gesture touched hearts around the country but it was also the start of a new mission for TV’s golden girl. Read about her ambitious new project inside. ●

SARAH HARRIS talks to A TV STAR ON A MISSION

he golden girl of Australian television Carrie Bickmore is feeling a wee bit the goose. Weeks before the official launch of her range of fashion beanies to raise money for the cause closest to her heart, the much-loved TV presenter’s charitable foundation has all-but sold out of merchandise. “It has been a quick lesson in business,” the host of Network Ten’s The Project admits with a wry laugh. “Because I thought no one would buy one, I significantly under-ordered. I have just had to put in a new order and try and back-date product. I’m like, OK, this is quite the experience.” To be fair, becoming a beanie broker was not something the mother of two envisaged when she made her poignant and powerful speech accepting the 2015 Gold Logie for most popular personality on Australian television.

‘You know you are favourite to win, have you got a speech ready?’,” the 35-year-old recalls. “It was only after I got off the phone I thought, ‘Oh, maybe I will have to say something’. “So I sat there for an hour and I am, like, what am I going to talk about that is going to actually resonate with people? The brain cancer journey of Greg and I has shaped so much of my life. This [the Logie nomination] was about celebrating my work life, but my working life sat side by side a really challenging personal life. “My life isn’t all hair and make-up and red carpets. There have been some very challenging moments and I wanted to let people know at home they are not alone in whatever their challenge is. “The only reason I thought of the beanie was because I often think of Greg wearing one. So I called this factory about an hour and

a half out of Melbourne and drove there and bought 100 beanies. I thought, if I don’t need them I will just give them to the homeless.” Carrie told no one of her plan except her immediate family and one friend from work. “I just kept it to myself really and, to be honest, I didn’t know if I would have the strength to do it. Even as they made the announcement all I could think was, ‘Do I take the beanie or not, do I take the beanie or not?’. But I am so glad I did because what has happened since has just completely blown my mind.”

(BRONWYN KIDD)

Carrie captivated her peers attending the glittering industry event, and the watching nation when she used her acceptance speech to raise awareness of brain cancer. Her voice catching with emotion, she explained how the insidious disease not only stole her husband Greg Lange, but kills more people under the age of 40 than any other cancer and more children than any other disease. And she described how her family was irrevocably changed by brain cancer when Greg died two days after Christmas 2010 at age 34. “Over 10 years I watched him suffer multiple seizures a day, lose feeling down one side of his body, have his little three-year-old push him in his wheelchair because he couldn’t walk any more. He was an incredibly brave man … but he shouldn’t have had to go through that,” she said. She concluded the speech by donning a blue beanie – just like the one Greg used to wear to hide the scars of multiple surgeries – and appealed to colleagues to do the same the next day. Instantly, Carrie’s #beanies4braincancer was trending on Twitter. Between the glittering Paolo Sebastian gown and the incongruous headgear – the frock and the hard place – the three-time Logie winner had opened a window on her soul and the public, already adoring, loved her a little more. But it so nearly didn’t happen. Two days before the Logies, a friend voiced what all the punters were saying. “He said,

arrie was 19 and studying at Perth’s Curtin University when she met Greg. Enrolling in journalism was one of those sliding-door moments, after she turned down a scholarship to study dance at the urging of a careers adviser. “At the time, the careers adviser saying ‘you will never make a career out of dance’ was probably an irresponsible thing to say because, one, she hadn’t seen me dance and, two, I don’t think you should ever tell somebody – even though their dream is big – that it is not possible. “At the same time I am always glad she did tell me because the path my life has led has been incredibly rewarding,” says Carrie, who enjoyed the more glamorous side of the action hosting So You Think You Can Dance Australia (series four in 2010).

Born in Adelaide, Carrie moved to Perth at five with her mother Jennie following her parents’ divorce. Jennie, who would go on to become a highly regarded educator, remarried, raising Carrie along with her two elder stepsisters, Claud and Ash. Carrie describes herself as “a bit of a dag” as a teen. “I was pretty conscientious. I did my homework and had it in on time and had assignments finished days before they needed to be. I know a lot of people assume I was incredibly outgoing at school, but I was a very different person to who I am now. I was very easily intimidated. I was intimidated by other girls who I am sure now were not terrifying, but in my mind were terrifying.” With the same diligence she exhibited during her years at the Anglican all-girls school Perth College, Carrie applied herself to uni and, well before graduating in 2000, she had a gig at Perth radio station 92.9FM. In 2001 Carrie and Greg moved to Melbourne where she joined Nova 100.3.

as she had seen her mother (Dr Jennie Bickmore-Brand) work. “I grew up with my mum, who was contributing so much and working so hard and that was what I saw as the norm. Every night she would make dinner and clean up and I would see her in the study for two hours trying to complete her doctorate. I think it took her eight or nine years while raising three girls to complete. She never complained about it, just had her head down and bum up and did it.” In 2005 Carrie and Greg married and in 2007 they welcomed their son Oliver, by which time the “laughing person’s newsreader” had already become a popular television presence on Rove Live, while still working at Nova with Dave Hughes and Kate Langbroek. “I was working full-time, he [Greg] was going for treatment and we had our little boy and never knew quite what was around the corner,” she says. “We had a mortgage and it is not cheap to be sick. I often think I worked so

Greg lived to see his wife win her first Logie in 2010 for most popular new female talent for The 7pm Project – as The Project was originally known. In the hard years that followed, their son Oliver brought joy to her life. After Greg’s death came a new relationship with The Project producer Chris Walker (now producer of Charlie Pickering’s The Weekly Weekly) and in February 2015 Carrie gave birth to their daughter Evie. “I often read headlines about my new life and how I have moved forward and it amuses me, because anyone who has suffered grief will tell you it is not like that,” she says. “Grief is a really tricky thing; it is a very fluid thing and I don’t think there is ever any end point to it. But I’m OK with that. I can’t imagine it any other way. My past will always be with me, it shaped who I am today and I wouldn’t want a world where Greg wasn’t part of it. I look at my son and I see Greg. He is very much like him in different ways. We talk about him all the time.

PROJECT Part of the motivation to move east was to be closer to her father Brian – a founding executive of Austereo and its longest-serving director until his retirement in 2004. The young couple’s future looked bright, but within months Greg was diagnosed with a brain tumour – its shadow lengthening as it recurred after treatment. “Greg would often say, ‘I just feel like there is no one that understands’. There wasn’t a brain cancer community that we, at least, could find or were tapped into. “We didn’t know any other people who were in their 20s who were going through this stuff. People in their 20s are supposed to be partying, travelling the world and we just didn’t do any of that. “We never knew what each six-month scan was going to bring. It was a completely different and an incredibly isolating experience, which bought us very close together but made life challenging in different ways. I was forced to grow up very quickly.” Through it all Carrie worked, just

incredibly hard, and whether that has helped me get where I am from a career perspective. But I wasn’t doing it from that motivation. Just working in this industry I was happy enough. And it was a great outlet as well. “There were times when Greg would say to me, ‘I don’t want you to just sit by my bedside and watch me be sick’. He wanted me to have things to come home from work and tell him about, experiences and stuff.”

(RYAN PIERSE \ GETTY IMAGES)

“Grief is a really tricky thing; it is very fluid & I don’t think there is ever any end point to it”

“At the same time I am also very aware that I don’t want Ollie’s life to be heavy. I want it to still have the lightness of childhood. He was obviously dealt an extremely tough card very early on and I look at him now and I am so incredibly proud of who he is. He is just a gorgeous boy.” Now, on top of the demands of a high-profile job, the needs of her family and the pressure, as ambassador for beauty brand Garnier, to look good even when she steps out on a school run, there’s the business of the beanies. Even before her latest order of beanies (available at the end of July) Carrie had reached almost $800,000 of her $1 million fund-raising target through her BrainBeats concert and public donations. She has already presented the first $250,000 grant to the Royal Melbourne Hospital Neuroscience Foundation towards developing a blood test for brain cancer. But in this particular battle there is still a very long way to go. “Like most women do, I often feel tired. I am exhausted sometimes, but when I look back at the past 15 years of my life I have this perspective of knowing that I am so fortunate that I am here, so fortunate that I can do any of this, so stop being tired Carrie and just get on with it.” ● sharris@theweeklyreview.com.au

Paradigm Hill Col’s Block Shiraz 2012 (Mornington Peninsula) $49; 13.1%

Hither & Yon Aglianico 2013 (McLaren Vale) $27; 12.6%

A wine of true personality – a bit like its maker, George Mihaly. It’s a bit funky – reductive is the winemaking term – and stalky, but I love wines like this. Behind the funk is a spicy shiraz of perfume, with black cherries and blood plums. It’s an elegant delight in the mouth, with black and blue fruits, spice and pepper. ●

Aglianico’s a late-ripening grape from the Campania and Basilicata regions of southern Italy. It’s not grown much here but it’s a grape with a real future. Fresh plum and raspberry – a little pinot-like – white pepper and wild herb flavours are supported by juicy acid and sandy tannins. Note the low alcohol. ●

Winemaker Sam Coverdale makes a range of wines on the Mornington Peninsula under the Polperro label, plus wines from further afield under Even Keel. This is a gloriously perfumed and spicy wine and behind the spice are blueberry, violet, dark cherry and cured-meat flavours. There’s a silkiness to the texture and great length. ●

called rotundone that has a strong peppery character. It comes from the skins of grapes and develops late into the ripening process. The longer the grapes hang on the vine – in cool climates that can be a month or two later than warm areas – the greater the concentration. It’s found in a range of grapes – pinot noir, riesling, graciano and durif – but most often in shiraz. It’s a character I love. ● GOT A QUESTION EMAIL \

WILD MUSHROOM RISOTTO

EMILIA \ CITY

milia-Romagna, at the knee of Italy’s boot, is the region responsible for many of the country’s most excellent edible exports. Balsamic vinegar, parmigiano reggiano, salumi, tortellini … even spag bol! So imagine, if you will, a restaurant dedicated entirely to all of these, smartly tucked away in one of Melbourne’s laneways, with a revolving list of stupendous seasonal specials and the kind of charming staff who don’t baulk at your propensity to get excited by said menu, over-order and then ask for doggy bags. Bene! Everything’s great, but the salumi e gnocco fritto is a must if “meat donuts” are a thing you want in your life. Lard-based dough is deep-fried and turned into puffy pillows ready for mortadella mousse. The wild mushroom risotto is also remarkable: pine mushrooms and Slippery Jacks bobbing about in perfectly montecato-d wholemeal carnaroli rice. Ask for the tortellini con brodo – it’s not on the menu, probably because folding the tiny tortellini requires regular rests. For dessert, the Vienetta 2015 is not what I remember of Vienetta c1995; the ricotta mousse, semifreddo and boozy chocolate sauce is a fitting arrivederci to one of my favourite dinners of the year. ●

BRUNCH \ UNCOMMON Close to work, it’s a cafe with a difference. No refined sugar and gluten-free. Definitely the best cafe in Windsor. A DATE \ EMBLA This dark and intimate wine bar by the Town Mouse guys, on Russell Street, is perfect for a date. The small menu has some seriously good food and amazing wines.

WE LOVE …

READING DING \\ I adore Womankind magazine, Womankind particularly the latest issue which combines philosophy and Egyptology. One article in particular, about the importance of reconnecting with Mother Nature and the feminine side of farming, is just divine. ●

I love the black ’n’ white linguini with crab and chocolate salty caramel for dessert. TO SEE & BE SEEN \ OTER is the hot new place that I 100 per cent wanna try next.

A FANCY DINNER \ AMARU on High Street in Armadale has one of the best degustations I’ve had in Melbourne. Definitely a place for special occasions. A BIG GROUP \ LING NAM in Chinatown for staple late-night eats. There’s always a quick turnover, so for those unplanned group visits, it’s definitely the best bet. ●

COOKING \ Brussels sprouts. If you cringed as you read that, you’ve obviously never burnt them. Halve and whack them in the oven on 220 degrees, with a pinch of brown sugar, salt flakes and plenty of butter. Roast, giving the tray the odd shake, for 20-30 minutes or until the sprouts are basically ruined (you’d think). ●

12 THE WEEKLY REVIEW \ JULY 13, 2016

pera has a reputation for being supersized. Leaving aside the cliche about plus-sized women singing, the art form is characterised by melodrama, grandiose performances and running times that can numb even the hardiest of bums. The latest production from Victorian Opera bucks this trend. At just under an hour, Cinderella aims for the smallest of crowds. Specifically, children aged three to 12. “With respect to the art of opera, it is a dying art form,” says director Libby Hill. “The audiences are getting older. It’s really important to expose kids to opera from a very young age. They don’t need to like it, but to not have an experience of it would be sort of sacrilegious.” As it is, the kids do like it. This is the third year running Victorian Opera has run a children’s program, alongside school “incursions”, for which a company member leads a workshop with a class. “All the kids who have experienced those workshops come away loving the opera. Last year, a group of kids who came to one of our shows was afterwards running madly around the Arts Centre forecourt screaming at the top of their lungs that they wanted to be opera singers, so it obviously works,”

(CHARLIE KINROSS)

wat c h \ victorian oper a

Libby says. The company has learnt a lot about what works by listening to the sort of unflinchingly honest reactions only children can provide. While Cinderella will be sung in the original French, each section will be preceded by an explanatory slide. Likewise, the performers have been directed to be unusually physical for opera, so the action is easy to follow. Libby says performances are a relaxed affair offering an authentic taste of opera without the accompanying snootiness. “We encourage children to giggle, to applaud and boo if you hate the stepmother.” This year’s program also includes new family opera The Pied Piper Piper. ● mbartlett@theweeklyreview.com.au » Cinderella, Arts Centre Melbourne, July 16 (three performances), $30-$45, victorianopera.com.au

GHOSTBUSTERS Yes, the Ghostbusters are back to trample on your childhood. Or so armies of internet cry-babies would have us believe. Director Paul Feig (Bridesmaids) has rebooted the ’80s classic with four of the best female comic actors in the biz. Given our current obsession with resurrecting franchises, gender-flipping does seem the best way to get more women on screen.

Stranger Things \ Netflix from July 15. netflix.com.au

The latest big hitter from Netflix is a nostalgia binge-fest. It’s set in the 1980s and cherry-picks the best of that decade’s pop culture. When young boy Will goes missing after a strenuous Dungeons and Dragons session, his small town finds itself drawn into a (literally) monstrous conspiracy. Winona Ryder stars as his mum, with Matthew Modine as a sinister scientist. It’s ET meets Stephen King. ● STRANGER THINGS

Delta Goodrem \ Wings of the Wild (Sony) deltagoodrem.com

Delta comes out fighting on album number five. Dramatic opener Feline sees her turn on her detractors with claws out (her time on Cats has clearly left its mark), ready to be the “fiercest queen out in the wild”. This theme of positive thinking runs through the record (see also Wings and Enough) – it’s basically the pop equivalent of a self-help book. But there’s nothing wrong with aiming to inspire, particularly when the tunes are this confident, memorable and thrilling. ●

INGO REISCH Ingo Reisch started working at Doncaster BMW in 1993. Seven years later, he had the opportunity to buy the company with a partner. The business now has more than 200 employees and a second location in Bundoora. Not even the 2008 global financial crisis could deter Ingo. “Rather than slow down, we did the opposite and accelerated,” he says. “It all comes down to how you see everything and looking for the positive in the negative because even in a recession, there are opportunities.” (SCOTT McNAUGHTON)

The reality We mums and our little ones sit on the floor in the middle of a circle of about 15 residents. Our therapist, Michelle, plays guitar and leads us in some nursery rhymes and songs to warm things up, including

Row Your Boat and Wheels on the Bus, as well as some classics for the oldies such as You Are My Sunshine and Que Sera Sera. The kids squirm, squeal, wriggle and dance, and some of the residents join in with singing and actions. Balloons, instruments and a bubble machine are introduced. At one particularly touching moment, we’re invited to place our child on a resident’s knee and sing a song with them. I meet a lovely woman called Hannah who holds my boy and smiles, and I feel teary with how lovely the moment is. At the end of the session, one delighted gentleman stands up and announces, on behalf of all the residents, that the organisers of the session should win a gold medal.

A few years later, she opened a shop with a business partner in Armadale, then decided to work for herself and opened Carrington Craft in Warrandyte.

ustraliaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first saint, Mary MacKillop, said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;People should never see a need and do nothing to helpâ&#x20AC;?. She was definitely a woman of her word. Given the number of children without an education living in rural Australia at the time, St Mary of the Cross MacKillop (as she is now known) helped establish schools and worked with the poor and disenfranchised, teaching them mathematics and how to read. Her philosophy to help those in need has been adopted by schools across Melbourne. In fact, giving back to the community has a long history at Melbourne schools which, like St Mary, are inspired by their community and religious beliefs. Students and teachers often offer a helping hand through volunteering or fund-raising for charities.

empathy for others is a key part of the curriculum, writes melissa heagney Over the years, social justice has become a mainstay of the curriculum of Melbourne schools and a way for students to learn and inspire others outside of the classroom. Catholic Education Melbourne executive director Stephen Elder says the philosophy behind social justice in schools takes inspiration from the life of Jesus and his work with the poor and marginalised. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His philosophy was to feed the hungry, love God and love your neighbour â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to love everybody â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;as I have loved youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;,â&#x20AC;? Stephen says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[The] teaching really centres around what Jesus has inspired us to do.â&#x20AC;? He says, in modern times, Pope Francis has continued to inspire the Catholic and

wider community, including schools, to be of assistance and â&#x20AC;&#x153;get their hands dirtyâ&#x20AC;? helping those in need. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Catholic schools in and around Melbourne and Geelong have adopted several approaches and programs to making social justice and service to the community part of the curriculum,â&#x20AC;? Stephen says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In some schools, students visit elderly citizensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; homes, engaging with and learning from community elders. They also share skills, such as teaching residents how to email family members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When students truly engage, they are often surprised at how much they love this kind ofÂ work,â&#x20AC;? Stephen says.

Secondary schools also embark on outward-facing social justice projects overseas, where students work directly with local communities to build social capital or work in orphanages. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all part of providing an insight into the benefits of giving up your time to help others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope the joy of giving gets into our studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; DNA and inspires them, and others, to value social justice activities as young adults,â&#x20AC;? he says. At Xavier College, the Social Justice Network extends to parents of students. The program was inspired by the studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; work in social justice programs across Melbourne and the world.

“We hope the joy of giving gets into our students’ DNA & inspires them to value social justice activities” – Stephen Elder

Xavier, and other schools, including Siena College and Haileybury, see their work as an opportunity to make a difference in the world. Siena College principal Gaynor Robson-Garth says students are able to enhance their global perspectives. “For all at Siena College, social justice is about making a difference in the world, through compassion and service to others,” she says. “We help our students to critically examine the world and not be complacent.” Haileybury marketing director Sarah Bryant says there are multiple benefits. “For students it creates awareness of their community, as well as their own self-worth,” she says. “We all benefit from living in a just society – one that supports the law and human rights, where each individual is valued as an equal member of that society.” ● melissa.heagney@theweeklyreview.com.au

Cause I can Dollars for those in need

ach year, Melbourne schools help to raise millions of dollars for those in need, locally and internationally. Fund-raising is a large part of schools’ social justice programs. Money raised goes to causes that include cancer awareness and research charities, The Salvation Army, World Vision, Caritas and even other schools in Australia and overseas. While many fund-raisers are one-offs, some school programs have a long history. This includes the Maytime Fair that Xavier College, a Catholic Jesuit school, has held annually for 64 years. The school has raised millions of dollars for the Jesuit mission, which helps refugees, students and communities in developing

countries, including East Timor and India, as well as other Asian and African nations. Projects include improving the educational outcomes for students in these countries, offering pastoral care and advocacy for refugees, as well as medical care and social services. St Monica’s College also has a long-running fund-raiser. For more than 30 years staff have helped to raise money for the Presentation Sisters in Pakistan. The sisters run convent schools across Pakistan that provide education for poor children. Money raised by St Monica’s has helped villages in the southern Sindh region of Pakistan, especially after a 2006 flood ravaged the area. Money was also used to buy a solar water purifier for the Francis Nagar village in the same region, ensuring residents have access to clean drinking water.

Kilvington Grammar School is a Baptist school whose houses each have a nominated charity to raise money for. Every term, one of the houses – Fysh, Barrett, Fethers and Burman – runs a series of fund-raising programs. Local charities, including CanTeen and Very Special Kids, benefit from the students’ generosity. Kilvington is also involved in Operation Christmas Child run by Samaritan’s Purse. It is an annual program in which children raise money and donate toys for other children overseas. Haileybury has also taken part in this program, sending more than 500 shoeboxes of toys to children in need in the past six years. Haileybury marketing director Sarah Bryant says the school donates useful gifts to children overseas, some of whom might never have been given a gift before.

“The boxes are sent to needy children in South-East Asia, the Pacific and Papua New Guinea,” Sarah says. Haileybury students also support The School of St Jude in Tanzania. Senior students from Castlefield House raise money for projects at the school. “The School of St Jude provides free, quality education to some of Tanzania’s poorest children,” Sarah says. “Every year, the boys fund one teacher and two students to attend and work at the school. Each year they can raise between $2000 to

$3000 and in 2016 they have set their target at $5000.” This type of fund-raising gives students the chance to see how they are changing the lives of children overseas. “The Castlefield boys receive letters from the students that they support, which take pride of place within the House Room,” Sarah says. “The boys were also able to watch online as the first batch of year 12 students graduated in 2015 – it was a very special moment.” ● melissa.heagney@theweeklyreview.com.au

Helping hands Melbourne students learn through volunteering “While they’re not raising money, what they are doing, in terms of service, is giving these people the voice that they do not usually have.” While students at Siena College in Camberwell volunteer their time, teachers, principals and parents at the school are also involved in volunteering. Staff are regular volunteers at the St Vinnies’ soup kitchen each weekend. Principal Gaynor Robson-Garth says it’s a great way for educators at the school to lead by example. “For more than a year, staff have been volunteering at the St Vinnies soup van on Sunday evenings,” Gaynor says. “Over 20 staff are permanent volunteers on the roster, with others on a wait-list to join. “Through [teachers] sharing their experiences, students have now requested to help too, with the younger students (aged 14-17) doing food preparation and those over 18 being able to actually assist with distribution.

THE EXPERIENCE IS (SUPPLIED)

ne of the strongest philosophies behind social justice in schools is, undoubtedly, volunteering. Many schools have adopted programs that allow students to volunteer time to charities and educational projects in their local communities and across Melbourne. Not only do people in need benefit, it allows students to learn from their experiences. St Monica’s College in Epping encourages students to visit the Exodus Community in the Olympic Village, West Heidelberg, not too far from the school. St Monica’s social justice co-ordinator, Fadi Elbarbar, says year 12 students visit this area to meet the people who live in the Olympic Village. It’s one of the poorest areas in the state. “They walk the streets with these people, learn about the area and how inherent poverty affects them and their families,” Fadi says. “They then sit down and discuss what they saw and how they feel.

“Not only are current staff and students involved, but past students have continued to volunteer to help,” she says. Siena’s students also volunteer internationally. Year 11 students experience life at the Kopanang Community Trust in South Africa, which brings together women in need to teach them life skills and also cares for orphans. Students live and work in the community for a fortnight. “The experience is a life-changing one for those who participate and it has a profound impact on how they see and

understand poverty and the lives of those less fortunate than themselves,” Gaynor says. Through volunteering, Xavier College students learn about the school’s Jesuit philosophy of social justice and giving back to those in need. Students are required to volunteer at least 150 hours in their senior years through programs that include teaching English to newly arrived Australians. Parents and ex-students (more than 450) are also involved through Xavier’s Social Justice Network, working locally and overseas on social justice projects.

Among its many programs, Xavier students volunteer through Rotary Gardening, an initiative in which students don gardening gloves to help those in need. They also offer their time to St Catherine’s Nursing Home and by teaching English to students who have migrated from countries where English is not their first language. Other schools, including Sacre Coeur and Loreto Toorak, are also involved in this “Friday Night School” in Richmond. Xavier College students also volunteer on Thursday afternoons after school at Yooralla Balwyn, taking part in the art circle program.

Students assist groups at the school with their works of art. At Kilvington Grammar School in Ormond students from year 7 to senior years take part in voluntary work. Year 9s work with a charity called Helping Hands, which makes prosthetic hands for people in countries including Afghanistan and Cambodia. Students also volunteer for a term at a community-based charity or organisation. Community volunteer work is also done by students at Academy of Mary Immaculate. They work with organisations, including the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre, McAuley Community Services for Women and Mercy Aged Care facilities, which are near the school’s Fitzroy campus. The school’s social justice co-ordinator Sue Moran says much of the volunteering is student driven. “Students are moved by the experiences of others and are highly motivated to make a difference,” she says. “Working together to create meaningful outcomes for others is an enriching experience and one that teenagers relish as individuals and as an experience to unite them as a community. “As teachers, we are inspired to deepen their experiences with the many and varied experiences that are available to the education community.” ● melissa.heagney@theweeklyreview.com.au

The program still runs on Thursday nights. They recently received a Melbourne Girls Grammar field award for their work.

ALEXANDRA & LAUREN

Year 11 students Alexandra and Lauren became involved with the Richmond Salvos and started volunteering as leaders in the Kaboom program. It’s a kids’ club held on Friday nights for children who are mostly from Chinese or Vietnamese backgrounds. After a year with the Kaboom program,

Sitting with these children, getting to know them and their unique personalities, has been amazing. This program began our journey into social change and we never would have thought it would become one of the most valued experiences during our school years so far. We recruited some incredible girls from our year level, who helped out by listening to and engaging one-on-one with these children to help them read and improve their English. The ability of our attendees varies from week to week. It has been brilliant to watch the kids develop over time, and to grow in vocabulary and skill. We hope that our reading club not only helps develop the reading and English of the children who attend, but also enables a greater involvement of our school community with service. ● melissa.heagney@theweeklyreview.com.au

xavier college Jack Sestan and Jules Barker graduated from Xavier College last year and are doing a year of service. Both are teaching English to children in Mae Pon, a village in the mountains of northern Thailand. They join other graduates from Jesuit schools in Sydney, taking a gap year to volunteer in remote and poor areas of northern Thailand, Cambodia and Micronesia.

Jules says: Jack and I have been very busy in Mae Pon, enjoying every day. The village is two hours’ drive south-west of Chiang Mai. It is off the beaten track, deep in a national park. Large peaks surround the village on all sides, making for a beautiful sunrise and sunset each day. It is certainly the most beautiful place I have ever been. To live in a place of untouched nature has been brilliant, and we have both said we won’t get sick of the views even in December, which is our last month. The village is run by three young priests, all very funny men, but very kind to all

the 180 students who live here. The town is mainly boarding students aged five to 12 from surrounding villages, and villagers who are teachers and farmers. At first I thought our house was very basic. Our shower was just a bucket of cold water and our furniture consisted of a desk, two chairs and two beds. No kitchen appliances and overall comforts that we enjoy in Melbourne. We have been welcomed as one of the village members and everyone seems happy to talk and meet us. That is precisely why Jack and I don’t need any more than what we have to be comfortable. We don’t sit around coveting our belongings as we do at home in Melbourne. We get out and help in the village duties, of which there are many. The village is entirely self-sufficient, boiling water from the creek for drinking, maintaining a pig sty, and chiefly farming rice and a large orchard. There is much work that needs to be done all the time. We have had the privilege of teaching what the priests here call the special class. They are the 13 older students of the village, aged 13 to 18. We have taught basic conversation as we found their previous English education was only grammar. ●

Autonomous braking with pedestrian identification, adaptive cruise, lane departure and blind spot warnings. This is a city SUV. It’s on 20-inch low-profile run-flat tyres so the ride can get quite harsh, especially out of town. And there’s no spare. While it handles nicely, it doesn’t come close to Range Rover’s Evoque. But it’s quiet and relaxed and there’s a tonne of torque on hand and no significant evidence of turbo lag, which along with silky nine-speed auto, makes this a very smooth operator. And the audio is a cut above. It’s also sharply priced, from $71k. Given the equipment levels, this most-expensive GLC is very good value against its major competitors. ●

There are buttons everywhere; dash, doors, console, below and behind the steering wheel and on the steering wheel; there’s a control wheel on the console and there are menu systems both in the instrument cluster and the centre screen, which looks like an iPad glued to the dash. Pay attention: it’s not all straightforward. Budget a good slice of time to learn how to operate the most perplexing cruise control. The electronic park brake takes some finding. Get used to things, however, and the GLC is a nice way to travel, with plenty of usable power. The cabin is beautifully finished, the seating comfy and supportive.

LUXURIOUS INTERIORS

Melburnians are embracing the New York way of life

t’s something New Yorkers have known for years – the benefits of living in a luxury apartment close to everything they need. Somewhere to eat? Just walk down the street. A sneaky after-dinner cocktail? Well, it’s close by too. Looking after a garden? As Donnie Brasco would say, “Fugeddaboutit” – there’s no need. Apartments are just that low-maintenance. Melburnians are now realising that luxury apartment buildings offer a glamorous lifestyle in a great part of town with everything at their fingertips. One of the newest and most luxurious is Capitol Grand – a two-tower development in one of Melbourne’s most coveted addresses at the corner of Chapel Street and Toorak Road in South Yarra. Capitol Grand’s developers LK Property Group says Melburnians are embracing the idea of apartment living to be closer to work, parks, public transport and entertainment precincts. The company’s CEO Larry Kestelman says it’s also because apartment buildings, including Capitol Grand, have amenities such as pools, gyms, restaurants and shopping on hand. Plus, there is the value of living in a low-maintenance building. Larry says LK Property Group looked at what was happening in major cities such as New York when deciding on the look (and lifestyle) of its two-tower, 50-storey building. It has what is sure to become a landmark design from architect Bates Smart and will be the tallest building in South Yarra. In fact, none taller can be built in the area. “We looked at a lot of buildings, and not just apartment buildings, in London, Paris, Shanghai, Hong Kong – in fact, nearly all the major metropolises around the world. “We’ve particularly looked at the iconic London building, 30 St Mary Axe, more

commonly known as the Gherkin,” Larry says. “Our particular interest stemmed from the fact that it is recognised around the world as an iconic statement of architecture, so we explored its design to inform our own decision-making.” London may have inspired the design, but it was New York that inspired the lifestyle. “One of the central ambitions for designing Capitol Grand was to introduce New York-style luxury apartment living to Melbourne,” Larry says. It’s something, he says, Melburnians in particular are looking for. “We have buyers from mainland China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Dubai, Malaysia and Indonesia but the majority of purchasers are Melburnians,” Larry says. While they are enjoying the New York lifestyle, Melburnians definitely don’t have to pay as much for apartments. Median apartment prices in New York sit at $A1.5 million while Melbourne’s median is about $525,000. At Capitol Grand, buyers can snap up an apartment from about $600,000 giving them access to a luxury lifestyle and a South Yarra location. They’ll have access to five food and beverage outlets in the building’s retail precinct and a 24-hour concierge service. “Like the best Manhattan concierges, they will be there to let residents forget about many of life’s small tasks so they can take full advantage of the amazing lifestyle that is on offer in the immediate surrounds. “Getting the car washed, dry-cleaning done, restaurant reservations made and taxis called – these are just some of the services that will be instantly and constantly available to all residents,” Larry says. ● MELISSA HEAGNEY melissa.heagney@theweeklyreview.com.au

FAULTLESSLY FINISHED 18 UNION STREET, TEMPLESTOWE LOWER, 3107

ith only the green space of Finns Reserve across the road, this house has uninterrupted views of parkland stretching to the banks of the Yarra River. The outlook is best admired from the main bedroom downstairs and from the full-width verandah upstairs. The house is designed to reflect its setting. Gumleaf-green window frames and cultured stone (as seen in the external wall by the porch and the internal wall of the entry) bring touches of the outside into the house. There is much to be admired at this property. All three bedrooms are large and have walk-in wardrobes. The main bedroom has a walk-through wardrobe leading to a marble en suite with fully tiled walls and frameless glass shower. The two bedrooms upstairs share a bathroom with basins, toilet, bath and shower in their own domains – a stylish and convenient arrangement. The two upstairs bedrooms also share a large sitting area that extends to a covered verandah which in one direction overlooks parkland and, in the other direction, has exterior stairs leading down to the back garden. This is a very private backyard, which has a paved, covered patio, a deck with a spa and high fence edged with neat garden beds. As both the outdoor entertaining area and back garden open into the

main living space of the house, it is easy to imagine lots of indoor-outdoor entertaining. The Caesarstone kitchen with 2-pac white cabinetry, a large walk-in pantry and a passageway to the laundry is at the heart of the house. “I like the kitchen to be next to the laundry,” the vendor says. “This is my work station.” It is an all-white work station that shares space with the family lounge and dining area with tinted, double-glazed, floor-to-ceiling glass doors and panels looking out to the organised, if not totally organic, backyard. High, raked ceilings, a gas open fireplace and built-in display alcove are stylistic touches in this great-looking family zone. There is a lot of storage built in, too. Even the hallway leading from the main door to the living area has display shelves and floor-to-ceiling cupboards on one side. On the other side is a sleek white wall segmented by the stairwell. This is a house built with state-of-the-art finishes. It meets the requirements of a couple with two millennials (who have since moved out). It is a good-looking, well-thought-out place that is hard to fault. ● SIEW-CHING GOH property@theweeklyreview.com

Auction \ July 16 at 12.30pm

This new, two-storey townhouse is 50 metres from Park and Ride and the 15-minute city express bus, and is within walking distance of Westfield. Three living areas, two main bedrooms and a lustrous marble kitchen with Bosch appliances and a walk-in pantry give it immediate appeal to families who need a good indoor sprawl and also to those with a lot of stuff: the storage is sensational. The interior is beautifully finished, with American oak floorboards, a glass-balustrade staircase and Carrara marble bathrooms. There’s a lounge and, at the rear, the large meals and family area opens to the covered terrace. The north-east-facing garden is minimal and the steep drop from the elevated lawn to the path is a possible hazard. Both main bedrooms have walk-in wardrobes and en suites and the first-floor suite has a glass balcony. Two further first-floor bedrooms share a bathroom and a retreat. Ducted heating, refrigerated cooling and security complete the immaculate package. The double garage has internal access. ● ALISON BARCLAY

THE PROPERTY MARKET REPORT WITH LEE SALCE Director | 04 00 77 00 99 hockingstuart Doncaster

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO SELL?

WHEN SHOULD I SELL MY INVESTMENT PROPERTY?

For a start, let’s just assume you’re in a secure job and you can meet your mortgage repayments otherwise the best time to sell is probably right now, if that will help reduce your expenses. Ultimately, the ideal time to sell your property will depend on your reasons for selling, the style of property and its location.

If you want to sell and not purchase property - that is, your prime motivation is to make a profit a few factors might influence your decision. Spring has long been considered the best time to sell. Buyer activity is at its peak as new properties flood the market. Family homes tend to perform well in spring, however good properties in prime positions will do well regardless of the season. Conversely, less impressive properties might actually be disadvantaged by a spring sale, as buyers have greater choice and may look elsewhere.

WHEN SHOULD I MOVE HOUSE?

CAN I SELL IN A FLAT MARKET?

CAN I SELL RIGHT NOW?

If you are planning to buy as well as sell property, the same market conditions will apply to both transactions. So relatively speaking, it shouldn’t matter when you sell: winter or spring, rising or falling market, the advantages or disadvantages you encounter with your sale will also apply to your purchase. The perfect time to sell is when you’ve found somewhere to buy. 38 THE WEEKLY REVIEW \ JULY 13, 2016

Obviously a flat market is less likely to deliver the results you might achieve in a rising market. But even in flat periods, quality properties generally perform well. Apartments close to the CBD and houses in well- established inner-city suburbs will always be in demand, while high-end, multi-million dollar homes may lose value and properties on the outer fringes of the city may struggle to sell.

Cheap finance has powered the booming property market over the past 3 years. That’s ‘cheap and readily available’ finance. Expect finance to remain cheap throughout 2016; just don’t expect it to be as easily and readily available. Cashed- up, ready to buy buyers have been in abundance to the point that vendors did not even need to entertain conditional offers. As the banks clamped down, firstly on investors and then on home buyers in late 2015, the abundance of cashedup buyers began to tighten. The banks have become slow and cautious. No amount of harassment from the mortgage broker is going to see the banks by-pass proper due diligence. Sellers need to be aware of non-binding/ subject to finance offers. A subject to finance offer is not an offer. It’s an aspiration from the buyer. If you receive an appealing – ‘offer, subject to finance’, keep the bubbly on ice. There is still a long way to go. The end of the boom does not mean that a market crash has begun. However it does mean that the time where dozens of “cashedup ready to sign a contract) buyers fighting

The banks have become slow and cautious. No amount of harassment from the mortgage broker is going to see the banks by-pass proper due diligence. to buy real estate” is probably over. And that’s a good thing. The single consistent factor in global property markets that crashed has been easy/excess credit sold to buyers by banks. Sydney and Melbourne were both recently named in the Demographia International Housing Affordability Survey for the top 5 most unaffordable global property markets. The fact that our banks are being forced into prudent lending is a positive, albeit with some short term jolts. Before asking the buyer what will you pay, its best to ask, how will you pay?

Bulleen 3/10 Ronald avenue Securely positioned at the rear of a trendy residential block, the professional couple, empty nester or seasoned investor could be forgiven for thinking this brand new singlelevel residence is cut from the same cloth as other modern units. But apart from sporting a contemporary façade on a smartly landscaped block, that’s where the similarities end, for inside this ultra-modern show-stopper stands an interior that’s at the height of modern luxury and cutting-edge design within walking distance of Bulleen Plaza, bus services and parks.

BlackBurn 24A FuchsiA street Dare to dream of the convenience-laden lifestyle that’s on offer with this charm-filled twostorey residence, located within a short stroll of the attractive Laburnum Village shopping centre, Blackburn station Village and both Laburnum and Blackburn train stations yet just far away enough to enjoy the peaceful ambience its leafy environment provides. Fully landscaped grounds are park-like in presentation and complement the home’s elegant period character. Venture inside and be prepared to have your breath taken away by a warm and inviting floorplan that’s a celebration of classic Blackburn living with a contemporary twist.
