ne of the best things about working at O The Weekly Review is the opportunity to glimpse behind the public personae of our
favourite celebrities to see what really makes them tick. I’ve learned, for example, that Rebecca Judd unwinds by baking cakes and that George Calombaris catches up with old chums to play soccer on Saturday afternoons. Often the true passions of our most public personalities are at odds with the face they show the world. Watching the steely determination of Australian soccer superstar Tim Cahill on the pitch, you’d never guess that at home he’s a bit of a clown who loves karaoke and phones his mum before games. You can learn more about the private side of one of our most high-profile sports stars in Sarah Marinos’ fascinating interview inside. Also this week, Myke Bartlett catches up with one of the stars of the Melbourne Jazz Festival, while Alice in Frames follows a reader’s tip and discovers a little piece of Italy in South Melbourne. Enjoy! ●

VOTING RULES HAVE CHANGED?
Make your vote count this federal election Saturday 2 July At this year’s federal election, the way you vote for the Senate has changed and it’s important that you understand how to vote correctly.

Put the number ‘1’ in the box for the party or group that is your first choice, a ‘2’ for your second choice and so on until you’ve numbered at least 6 boxes.
If you choose to vote below the line, you need to number at least 12 boxes, from 1 to 12, for individual candidates in the order of your choice. Voting for the House of Representatives has not changed. On the green ballot paper, you need to number every box, starting with the number ‘1’ for your first choice, ‘2’ for your second choice and so on until you have numbered every box. ‘How to vote’ instructions will be clearly displayed on your ballot paper.

ut this modest and down-to-earth man is unaffected by his global achievements and wealth, putting his success down to simple hard work and passion. “I’ve always asked myself, ‘What do you want from your life – do you want to go through life just being a passenger or do you want to maximise the game and every training session?’” he says. “I am driven and can never do anything half-heartedly. It upsets me when I see someone do something just for the sake of doing it; you might as well not bother at all. “Training and playing, that’s my life. People like football – I love football – and I maximise my potential as a footballer and as a human being. I soak up everything to be the best I can be. I don’t need the limelight; I just want to play and when you play consistently and when you constantly strive to do better, then you are always going to be relevant.” Tim says he’s always had a long-term vision about his career. “I’ve made decisions and sometimes people have said, ‘Why didn’t you go to that bigger club?’ or ‘Why didn’t you sign that new commercial deal or contract?’. I don’t look short-term and I don’t take the money and run. It’s not my style, it’s not the way this machine works …” The Tim Cahill machine also works best when his family and a handful of close friends from way back are close by. Key moments in his career have been shared with the people who mean most to him – his high-school sweetheart and now wife, Rebekah, their four children and Tim’s parents, siblings and cousins. “Every tournament I’ve played in I’ve always taken a minimum of 15 to 30 people with me. They’ve been to all three World Cups and Asian Cups and to my FA Cup games, regardless of how much it costs,” Tim says.
8 THE WEEKLY REVIEW \ JUNE 1, 2016
WORLD CUP \ 2014
“If my family aren’t there to share it then it doesn’t feel the same. Before a big game I have to speak to my mum or someone from my family in Australia and definitely my kids and my missus. It’s hard for me to play without blessings from my family,” he adds. “The togetherness with my brothers and sister especially is important – we are constantly in each other’s pocket and it’s always been that way. They are my best mates. When I’m in Australia I’m pretty much at my brothers’ homes and mum’s house – they back on to each other in Sydney. “I don’t have a massive group of friends – only three or four close friends – and when I am not there they go round and have coffee with my parents and take them out to dinner. I grew up with them, played football with them or they were neighbours. It’s stayed that way my whole life.” Tim was born in Sydney to a Samoan mother and British father. His parents were hard workers who scrimped to provide for Tim, his two brothers and sister. There wasn’t a lot of money but there was always plenty of love and happy memories – and football. He recalls his football-mad father watching Premier League matches live from the UK in the early hours of the morning. Tim would sneak out of bed to watch the games, and the next day he’d practise the skills he’d seen on TV in the backyard and at the local park. He remembers his older brother, Sean, tackling and taking him on, and urging him to not let fear hold him back. “Even today, no matter where I’m playing – in England or New York or Shanghai – I’ll get a text from Sean before a game with those same words – ‘Don’t let fear hold you back, bro’,” says Tim. Despite his smaller stature, Tim impressed local coaches with his technique, passion and fearlessness. An early milestone was playing for Sydney’s Metropolitan East and then for the NSW state team. His fortunes changed once and for all midway through year 11 when his father suggested he go to England to try to secure a spot with a major English team. He was 16 when he moved to London to stay with relatives. “My parents made a huge sacrifice to get a loan to send me there

im Cahill’s home is his castle and his very private playground. Whether he is in Shanghai or at one of his luxury houses in New York or Sydney, home is where the real Tim Cahill emerges. “At home I am a whole different person,” says the softly spoken striker who is arguably Australia’s greatest soccer player. “I think people see me as someone who is quiet and not always out-and-about – a bit of a monk,” he says. “Well, at home I reckon I’m funny, a bit of a comedian. I’ll be up to no good and playing tricks. If there is a karaoke machine I’ll be holding the mic and my kids will be fighting with me to get it back. “We’ve got an indoor soccer court at our home in America and my family, my closest friends and I play a mini World Cup there. I’m just a big kid at heart who’s enjoying life.” The Cahill family’s karaoke machine is currently set up in China, where Tim is relishing the latest stage of his career. In February, he signed with Chinese Super League side Hangzhou Greentown after being dropped by Shanghai Shenhua FC. He joined the Chinese league in 2015 after two years at New York Red Bulls and a decade playing in the UK’s prestigious Premier League with Everton FC before that. He joined Everton in 2004, the same year he donned the green and gold to become a stalwart of Australia’s international team. Since then he has represented Australia in the 2004 Olympic Games, three FIFA World Cups and three AFC Asian Cups. He was part of the team that won the Asian Cup in 2015. Last year Business Review Weekly reported that he earned $5.5 million a year and had amassed a $28 million fortune.
and so did my brothers and sister,” says Tim. Sean left school to work as a mechanic to help cover the cost of the move. “So I said I’d go and try and, if I didn’t make it, I could at least come back knowing I’d tried. But I had such a strong drive that I knew, given half a chance, I’d be successful,” he says. He ended up signing with tough working-class club Millwall and says his “Samoan warrior” spirit got him through. That spirit has continued to sustain him through the tough times and the injuries that are part of the professional footballer’s life. “The Samoan warrior is a mentality and it means I can play through injuries and pain. I’ve played three games a week for my whole career and I can train and be tired but switch off mentally. It gives me drive,” he says. “I’ve seen the way they live in Samoa and how hard they work. I saw mum go to work and do two jobs from 6am to 6pm to pay the rent each month. I call those memories a beautiful scar because they’re a great reminder as to why I get up in the morning. “I’m never nervous at the thought of playing a team like Brazil, for example. I’ve always been that type of person who rises to the occasion and thinks, ‘Imagine if I can get a moment in the game and help Australia win against a top team’ or ‘Imagine if I can pick a

moment and score a top goal’. And then my brother will say, ‘Why not? You’re Samoan. Nothing can hurt you – just go and do it’.” During his time at Millwall, from 1997 to 2004, the team was promoted to the first division and Tim scored more than 50 goals. He scored 68 goals at Everton, played in the FA Cup final in 2009 and was shorlisted for the FIFA Ballon d’Or in 2006. He became one of UK’s top players – his Everton contract netted him close to $5.5 million a year. To try something new, he headed to New York where he scored the fastest goal in Major League Soccer history – in less than seven seconds. Then last year he made perhaps one of his most adventurous decisions, joining Shanghai Shenhua FC and signing a $10 million deal. The contract was suddenly severed in February but within a week he was snapped up by rival Hangzhou Greentown. “Why did I go to China? It’s simple – I’m different.” He shrugs. “I knew how big things were there and, at the end of the day, I do things because I want to do them. I’m in a market of 23 million people in China … I can see a long future in China.” He says his kids – Kyah, 13, Shae, 11, Sienna 9, and Cruz, three – have embraced living in Asia. “Moving to New York and now China – they’ve had an amazing upbringing. They are heavily involved in football and they are my biggest critics. If I don’t score – they want to know why!”

im is 36 and is looking ahead to when his playing days are over. Thanks to that Samoan work ethic, he’s taking nothing for granted. “I’ve always realised the value of money, what things cost and how important it is to not waste stuff. When things are hard to come by growing up in a big family, you appreciate things. That will never change for me. My family know I am quite anal when it comes to things like taking care of stuff. I don’t waste things,” he says. Tim has also created a business empire that includes a men’s grooming range, Vitaman, and a clothing line, Cahill+. He recently penned his memoir, Legacy, and has also written a children’s book. “There will always be a link to football. Maybe managing – who knows?” he says. “I have a few years of playing left and opportunities come up every year. I definitely plan to return to Australia but only when the time and conditions are right. I can see myself owning an A-League club in the future. I’ll be working for the rest of my life – not because I need to work but because I want to. My strongest memory as a kid was of getting up in the morning and not seeing my mum because she’d already left for work; then coming home from school and going to training and not seeing mum because she was off at her second job. “The very fact that I’m still thinking about it – still writing about it today – means that her sacrifices made a deep imprint on me for life. But they also made me who I am.” ● smarinos@theweeklyreview.com.au

Ask the wine guy wine goes best with Q What wagyu beef? This question came from my butcher, A Harry of Sardes Quality Meats at the Queen Vic market, as I ordered some
wagyu hanger steak. I drank pinot noir with that particular steak and find the vibrant acid in pinot and cool-climate shiraz works well with the extra fat found in wagyu that’s been cooked until pink in the middle. For secondary cuts, which seem to take on an extra richness when slow-cooked, I tend to pour cabernet sauvignon. ● GOT A QUESTION? EMAIL \

Heathcote Estate Single Vineyard Shiraz 2014 (Heathcote) $45; 13.5% Ooh this smells nice. With blackberry, fennel seed and dark cherry and dried herb aromas there’s a lot going on. Bright and fresh, there’s concentration and lovely flavour. This will be better in a few years, but in the meantime its tannins offer grip and structure, while the fruit and acid are in harmony. It’s classy and effortless. ● Enjoy with \ Steak tartare
Zonzo Estate Shiraz 2015 (Yarra Valley) $75; 14.5%
St Hugo Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 (Coonawarra) $55; 14.3%
Be still, my beating heart. Cool-climate shiraz gets me every time. Dark fruits – think blackberry, blueberry, black cherry – perfume and spice aromas that carry through to the finish. There’s an elegance and brightness you just don’t find in shiraz from warmer regions. There’s persistence without being overwhelming. ●
St Hugo’s is one of the most-collected red wines in Australia and it’s always nice to be able to say the new release is a good one. Now down to business – this smells of bramble, blackcurrant, cedar, mint and chocolate. It tastes the same, with a mesh of fine, grippy tannins driving the length and setting it up for years in the cellar. ●

BARGAIN BUY Williams Crossing by Curly Flat Pinot Noir 2014 (Macedon Ranges) $27; 13.4% This is quite a steal – a high-end pinot noir from one of our best producers. Layered, complex flavours of raspberry, cherry, earth and spice are smooth, energetic and lightly tannic in the mouth. This is a delightfully fruit-forward pinot noir. It’s a good option for the cellar, too. ● Enjoy with \ Grilled rib-eye

othing brings me more joy than the conversations I get to have with readers who’ve tried my recommendations, or offer suggestions of their own. Especially when such correspondence leads me to discover gems such as Gioia Mia (“my joy”), courtesy of Dr Jenny from South Melbourne. I’d visited this former schoolhouse in its previous incarnations as hipster cafes; yet in its current white-washed form, sunlight illuminating piles of persimmons on the window sills and bouncing off the copper bench, it feels like it’s been here for years, just so. Chef Andrea Mantese (via Caffe e Cucina and Sydney’s Fratelli Paradiso) keeps it simple, with a concise seasonal menu on the chalkboard that gives you no choice but to order at the counter in your best (attempts at) Italiano. And the food itself? I’ll let Jenny take it from here: “As I sat in their sun-drenched courtyard nibbling bruschetta, delectable salads, morsels of Calamari Sant’Andrea and pumpkin tortellini, I found myself thinking that more of our local citizens should be made aware of this very special oasis.” I agree. Add some baked, home-made ricotta with rhubarb compote, go heavy on the house-baked ciabatta and cap off with a glass of nebiollo. ● aliceinframes@theweeklyreview.com.au ● 217-239 Montague Street, South Melbourne ● 9696 5863 ● facebook.com/Gioia-Mia-South-Melbourne

BRUNCH \ WESTLAKE for yum cha. I don’t drink coffee, so I don’t find the need to queue up at the cool cafes for weekend brunch. I do, however, love dumplings and have been going to Westlake since before the turn of the century! My favourite are the ham soi gok and steamed dumplings. In my humble opinion, they have the best chilli oil in Chinatown.
WE LOVE …
COOKING \ Chips and mash! It’s potato season, which means they’re frying and mashing up a treat! Grab some King Edward potatoes or Dutch Creams from your favourite potato purveyor, such as M J Mow @ Prahran, Georgie’s Harvest @ South Melbourne or Jones’ Potatoes @ the farmers’ markets around town. ● WATCHING \ My mate Poh Ling Yeow is back on screen for another season of Poh & Co (8.30pm, Thursdays, SBS). We got to visit her Jamface cafe while in Radelaide last month and now we get to watch it take shape week by week! ● LISTENING TO \ Food52’s Burnt Toast podcast is SO great for bluetoothing on trips between eats. I especially enjoyed the episodes with food critic Jonathan Gold and Nigella Lawson. ● READING \ The first thing that strikes you about Incredible Bakes (Caroline Griffiths, 2016) is the croquembouche on the cover, followed by the fact that the toffee and all of the recipes inside “happen to be refined-sugar free”. ●

FOR A DATE \ EMBLA in the city is a great place for a date. It’s informal enough and has a timeless charm despite being open just six months. The food from the wood-fired oven (especially the bread!) is amazing.
BIG GROUP \ For an informal big group catch up, I like to go to the rooftop at BOMBA. With great views of the city and an excellent menu of Spanish bites, it’s a really “Melbourne” was to spend an afternoon. ●
(CHRIS MIDDLETON)
TO SEE & BEE SEEN \ I love people-watching, so sitting on the footpath outside OMBRA is a good way to spend an evening. The food is simple, yet tasty. It’s so easy to get swept up in the Italian charm.

GIG THE BADLOVES As Andrew Masterson wrote on the back of The Badloves’ debut single, Lost: “Knob-twiddling wizardry has its place in music, but its influence will never be as strong, or as enduring, as the sounds produced by the classic combination of two guitars, bass, drums and a mega-whomping Hammond organ.” Come check it out. ■ Friday, June 3, 8.40pm.

he Melbourne Jazz Festival gets into full swing this week, with a visit from Lady Day herself – sort of. Acclaimed American vocalist Jose James will be filling Billie Holiday’s shoes, performing her greatest hits, as covered on his album Yesterday I Had The Blues. Given Billie’s legendary status, you’d imagine he might have felt daunted reworking her standards. Not Jose. “I think she left some pretty strong guideposts,” Jose says. “She said she had to believe in the song, to feel it, otherwise she couldn’t make the audience feel anything. Obviously, I’ve had a different life, I’m a different person, but I can find my way into her catalogue emotionally.” He says he resisted the pressure to update the songs, instead recording them live in the studio

with his favourite jazz trio. “We had no rehearsals. I set it up so it would be pure jazz, like the way Billie would have done it. It was five guys in a room and the whole album was done in four hours. Everything was a first take. It’s very rare for things to happen like that; it was pure magic.” The only additional session was for Billie’s most startling number, Strange Fruit. Jose opted for a minimalist take, performing a cappella over a live loop of his own vocals. It’s a breathtaking, intimate version of a song easily robbed of its power by a careless performer. “I want to be punched in the stomach when I hear that song. For me, that’s the benchmark. If it’s working, you’re crying.” Jose has always been up-front about Billie’s influence on his work, but says she remains unappreciated in the jazz world. “It’s hard to imagine now, but she was the highest-paid, most popular black entertainer in the world. The equivalent today would be Beyonce.” ● mbartlett@theweeklyreview.com.au

LOUISE NELSON \ 40
(SCOTT McNAUGHTON)
I love Caulfield
Originally from the UK, Louise Nelson is the president of Caulfield Bears Junior Football Club – the first woman in the role since the club was founded in 1961. “Having two boys and a husband, I thought if I don’t become involved as well, I’m just not going to have anything to do with them,” she says. “It’s really exciting and obviously a great privilege to be the first female president. I also think it’s a really good example to show other girls and women that you can get into an industry that’s perceived as predominantly male …this should be normal.” Louise lives with her husband, Adrian, and sons, Harry and Charles, in Caulfield South. Where do you go for a great cup of coffee? Glovers Station. It’s close to the children’s school. The building itself is fabulous! For dinner with the family? Donovans in St Kilda. There’s great views and the food is pretty amazing.
For a sneaky takeaway? Bombay by Night on North Road. It’s close and really yummy. We are so unoriginal with our order, though. We get the banquet dinner for two because you don’t have to think. If we’re going out as a family, we go to A Mano Pizzeria in Brighton. For some good wine? T’Gallant Winemakers on the Mornington Peninsula. My husband’s family have a place down there so we go fairly regularly on the weekends. I love a good pinot grigio. For a spot of shopping? I love shopping! I would go to Chadstone Shopping Centre without a doubt. To buy a book? The Avenue Bookstore on Glen Huntly Road, Elsternwick; they are so helpful and friendly. I always get kids’ books when I’m there. ● ALEAH ESPANTA » caulfieldbears.com.au/juniorteam/

The reality We get a group together from The Weekly Review and head to one of our conference rooms. Wallis has set up the room with yoga mats and other equipment, but the transformation into a relaxing studio doesn’t stop there. Candles, essential oils and ambient music all play their part in setting the scene and taking our minds away from work – if only for an hour. Wallis says yin yoga is a slower form of the practice that focuses on holding positions for longer, giving the body time to stretch into each pose. Wallis guides us into poses, some of which involve straps to hold our stretches and foam blocks for our heads.
The pain factor My legs are feeling it a little bit the next day – but that just means I gained a bit more flexibility.

ontemporary living literally reaches heady heights in this striking house. Resplendent with superb detailing and big on indoor/outdoor connection, it’s the new kid on the block – and likely to incite envy in any neighbours bogged down by period residences requiring life-disrupting renovations. The property is as distinguishable by night as it is by day, with its address emblazoned in LED lighting on the gate post, and a purple glow emanating from the post-modernist porch. The two-storey ceiling over the foyer rises to a big skylight in the roof, creating a floor-to-infinity welcome. With a low marble ledge, American oak floors, and a feature wall of burnished bluestone, the foyer presents a full-height door that slides into a cavity to reveal a garden-view study. Next up, a fully kitted theatre room adjoins the internal courtyard through glass sliders. Also accessible from the hall and the living area, this granite-paved, mood-lit courtyard looks the spot for sunbathing or star-gazing i stylish seclusion. Open-plan kitchen, meals and living areas spread wide at the rear of ground level. The magnificentlyequipped, Calcutta marble kitchen adjoins a butler’s

pantry, and in the living area is a fireplace bracketed by marble-topped joinery. In between, glass doors open wide to link the interior to the outdoors. Out here, the timber canopy over the barbecue kitchen evokes Frank Lloyd Wright styling; wide stone terracing accommodates an outdoor setting; and a patch of lawn provides green relief. Bring on intimate gatherings, sociable soirees and easily observed play. The main bedroom at the rear of the second storey has a walk-through wardrobe leading to a decadent en suite, where two can share the shower under rainwater heads or bathe in the designer bath. There’s storage space in the double garage, and inclusions to the six-star energy-rated house read like the ultimate checklist. Double-glazing, ducted heating, refrigerated air-conditioning, ducted vacuum, video security, woollen carpets and Rogerseller bathroom fittings figure in their number. As for location, you’ll find Caulfield station and racecourse, Glen Huntly Park, a Monash University campus and public and private schools within walking reach. ● KAY KEIGHERY property@theweeklyreview.com.au

Built for the vendors in 1975, this modernist house has a huge winged timber roof that extends out, creating a carport and garden pergola. The house faces north on a 634-square-metre block, with timber-clad and Daniel Robertson clay-brick internal walls. The beams of the vaulted ceiling are key features. Specially commissioned pottery lamps hang in the expansive formal lounge, which also has large corner windows looking to the garden and kidney-shaped pool. There are hardwood floors under new cream-coloured carpets. The builder of the grand brick fireplace in the tessellated-tile family room went on to become a heating expert for the CSIRO. The kitchen is tiled in midnight blue and has a pressed copper rangehood, stainless-steel appliances and timber cabinetry. The main bedroom has a beautifully detailed, mosaic-tiled en suite and a walk-in wardrobe. Two more bedrooms at the end of the house share a skylit bathroom. A study or fourth bedroom has wall-mounted bookshelves. Glen Eira Sports and Aquatic Centre, parks and schools are all close by. ● STEPHEN A. RUSSELL
