FIRST PERSON

I am Emma Lynch … and I work high above the ground I was in marketing before becoming a ropeaccess technician. I’ve always been an active person, but I just needed a change in scenery. At this company (Vert Industries), we do lots of different things, not just window cleaning. Painting and just general building maintenance, so a lot of leak detection issues and pretty much anything people can’t reach from the ground. We’re on ropes; we rarely work off platforms. We wear a full body harness and two ropes, so you’ve got a main working line and a back-up safety line. It’s almost like an apprenticeship. You start at level one, that’s a week’s course – and then you need 1000 hours and a minimum of 12 months’ experience to progress to level two. And then there’s level three, which is the most advanced riggers. It’s pretty safe. We don’t really get “danger money”. I wish, is the short answer. Everyone would be doing it otherwise, I think. The tallest building I’ve done was 70 storeys, or about 230 metres. When you’re there up that high it’s peaceful and quiet. You get beautiful views of the bay. The toughest bit is the physicality of some jobs. Each building’s different with the way you have to approach things, in terms of reaching. Reach is probably the most physical part of what we have to do. You’ll set up for a drop but you have to try and reach as wide as you can – obviously to reduce the amount of drops you do on a building. We start at the top and abseil down. How do we get back up? People presume we would climb back up, but we don’t. We use lifts or we use gravity. You’re generally two to three hours on a drop. It gets quite uncomfortable in the chair, and physically demanding on your back and hips if you’re there for say more than three hours. Once I had this guy sprint towards the window. I was bracing myself, as I didn’t know what he wanted to do. But he was just eager to say hello. This job tends to attract people who are adventurous and easy-going. It can be mentally stressful, some parts of the job, and figuring your way around a building, so you have to be a little more laid-back. Some people look at us and think we’re crazy and they’d never do it in a million years. But we do feel lucky; it’s a pretty cool job. ●

TIRED OF THE BONE-CRUNCHING CHILL OF BITTER WINTER? TIME TO ESCAPE. PETER WILMOTH SHARES THE MOST REJUVENATING HOT SPOTS.

Spice Islands

FEEL the HEAT

Yes, they are as exotic and magical as they sound. Janet DeNeefe, the queen of Ubud who moved from Melbourne to Bali more than 30 years ago, has taken her famous hospitality skills to sea. I was lucky enough to join Janet as she hosted an extraordinary boat trip to the fabled Spice Islands, the scenes of bloody battles three centuries ago between the English and the Dutch over control of the highly lucrative market for nutmeg and other spices. If you love history and food – and you’re keen for an adventure on the open ocean – you will relish this trip. With a small group, it will take you to still extremely remote places with the knowledge of history and, of course spices, shared daily by the redoubtable DeNeefe. The area today seems as remote as it was when in 1667 the Dutch swapped the tiny nutmeg-rich Run Island for Manhattan, which the English happily accepted. The visit to Run Island – about three kilometres long and one kilometre wide – is poignant in witnessing the simple life its residents enjoy, and its fascinating place in history. The trip is immersed in history. The boat sails through the Banda Archipelago, a network of small islands once the world’s only source of nutmeg and mace. But there are also wonderful meals shared on the boat, and some in hand-picked restaurants on the islands. There is also some superb snorkeling. A truly once-in-a-lifetime experience, and a chance to visit a part of east Indonesia you otherwise may never get to see. ● Spice Islands Tour from Ambon to Banda Neira, Indonesia, with Janet DeNeefe, from November 10-18.

Nihi Sumba Island This extraordinary experience is on the list of every surfer with the dream of escaping the crowds in the water (the excellent surf break is reserved for guests). On the remote Nihi Sumba Island in south-eastern Indonesia – a 50-minute flight from Bali – the various styles of villas are set right on the famous left-hand wave, known locally as “Occy’s left” after the Australian former world champion Mark Occhilupo. It’s a piece of coast with a reputation as one of the best left-hand breaks in the world. But the wave has been described as “double overhead on an average day”, so it’s not for beginners,

Bali To the more than one million Australians who visit Bali each year, there’s some news – there’s a new kid in town. It’s Malaysian full-service carrier Malindo Air, and I experienced the first flight on the new MelbourneDenpasar route on June 8. Malindo Air has taken up the route vacated last year by Tigerair, and will offer strong competition to Jetstar. We landed happily in Denpasar to access a list of hot Bali entertainment options; some new

although a surfer friend has told me “regular” surfers can usually find a wave that’s not too challenging. Nihi Sumba is more than a luxury resort, it’s a “culturally immersive enclave” encompassing active adventure, “barefoot luxury”, superb food from their own gardens and a beach club. Activities include fishing, horse riding, yoga and wellness, a spa and kids’ activities. Some villas are close enough to the beach that you can check the surf break from your bed. The “Kasambi” villa is the one you might consider – it overlooks the wave and is regarded as the surfer’s “villa dream”. ● Nihi Sumba ● nihi.com

and some older favourites. Try Bikini restaurant, the next venture of Melbourne-born restaurateur Adam McAsey, who opened the everreliable Sisterfields cafe (next door) in 2014. The two share a courtyard dining space. Another ex-Melburnian Maurice Terzini has Da Maria (pictured), a fun and funky modern Italian, part-osteria, part-pizzeria, part-bar, that features a DJ each night after 10.30. Da Maria is a collaboration with Sydneysider Adrian Reed, who has the party-time diner Motel Mexicola.

Finally, I get to fill an embarrassing gap in my visits to the world’s great cities – by experiencing Hong Kong. All those endless images of stunning cityscapes towering over Victoria Harbour have to be seen for yourself. The new Murray Hotel in Central is the perfect Hong Kong kick-off spot. With its deluxe rooms and ideal location (between Garden Road and Cotton Tree Drive), the Murray has been transformed from an office building into a luxury destination. We move at a fair clip through the best of Hong Kong. Lunch at Mott 32, a contemporary Chinese restaurant in Central, is in that category, as is Ho Lee Fook, a more casual funky Chinese kitchen. Access the views of Hong Kong through rooftop bar Sevva (10 Chater Road). Take a trip on one of the last remaining traditional Chinese junks and watch A Symphony of Lights, the multimedia show that dazzles the harbour every night. We are taken on a tour of Sham Shui Po on the Kowloon side, one of the earliest developed areas in Hong Kong and now an emerging neighbourhood where modern cafes sit alongside traditional eateries and

Bali in the ’80s was a party island but has evolved into serious culinary destination, and Terzini’s new place has developed a strong following. Still abuzz is Saigon Street (in Petitenget) serving delicious casual Vietnamese and a visit to Mama San in nearby Kerobokan is imperative. ●

Dream believer T

racy Grimshaw will never forget the day in 1981 she walked into the Channel 9 newsroom in Bendigo Street, Richmond, surrounded by people such as Brian Naylor, who she had always looked up to. She grew up watching “the box in corner”, and she was starting a dream job as a television reporter, in what was a male-dominated world. The name Grimshaw was on the staff roster, and many of the other journalists at the time just presumed it was a man. But there was one man who welcomed her with open arms, and she will always be grateful for it. “I knew nothing,” Grimshaw says. “I had done a fast-track cadetship in a suburban newspaper in two years, and I was ill equipped to start in the top-rating news station in the city. But Peter Hitchener walked up to me, and said ‘hello, you must be new here’, and I said ‘Yes, my name is

Tracy’ and he introduced himself and said welcome. “He had no idea who I was. He made my life, let alone my day, that day. He is as warm now as he was to me that day, that’s just who he is,” Grimshaw says. Fast forward almost 40 years and both Grimshaw and Hitchener are a force for Channel 9 Melbourne in that all-important 6-7.30pm primetime slot. Grimshaw’s A Current Affair is an underrated ratings juggernaut, rarely out of the top-10 nationally rated television shows since she started as host in 2006. She has had a long, successful career, starting as news reporter, later newsreader, to hosting Today for 10 years until 2006, first with Steve Liebmann and Karl Stefanovic for one year, and now ACA. There is one blip – in 1995 she hosted Midday with David Reyne, with no TV band and a reduced budget, after the heady days before her when Ray Martin was host. The job lasted nine months. “That wasn’t a stellar moment in my career, but it taught me to work with a live audience,” she says. Now, Grimshaw has her first, and well-overdue, TV Week gold Logie nomination. She will be up against Love Child and The Wrong Girl actress Jessica Marais, host of the now-axed Family Feud Grant Denyer, Andrew Winter of Selling Houses Australia, Amanda Keller of The Living Room and Rodger Corser of Doctor Doctor Doctor. The Logies ceremony will be held at the Gold Coast on July 1. Channel 9 campaigned hard for

her to be nominated. “I was absolutely gobsmacked,” she says. “I didn’t know the network was going to do that campaign for me. I have been with the one network for 37 years, and I am not exaggerating when I say it has a family feel to it. I have been offered jobs at other networks ... but Nine make it easy to stay.” A Current Affair is also up for the most outstanding news coverage or public affairs Logie for her interview with Don Burke, the night that Fairfax Media and ABC broke the story about his bullying and sexualmisconduct allegations. “I am still loving it,” she says.

““A A Current Affair still presents me with a challenge; every new interview is a challenge, and every person and story are different.” Born and bred in Melbourne, Grimshaw now calls Sydney home – where ACA is filmed. Outside work, she treasures her dogs and horses. “The horses and dogs don’t give a rat’s ass what I do all day; the expectations are pretty simple and I do like that simplicity when I come home,” she says. ● TV WEEK LOGIES \ Live voting for gold/most popular categories reopens June 29 and closes at the end of Nine’s red-carpet telecast.

NATH VALVO

Icebreaker? Dealbreaker

ello there. I’m Nath Valvo – I’ve lived in Melbourne since birth and I tell jokes for a living. Saying hello to you – a stranger – isn’t something I do often. I don’t think many of us do. Question: Are Melburnians snobs? Maybe snob is too strong a word, but I can’t help but notice a huge bunch of us would hate nothing more than small talk with another human being, especially our neighbours. Tad depressing, yes? In my early 20s I lived southside. Five years in St Kilda without a word to a neighbour. I didn’t even talk to my housemates (found ’em on the internet). The three of us would communicate in a WhatsApp group –

often, we’d all be in our own bedrooms talking via text. Snobbery was taking place inside our own home, let alone the driveway. Then I moved northside. The hippies, arts students and nonnas are no different, it seems. A few years in an apartment block and nothing but a few classic awkward elevator ice-breakers – “Level three? Thanks” or “It’s really coming down out there” or “Cute dog.” The building was evacuated once. Even at 4am – with hundreds of us scattered across gutters in our pyjamas – not a word was said. My boyfriend Cody (he’s really hot – stop mentioning it) and I have just moved again. Still northside but

a new street and new neighbours. It’s been a month and not a single friendly word from anyone. If this were a movie, we’d have received a welcome basket from a gossipy neighbour. Sadly, we’re still waiting. Someone left a note on my windscreen last week, saying: “You park like a dickhead”. Does this count as a chat? Sitcoms have taught us that next-door neighbours should be hilarious characters – popping their head over the fence with some great zingers. In reality, you’re lucky to get a g’day on bin night. Hearing a knock on my door is so rare these days, my initial instinct would be to hide. “Why is someone knocking on the door?” “Is someone on fire?” “I haven’t ordered Uber Eats. Quick, Cody. Hide!” Maybe I’m completely wrong and your street is full of hilarious chats and cupcakes on doorsteps. But in my street no one is talking to anyone, which is fine with me. OMG, am I a snob? ● Comedian Nath Valvo is touring Australia with his new show, Show Pony Pony, and plays Sydney in August. Nath joins us with his new column every fortnight.

aybe it’s the wall of fine wines, but don’t be surprised if a boozy brekkie is suddenly on the cards at Marion. Mimosas clink festively at one table, bloody marys at another. Me? I order a cheeky sparkling to have with my bagel. “Happy anniversary,” we say, and suddenly brunch is a celebration, the day full of promise. Cutler and Co’s sexy bar-next-door is nearly three years old, and it’s still a firm fave on the morning circuit. It’s posh, but not. Luxe and welcoming, with enough options for all brunch situations: coffee with parents, a first-date hook-up, or a poke around Gertrude Street shops warm-up. Big windows flood the space with morning light, fresh water arrives, topped by waiters who know hospitality is more than a way to get through uni, and the curved copper counter is decked with pastries and native flora. Order a Lune croissant pronto, before it sells out.

HARVARD WANG

Here’s cheers

Tap it gently with your knife and – hear that crack? That’s the sound of Australia’s best croissant (no joke). Pull it apart, and the lustrous, featherlight, buttery curls flake on the plate. There’s rhubarb jam and cultured butter to add if you like, or have it with ham and comte. Fleshy ocean trout, house-cured in a classic Nordic gravlax of sugar, salt and dill, tops a jumbo sesame-crusted bagel. Purists, take note: this one is baked, not boiled. It’s a lighter texture, still with a chewy crust – ask for a steak knife, it’s hard to cut – spread thickly with cream cheese, a pretty layer of cucumber and a zesting of horseradish. If you’re a touch on the shabby side, it’s the Maz muffin you’d be wanting, a drippy, juicy skinless sausage with melty cheese, fried egg and sweet, jammy relish, a morning-after cure created by exhead chef Josh Fry. Thanks, Josh; top work.

Don’t go thinking you’ll try one of these on Wednesday though. Brunch is a strictly weekend affair at Marion, with last orders by 11.30am. Good news is you can book a table, avoiding any bad queue juju. You’ll be well looked after at Marion, making it an easy slide into the day. Cheers to that. ●

FAWKNER HOUSE \ PINNACLE OF LUXURY IN THE DOMAIN

his elite collection of 10 large-scale residences with Fawkner Park views has been designed to raise the bar for luxury living, even in South Yarra’s prestigious Domain Precinct. Internationally acclaimed architect Rob Mills collaborated with landscaper Paul Bangay to create three-storey Fawkner House at 146 Toorak Road West, responding to its landmark location with a strikingly original design. Mills says he was inspired by Michelangelo’s golden ratio and the work of Le Corbusier. Fawkner House also features his signature curved facade. Developer Beulah International bought the site in 2016 for $17.5 million, one of the few remaining for a large development project in the suburb. Levels one and two have eight three-bedroom residences with prices from $4.9 million, and two four-bedroom penthouses crown the development on level three, priced from $9.7 million. Internally the residences range from 242 to 400 square metres. Apartments have three car spaces; penthouses have spaces for four to five cars. ● LIZ MCLACHLAN

FEATURE HOUSE MALVERN \ 124 STANHOPE STREET 4

alvern has a hidden treasure at 124 Stanhope Street, known as “Hye House”. Tucked behind a tall white fence, this Victorian beauty has the kind of charm that you only find in heritage. A single-level house with a stately, rendered facade – complete with latticework – it has three double bedrooms plus a study/ optional fourth bedroom, several living zones, and two gardens. Its layout follows the Victorian formula in 21st-century Melbourne to a tee: a central hallway with bedrooms and formal lounge and dining spaces on either side, before a wide, open plan contemporary extension. Stained glass windows trimmed in bright green frame the front door, and the hall has regulation high and ornate arches. The main bedroom is the first room on the right, and has an open fireplace, wide windows and mint green walls. Two more bedrooms, also with fireplaces, sit across the way. Next door down, the dining area flows to a sitting room. Tall ceilings and cast-iron fireplaces with marble mantles ensure dinner parties hosted here will have an elegant air, and a Bose audio set-up will allow residents to cater a perfect playlist alongside each course. A particularly pleasant touch to the lounge is a set of double glass doors, bordered by windows, that open to a small courtyard and provide a glimpse of the more casual family area. Opposite, even the main bathroom has a romantic touch, thanks to an intricate stained-glass window with a bird and floral motif. Carpets feature through most of the house, but the kitchen-living-meals zone has spotted gum timber flooring. There are also vaulted ceilings and lots of windows, making for a light and airy feel. The granite entertainer kitchen has a walk-in pantry, and behind there’s a laundry and second bathroom. Where the garden out the front is landscaped, the rear garden is more relaxed. There’s a deck for entertaining and a triangular lawn with a border of trees and shrubs. Two garden sheds and a carport provide storage. Just around the corner from High Street and Tooronga Road, Hye House has Malvern’s amenities practically on its doorstep. ● ERIN MUNRO property@domain.com.au

SOUTH YARRA \ 5/59 DARLING STREET 2

Once the preserve of European aristocrats, the wintergarden has found a glossy new Australian style on the Yarra. This apartment looks over Darling Gardens to the city from a glass-enclosed terrace; give it some lovely leafery and it could be a greenhouse in the sky. One of seven dwellings in Elan, completed in 2012, this is a showpiece of modern elegance that makes the most of the northerly outlook. Oak floorboards give chocolatey warmth to the living and dining area, which opens to the terrace and shares the view. The grey marble kitchen has Miele appliances and a waterfall island. Behind the kitchen is a study. Bedroom two, with quirky box-bay windows, has a built-in wardrobe and an en suite with a shower. The main bedroom is at the apartment’s rear and has a walk-in wardrobe and a twin en suite with a shower and bath. The hall has a concealed laundry. The building has a lift and a basement garage. ● ALISON BARCLAY AGENT \ Marshall White 9822 9999 PRICE \ $1.4 million – $1.5 million AUCTION \ June 30 at 10.30am

The top-floor living and dining areas open to a glass terrace with a spa, creating an enchanting place for star-gazing or executive entertaining. Chefs will adore the kitchen, which is sleek in white marble with Miele and Liebherr appliances. On the lower ground floor are two bedrooms with en suites, a study, a gym and a retreat with its own entry and kitchen. The ground floor has two further bedrooms, the main bedroom with a magnificent dressing room and a marble en suite with a recessed bath. ● ALISON BARCLAY AGENT \ Kay & Burton 8862 8001 PRICE \ $5.1 million – $5.6 million PRIVATE AUCTION \ June 30

FITZROY NORTH \ 176-178 MCKEAN STREET 4

Old and new blend harmoniously in this red brick Victorian on a 599-square-metre block, just down the street from Edinburgh Gardens. Period touches remain in the original portion’s marble fireplaces, ornate cornices and leadlight windows, while an extensive renovation has added chic contemporary touches, such as streamlined ceilings and walls and sleek joinery. At the rear, the expansive kitchen has exposed brick feature walls, a butler’s pantry and Carrara marble benchtops, plus Miele appliances and an integrated fridge. Flowing on from the kitchen, a relaxed living area has built-in timber cabinetry and sliding doors that open to a covered pergola. A solar-heated pool will be a boon when summer returns. There are three bedrooms at the front of the house, but the main suite upstairs is where parents will want to retreat to. It has a balcony and a limestone-tiled en suite, as well as smartly designed built-in robes. A studio above the garage would make for an ideal home office. Double glazing, ducted heating and evaporative cooling keep the temperature balanced. ● ERIN MUNRO AGENT \ Nelson Alexander 9417 1956 PRICE \ $4.7 million – $5 million AUCTION \ June 30 at 12.30pm

ARMADALE \ 3/60 WATTLETREE ROAD

BALWYN NORTH \ 9 RIVERSIDE AVENUE

As neat as a pin and just as sharply designed, this ground-floor apartment has everything a busy family needs – as long as they can fight off the downsizers who might also take a fancy. Walkable to Glenferrie Road, it offers privacy and security in a lively neighbourhood. The big parquet living and dining area opens to a landscaped courtyard shaded by birches. Granite graces the kitchen, which has gas appliances. Three double bedrooms, in their own wing, include the spacious main with a walk-in wardrobe and en suite. The central bathroom has a bath and shower. Two basement parking spaces include storage. ● ALISON BARCLAY

It might look like an English manor, but this property’s large swimming pool, lush green lawn and covered entertaining deck – complete with wet bar – are designed for Australian summers. The house itself is a two-storey, clinker brick building surrounded by pretty gardens. There are multiple, zoned living areas, including a lounge, family room, and dining area adjoining the Smeg-equipped kitchen. There’s also a formal foyer and a study. Upstairs, two bedrooms share a bathroom while the main has an en suite. Older teenagers will want to claim the granny flat out back for their own. ● ERIN MUNRO
