I’m one of those ageing Millennials who jumped on the vinyl trend about a decade ago, convincing my Boomer parents to hand over all their dustcollecting albums. It was then I discovered Neil Diamond’s Shilo.

Along with the title track (which is my favourite) it’s a compilation of the singer/songwriter’s biggest hits – including Cherry, Cherry and Solitary Man. The latter titles a tribute show by our cover star Hugh Sheridan, who also discovered Diamond via their parents’ record collection. Sheridan spoke to us about the show and about a year of very personal changes. ●

Tatiana Bilbao is using design to highlight the undervalued work done by women.

Lost in the wash A s one of Mexico’s leading female architects, Tatiana Bilbao advocates for social change through her housing design.

Now, as the first recipient of the MECCA x NGV Women in Design Commission, she’s airing the dirty laundry to get people thinking about domesticity and architecture’s response to it in design.

Her work La ropa sucia se lava en casa (Dirty clothes are washed at home) is an installation built on metaphors. The large-scale work features 16 concrete laundry troughs, which explore the notion of the unseen workload in households.

If the popular 1969 feminist phrase “the personal is political”, penned by American Carol Hanisch, holds any weight in modern times, Bilbao is happy to show how the private sphere is also political when it comes to

women’s domesticity and which gender carries the greater load.

“My aim is to really put on the table the importance of domestic labour in order for us to exist as humans,” Bilbao says. “This has mostly been done by women since humanity started, and is much less recognised and, therefore, subject to lots of types of discrimination.

“In my field, to allow spatial recognition of where this domesticity happens will hopefully reopen channels for conversations around recognising it more.”

The commission is the first of its kind in Australia and uses a basinlike structure inspired by the Lavadero of Huichapan – a historical communal laundry located in the central-eastern Mexican town.

The use of the construction – which dates back to the 18th century – is supposed to get you thinking about laundering your clothing in public and the community bonds that come with it.

“Men are going to be mad with this work,” Bilbao says. “I am sure my work changes nothing, but if it provokes uncomfortable conversations that need to happen urgently, then I am all for it.”

The installation also plays on the notion of clothing as armour and looks at the lack of sustainable practice in fast fashion and the exploitation of women, who often are the ones creating it.

“The clothes and our bodies are interconnected,” Bilbao says.

“Clothing is our first layer of

Architect Tatiana Bilbao hopes to provoke tough conversations.

protection – and that layering involves a lot of labour that is not recognised. My work is also saying that architecture is trying to hide those injustices in a big way – concealing the laundry in our homes is the most obvious.”

Bilbao has held collaborative workshops for La ropa sucia se lava en casa in Mexico City, Berlin and Melbourne.

She wanted to start a conversation about what these garments and textiles meant to each individual who helped make them.

The five-year series now showing at the NGV is supported by MECCA through its philanthropic program, M-Power, which champions and elevates women in art and design.

Known for creating low-cost social housing projects in Mexico, Bilbao has also collaborated with architect Jacques Herzog and renowned Chinese artist Ai Weiwei. ● TATIANA BILBAO \ Until January 29,

TELEVISION Rodger Corser hosts a new game of trust and wit.

A

Suspicious minds Wo r d s KI M WI L S O N Ph o t o N I C K WA L K E R

n intriguing and diverse mix of contestants is battling it out in a nail-biting game of betrayal and deception in the new reality series The Traitors, hosted by much-loved actor Rodger Corser.

In the show, a group of 24 players, known as Faithfuls, live together in a grand old manor where they need to have their wits about them as they carry out challenges to win silver bars for a prize pool worth up to $250,000.

Gold Logie-nominated Corser, who has starred in Doctor Doctor and, more recently, Five Bedrooms, says he jumped at the opportunity to host the psychological adventure series.

“They call me Rodger, but it’s Rodger as a character,” he says. “My family doesn’t own a 100-room old manor; I grew up very differently.

“What’s great about it is we get to create a bit of a character with him.

We imply that the grand art deco manor is his family’s and they’re guests of his.

“And we don’t mind taking the mickey out of him as well, so as soon as he starts to look too cool, we make him look silly. We have a lot of fun with it.”

Corser says the series is reminiscent of the dinner-party game How to Host a Murder, which was popular in the 1980s and 1990s, but the stakes are much higher.

The game gets interesting as some of the Faithfuls are actually Traitors, with a mission to eliminate the Faithfuls one by one.

“The Traitors work together, conspiring and scheming behind the Faithfuls’ backs and, each night, they sneak away and choose a Faithful to murder out of the game,” he says.

“The Traitors must remain undetected and pretend to be a Faithful like everyone else.

“Trust becomes a massive part of the game because not everyone is who they say they are.”

The varied mix of contestants, which includes Nigel Brennan, Australia’s longest-held living hostage, and Chloe, a psychic medium, makes for compelling viewing.

“The casting is brilliant,” Corser says. “There’s a really eclectic group of people from around the country; different ages, personality types, backgrounds and incomes.

“There are those who are slightly abrasive, the alpha types, then there are people who you think couldn’t possibly tell me a lie if they tried. Viewers will probably be mistaken for underestimating some of those players.”

Corser says some of the most interesting interactions come from contestants with completely unrelated backgrounds.

“There are generation gaps and cultural differences,” he says. “These people might not ordinarily be in a long conversation with each other.

They wouldn’t necessarily be at the same barbecue or dinner party.

“Having them sit down at the table, we see how people can rub each other up the wrong way. It’s an interesting case study in human behaviour.

“When you’re immersed in our game and you’re living it and there’s money at stake and you start to think, ‘this could change my life in some way’, the stakes become a lot higher and emotions … run a lot higher than a dinner-party game.”

Corser says the month-long shoot, in the NSW Southern Highlands, was gruelling but stimulating.

“The premise is that everyone could be a liar and so people will have their opinions,” he says. “I think the audience will love some contestants and others will rub people up the wrong way.” ● THE TRAITORS \ Network Ten and 10 play.

COVER STORY

A

copy of Neil Diamond’s 1972 double live album Hot August Night lay among other gems of its era and remained on high rotation at Hugh Sheridan’s family home growing up. Now, the LA-based actor and entertainer is bringing Solitary Man to the stage, performing the hits that made the American singersongwriter a global phenomenon.

“I discovered Neil Diamond through my parents’ record collection, like most kids in Australia. One in three Aussies homes owned this album,” says Sheridan, a four-time Logie Award winner for their role in Packed to the Rafters, and one of seven children who grew up in Adelaide.

Hot August Night topped the Australian album charts for 29 weeks during 1973 and 1974, making it one of the biggest-selling albums in our history.

“Dad was a musician, and he loved music, so I knew Neil’s music before I really knew much about him and his legacy,” Sheridan says.

“I simply want to do justice to Neil’s music and make sure it lives on, so people continue to hear it.

I would love a new generation to fall in love with his music as I did,” Sheridan says.

For someone who has been based in LA for 10 years, Sheridan continues to spend a lot of time in Australia, where the work keeps rolling in.

They’re back in Melbourne to start filming a new season of Five Bedrooms, playing Lachlan, and then there’s a role in Brisbane based on the original play by Larry Kramer called The Normal Heart – all in the name of charity and raising awareness about AIDS. “The play is performed in really intimate theatres, and there’s something really beautiful about being so close to the audience in a small space,” says Sheridan.

“This show is all about shining a light on AIDS and why we need to better understand it and still keep talking about it.”

“Dad taught me that, no matter what happens in life, get up and get on with it,” Sheridan says.

“I took the time out I needed, and my family rallied behind me. Having that support base allowed me to get up and go again. That is ultimately what life is about.”

As a child, Sheridan recalls hearing Diamond’s Crunchy Granola Suite and dancing in the lounge room – oblivious it was the American songwriter they were admiring. They still like to play that song and rewind to that magical childhood memory.

“Neil writes real songs that have so much depth and so many ways you can interpret them. Some of my favourites are Love On the Rocks, I Am … I Said, Play Me and Forever In Blue Jeans – they all have special meaning to me. The words are so beautiful, and for me, his music takes me to places in my past,” Sheridan says.

Solitary Man was written by Neil Diamond in 1966 and was covered by many artists – most

Shine bright like a Diamond Actor and entertainer Hugh Sheridan is bringing the songs of Neil Diamond to the stage.

They were asked to take on the mammoth task of bringing Solitary Man to the stage a year ago by the show’s promoters but initially had doubts they wanted to do it.

“I actually said ‘no’ before I said ‘yes’. The promoters came back to me 12 months after initially asking me and had full belief I could give this life,” Sheridan says.

“I really wanted to understand Neil Diamond the man and his music, so to speak. My family also encouraged me to take it on, too,” they say.

From performing the 1969 hit Sweet Caroline at the AFL preliminary final in Sydney a few weeks ago to help promote the show to immersing themself in Neil Diamond’s music by watching endless YouTube video clips and streaming his albums, Sheridan wants everyone to know they’re not imitating the man, simply keeping his songwriting legacy alive in the hope of attracting a younger audience to his back catalogue.

A year ago, Sheridan’s world was slowly falling apart. They appeared on the cover of Good Weekend magazine in November, talking about their declining mental health after being cancelled by transgender activists who lashed out that they were cast to play a gender-queer character in the musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

This coincided with them coming out publicly – as both bisexual and non-binary, getting engaged and separating, followed by the death of their father, Denis, from cancer in May this year.

“I am a world away from where I was back then,” Sheridan says. “It was a hard time for me, apart from the fact that my father died, and a few other close friends died too. I lost three dearest friends in the same year and a mentor. Getting cancelled after coming out; it was one thing after another.

“It wasn’t a good time to be Hugh, but one of the great things about going through those hard times was having showbiz.

famously by Johnny Cash. The two-and-a-halfminute song about heartbreak and self-affirmation became an anthem. “Themes of love and loss are universal, and Neil had this edge, where he could sing and make you feel like he might crack, but never did,” Sheridan says.

They remember heading to Melbourne to rehearse for the show while their father was still alive.

“I really didn’t want to go because I thought, ‘What if he dies when I am away?’,” they say.

“My father was in the hospital and not well when I was travelling to Melbourne, but he was incredibly persistent [that I] pursue the show,” Sheridan says.

“My siblings told me that he wanted to hear Neil Diamond songs in hospital so he could remind himself to keep hanging on. Dad won’t be with me physically this October, but I know he’ll be there beside me, holding my hand.” ● SOLITARY MAN \ October 28, Hamer Hall

EDUCATION

Wo r d s

Opportunities to excel When awarding scholarships, top high schools are looking beyond grades.

I

f your child has strong abilities academically, musically or perhaps on the sporting field, you might be considering a scholarship for their high school years.

Securing a scholarship can have obvious financial advantages for recipients and their families, but it can bring myriad other benefits, too.

“Scholarships can change lives,” says Robyn McCutchan of Melbourne Girls Grammar School.

“Yes, there is a financial benefit, but the most important component is providing an opportunity for a young person to excel and to know that they have won a place at the school based on merit.

“This can be a huge boost to the confidence of a young person.”

Offering scholarships is important, adds McCutchan – the school’s

executive director, marketing and community engagement – not only because it’s a way of attracting talented and motivated individuals, but also because it adds diversity to the school community.

The South Yarra girls’ school offers classes from early learning through to year 12, with a range of scholarships that include academic, music and Indigenous, as well as boarding scholarships for regional students.

Scholarship applications for 2024 open in November.

McCutchan says the school is looking for well-rounded young people. “It’s not just about their abilities and their scores on paper,” she says. “We want scholars who will be involved and engaged in school life, and who want to make a difference now and in the future,

and who are not afraid to speak up for what they believe in.”

The invitation is similarly addressed down the road at Caulfield’s Shelford Girls’ Grammar, an independent day school for girls from prep to year 12.

The school is currently accepting late applications for academic, general excellence and music scholarships for 2024.

Shelford’s principal, Katrina Brennan, says receiving a scholarship is a great honour for students and a recognition of their achievements.

J E S S I CA G A B IT E S

“It can also be a really good motivator for them as well, providing positive feedback about them as people and learners and really inspiring them to do well,” she adds.

Most independent schools offer scholarships for external and/or current students, with scholarship programs and application processes unique to each school. Some are fullfee-paying scholarships, while others cover part of the cost of tuition.

Scholarships can be academic or focus on specific areas such as music, the arts or sport, or be aimed at Indigenous or rural students, and may be geared to certain year levels.

Written exams, practical assessments, portfolios and interviews can form part of the application process.

Shelford offers three types of scholarship. The academic scholarships involve an online test, while general excellence scholarships are tailored for students who are engaged with their learning and who involve themselves in a number of areas. These involve an interview with the principal.

Music scholarships require a performance before the school’s head of performing arts.

When it comes to applying for scholarships, experts say it is important for families to do their homework about different schools.

But you can over-prepare, too.

“You don’t need to coach your daughters or do extra tutoring,” cautions Brennan.

“Just let them be themselves …

“What we are really looking for … is someone with the right disposition, who will try really hard.” ●

“We want scholars who will be involved and engaged in school life, and who want to make a difference.”

Rapidly growing Geelong is now the gateway to Tassie.

Winning spirit

TOURISM GREATER GEELONG

A

fter 37 years, the Spirit of Tasmania made its final journey from Station Pier in Port Melbourne to the Apple Isle on October 22.

It’s not the end for the iconic ferry service, but rather a new beginning, as it moves to a new architectdesigned terminal in Victoria’s second biggest city – Geelong. Vessels now arrive and depart from a new purpose-built passenger terminal called Spirit of Tasmania Quay.

The arrival of 450,000 passengers on 850 voyages a year is expected to see visitor numbers swell in the

Geelong region, which is already experiencing rapid growth.

Famed for its beautiful esplanade, relaxed coastal lifestyle and position just 75 kilometres south-west of Melbourne, Geelong is growing faster than Australia’s five largest capital cities.

TT-Line chairman Michael Grainger says the move to Geelong gives the company an opportunity to enhance the passenger experience and to expand its freight offering in line with demand.

“Over the years our service has grown from strength to strength to the point where we have outgrown our home port at Station Pier, Port Melbourne,” he says.

“The new terminal will also accommodate the larger Spirit of Tasmania vessels that are due for

completion in the first quarter of 2024 and the last quarter of 2024.”

The new 12-hectare dedicated site in Corio includes the terminal building, a passenger vehicle marshalling area for 600 cars, more efficient passenger vehicle check-in, security facilities, public amenities, a cafe, a children’s play area and a pet exercise area.

While the main driver for visitors is using the city as a launching pad to Tasmania, it also presents a great opportunity for them to experience the world-class hospitality, retail and arts scenes in and around Geelong.

Emma Hawkins, a local businesswoman and wife of Geelong Football Club star Tom, says it’s incredible how much Geelong has changed since she first came to the town more than a decade ago.

KI M WI L S O N

“I was introduced to Geelong 16 years ago when my husband moved here, and I will admit it was difficult for him to drag me out of Melbourne most weekends,” she says.

“I can honestly say now, I am so proud to show off Geelong to all of my friends from out of town. There is so much to see in terms of galleries, retail and culture.

“You can be at one of our regional wineries and then 15 minutes later be walking [through] the Geelong Gallery in town and then 20 minutes later be visiting the beach in Barwon Heads or Torquay.

“I love that you get to experience regional, coastal and city all at once.

It’s so unique to Geelong.”

Hawkins’ insider insights into the best places to eat and drink include Felix Restaurant, which has “a cool

vibe and heavenly food”, Caledonia Shores, which offers “amazing food, views and cocktails” and Tulip Bar and Restaurant, which is “classic, consistent, delicious and my go-to for date night”.

Her favourite retail stores include Greenhouse Interiors and the Natural Supply Co, as well as fashion stores Mayfield and Husk.

Greenhouse Interiors founder Julia Green says Geelong has “culturally exploded” in recent years.

“Every street corner is undergoing gentrification, with Little Malop Street’s eateries and wine bars making it THE destination to be,” she says.

“We have had the Archibald Exhibition up the road from us here, alongside so many gorgeous stores opening up, like ours.

Caledonia Shores.

“We share a laneway with Igni, which constantly wins food awards, and is worldwide acclaimed as one of Australia’s top restaurants. This is an amazing little find in a laneway and signifies the kind of surprises Geelong keeps serving up.” ●

Barrington Avenue’s residents smile when hearing of their neighbours down the road: “They’re so quiet!”

Yes, because they’re at eternal rest. Yet Boroondara Cemetery actually enhances the land of the living, and there’s a lot of good living in the avenues behind it. Ask the kids. They’ll tell you about shady, skate-friendly footpaths and the Adeney Café, where parents loll in the sun while children play in Victoria Park.

This 1920s property mixes heritage with luxurious 2020s credentials. With its shingled gable and stucco columns, it’s an ornament to the avenue. Behind its leadlight door, however, the red-brick bastion has been rebuilt to suit today’s family.

When Hawthorn architect Drew Cole stepped in he envisaged holidays at home, a sun-seeker’s paradise with a deck and heated, self-cleaning pool. The new family and dining areas, airy and glamorous, would have smoky European oak floors, full-length windows and sliders to a barbecue pergola.

Though chic, this place is ready for tough love. Three communal areas include the front living room, the oakfloored family area and, upstairs, the retreat and possible home cinema. Bathrooms are fully tiled in grey and white.

The kitchen, glossy in brown stone, deserves to have an over-heated chef lay their cheek on the cool waterfall island.

Along the hall is a study with a deck and bookcases. The laundry, one door down, has external access.

Sociable families will enjoy the sleek kitchen, which has twin V-ZUG ovens, a coffee machine and a Vintec wine fridge, plus a butler’s pantry.

On the first floor, a carpeted retreat gives kids a place to entertain their friends. Two double bedrooms have walkin wardrobes and en suites, and one has in-roof storage.
