I have covered several seasons of The Block as a Domain journalist and, on each occasion, the task ahead has never failed to intrigue and frighten me – and that’s watching from the comfort of my couch, with a cup of tea in hand. Spare a thought for the teams, forfeiting every comfort, circular saw in hand, to create luxury real estate that commands top dollar from nothing but squalor. Our cover stars this week, former professional netballers Carla and Bianca, are among the teams who have steeled themselves for the challenge. (Hard) hats off to you, and the very best of luck! ●

COVER STORY
Calling the shots The toughest challenge yet – a famous St Kilda eyesore – confronts new teams on The Block, who will spill sweat and sawdust to create landmark apartments.
Former netballers Carla and Bianca are expected to be formidable on The Block.

“Year on year the brief gets bigger and bolder. It’s been really exciting being involved with the rebirth of a grand old dame.” JULIAN BRENCHLEY - THE BLOCK’S ARCHITECT
A
s the teams for the new season of The Block walked into the old Gatwick Hotel in St Kilda for the first time, they had no idea they would be taking on the biggest project in the show’s history. “There’s nothing that can prepare you for that feeling when you’re thrust into a property like the Gatwick,” contestant and former professional netballer Carla says. “You walk in, the carpets are wet underfoot, there’s a smell that you’re confronted with. You’re a bit like a deer in headlights.” It’s a building with a patchy past. Built as a luxurious hotel in 1937, the Gatwick fell into disrepair, and had up to recently been used as a lowbudget rooming house. In the 14th season of The Block, five couples from across Australia will transform the notorious Fitzroy Street dive from rundown hotel to high-end apartment building over just 12 weeks. Architect Julian Brenchley, who has worked on the show since its first season, says transforming the building was a feat like no other. “We like to give ourselves challenges, so year on year the brief gets bigger and bolder. They’re the biggest apartments we’ve ever done.” Brenchley says. “It’s been really exciting being involved with the rebirth of a grand old dame.” The project is set to breathe new life into this somewhat downtrodden area of St Kilda. Hocking Stuart Albert Park director David Wood, who was the auctioneer of last season’s winning property by Josh Barker and Elyse Knowles, says locals have been positive about the building’s rejuvenation. “The Block renovating the Gatwick will be the catalyst for real improvement in Fitzroy Street and the surrounding streets,” Wood says. “A lot of people who live locally have said they’d be very interested to have a look at the apartments because they love the location.”
Wo r d s
He says the apartments are likely to fetch record prices for the area. “There’s precious few that have the size that these properties have and there’s very few that have the nature of the renovation.” The task of having 10 relative novices designing, managing and completing a renovation of the quality and scale The Block requires is not a small one, but Brenchley says most of the applicants at least had some clue about what goes on on a building site. “People are getting more savvy with how things are done,” he says. “There are limitations, but then that’s when the creative juices are meant to flow.”
F
or former professional netballers and Bianca and Carla, their lack of experience on the tools is made up for by their ability to stay calm under pressure. Bianca won Commonwealth Games gold and silver for Australia in netball, and hit the court for the Melbourne Phoenix and Melbourne Vixens, where she played alongside Carla. They met about 15 years ago, and though they’ve not always lived in the same state, their friendship has lasted the test of time – and so far, the test of The Block. “Coming from a team sports background, you have that foundation of knowing what you need to make a good team, and I guess, that real hunger to win,” Carla says. “I still want to make sure we come out of this very good friends – that means more to me than anything else.” It was Bianca’s idea for them to audition for the show. Her dad is a builder and she has renovated a couple of small apartments in Melbourne. “Both of us have to be labourers, we have to carry as much stuff up stairs as we can,” Bianca says. “Anything where we can get our hands dirty, we’re doing it.”
JEMIMAH CLEGG ●
Ph o t o
She says friends told her to get a male counterpart to audition with – someone who could do more of the physical work – but Bianca says being a rare allgirl team was not a disadvantage. “I get budget-wise it might be helpful to have a guy with a trade,” Bianca says. “But like [season seven winners] Alisa and Lysandra [Fraser] showed, it’s possible and I hope it shows other girls that they could do it too.” Another team, West Australian fiancees Courtney and Hans, are also renovation rookies. The flight attendant and pilot met seven years ago and decided on a whim to try out for the show. “I think everyone loves a bit of a cliche and the pilot-flight attendant storyline everyone kind of loves,” Courtney says. She says arriving in Melbourne with no trade contacts – especially once they saw the condition of The Gatwick – was overwhelming. “I wanted to leave. I was like ‘we are way in over our heads, there’s absolutely no way in the world we are going to be able to do this’.” Hans says the pair have realised their tendency to be “rule followers” might not always work in their favour. “The whole thing is not to take ‘no’ for an answer, and it took us a while to cotton on to that,” Hans says. “You have to just throw all caution to the wind and persevere.” Carla says what she’s learnt about herself has made the stress of renovating a room a week worth it. “It’s the best thing I’ve ever done – I loved the experiences I had with netball – but this is a challenge that’s completely out of my comfort zone and to be able to do it gives me a massive sense of achievement.” ● THE BLOCK 2018 \ Premieres Sunday August 5, 7pm, on Channel 9. ● 9now.com.au

hen HWKR approached me to take on one of their pop-up leases at their food hall in the Melbourne CBD, I came up with a Malaysian street food concept, which offers both traditional and fusion dishes. It was then that Chanteen was born, using family recipes passed down through the generations. Chanteen is cooking from scratch with no shortcuts, and this is my secret satay recipe. It is one our top-selling dishes along with the Char Kuey Teow. Don’t be overwhelmed by the list of ingredients as I guarantee you it is worth the hassle. Do it over the weekend, allowing 24 hours for the meat to marinate and if you haven’t got a charcoal grill, use the barbecue instead. However, charcoal will give you a deeper and smokier flavour, which you can’t get from an electric grill. If you think it’s all too much work, pop down to Chanteen before it closes on August 12. ●

iven the current turbo-charged interest in all things Tasmanian, it’s not surprising that the state’s pinot noir output is also attracting extra attention. It should. Tasmanian expressions of this fickle grape variety are among the best in the country and there’s an increasing acknowledgement that the state is home to several distinct subregions that make drinking the stuff even more interesting. Philip Kennedy, co-owner of recently refurbished Southbank restaurant Pure South, has not only been specialising in all things Tasmanian at his restaurant for 14 years but also makes wine in Tasmania, including pinot noir. He has watched the wine industry develop and reckons it’s like it has “advanced 40 years in the last 15 years”. “I think what’s interesting is that people are PU R E S O U T H

finally acknowledging and taking real pride in the length and the breadth of the quality in Tasmania and that there are distinct subregions,” he says. “In the north, you get more fragrant, bright pomegranate expressions, while in the south the wines are more broody, more savoury with dark cherry characteristics. ‘‘In the east, it’s hard to put into words, but they display a savoury character with an almost lolly-like lick of musk and a quality like dark red blossom.” For those wanting to compare and contrast Tasmania’s pinot noir (and others), Pure South is hosting VIN Diemen, a former wine trade show that’s evolved into an annual festival highlighting the state’s food and wine output. The festival will take over the top floor of Pure South and some of the ground level with 26

Bob Dylan moments
SOFIE LAGUNA \ Author of The Choke
Bob Dylan has threaded his way through my life since I first discovered him when I was 15. His songs have guided me and carried me in different ways. The characters I am interested in writing about tend to be marginalised. They come from life’s underclass, and are often isolated: language is not necessarily easy for them. I have this feeling that if I don’t give them a story, then who will? Bob Dylan’s 1985 song, Up To Me, plays in my head every day as I write. I don’t understand the song, and yet I do. For me it is a song about sacrifice and determination and loneliness.
The music legend is returning to Melbourne to perform. Prominent fans share the personal impact of his songs.

I’ve always had the most idiotic fantasy about going back in time to May, 1965, and hanging around in the laneway behind London’s Savoy Hotel to watch Dylan filming the video to Subterranean Homesick Blues. It is a sublimely jumbled masterpiece of inchoate images, none of which make sense on their own, but which together erupt in the brain, to linger there like a dream you can never shake. And the video! Just him standing there in that lane, with that pile of cards. He dumped the cards in a skip. I would dive in after them.
As a 16 year old I’d play Like A Rolling Stone before going out. Then a friend loaned me Blonde On Blonde and we recited the lyrics to Visions Of Johanna. I hitched to Queensland because I wanted to say, I’d been ‘‘hittin’ some hard travelin’’. Saw him three nights running at The Music Bowl in 1978 and at Kooyong, The Palais, Rod Laver, Byron, and soon I’ll see him again. He was interviewed by a friend in 1986, and I found a spot by the hotel door, knowing he would have to walk past. He shook my hand. Brief, but deeply momentous.
Allstars
I first heard Dylan in year 8 English class, 1977: the teacher gave us the lyrics and pressed play on his Casio cassette player. Like rolling stones we wandered, warbling out. The tune was threadbare, but the lyrics made rudimentary sense – I was hooked. The glaring honesty of Dylan’s unadorned delivery may be the reason few of his songs are covered. Who would dare match his frankness?
Another Side Of Bob Dylan will never be far from my player, as it’s the most warm, crackling, open fire of a record I think I’ve ever heard. Ballad in Plain D reduces me to tears ... it’s a perfect song among perfect songs. To The Bone, Ella Hooper’s new single, out now.

Striking the right chord
GREG BRIGGS
SPECIAL PROMOTION
O
n a sunny, winter morning in Box Hill, Kingswood College’s Head of Junior School, Julian Carroll, is busy with a class of excitable year-3 students. It doesn’t take long for him to get their attention, however. With a few chords from his guitar Carroll soon has the children singing, laughing and dancing along to one of Peter Combe’s famous children’s tunes, Spaghetti Bolognese. Carroll’s enthusiasm and passion for education hasn’t waned in 38 years. He’s been a teacher and principal in schools in Ballarat, Geelong and wider Melbourne. He joined Kingswood College 18 months ago, where he leads staff and students from ELC to year 6 on the college’s large campus, which also houses the middle and senior schools. Carroll says that while he’s loved all of his roles, there is something special about Kingswood College – and it’s not just the wonderful singing of the year 3s. Or the fact he grew up around the corner. “I guess the attraction for me about Kingswood College is the wonderful community,” he explains. “It’s just a fantastic community. I’ve been in bigger schools before but I just really enjoy the relationships with the students, the staff and the parents here. “We are also an International Baccalaureate PYP (Primary Years Programme) school, so that’s been a great attraction as well – having a strong educational program behind us,” he says. The PYP encourages inquiry-led learning, allowing students to grow academically and develop the skills they need for future careers. “We really have to equip our students with the skills for the future, so they need to be flexible, they need to be able to work in teams. We want to foster curiosity, creativity and the ability to think critically,” Carroll says. “That’s not to say that numeracy and literacy are not important, because they are, but we need to prepare students to be ready for future jobs.” Carroll says Kingswood also focuses on teaching young students to become good citizens. “We have a responsibility to educate learners who are knowledgeable, have great social skills, are caring, empathetic and tolerant, and independent, which aligns to the values of our school.”
KI N G S WO O D C O L L E G E H E A D O F J U N I O R S C H O O L J U LIA N CA R R O L L
It was during his own schooling that Carroll first became interested in becoming a teacher. He went on to study at Burwood Teacher’s College, but says he did also consider other professions. “My father was an engineer and I was going to go down that path, but then I realised in school that I didn’t have a passion for that area,” Carroll says. “We had careers people that came out and talked to us and I thought about primary teaching, it really resonated with me. “I think what I’ve loved is being involved in the formative years of a student’s growth of learning. We build on the foundations and it’s being where the action is. “Of course, I believe in lifelong learning. “However, those early years are really important.” It was also during his time at school that Carroll found his passion for music and in his teens started
to play the guitar, eventually earning himself a Diploma of Music along with his teaching qualifications. “There was always music in the house when I was growing up,” Carroll explains. “I remember Hot August Night from Neil Diamond just played relentlessly on the stereo, and The Beatles, who I just love.” He wants to encourage young students at Kingswood to follow their passions, including music, through choirs, bands, orchestras and theatrical performances. “I still do a bit of music outside of school,’’ he says, strumming his guitar to get the children ready to sing again. ‘‘It’s a real interest and passion, and hopefully a passion I bring into the classroom from time to time.” ● MELISSA HEAGNEY

Rossimel was halfway through year 12 when she realised she didn’t want to pursue a career as a physiotherapist. “It was sort of a last-minute decision to study engineering,” Rossimel explains. “I had planned to studying something in the medical field – maybe physiotherapy – then halfway through year 12 I realised I couldn’t do it because I didn’t want to spend too much time in hospitals. “A family friend identified how much maths and science meant to me and she asked if I’d ever considered engineering. I had never really heard of it and she explained ... civil engineering and how civil engineers design roads, bridges, waterways. That really excited me.” Rossimel discovered her passion for maths and sciences as a student at OLMC Heidelberg, receiving support and encouragement from her teachers to excel in her studies. “I had different types of mentors for different facets of my learning ... for academia two come to mind, a maths teacher and a physics/science teacher,” she says. “My physics/science teacher gave me the passion and the confidence to pursue what I now pursue. She believed in my abilities and she helped me understand the concepts I was studying.” She also had teachers who encouraged her confidence to lead. “In year 7 I was really shy ... but I was thrown into different leadership positions throughout school – I was the college vice-captain in year 12 and the 12-year-old girl who started at Our Lady’s would never have even dreamed of taking on that position, so I saw a huge transition that happened during my time there,” Rossimel says. After graduating from OLMC, Rossimel studied a Bachelor of Engineering (Civil Engineering) with honours at Monash University after being awarded a full scholarship. She credits her parents with supporting her to follow her dreams, even when the degree she was studying proved challenging. “Engineering can be quite a difficult degree – sometimes I would think, ‘maybe I’m not smart enough for this’ - but my mum and dad would always give me a lot of confidence that I could get through it. “My mum would cut out articles of engineers

when they were in the paper and give them to me so that would encourage me to keep going. So I couldn’t have done it without them.” Rossimel says hard work led her to job and other leadership opportunities during university. “If you try to excel in everything you do, doors to other opportunities will open. I was awarded that scholarship and then so many other opportunities came along. I was given leadership roles and went on to undergraduate studies and work over the summer break and eventually full-time work,” she says. “I spent six months in an underground mine in rural NSW. “I was given the opportunity to go into a brand new mine as they were excavating it to understand how the mine was structurally behaving in hard rock mass, so that was fascinating. “I developed such a love for mining engineering I then went to a university in Denmark – I spent a semester there doing arctic engineering and mining in the Greenland/Sweden area. That was a massive highlight.”
Rossimel is currently working as a structural engineer for a company that is working on Melbourne’s rail grade separations and levelcrossing removals. “At the moment I can’t wait to take my family and friends to the Mernda rail extension. A lot of the girls I went to school with bought houses in Mernda and are really struggling to get into the city because they’d have to drive all the way to South Morang. Now I’ve designed three bridges along that Mernda railway so it’s really nice to see the impact that it will have on them,” Rossimel says. The Mernda rail project will be completed later this year, around the same time Rossimel will return to OLMC Heidelberg for her 10-year reunion. Her advice for young women looking to get into an engineering job is to “100 per cent go for it”. “My eyes have been opened up to so many facets of engineering and it’s really amazing what you can achieve by having the fundamentals of maths and science behind you. You can be an inventor or a designer but you can really influence the world.” ● ● To see Carla talk about her story with OLMC students, visit the video gallery at olmcheidelberg.catholic.edu.au MELISSA HEAGNEY

Primary and secondary schools, and buses, are within walking distance. The house is contemporary in design with luxurious fittings. Herringbone European Oak parquetry has been laid throughout the living areas on the ground floor and the decor is sophisticated and contemporary. A cloakroom at the entry is a thoughtful addition and indicates the level of detail that has been included in this smart, low-maintenance design. Also towards the front are the laundry, a powder room and bedroom with en suite and built-in wardrobe. The rest of this floor is the flowing living-dining and kitchen area. The kitchen has white and timber cabinetry with stone benchtops and a walk-in pantry with sink. The large waterfall island bench has decorative pendant lights above, and the splashback is double-glazing to the side garden. Miele appliances, a double under-mount sink in bronze finish, and an appliance hub, all combine to make a kitchen that would be a pleasure to use. In the living room, a fireplace makes winter evenings cosy and this room opens to a covered al fresco deck with park views.

June Quarter 2018 The REIV figures released for the June Quarter confirm the housing market is in a correction phase, with the median house price for Melbourne dropping by 0.6% down to $840,000.
REIV’s latest figures also show the unit and apartment median price for Melbourne was up by 0.5% to $640,000.
The drop in prices over the last three months was greatest for the inner and middle suburbs, where the overall median house price fell by 4.9% for inner and 5.4% for middle Melbourne.
The overall number of sales in many areas of Manningham was down, making the reporting of median prices for our area even less meaningful. The article on “Defining Median Price” explains what the median prices actually do tell us and how to make some sense of them.
Contributing to the lower prices, according to the REIV, was a fall of 0.8% in the median prices of properties sold at auction compared to an increase of 2.3% in prices achieved by private sales. Median House Prices in Manningham
