AARON CULLEN

There isn’t another Australian like Anh Do. He is truly unique. When the comedian, writer and actor went back to school, as an adult, to make more of his love of painting, he did something so few of us ever embark on. We get into the rhythm of life and leave old passions latent. But going back to the brush was a stroke of genius. His ABC interview program returns, and with his combination of wit, warmth and a gift for portraiture using “a whole bunch of cake-decorating knives”, he paints a fascinating picture of Australians from all walks of life. Journalist Luke Dennehy met him for our feature. ●

COVER STORY

The comedian, writer and actor returned to school to pursue art, and has made a hit show of it.

A portrait of Anh Do 6

DOM A IN REV IEW

“I am not immune to things going on around the world, but I also try to look for reasons to be thankful for everything that comes my way ...”

Once the portrait is finished – after a few hours in front of the subject – the final result is revealed. “I am so nervous before [the portrait is spun around] because I really care what they think,” he says.

Do’s distinctive style of portraiture comes from an old university job while he was studying law in the 1990s. “When I went back to TAFE, the teacher showed us a range of utensils you could use, from brushes to pallet knives, all sorts of things,” he says.

“I remembered at university that I worked as a cake decorator in a cheesecake shop. So when I started painting again, I bought myself a whole bunch of cake-decorating knives.

“So when I paint, it’s like I’m decorating a cake.”

JANIE BARRETT

I

t was six years ago that Anh Do re-discovered his love of painting, something he had first enjoyed as a child after coming to Australia by boat in 1980 as a refugee from Vietnam.

Despite his passion, it was a risk as Do, now 42, found himself out of his comfort zone. “I loved drawing as a little kid and when you get to high school, people tell you, ‘you should take art because you will score well’,” he says.

“But I didn’t pick it and I ended up regretting it for many, many years until ... I went back to TAFE. “I walked in and I’m 36, going back to paint with 18-year-old kids. One kid came up to me and said ‘You look like Anh Do,’ and I said ‘that’s because I am’. He then goes ‘Nah, but geez you look like him,’ and walked away.”

Thankfully for the arts and entertainment worlds, Do not only re-discovered his love for painting but it became obvious that he had a real gift.

Since that TAFE course, he has established himself as a respected portrait artist – including winning the 2017 Archibald Prize People’s Choice Award for his portrait of actor Jack Charles – and has made four seasons of the ABC show Anh’s Brush With Fame.

Network executives search far and wide for natural talent to helm the show, and Do has it in droves. The format involves prominent Australians from many different walks of life sitting for a portrait session with Do, as he interviews them about their lives.

The fourth series airs from April 17 and features intriguing conversations with personalities including Lindy Chamberlein-Creighton (who was wrongly convicted over the death of baby daughter Azaria), former Australian cricket captain Michael Clarke and singer Dannii Minogue.

Chamberlein-Creighton’s episode, in particular, is set to make headlines.

“She told me years after what happened in 1980 when Azaria was killed, her son, who was now a teenager, was lying on the ground and the family dog walked across his back and he sat up in a cold sweat and was freaking out,” Do says. “Lindy asked him what was wrong, and he said it felt just like the time a dingo walked across his back.”

With his natural and warm delivery, Do always gleans candid and sometimes very emotional and revealing interviews.

Anh Do with mum Hien and his portrait of Jack Charles.

E

verything Do does is with his own brand of charm, and without ego, which has made him a popular character of stage and screen.

As well as being one of Australia’s top comedians, he has also acted, appeared on Dancing With The Stars, released many children’s books and penned the top-selling autobiography The Happiest Refugee.

There have been plans to turn the book, an

Wo r d s

uplifting story but also one of peril and sacrifice, into a movie or television series.

The Happiest Refugee follows Do and his remarkable family history, from escaping Vietnam to surving days at sea in a leaky fishing boat and becoming a famous comedian.

“Like everyone, I have my up-and-down days, but if you look at things to be happy about, there are truckloads,” he says.

“I’m not immune to things going on around the world, but I also try to look for reasons to be thankful for everything that comes my way, and for the life I get to live.”

He now lives in Sydney with his wife Suzanne and their four children; Leon, Xavier, Luc and Summer.

Family is everything to Do, and his kids help him with ideas when he writes children’s books (more are to be released this year).

“We go on camping trips and say we drive for three hours, I’ll start a scenario, and just throw something out there ... like a girl gets lost in the forest, and we will go around the car and my kids continue the story, and all of the sudden we’ve got a new book called Wolf Girl that is actually coming out in July,” he says.

Life for Do is not about sitting back and waiting for opportunities to unfold, and he is very happy balancing a variety of pursuits.

“I always thought I’d get back into painting when I retired,” he says.

“Then a really great mate passed away at age 50, and it made me realise, if I wait till I’m 65, you never know. If you love something, just do it now.

“My son can play video games for eights hours’ straight, and it doesn’t feel like work.

“I’m the same, I can paint for eight hours and it doesn’t feel like work, whereas when I used to be a law student, I would put off those law essays until the two hours before it was due.” ● ANH’S BRUSH WITH FAME \ New season starts on April 17, ABC and ABC iView.

America on a precipice LAST MONTH

T

ired of Winning was born out of a failure.

A failure, Richard Cooke explains, of being in the US for the 2016 presidential election and not understanding the tectonic forces that would propel Donald Trump into the Oval Office.

So, he returned in the lead-up to last year’s midterm elections to get a grip on not so much the Trump presidency, but how contemporary America is quickly slipping into decline.

Avoiding the well-reported “rust-belt” states like Ohio and Pennsylvania, Cooke ventures into places like Huntington, West Virginia, where a quarter of the population is addicted to opioids.

Cooke takes us to the hurricane-battered state of North Carolina, where local authorities are wilfully turning a blind eye to the impact of climate change because it could affect coastal real estate prices.

We get a disturbing insight into the racially charged politics of key swing state Florida.

“Trumpism”, observes Cooke, “is driven by racism.

It cements it.”

Cooke laments that “mass shooting in America” is a phrase that now has the same “callous familiarity” as “bombing in Baghdad”.

We are on the scene in the aftermath of the mass shooting at an Annapolis newspaper office, the 24th mass shooting of the year. It was June.

Cooke ventures into a suburban shooting range (as mundane as a bowling alley) to experience how a popular assault weapon is so easy-to-use. Tired of Winning is a sobering account of how “the greatest country of all” is now teetering on a precipice. ●

Fresh, tasty and packed full of flavour

W

hile many of us may know of nasi goreng or fried rice, it’s safe to say not many have heard of nasi ulam, which translates to "herb rice" in English.

This dish is traditional to Malay and Peranakan cuisine. Peranakan, which is my heritage, means straits-born Chinese that immigrated to the straits of Malaysia between the 15th and 17th centuries.

Nasi ulam is usually served warm or at room temperature and the most common condiment to serve with the rice is sambal belacan, an aromatic chilli paste which can be purchased at most Asian grocers if you don’t have the time to make the recipe here.

Nasi ulam is a very healthy, yet tasty dish, packed full of herbs and is very easy to put together.

The main challenge will be finding all the right ingredients. If one or two are missing it will not alter the taste of the dish too much.

The beauty about this is that it can easily be made into a vegetarian dish as well. ●

Instagram: @diana.chan.au

Nasi Ulam (Herb Rice) Ingredients (Serves 4) 2 cups of cooked jasmine rice, allow to cool slightly ½ bunch of mint leaves 6 betel leaves, chiffonade (thinly sliced) ½ bunch coriander leaves, chiffonade 6 kaffir lime leaves, chiffonade ½ bunch Vietnamese mint, chiffonade 2 red shallots, chiffonade 10g of fresh turmeric, chiffonade (use 1 tsp of powdered turmeric if fresh is unavailable) 1 lemongrass, (white part only) finely chopped ½ cup of dried baby shrimps (soaked and pounded to resemble fine breadcrumbs) 2 inches of salted dried fish (fried until crispy and crumbled) ½ cup of toasted desiccated coconut Salt to taste Pinch of white pepper

Method ■ Make the sambal belacan by blending together the chillies and belacan. Add a little water if needed to get the blending process going.

■

Mix all the ingredients for the rice together once the rice has cooled down. Serve with sambal belacan and a squeeze of lime juice. ●

TRAVEL \ PORT FAIRY oats and Norfolk pines. These and the sense I was a long way from Melbourne are what I remembered most from previous visits to Port Fairy, a beautiful and historic seaside village in Victoria’s south-west.

A recent return visit confirmed that the drive is still decent but the distance (nearly 300 kilometres) is comforting – you can't help but leave your city concerns behind after 3.5 hours in the car.

Happily, the pines are still there (some more than 100 years old) and so are the boats. In fact, thanks to local historian Marten Syme, we are able to take a close look at the oldest surviving self-righting, self-draining lifeboat in the world. The Port Fairy was built in Williamstown in 1857 and lives in its own boathouse on the Moyne River, which is otherwise dotted with private yachts, fishing boats and runabouts.

While generally a sleepy sort of place, in January the community gets together for the Moyneyana Festival, February is all about the Port Fairy Jazz Festival, and then in March the huge Port Fairy Folk Festival rolls into town.

Amenities that make a splash.

EAT \ Port Fairy's wide, weather-exposed streets are

home to several unreconstructed pubs, a decent local pizzeria and bar (Coffin Sally) and great breakfast joint The Farmer's Wife. The village lost its two-hatted restaurant, Fen, in early 2018 but the owners have started pop-up dinners at local boutique hotel, Drift House. Meanwhile, one-hatted Gladioli has moved into Fen's old premises, with owner Matt Dempsey also operating Conlan's Wine Store, a two-minute walk away. The Merrijig Inn has a great little bar, too – and accommodation.

beetroot and horseradish and salads of apples, Shaw River buffalo cheese and candied walnuts.

STAY \ Demand hots up over summer but there are plenty of holiday rentals and short stays for all budgets. We were lucky enough to stay at boutique hotel Drift House, which has six comfortable suites from $395 a night for two adults. â—?

EXPLORE \ For a morning excursion we head to

Stroll to the lighthouse and capture the moment.

WALK \ Port Fairy oozes maritime history and was

established as a whaling station back in the early 19th century. No visit would be complete without a walk to the highly Instagrammable lighthouse, a pleasant 25-minute stroll from Martins Point Reserve. Along the way we spot several black wallabies and short-tailed shearwaters (aka mutton birds). Built in 1858 and now heritage-listed, the operational lighthouse is occasionally open to visitors in January and on long weekends.

Tower Hill Wildlife Reserve, a geologically fascinating spot that has you literally driving down into the mouth of a (long-dormant) volcano. Expect to spot kangaroos, curious emus and, if you're lucky, even the odd koala.

DRINK \ On the way home in Killarney we drop in

to Basalt Wines and meet its Warrnambool-bred owner and raconteur Shane Clancy, who planted vines here 16 years ago. The wines are awardwinningly good (try the riesling or pinot noir) and the rustic cellar door turns out impressive nosh, such as western district smoked eel with pickled

Eating nine to five ‘S

am, I’m just too busy with work” is one of the most common excuses that I hear. It sounds harsh to call this an excuse, but you really can eat well at work if you are organised.

Here are some simple tips to help stay on top of your nutrition from 9 to 5.

MEAL PREP LIKE A PRO \ When it comes to sticking to healthy routine, a bit of a preparation goes a long way. A little tip I always give my working 28ers is to commit to an “hour of power” every Sunday night to meal prep lunches for the working week.

When you know that you have a delicious homemade chicken curry waiting for you in the workplace fridge, you’re way less likely to be tempted by those toasties at the cafe around the corner. Trust me– both your waistline and your wallet will thank you for this one!

KEEP A HEALTHY SNACK STASH \ I get it – when

the dreaded 3pm looms, it’s tempting to hit up the vending machine to grab a Coke or Mars Bar to get you through the afternoon. But with a stocked-up, healthy snack drawer right next to your computer, you have got no excuse to grab something that isn’t good for you.

Small packets of nuts, popcorn, grain crackers and bliss balls are all awesome satisfying snacks that will give you an energy boost for your afternoon.

CUT YOUR COFFEE INTAKE \ I’ll never be the

trainer who says ‘you can’t eat this’ or ‘you can’t have that’ and, as a coffee lover myself, I’m not here to say you should cut out coffee completely.

But I always remind my 28ers that their morning latte is considered a snack, so try to keep your coffee intake to one a day.

SCHO O HOL ID L AYS!

DINE AWAY FROM YOUR DESK \ Mindlessly

Australians sit for almost 10 hours every day – this shocking statistic is one of the many reasons why you should get up from your desk and get moving.

Take frequent breaks throughout the day to go for a quick walk around the block. Not only will this get your step count up for the day, it’ll give you a burst of energy if you’re starting to lose focus.

I understand this one is more about movement than food, but we tend to be such all-or-nothing people. When we move, we make better food decisions – plain and simple.

shoving your lunch down in front of the computer is tempting (especially when you’re busy), but it can easily lead to over-eating.

When you eat without paying attention to the taste, smell and texture of your food, it becomes hard for your mind to register what you have eaten and can mean that soon after you’re craving more.

Take your lunch outside, get some fresh air and try to enjoy each mouthful away from distractions.

GET YOUR TEAM ON BOARD \ When you’re trying to commit to a healthy routine, there’s no denying the strength in numbers.

Recruit a buddy or a few members of your team to commit to a healthy routine with you. This way you can be loud and proud about your healthy intentions.

Keeping each other accountable will also make sticking to your guns that much easier, and together you can strongly say “no thanks” to the biscuit tin.

SIP SMART \ Staying hydrated is one thing I can’t

stress enough when it comes to staying healthy at work. So often, those hunger pangs you experience when you’re sitting at your desk is your body reminding you of one thing – you are simply thirsty.

My advice is to grab yourself a water bottle to keep on your desk at all times as a constant reminder to drink a little more. Herbal teas are also great ways to ensure you keep up the H2O. ● ● 28bysamwood.com

Dr. Tony Stubbs, Eye Surgeon, says that just about anyone can have their vision restored and be rid of their glasses for most of the time. And this is without the use of laser surgery.

Dr Stubbs formerly at the Royal Victorian Eye Hospital who has worked with the Fred Hollows eye department at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney, says he began his career through the inspiration of his father, Dr Maxwell Stubbs. “My father was a pioneer in cataract implant surgery from 1963! He has now passed away but some of his patients still come in for a check-up. Not only is this inspirational, it also demonstrates that good surgery outlasts the surgeon,� Dr Stubbs says.

A specialist who helps people who have been advised they are unsuitable for laser surgery, Dr Stubbs is also committed to demonstrating that age, corneal distortion or astigmatism are no barriers to eliminating the need for glasses.

One of my best moments was treating a 12-year-old girl who was struggling at school because of poor vision due to congenital cataracts even with the use of thick glasses. Now 10 years later, she still has 20/20 vision without glasses. That inspires me. “Seeing my patients’ bright smiles after surgery, as they stop squinting and can read without glasses, is deďŹ nitely the best part of my job.â€?

No referral is needed and no out-of-pocket expenses are incurred for an assessment to enable all options available to be considered.
