The editor’s desk

Gritty King Street is an unlikely early stomping ground for a man who could pass as a modern version of Errol Flynn. But for dashing actor Rodger Corser – one of our finest television talents – appearing in pub bands on that city strip was his first taste of the spotlight. That translated into treading the boards and, decades on, Corser is the star of the popular Doctor Doctor on Channel 9; 1.2 million tune in to watch him play a gifted but scallywag heart surgeon.

Writer Luke Dennehy met Corser and discovered his strong connection to Melbourne, and the unforgettable characters of his youth. ●

DOM A IN REV IEW

I

n 1997, actor Rodger Corser had what he calls an old-fashioned, sliding-doors moment.

Now 45, Corser was working at Melbourne’s Crown Casino in the audiovisual department, contracted to Steve Vizard’s Artist Services company. His job was to do anything and everything, including following Crown’s character Mr Pokie around, filming excited punters when a car was won or a huge jackpot went off.

He was also fronting a number of pub and original bands, playing all over Melbourne including on Brunswick Street in Fitzroy, and King Street in the city.

“I used to sneak out on the overnight shifts – sorry Steve,” he says. “I was playing in bands and if I had a gig on, I would literally take my pair of trousers and my shirt off, and take off and take the mobile phone with me.”

After doing a media studies degree at Deakin University’s Rusden campus, Corser initially

Rather than studying his craft at NIDA or WAAPA, as many Australian actors do, Corser learnt on the job. “I literally did my apprenticeship on screen,” he says. “I avoid watching myself from those early days, as that’s how I learnt. I was bad and you make lots of mistakes.”

Twenty years since the groundbreaking musical, Corser is one of Australia’s most recognised and popular actors. He’s had lead roles on Underbelly, McLeod’s Daughters, Water Rats and Rush, and most recently, as Dr Hugh Knight in Channel 9’s Doctor Doctor Doctor.

Series three of Doctor Doctor has just finished filming in the NSW town of Mudgee, and is now on air – the show is by far the most watched drama on Australian television. This season, Doctor Doctor is reaching a national average audience of 1.2 million.

The role – and the cast – is an actor’s dream come true, according to Corser.

“When we go to Mudgee we are away from our

“I think they tried to ask me for ID, but I walked into the pub with a guitar, so they let me in.”

Whenever he comes back to Melbourne, and perhaps whenever he drives up and down King Street, Corser is reminded of Underbelly.

He played Detective Senior Sergeant Steve Owen, the cop trying to bring down gangland identity Carl Williams in 2008’s successful Channel 9 series.

Hanging out in the band and club scene in King Street in the late 1990s, it was inevitable Corser knew some of the characters the series was about.

But just exactly who those characters are, he is keeping to himself. “I had met a couple of those guys but I didn’t know what they did back then,” Corser says. “I went to Sydney in the early 2000s when it was all happening. When I came back to film Underbelly, I bumped into some of the guys who I knew back in the day.

“We all thought it was very ironic that I was playing a copper as well.”

“I ended up getting the role and I think that was very, very lucky. If it wasn’t for that show I could

have been in another industry; it would have been very different.” RODGER CORSER ON HIS EARLY CAREER thought a career behind the camera was where he would end up.

Then while working at the casino, he attended an open casting call for the musical Rent, at the insistence of one of his colleagues, which was being held at the Prince of Wales in St Kilda.

“They didn’t want the usual suspects,” Corser says.

“I definitely wasn’t perfect, I think that they auditioned me about eight times to make sure I was right.

“I ended up getting the role and I think that was very, very lucky. If it wasn’t for that show I could have been in another industry; it would have been very different. It was a real sliding-doors moment.”

The American producers saw something special in Corser that day, and he has never looked back.

Rent was more than just a musical for Corser. He formed a relationship with singer Christine Anu, who was also starring in the show; they have a daughter, Zipporah, 15.

He is now married to Renae Berry and living in Sydney; they have three children – Budd, 8, Cilla, 6, and Dustin, three.

families for 10 days, so we are in the pub every night having dinner,” he says.

“Everyone talks work, debriefs, has a few wines and then we get to know about everyone’s lives and families. It’s a really warm set, it’s a bit like being on school camp for the cast. We get really close, really quickly.”

We are catching up for this interview over a coffee in Melbourne; three days earlier, the 2018 Gold Logie nominee played in his first Australian Rules grand final, winning the flag with Sydney’s St George in the masters competition.

Afterwards, he sat on the hill with his family and teammates and had some beers; a great moment, Corser recalls. “It was awesome, and I kicked a couple of goals.”

Growing up in Melbourne, Corser went to East Doncaster High and played cricket at a high level until he was 25. He has a strong connection to the East Doncaster area; it was only last year that his family home was sold.

He played his first gig in a band in a Melbourne pub when he was underage.

Ph o t o

The US may beckon for the Corser family; he once had a holding deal with the powerful American television network, ABC. They literally paid him to do nothing, while they searched for the perfect role. He nearly took part in an American pilot version of Offspring Offspring, but the timing wasn’t right.

Now his kids are a bit older, he is open to going to the US pilot season in February next year with his family, and seeing what happens. In the meantime, his next local role is in the ABC series Glitch, for which he has to lose up to eight kilos.

And now that the third series of Doctor Doctor has been filmed, Corser will return for a while to being a family man, which he loves.

“It’s definitely my turn. My wife is studying kinesiology and some other therapies, and she has been juggling the kids and that while I’ve been away.

“I’ll get back into the trenches so to speak and start making the school lunches and taking them to swimming, so Renae can do her studies.

“I’ve got to catch up on some of the school dropoff and pick-ups.” ●

A moving outback memoir T H E R E VI E W

T

here’s always a degree of scepticism when picking up the memoirs of somebody who has barely turned 30, but Rick Morton’s life has been anything but ordinary. One Hundred Years of Dirt tells the sad and often brutal story of Morton’s upbringing in the Queensland outback, followed by years in abject urban poverty.

Morton’s grandfather, George Morton, owned a cattle station the size of Belgium and was a “total bastard” of a man. He abused his seven kids, particularly Morton’s father Rodney, who, in turn, inflicted tremendous pain on his family. “Ours is a trauma passed on from one generation to another,” laments Morton as he chronicles in appalling detail the breakdown of his parents’ marriage; a horrific accident that nearly killed his brother Toby, who later became a drug addict; and his grim teenage

years in a housing commission property with his long-suffering but loving mum, Deb. Morton opens up about his own drug abuse and the mental health problems that triggered suicide attempts. He writes movingly about the stress of coming out as gay and his fear of family rejection.

Morton, a journalist with The Australian, buttresses his story with studies into the effect of poverty on the brain, and how low-income families are more prone to dysfunction and violence. He rails against

Is it formulaic? Yeah, maybe, but it’s a super luxe formula and, despite Bentwood’s schmick-ness, it has a lot of soul.

Downers: there’s no wifi, pricing is in the upper echelon, and at this stage, it’s not licenced, but there’s one in the works.

Apart from these quibbles, experience and a big budget have given Bentwood a flying start as Fitzroy’s new benchmark cafe.

Or, head to old town Castello, and meander through its narrow streets in the cool of the evening. Up here you get the best view of the city and you won’t find a better spot for aperitivo hour. ●

While it’s a no-brainer for the Sardinian tourist office to spruik its beautiful beaches, the interior of the island – with its jaw-dropping array of ruins, ancient and, perhaps more intriguingly, contemporary – is a neglected part of this place.

The hundreds of abandoned mines and villages are breathtaking. Taking a fortnight to wind your way around the sheer granite hills to investigate places such as Ingurtosu and Montevecchio on the west coast, as well Nebida and Masua further along the stunning Costa Verde, is the perfect way to dig into the life and history of the island.

If 20th-century abandoned buildings are too modern for you, head to Barumini, about 90 minutes’ drive from Cagliari, and immerse yourself in the ruins of the Nuraghic people. Their monolithic Nuraghes – stone fortresses and villages – of which there are some 7000 on the island, date from the 12th century BC. Amazing. ●

7/8 LEARNING CENTRE , MLC SPECIAL PROMOTION

C

onstruction has started on a new state-ofthe-art learning centre for the year 7 and 8 students at Methodist Ladies’ College (MLC) in Kew. When completed in mid-2019, the new centre will offer 24 configurable spaces for the college’s year 7 and year 8 students, with additional extended flexible learning spaces, creativity studios including the latest media production technologies; and a multi-purpose rooftop garden with outdoor teaching space.

The project is the first stage of MLC’s masterplan for its Barkers Road campus, and is one of the college’s most significant projects in recent years.

MLC principal Diana Vernon says the design of the 7/8 Learning Centre by leading education architects McIldowie Partners was informed by MLC’s innovative approach to learning and teaching.

“The architects have translated our current and planned approaches to teaching and learning across the curriculum within the centre’s design,” Vernon says.

“We also engaged with the University of Melbourne on the latest educational design research which identifies how the built environment significantly impacts the way students learn, and the outcomes they are able to achieve.

“Importantly, we consulted with students throughout the process and observed student learning patterns, styles and preferences.”

Trials have been conducted within MLC’s current year 8 building to assess the impact of various features, fixtures and technologies on learning.

The scale of the learning spaces and break-out areas were specifically designed to support student learning, aligned with their wellbeing.

The centre will be a new “home” for year 7 and 8 students, who are currently based in separate buildings.

“Being together in the one building will strengthen that sense of community and belonging for students transitioning to secondary school,” Vernon says.

“This new centre provides contemporary spaces to enable 21st-century learning and further cements MLC’s leadership as an innovator in education.” ●

S TAT E - O F -T H E -A R T C E N T R E

OUTDOOR SPACES The project has created the opportunity to concurrently redevelop a central plaza and garden area in the heart of MLC’s Kew campus. The space, to be reopened fully later this year, will become a focal point for the entire college community, and includes an outdoor amphitheatre, an abundance of shared seating, and terraced grass areas. The new centre’s development has also allowed for a full resurface of MLC’s multi-sports oval. ●

hen her older sister started school, Dr Deborah Priest was three. Eager to learn, she wanted to go to school, too. “My mother realised ballet classes weren’t going to be the answer and found a nursery kindy that would take me and so I started school, too!” she laughs.

It was the start of an enduring love of learning that has led Priest to become principal of Ivanhoe Girls’ Grammar School at the beginning of this year.

Born in England, Priest migrated to Tasmania with her family before settling in Melbourne. She graduated from Sunbury High School and completed a bachelor of science education, majoring in mathematics and physics, at the University of Melbourne. “I had an amazing mathematics teacher at school, Gary Hollingsworth, who was passionate and inspiring,” says Priest.

“He told me I had an ability for mathematics and it would be a great thing if I considered teaching.”

Three years in to her degree, designed to address a shortage of science and mathematics teachers, Priest became a relief teacher while she finished her studies. Her first job was at a technical school in a working-class Melbourne suburb.

After this initial, challenging time in the classroom, Priest moved to Adelaide and worked with a computer company before, at the age of 23, joining a private girls’ school and becoming head of computer studies.

“That school reinvigorated my passion and optimism for teaching,” she says.

Priest also lectured in technology subjects at tertiary level before taking a seven-and-a-half-year break to raise two daughters. Priest completed a masters of education (management and leadership) and later a doctor of philosophy. When her daughters commenced school, she returned to the classroom and took on senior roles at an independent school on the Gold Coast. Shortly afterwards, Bond University invited her to help create an education course for career change students who wanted to become teachers.

Working with young people drew Priest back and she took on leading roles at independent girls’ schools in Queensland before deciding to gather international experience. In 2014, Priest became principal of the Australian International School in Malaysia.

D E B O R A H PR I E S T

“That experience brought awareness of the different lenses families bring to education,” she says. “Some families are keen on a broad holistic education and see pastoral care, participation in sport, music and service to the community as important as academic outcomes.

“Other families view academic performance as a primary goal and want the school to provide a pathway to a select range of careers.”

During her interview for the role of principal at Ivanhoe Girls’, Priest brought a box containing artefacts that reflected her approach to education, including a small compass.

“I see my job as ensuring each one of our girls leaves our school with their unique life compass,” Priest says.

“I want them to be equipped with skills and confidence to know who they are, what they believe

in and what they want to do in the next few years – because it will change during their career.”

Priest is overseeing a new strategic plan and is building on the foundations of her predecessors to ensure students receive “an education worth having”. “Since I commenced, each day has brought enormous joy and satisfaction in seeing our wonderful students explore every opportunity available to them in their learning and the optimism they have shared with me about their futures,” she says.

“In the real world, you must be prepared to try things and fail because failing is an important life skill.

Bonding with nature works wonders for the soul. Though this house was designed and built by the owners in empathy with its native garden and bushland surrounds, life on the property has surprised them with extra gifts of natural connection. From watching the two resident wallabies grow from joeys to adulthood, to admiring the birdlife and camping under stars in the backyard, you could say they’ve feasted on soul food.

The build was completed in 2007, intended to be their forever home. An architect was employed in the planning stages, and no expense spared in construction. But as they’ve decided to scratch their itch to create another residential masterpiece, this one is now up for grabs.

Take the dirt track off the main road to the approximately 5819-square-metre block. A majestic vision under an asymmetrical butterfly roof, the house is angled to maximize solar advantages. While the exterior is unabashedly arresting, the interior opts for understated modernity, with glass walls and huge picture windows.

Ground level greets with an entrance deck that’s more like an outdoor lounge. The front door opens to amalgamated kitchen and dining areas. Step left from the dining area to the sunken living area, and right to two bedrooms, including the main.

Glass sliders link the dining area with the entrance deck.

Another set opens to the rear entertainment deck. Leave them both open and air flows right through the core.

Shades of grey mix it up in the stone and stainless-steel kitchen. The lounge swaps polished timber floors for soft

deck doubles as viewing platform. The lower level of two bedrooms, bathroom, laundry and family room has earned its stripes as a children’s retreat.

This updated 1930s house in Mount Eagle Estate enjoys green views from both storeys and a roof deck. Dormer windows grace the white brick facade, and the interior celebrates French Provincial styling. Four large living areas on ground level provide personal space. While they’re all inviting, the lounge delights with a fireplace, window seat, multi-paned windows and a modern chandelier hung from its lofty ceiling. Several glass doors link indoors and out. The stone terrace is up for entertaining, and the leafy, private and established gardens give a good indication of decades of treasured living, with the owners departing reluctantly after 34 years. � KAY KEIGHERY Agent: Marshall White, Davide Lettieri 0414 018 707 Price: $2.75 million-$3.025 million Auction: 6.30pm, September 13

Christmas Function Frank and Helen Ciccone have been in business for 22 years.

They first opened their doors at Hair By Ciccone in 1996.

While they have an extraordinary list of celebrity clientele, Frank is keen to stress that the family-run salon is the main business, and their motto is that they service the first cut to the last.

12398377-SN37-18

When not primping stars for the ARIAS and other galas, Frank and Helen are always in their salon, treating each customer as if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the latest rock star to walk through the doors.

We have people of all ages come in here for our services.

We have the best team ever!
