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.

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.

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.

EDUCATION & INNOVATION
Me & My Mentor
FIONA FINCH & HELEN MOORE SPECIAL PROMOTION
I
vanhoe Girls’ Grammar School’s deputy head of junior school Helen Moore is passionate about learning – particularly about science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). She continues to help inspire young students such as Fiona Finch who is in year 5. Fiona has found her own passion for science, particularly robotics and to solve the mysteries of coding.
I think I’ve always liked STEM-related things. I like investigating things, pretty much everything that I find interesting. Anything from a leaf to my dad’s newest thingamajig. My dad’s an automation engineer so he brings things home that are really interesting. He mostly likes fixing things – the other day he fixed the dishwasher, he fixes our cars and stuff like that. I like to help him. I really love working with coding and robots. What I don’t really like is finding a problem (with them) but what I do really like is fixing the problem. Ms Moore started teaching me in year 2 with extension subjects such as maths extension. She was co-ordinating the coding club in year 3 and I joined the club and learnt about coding there. Lego Technic Club is run by her and, in Lego Technic, I build things and I’ve learnt about levers, pulleys and gears. There’s no coding with it. When I learned about the EV3 (robot) I copied the codes to drive the robots but I didn’t actually know what the codes meant in the beginning. Afterwards I understood that some code means this wheel has that much power and other code means a smiley face will appear on the screen. I do a lot of things at school – I play the flute and clarinet, do t-ball training, hurdles, choir, aerobics, band, gardening club, running club and synchronised swimming. I also do debating – I had to argue that robots should be in every home. I don’t agree with that but I was debating for the affirmative. After school I also do German school and horse riding and I’m doing cross-country skiing. I’m used to being busy. Ms Moore has taught me a lot. To problem solve, to have a balance between working and playing. She also taught me that it’s good to make mistakes so I can learn from them. I’m definitely going to keep doing science through

school. I don’t know what I’m going to do when I grow up but I want it to be STEM-related.
HELEN SAYS … This is my 19th year at Ivanhoe Girls’. When I read the school’s prospectus, I just fell in love with the school for all the extracurricular activities that were offered. I love music, musicals and all those things that this school does so well. It offered everything that I thought a balanced education was about. Like Fiona I’ve always been very curious about how the world works. So I love learning new things, I love problem solving and investigating and working things out. It goes hand-in-hand with STEM, understanding how and why things work. When I was in year 10 computers came into schools and I had to learn how to program a boat to sail across the screen. I learnt then how not to teach technology to girls because I was completely intimidated and not instructed well. I often think back to that when I’m working with students that they feel safe and supported ... to make mistakes and have the success of solving problems. In my role as deputy head of junior school I can work with any year level from prep to year 6 and I have worked with support and extension classes.
I’ve made technology my specialty because I’m quite passionate about it and I enjoy it and make the time to play with it. I coordinate the debating teams and I also run the LEGO Technic Club. I realised that students often learn about coding without understanding the basic principles of physics and how things move. Building LEGO Technic can help develop these understandings. Maths is also my passion. I’ve always loved maths even in primary school. I’ve actually worked with Fiona for four years now. This year I introduced Fiona to the EV3 robots. We needed two more robots so Fiona offered to take two kits home to build them over the weekend. She built them in less than half an hour and then she spent hours teaching herself how to code them without a computer. Back at school, she showed me how to do this too! I think Fiona’s relentless curiosity and passion for learning resonates with me. She’s a total allrounder. She does need to remember to have balance. Fiona can be very hard on herself so we’ve had a few chats about how it’s OK to make mistakes because that’s how we learn. ● MELISSA HEAGNEY
