FIRST PERSON

“ I am Max Monk ” … a park ranger and team leader for Parks Victoria I’ve always been passionate about preserving the environment. Even as a teenager, I was interested in a career in the industry – whether as an environmental lawyer, scientist, urban planner or park ranger. To help me get there, I studied a bachelor of environmental science, with a major and honours in marine biology.

Once I completed university, I landed a summer seasonal ranger position with Parks Victoria.

Generally speaking, park rangers have a critical role in protecting 4.1 million hectares of land in the state and around 70 per cent of its coastline.

I have worked for Parks Victoria for four years, and I’m now a ranger team leader. My team is responsible for the upkeep and health of the Lower Yarra and Maribyrnong rivers.

We work to ensure that the waterways are clear and safe from navigational hazards, which can be anything from shopping trolleys to trees and cars.

We work alongside Melbourne Water, the Environmental Protection Authority, local councils and the Water Police to tackle a range of issues that affect our waterways.

An important part of our role is to manage the litter traps on the Yarra and the Maribyrnong.

The traps need to be emptied weekly, and form a valuable part of preserving the river’s ecosystem and stop litter from entering our ports and oceans.

We also manage a number of waterway-related assets, like places for vessels to berth, wharves and landings that provide recreational opportunities.

One thing I love about the role is that in the morning we might be towing in some trees to stop them causing damage to vessels, and in the afternoon we could be maintaining sculptures in the Herring Island Environmental Sculpture Park.

Or I might be liaising with another organisation to improve and innovate our litter set-up so that we can catch more of Melbourne’s litter. My work also includes maintaining parklands and providing visitors with safe and positive experiences.

The biggest challenge for me, but also a big part of why I love my job, is that no two days are the same.

Of course, there are times when we’re out at midnight and getting soaked. We all love that, though. If we’re caught out in it, I think it’s a great excuse to be fully immersed in nature. ●

COVER STORY

Media executive Helen McCabe found inspiration in the past when launching the Future Women network.

I

n October 2018 in a Sydney hotel function room, 300 people gathered to hear former Liberal deputy leader Julie Bishop talk about leadership, feminism and women in the workplace.

Watching over proceedings was Helen McCabe, a former editor-inchief of the Australian Women’s Weekly and digital content director at Nine. A few months earlier, McCabe had launched Future Women, a bold subscription platform which offers events, workshops, mentoring, and a news website for women who want to grow professionally. This event was the first high-profile test.

As founder and chief executive, McCabe was nervous. What if the event was a flop? What if Bishop – a former federal minister bruised by the leadership spill that had rocked Canberra only a few weeks earlier – declined to discuss sensitive topics and left the audience unsatisfied and disappointed?

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned and Bishop felt comfortable enough among the Future Women cohort to open up. The result, McCabe says, was a night to remember. And it was the moment she knew Future Women was a viable business. The occasion with Bishop was key for the new media company – it had also proven itself as a clever events organiser.

As its website explains, Future Women is “a new home for women to come together online and in person.

Our mission is the advancement of women through meaningful events and connections.”

McCabe, a former journalist who spent many years covering politics and business for News Corp and The Australian, suspected Bishop’s speech would make headlines. It did.

It also confirmed McCabe’s belief there is a hunger in the marketplace for a platform that focuses on women

and the news and issues that affected their lives. Wealth, wellness, leadership and luxury – McCabe says these are the pillars around which she built her business model.

The concept, she says, started growing shoots in 2016 then gained momentum after the Women’s Marches in the US and the increasing urgency of #metoo.

McCabe found inspiration in the past. “I wanted to do something that was very much a rethinking of the same principles and ideals the Packer family had when they first launched the Women’s Weekly as a weekly print magazine 80 years ago,” she says. “If you were starting again with that kind of brand in this current environment, what would it look like? Future Women is it.”

Giving women an opportunity to meet one another was also vital to Future Women’s growth. There are too few opportunities these days, McCabe says, for women to network, make friends, and share experiences.

“In a previous decade you would have had the tuckshop, the tennis club, mothers’ groups, political parties, church groups, card clubs, the cup-of-tea-over-the-back-fence cliche – those were the ways women met. There are plenty of examples – in literature, too – that female friendships are the ones that pull you through life.”

After boarding school in Adelaide then a journalism degree, McCabe moved into TV news, before working as a London correspondent, and then various executive roles at The Australian and The Sunday Telegraph. In 2009, she was offered and accepted what many would consider the best magazine job in Australia: editor-in-chief of the country’s most-read magazine.

Fast forward to her current role at Nine and the challenge of building a Future Women constituency which is loyal. Old media paradigms are no

“There are plenty of examples ... that female friendships are the ones that pull you through life.” longer relevant. For example, when I ask McCabe what is FW’s core demographic, she says she prefers not to talk about age “as I don’t find it particularly useful. Our motto is ‘attitude not age’.”

McCabe’s goal is to host events where 25-year-olds and 55-year-olds are comfortably sharing information and networks. They have a lot to gain, she says, “by being a part of the same club”.

“It’s not a new thing, but I see younger women really inspired by Julie Bishop, Michelle Obama, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Helen Mirren or Michelle Simmons. And at our Future Women Social Clubs, I see it all the time.’’ ● ● futurewomen.com Read the full interview with Helen on domain.com.au/domain-review

LIVEABLE MELBOURNE

elburnians are enamoured, besotted, and obsessed with coffee. And because cafes are the place to get that bitter-yet-sweet black nectar, we’re obsessed with those too.

Cafe culture makes a place more liveable, according to the latest Domain Liveable Melbourne study by Deloitte Access Economics and Tract Consultants. It’s one of those things that adds to the amenity, goes hand in hand with an area’s walkability and helps develop the community.

The study measured the distance to cafes from the centre of any given suburb and number of cafe jobs available in Melbourne’s 307 suburbs as a way of seeing which had the most lively cafe scene.

The tiny inner-city enclave of Cremorne, wedged between Richmond and South Yarra, took the top spot.

“For me, it’s the coolest part of Melbourne,” says Wani Sak, the owner of 1983 Espresso and Panini Bar on Cremorne Street.

She and her fiancee Melinda Aloisio opened the

cafe in 2012, and then six years later took over the space two doors down for the restaurant and bar Ms Frankie. Cremorne beat out Melbourne CBD, Southbank and South Melbourne as the prime spot for cafes, with those suburbs ranking second, third and fourth, respectively.

While the study did not measure the quality of cafes in any given suburb, one of its authors, Adam Terrill from Tract Consultants, says looking at the number of them gave a good understanding of where cafe culture was at its highest.

“The provision of cafes in any given suburb provides a local amenity for residents that can be enjoyed – and the quality of cafes across Melbourne is generally pretty good no matter where you go,” Mr Terrill says.

The once-industrial locale of Cremorne has gone through a resurgence over the past five or so years.

Even back then, most people didn’t know where it was, Ms Sak says. “Cremorne was pretty dingy back in the day, there’s stories of drug lords and all sorts of dark, crazy stuff,” she says. “Now it’s changed so much – it’s typical, off-the-beaten-track kind of Melbourne with really cool little pokey laneways.”

Creative, fashion, tech and media companies have taken over the once-empty industrial buildings, earning the area the nicknames “Silicon Yarra” and “Silicon Richmond”.

Reece plumbing plans to move its headquarters to the old Rosella factory, while new residential development The Malt District, which will also house the new MYOB headquarters, is being built under the Nylex sign.

Ms Sak has seen it all evolve, much to her surprise and delight. “It felt like it was going to be something pretty cool,” she says. “But there’s no way I imagined it would become what it has become.”

Wani Sak, the owner of Cremorne’s 1983 Espresso and

With businesses of course come people, and with people – you guessed it – cafes. It’s a $2.2 billion industry in Victoria, and coffee alone is about 10 per cent of our discretionary spend, University of Melbourne marketing professor Simon Bell says.

“It goes to the heart of what our identity is,” Professor Bell says.

“There are some aspects of our coffee culture that’s really ahead of the world – Melbourne International Coffee Expo, which attracts the world’s best in specialty coffee; the sheer number of micro roasters that we have in Melbourne, for example.” It’s even started to influence how the rest of the world does coffee and brunch.

“Aussie cafe culture is finding a foothold in the US – the flat white, the smashed avocado – those are the sort of things that have become associated with an Australian-style cafe.”

For Ms Sak, the growth of Cremorne as a cafe hub has led to a burgeoning nightlife scene as well.

“It’s becoming more of an understood location,” she says. “It’s a little sub-city on the fringe.” ●

Endless laughs Myf Warhurst: from Mildura girl to Spicks and Specks’ professional music buff.

hen Australia’s favourite music quiz show Spicks and Specks took the needle off the record back in 2011, nobody had expected it to survive the six years that it did on ABC television.

The show hosted by Adam Hills had proved itself past the difficult second album career phase and gave Aussie musicians a chance to shine beyond radio playlists.

“We got out while the going was good,” says ABC radio presenter Myf Warhurst, who made a name for herself as the darling of Triple J radio, and is an occasional guest panellist on The Project and co-hosts SBS’s Eurovision coverage.

Warhurst and her fellow team captain Alan Brough entertained with their biting music and pop culture knowledge – and their love of niche musical facts too.

A rotating line-up of local and international celebrity guests added to the charm of the format. Everyone from Meat Loaf to Tim Minchin, the late Sharon Jones, of Dap Kings fame, Guy Pearce and Tina Arena all shared the spotlight.

A Spicks and Specks reunion special which aired last year broke ABC viewing records, with 1.13 million tuning in. It proves local content is in demand.

“Coming together for the reunion was like nothing had ever changed,” Warhurst says. “It’s like we had slipped back into a cosy old armchair and the magic was still there between us all. There was always the worry of mucking up the legacy if we came back, but that didn’t happen.”

Melbourne, dabbled in print journalism and edited street mag InPress before moving into radio.

“I never really had a career plan,” Warhurst says. “I just went with the opportunities as they presented themselves, and I still do.”

She recalls her mother telling her to record the first episode of Spicks and Specks onto VHS tape for a keepsake should she need proof.

“I don’t think anybody really had any idea how long the show would actually go for,” Warhurst says.

A love of Dolly Parton, a weak spot for anything leopard print and devotion to her cat Steve has allowed her fans to feel a part of her world.

What you see is what you get, too – a heart-on-sleeve personality who is as approachable as she is lovable.

And when she’s not launching books for friends (most recently Clare Bowditch’s autobiography), she is recording her podcast Bang On! with friend Zane Rowe talking music news and pop culture.

Warhurst, 46, was born in Portland, Victoria, and moved to Red Cliffs, near Mildura, when she was eight. She grew up with three older brothers and their mighty vinyl collection. Warhust learnt the piano as a child, her brother Kit was in the Melbourne rock band Rocket Science, and her hankering for pop

“It was a bit of a shock it took off so quickly. In media, you never really know how long things will last. I feel super blessed I got to work with some amazing people.”

Spicks and Specks will return for one show this month during Aus Music Month, and another three episodes will screen in February.

“I remember being a kid searching for my music identity and having a thirst for knowledge but there wasn’t much around, you had to find it.

“I wanted to be part of that somehow and I eventually found it.

Fast forward all these years and I never take my place in media for granted and am grateful for all the opportunities.” ● SPICKS AND SPECKS SPECIAL \ November 24, 7.40pm on ABC TV

f, like many Melburnians, you get hay fever during spring, you are at risk of suddenly developing asthma during a thunderstorm.

November is peak season for thunderstorm asthma in Melbourne.

Doctors Ron Sultana and Michael Sutherland at the Epworth Hospital in Richmond say if you suffer from spring hay fever you are at risk during thunderstorms, even if you have never reported asthma symptoms before.

Spring thunderstorms can burst pollen grains into minute pieces that can be breathed deep into our lungs and trigger asthma.

When Melbourne experienced the world’s worst recorded epidemic of thunderstorm asthma on November 21, 2016, thousands of people suddenly found they were struggling for breath and 10 people died.

Epworth Richmond director of emergency

medicine Dr Sultana was one of the many doctors urgently called in to treat crowds presenting at hospital emergency departments across Melbourne.

He says the 2016 epidemic was particularly bad because it occurred when people were leaving work and exposed to the pollen.

“Half of the people in the 2016 epidemic could not recall having asthma before and others were caught out and didn’t have an asthma reliever with them. People arrived very perplexed at why they were suddenly so short of breath and wheezing and coughing.”

Respiratory physician Dr Sutherland says it is important during a thunderstorm to stay inside and avoid exposure.

People at risk should use an asthma preventer if they have one and carry an asthma puffer to relieve chest tightness, shortness of breath, coughing or wheezing.

“If you suffer from hay fever in spring, particularly from rye grass, make sure you are using your medication throughout spring and see your GP for an asthma check and an emergency plan,” Dr Sutherland says.

t’s that time of year again. Spring racing, Friday night drinks, work Christmas parties, end-ofyear functions, annual catch-ups ... the silly season is alive and well.

I honestly feel that the message at this time of year should be refreshingly honest and realistic and we should aim to break even rather than set unrealistic goals that deep down we know probably aren’t going to happen. The key is balance. So here are my top tips on how you can take part in the Christmas Maintain Campaign:

SAM WOOD \ FITNESS

PRACTICE PROGRESS, NOT PERFECTION \ Too

many people think that if they aren’t going to be able to be a 10/10 in their training or with nutrition over this period, then they may as well throw in the towel. This is why the 28 motto is and always will be progress, not perfection. You are far better off aiming to be an 8/10 in both as this is far more realistic, achievable and therefore sustainable.

SEIZE EVERY OPPORTUNITY, NO MATTER HOW SMALL \ Something is always better than

nothing. If you can only squeeze in a 10 or 15-minute workout, do it. If you can’t stick to your usual five workouts a week, aim for three. Just move your body however you can, when you can.

It gets hot, things get in the way, you run out of time ... things always seem to pop up in the afternoon/ evening that make your workout fall down the priority list. This is far less likely to happen if your workout is scheduled early in the morning. Getting your workout done early means you can enjoy the day head, satisfied that you’ve already ticked one thing off your to-do list.

SIP SMARTER \ Even if you stick to your normal

eating and training routine, you can undo all of your hard work by not taking into consideration how much alcohol you are consuming.

ISTOCK

GET YOUR WORKOUT DONE IN THE MORNING \

Smarter this silly season

INCIDENTAL EXERCISE IS YOUR FRIEND \ At a

time of year when I know I’m probably going to be eating and drinking a little more than usual, I try to move more too, and make a conscious effort to add more incidental exercise into my day. I might park five minutes from the office, take the stairs as opposed to the lift or walk around the block in my lunch break. Small changes, big results. ● ● 28bysamwood.com

Look, Edwardian houses are generally lovely but they can suffer from one small problem – they occasionally feel a bit claustrophobic, a bit closed in. That’s one reason why so many of them have been renovated to let some light and space in through the back.

Yes, as all potential home buyers will undoubtedly have witnessed first-hand, the renovated Edwardian is quite a popular style of house. But it’s popular for a reason, with families often gaining the best of both worlds: individual privacy and space in the more intimate aspects of the house, and room to hang out together in the more spacious family zones. Combine a room of one’s own with a little breathing space and you have the ideal family house.

There’s even more space at 2 Glanfield Street thanks to this house’s backyard, with a covered entertainment deck and landscaped garden beckoning residents outdoors. The living room overlooks this area and flows nicely into the dining room and kitchen, with the lovely, granite bench-top kitchen island helping define this space.

Two of the house’s four bedrooms run alongside all of that, and they’re separated from each other by the laundry, a bathroom and powder room. Head into the front of the house for those enviable period details and the main bedroom, which overlooks the front verandah. The main bedroom has its own walk-in wardrobe and the en suite comes with spa bath.

The other bedroom at this end of the house has an open fire-place, with the front of the house hosting a separate sitting room. This could also function as a bedroom should
