French Open champion Ash Barty inspires superlatives and yet it doesn’t seem right to heap saccharine comments on a young woman who is so humble and down to earth. That comes across in her feature interview this week. She spoke to journalist Josh Bozin ahead of the 2020 Australian Open (which kicks off on January 20, with coverage on Nine), while launching a special watch that commemorates her record-breaking achievements this season. She is world No.1 but concedes the competition for her crown is intense, and this will make for compelling contests at Melbourne Park. ●

Q

ueen of the court; the world’s No.1 ranked female tennis player. French Open champion Ash Barty has put her name in the history books of both tennis and wider Australian sport.

From afar, it would seem that the 23-year-old from Ipswich, Queensland isn’t all that fazed by the prestigious accolades, record amount of prize money (no player – not even Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal or Serena Williams – has ever received such riches from a single tournament as Barty did from her win in Shenzhen, China) or the global fame her achievements have since afforded her.

From the title win at the Miami Open in March to her unforgettable triumph – and a maiden grand slam event title – at the French Open in June, Barty’s coveted WTA world No.1 slot was the icing on the cake, ending the year on an all-time high.

In doing so, she has become the first Australian woman to hold the No.1 rank at the end of a season, on top of being the first Australian woman to reach No.1 since Evonne Goolagong Cawley in 1976.

As versatile as Barty is on court – she is an allcourt player, trading shots on grass, clay and hardcourts with ease – off the court, she is just as impressive, juggling many different hats throughout the year. She works closely with Tennis Australia as the national Indigenous tennis ambassador, a role which she is extremely proud of as an Indigenous woman, and also recently launched the national campaign #PlayForYou, which encourages young girls to stay in sport.

Barty is also a Rado YoungStars ambassador. It’s this partnership with the Swiss watchmaker that has afforded her the luxury of creating her own timepiece: the limited edition Rado HyperChrome, a sentimental watch that signifies Barty’s momentous achievements in 2019.

While indifferent to the glitz and glamour that comes with her position as the world’s best tennis female player, Barty has an affinity for watches and it’s her design of the Rado HyperChrome that is most special.

“I am slightly addicted to watches, I must admit.

that every moment, move, and play, counts. And it’s no different away from the tennis world.

“I try to enjoy and appreciate every moment I have, wherever I may be in the world,” Barty says.

“My time at home with family and friends, in particular, is always precious to me; it keeps me happy. There is nothing better than spending time with them and doing the simple things like taking my dogs for a walk or playing golf with my boyfriend; I’m a real homebody.”

It’s Barty’s penchant for the simple things in life or, perhaps, her perspective that is the key to her success. Regarded as a junior prodigy in her early teens, she learnt the hardships of being in the public eye at a very young age.

As a result, in 2016, Barty took a two-year break to experience life as a normal teenage girl, almost giving up tennis for good.

“Keeping things in perspective is something I have definitely got better at,” she says.

“There will always be good days and bad days but I have learnt that even if I have a tough match or a

“My coach Craig Tyzzer and I definitely need to work harder than ever to prepare for matches ... as the women’s game is so competitive.”

So when Rado asked me if I would like to collaborate on a special timepiece, I jumped at the opportunity,” Barty says.

“I really enjoyed working on the design and helping the team create this beautiful piece that I can literally wear anywhere. I feel so honoured that Rado created this with me and I will treasure it forever.”

B

arty’s watch design has a 36-millimetre mother-of-pearl dial, presented in white high-tech ceramic with silver coloured detailing and a bezel set with 60 diamonds. A special engraving on the case back reveals Barty’s signature coupled with the inscription “Limited Edition. One of 123”. The numerals represent her reaching the No.1 ranking in the world at the age of 23.

“Not only is she an incredible athlete and a great role model, but Ash is a fantastic representative of Rado and our values,” Rado chief executive Matthias Breschan says. “This limited edition watch was the best way we could think of to mark her incredible year to remember.”

On the matter of time, Barty seems to be making the most of this precious commodity; she knows

disappointing result, it’s going to be OK at the end of the day.

“Regardless of what happens in a tennis match, I have an incredible family and friends who I love and who love me no matter what. That is the most important thing.

“I try and set the right example on and off the court and live by the values my parents taught me: to be a good person, respect yourself and your opponent, and to have fun.

“If my story inspires even one young boy or girl to follow their dreams then I am very proud of that.”

Australian fans of Barty can buy her watch, which was launched in Melbourne last week.

From December 3, the Rado HyperChrome Ashleigh Barty Limited Edition is available to order and buy from Rado retailers as well as online.

Barty is in action again on home soil next year at the Adelaide International from January 12 to 18, where Rado is the official timekeeper.

She will then contest the Australian Open, after reaching the quarter-finals last year, as the top seed in the women’s draw (January 20 to February 2 at Melbourne Park). ● ● rado.com

And last week Barty won her third straight Newcombe Medal as Australia’s most outstanding tennis player of 2019. “It feels great to be in the position that I’m in,” Barty tells Domain Review.

“I am so proud of what my team and I have achieved this year; we’ve worked so hard so it’s rewarding to see the effort paying off. Now I get to enjoy some holiday time, which is giving me the chance to relax and reflect on the incredible year my team and I have had.”

Barty remains ever so humble, bashful even; she’s content with the result of her year but yearning for more come in 2020. While all eyes are on the world No.1, Barty says the only pressure she feels going into the new year is the pressure she puts on herself.

“My team and I go about our training and preparation exactly the same way, regardless of the tournament or the match,” she says.

“That routine keeps me focused. My coach Craig Tyzzer and I definitely need to work harder than ever to prepare for matches and make sure we have a solid game plan, as the women’s game is so competitive at the moment.

“But I’m hopeful for another consistent year with some great results, starting at home at the Australian Open in January ... I can’t wait.”

“Christmas wouldn’t be the same without ‘Carols By Candlelight’ in my life, and my family’s life.” in a gown that could easily grace the Logies red carpet. With the orchestra and choir present as well at the Bowl, it can be chaotic.

But one thing is for sure, despite the hubbub, every performer carries a smile and is happily donating his or her own time to raise funds on the night for Vision Australia.

Part of that backstage crew for a long time now have been husbands Anthony Callea, who has been performing at Carols for 16 years, and Tim Campbell, who has been on the stage for 11 years.

“That’s part of the fun of Carols to be honest, the whole backstage antics, there is so much going on,” Campbell says.

“It’s like a massive yearly catch-up for all of us, because throughout the year we don’t even see each other and you pick up from where you left off.”

TIM CAMPBELL

The event has well and truly become part of their Christmas tradition.

“Christmas wouldn’t be the same without Carols

By Candlelight in my life, and my family’s life,” Campbell says.

The couple love the vibe so much that after singing at Carols, they always invite some of the cast and crew back to their house for post-concert drinks. On one occasion, Casey Donovan was the last to leave well into the early morning, around the time Santa was due to arrive.

This year Campbell will once again be performing in the children’s portion of the show while Callea will sing a couple of numbers.

“The kids’ section is a great part to be involved in,” Campbell says. “Christie Whelan Browne is doing it too this year which is going to be lots of

fun.” After the build-up to Carols, performing on the night and the famous Campbell-Callea postevent drinks at home, the boys are exhausted when Christmas Day arrives.

“We warm up some party pies, and we sit there and stuff our face until we realise we should actually have a shower and get ready to go and see a few people on Christmas Day,” Campbell says.

For the couple, it is an honour to be invited back to perform year after year.

‘It’s such an iconic show,” Campbell says.

“Not only in Victoria, but across the country.

“To be involved in that, and involved for this long, it’s certainly something we don’t take for granted every year.” ● ● carols.visionaustralia.org

I

have often wondered why Snugglepot and Cuddlepie, the two gumnut baby heroes of May Gibbs’ children’s books, never successfully cracked the international marketplace and became literary superstars.

London has Paddington, the talking bear from Peru. And since the mid-20th century, American children have loved Wilbur, the pig, and his unexpected best friend, Charlotte the barn spider.

What’s wrong with our bush babies?

Surely two homunculus figures modelled on eucalyptus nuts are no less believable than a bear in a red hat and blue duffle coat?

From a storytelling perspective, the gumnut babies match any of the tales by Enid Blyton or Beatrix Potter.

Despite the global fame that has eluded them, the cherubic Snugglepot and Cuddlepie have a dedicated fan club here at home. And now, for the third time in 64 years, they are the stars of the Myer Bourke Street store Christmas windows.

A couple of weeks ago the covers came off the windows, queues started to form, and Bourke Street Mall buskers were encouraged to make room for the cordoned-off pathway.

VILL AGE LIFE

Melbourne’s precious gift How a new generation discovering May Gibbs keeps her generosity alive.

Watching the generations-old tradition of moving small children to the front so they can have a perfect view, I am reminded of the many positive ways this great Melbourne tradition promotes community connection.

As parents hold up their toddlers and point out the gumnut babies, and the friendly chat begins between adults who have never met until this Myer moment, I realise some of the crowd are unfamiliar with Snugglepot and Cuddlepie.

What a great outcome if their visit to the windows encourages families to buy Gibbs’ books and share the gumnut babies tales with their clan.

A few weeks ago Gibbs’ publisher HarperCollins advised booksellers Snugglepot and Cuddlepie were the heroes of the 2019 Myer Christmas windows.

Most of us purchased extra copies of the gumnut stories for our shops and can report that there is a positive link between the windows’ publicity and Gibbs’ book sales.

A pleasing outcome for booksellers, but more significantly it is a wonderful result for those charities who benefit from Gibbs’ estate.

Gibbs, who died in Sydney in 1969, bequeathed the copyright from the designs of her bush characters and her stories to NSW’s Northcott Disability Services and the Cerebral Palsy Alliance.

(The remainder of her estate was left to the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund.)

Each year the May Gibbs Children’s Literature Trust also provides fellowships to emerging Australian writers and illustrators.

The bush babies are the focus of this year’s Myer windows, but Cecilia May Gibbs MBE is the champion. Gibbs was born in Kent in 1877 and came to Australia with her family when she was four and spent many years observing and recording the beauty of the bush.

“I used to have a little sketchbook in one pocket and a pencil in the other and go around gardening, and that’s how I got my best ideas, out in the open,” she once recalled.

Gibbs started her gumnut babies series during World War I – originally as postcards families could send to soldiers fighting in Europe. By 1918 her books were widely distributed and she had become a local literary hero.

And now, thanks to the talented team at Myer, new generations of Australians can also find the bush babies. May Gibbs would surely be smiling. ● Corrie Perkin is an award-winning journalist and former managing editor of The Age, and the owner of My Bookshop in Hawksburn.

BRUNSWICK WEST \ 28 WHITBY STREET 6

In the 19th century, Brunswick brimmed with splendid estates. Few survived the post-war building boom – but Whitby has endured.

Now this fascinating house is likely to set a record price for the suburb. Designed by John Gill and built about 1850 for merchant Edward Whitby, it’s a rare example of the Gothic Revival style with a dash of Tudor, rock solid beneath its lime render and pitched slate roof. Once part of the Whitbyfield estate, it stands in 1586 square metres with a big garden.

The current owners bought Whitby in the 1980s with a demolition order, which they ignored in favour of saving the crumbling manor.

The house and a music room, built in 1907, had been sub-divided into six self-contained flats. This configuration works well. Every flat has its own entry, and first-floor flat 5 commands the original porch, hall and staircase.

The owners put meticulous work into restoring marble fireplaces, laying hardwood and tessellated-tiled floors and render repair. Chandeliers and elaborate roses now enhance Whitby’s high ceilings. There’s potential to continue the restoration or convert Whitby back to a family home.

Enter flat 1 via a wide porch added in the 1920s. The twobedroom dwelling has a living room, off which is a small kitchen and a bathroom.

Flat 2 (two bedrooms, one bathroom) is on the north side, its living room with a fireplace and french doors to the garden. Flat 3 has one bedroom, but the living room is huge, with a bay-window entry, galley kitchen and dualentry bathroom. Flat 4 has double and single bedrooms, a
