One of the highlights of my past week was flicking through a new book by Melbourne authors Sophie Cunningham and Peter Wilmoth, Wonder: 175 Years of Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria. This beautiful coffee table book, which also includes stunning images by photographer and former Age picture editor Leigh Henningham, provides a fascinating insight into how this 38-hectare urban oasis came to be and just what it means to millions of Melburnians.

And, as Effie Mann writes, recent lockdowns have only heightened our love affair with this special place. ●

“We’ve been inside our homes for more than 200 days, and it’s made me rethink what is beauty and what feels like home to us.”

LOCKDOWN LIFE

SHE IS APHRODITE

Taking comfort COVID-19 has kept singer Clare Bowditch off the road and her ‘year off’ has thrown up surprising challenges.

Wo r d s

A

ustralian singer-songwriter, author and public speaker Clare Bowditch is leaning into the prolonged comforts of home, and while she should be on tour promoting a new album that won’t be released until next year, she’s embracing all the moods that come with lockdown life in Melbourne.

“I thought I would pump out seven albums at home, but that hasn’t happened,” says Bowditch, who did manage to knock down a wall, add wardrobes and repaint some of the rooms in her Thornbury home.

JA N E R O C CA

“I’ve been writing songs and fiddling around, but I haven’t done what I thought I would achieve if I had a year stuck at home,” she says.

“A lot of my mental space has been dealing with being at home and the reality is it’s been a very disrupted time.”

Bowditch will use her storytelling nuance to remind us why local design and creatives really matter when she hosts The Design Files Awards on October 21 – a virtual affair, alas.

“Design is so optimistic, and it is something we experience all the time

– from the way lighting falls to the way colours work together in our homes. It’s a beautiful thing,” she says.

“Right now, we can’t clap for creatives, we can’t tell them how much we appreciate what they do so this is our chance to say we need you and we love what you do.

“We’ve been inside our homes for more than 200 days, and it’s made me rethink what is beauty and what feels like home to us.”

Her world came crashing down when her mother passed away from pancreatic cancer last August, and while Bowditch culled many items from her home over the years, she welcomed with open arms some sentimental pieces that belonged to her mother.

“While grieving mum this past year, I have enjoyed bringing her signature blue and white pottery pieces into my place – colours I really associate with her in my house,” Bowditch says.

“I’ve put them together in the way she would have, so I can feel that cosy feeling she always gave me.

This year has been about learning to feel her in my home.”

Her memoir Your Own Kind of Girl still tops must-reading lists. It’s a moving expression of her struggles that led to a nervous breakdown in her early 20s and how she learned to overcome her panic attacks.

Last year she worked on Tame Your Inner Critic for Audible and yes, there are plans for another book. (She’s writing two, and doesn’t know which one will win out.)

“I had one acute episode of mental health that brought me to my knees,” Bowditch says. “I was so broken I thought I could never recover. I was lucky to have a home to go back to and be in the tender care of my parents, siblings and their friends.

“In my recovery, a book that saved my life was Self Help for Your Nerves. I learned how to deal with my anxiety back then, and I said I would write this book one day.

My next book will be something different, but the memoir was the hardest book I ever had to write.” ● THE DESIGN FILES DESIGN AWARDS \ October 21, 7pm. ● tdfdesignawards.com

For 175 years, the Botanic Gardens has been a place for first dates and devising game plans.

top any Melburnian on the street, and chances are they have a story to share about time spent at the Royal Botanic Gardens.

For 175 years, under its lush canopy of heritage trees, the community has celebrated milestones, mourned loved ones, sought solace, satisfied curiosity and enjoyed music and theatre.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re a scientist or whether you love nature, or you’re just coming to read a book, the botanic gardens can be the perfect place to do that,” says botanist Tim Entwisle, the gardens’ director and chief executive. “And sometimes, when you come to do one of those things, you end up learning or discovering something else entirely.”

A place for meeting and connecting, the 38-hectare urban sanctuary also connects two vastly different cultures.

On the land once used for hunting, fishing and ceremonies by the Boonwurrung and Wurundjeri tribes of the Kulin Nation, European settlers gained approval from Sydney in 1846 to establish the gardens in the fledgling settlement of Melbourne and started planting familiar trees and shrubs to remind them of home.

The hallowed grounds recently inspired the first lines of musician and writer Nick Cave’s first novel and were the open-air “office” of Essendon AFL great Kevin Sheedy when working on his game-day plans.

The gardens hold a different meaning and provide a unique experience for everyone, says Entwisle, and that is the key to their allure.

“Everyone sees the gardens slightly differently,” he says, “and that’s the wonderful thing about these gardens ... it’s many things to many people.”

Entwisle, who once spent his university holidays working at the gardens, took on his current role in 2013. He says botanic gardens mesh culture, nature and science in a way that no other setting can.

“That’s the wonderful thing about these gardens ... it’s many things to many people.” go, but they are public property, and so people are very invested in the gardens,” Cunningham says. “At the same time, the gardens have a very important scientific conservation history and future.”

Cunningham, an avid tree lover, says writing the book opened her eyes to the gardens’ scientific work, programs and collections – stories of the Indigenous history of the land, a banksia collected by Joseph Banks and samples of seaweed from the 1600s, among other treasures.

“People’s relationship with the gardens is the central theme of the book, but I can’t look at the gardens without thinking about trees and water and the exciting and heroic and inspiring work they’re doing to make sure that the gardens will cope with the fairly dramatic changes we can expect in the future.” ● WONDER: 175 YEARS OF ROYAL BOTANIC GARDENS VICTORIA \ Available September 29. ● rbg.vic.gov.au

PENNY STEPHENS

“You don’t get that in a park,” he reflects. “A visit to a museum gives you part of that, but not all; a gallery doesn’t give it to you either. But a botanic garden, when it’s done well, can bring it all together.”

A new book by Melbourne authors Sophie Cunningham and Peter Wilmoth, Wonder: 175 Years of Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria, marks the historic milestone, offering a glimpse into the myriad ways the gardens resonate within their community.

Told through personal reflections and anecdotes – shared by those who have tended garden beds, designed the landscapes, lived next door (in the case of the Governor, Linda Dessau) or simply visited and developed their own connection to the land – the book weaves a gentle narrative capturing the history of a much-loved Melbourne icon.

The storytellers include expert botanist Neville Walsh who shares his delight at discovering a new wattle species and imparts his wisdom about the Victorian Conservation Seedbank, which holds 45 per cent of the state’s plant species to safeguard against extinction. And Robert Field, a private collector since boyhood, whose donation of thousands of cacti revived the Arid Garden after vandals destroyed it in 2013.

We hear from leading arborist Charlie Carroll, who, along with his team, is responsible for 6500 trees,

including 37 National Trustregistered Significant Trees, and refers to the gardens as a “tree zoo”.

Also, Andrew Laidlaw, the gardens’ landscape architect for 24 years, who is passionate about the site’s Indigenous roots.

But it is a history that cannot escape realities. Wemba WembaWergaia man and historian Dean Stewart, who developed the gardens’ popular Aboriginal Heritage Walk program, acknowledges the “great sorrow” and loss of the land for its traditional owners, recalling the stories passed down to him of William Barak and William Buckley.

Alongside stories from scientists and garden enthusiasts are interviews with musicians, artists, historians, political figures and members of the public, including the volunteers.

Combining Cunningham’s interest in science and horticulture with Wilmoth’s vast experience profiling key Melbourne figures, the authors began collaborating on the book as the global pandemic was unfolding, which further highlighted the crucial role gardens and nature play in human wellbeing.

It also turned out to be a welcome distraction, says Wilmoth.

“We wrote the book during that long lockdown last year, and it was such a lovely distraction to be writing about something so beautiful at a time that was pretty soulless.”

The garden design we recognise today, predominantly the work of visionary director William Guilfoyle in the late 19th century, and enhanced by those who followed, including Laidlaw, is captured beautifully by photographer Leigh Henningham, a former picture editor at The Age newspaper.

MENTAL HEALTH AFL great Wayne Schwass is determined to prevent suicides.

Wo r d s

O

LI N DA PE A R C E

n the silver anniversary of his greatest footballing achievement, 1996 North Melbourne premiership player Wayne Schwass can reflect on both a special time on the AFL calendar and a significant moment in his life.

Looking back to that day, the coveted medallion around his neck amid an outward show of what the mental health advocate has since declared to be fake joy while secretly harbouring suicidal thoughts, his recollections come in two parts.

“I was able to cope with three mental health conditions – anxiety, depression and obsessive-compulsive

disorder – and also be living in the middle of a four-year battle with suicidal ideation, but I was able to perform as an elite athlete because my training allowed me to do that,’’ says Schwass, who thanks his ex-wife Rachel and long-time doctor Harry Unglik for their unwavering support.

“But as I got older, I realised that I didn’t have the training or the education to make sense of what I was going through, and I certainly didn’t have a language that allowed me to communicate with my support network. They’re things I have now.’’

Reece Plumbing. In 10 hours it provides the tools which Schwass says it took him 26 years to build.

Schwass, 52, says it is an “upstream approach” that is preventative rather than reactive. “We want to keep people healthy in the first place, and the way that we do that is by educating people so that they can develop their own language, ability and confidence to pro-actively look after mental health.’’

Schwass no longer watches much footy, but this is grand final week, and the flag-winning Roo will be watching it from afar on Saturday, perhaps with a rare beer or two, and as a vastly different person from the 2006 version standing on the podium and feeling a dark sense of panic. ●

health education. His first major venture after retiring in 2002 from a 282-game career with the Kangaroos and Sydney was the not-for-profit Sunrise Foundation, which delivered mental health programs to more than 5000 Melbourne secondary school students.

In 2017, he founded PukaUp “to create the environments for every person to have authentic and genuine conversations about mental health and emotional well-being’’, and which is the vehicle for Schwass to address suicide prevention.

In conjunction with Melbourne University’s Centre for Wellbeing Science, and technology partner alffie, PukaUp has developed the science-backed, evidence-based Foundations of Wellbeing program, a 10-module digital offering being rolled out in workplaces such as

FEATURE HOUSE CAMBERWELL \ 28 WINGAN AVENUE 5

Every kid within cooee of Highfield Park has a better name for that slab of green – it’s the Dragon Park. With a huge dragon head and tail you can climb through, and a castle fort and climbing ropes and a dogs’ off-leash area and a place for the grown-ups to stand around drinking coffee from Dish and Spoon, this is the place for all to meet.

Having become a social scene unto itself, the park is working its magic on surrounding streets, with renovations all around. The owners of this elegant house were quick off the mark in 2011, transforming their post-war property into a home that offers everything for a happy childhood.

The design by Anderson Homes has proved ahead of its time. With a pool, spa, basketball mini-court, barbecue terrace and pedestrian gate to the park, it has defied lockdown to preserve most of the freedom that restless bodies need. Formal and casual living areas plus a first-floor rumpus room ensure plenty of room to sprawl. In 2019, the owners built a store room and wine cellar and added a gym to the garage.

Looking sharp in grey render, the house cuts a dash on Wingan Avenue, which runs along Highfield Park’s eastern flank.

The central hall opens into the front lounge, which has a gas log fireplace in a tiled pillar. Across the hall, the main bedroom has an en suite (renovated in 2019) and walk-in wardrobe.

The covered terrace is a glorious place in any season, with electric heating to keep everyone cosy while the Smeg barbecue does its duty. There’s a clear line of sight to the solar-heated pool and spa in the landscaped grounds.

The first floor has four double bedrooms, one with a shower en suite. The main bathroom has a shower, bath and separate toilet. The retreat opens to a balcony overlooking the park. ● ALISON BARCLAY property@domainreview.com.au
