Takeaway coffee, long walks and thought-provoking podcasts – sometimes all at once – have become my go-to during the long weeks of this latest lockdown. So, it was with great interest that I read Peter Barrett’s cover story exploring why cafes – beyond the caffeine hit – are so important to Melburnians.

It’s a fascinating read. Elsie Lange’s interviews with some much-loved Melburnians about how they spend their allocated outdoor exercise time and what they like to listen to while working out is just as interesting.

Meanwhile, Luke Dennehy talks to FIRES star Miranda Otto. Enjoy. ●

TELEVISION Miranda Otto on her new FIRES role and TV’s resurgence.

Wo r d s

LU K E D E N N E H Y

M

iranda Otto admits she was frightened before taking up the role of dairy farmer Kath in the ABC drama series FIRES. It’s unusual for such an experienced actor, but this role is like no other – FIRES is a six-part anthology drama series that examines the terrible impact of the devastating bushfires across Australia that started in November 2019 and burned for months.

While bushfires are sadly part of Australia’s way of life, they have rarely been depicted on the screen – big or small. In FIRES, the home of Otto’s character Kath and her husband Duncan is devastated by fires in Queensland as they look for their missing son Lachlan.

She stars alongside fellow Australian acting royalty Richard Roxburgh and Taylor Ferguson, who plays Brooke – her future daughter-in-law.

Others in the cast include Noni Hazelhurst, Sullivan Stapleton, Anna Torv and Sam Worthington.

“It was really intense, and to be honest, while I wanted to do it, I was frightened in some way because it was so based in grief,” Otto says.

“It starts at a place of loss and gets worse, but in the end, Kath is in a better place, but it was a tough journey,” she says.

Otto is based in Los Angeles with her husband, fellow actor Peter O’Brien, and daughter Darcey.

The family moved back to Sydney last year to sit out the COVID-19 pandemic, and only recently returned to their family home in LA. Otto became a household name in Australia following the films The Girl Who Came Late in 1991 and The Last Days Of Chez Nous in 1992. She then went on to star in Hollywood films such as The Lord of the Rings franchise and The Thin Red Line.

But she never forgot her start in television. Otto’s first role was a guest spot in the classic Australian

“In my mind, the most interesting stories are now happening in television,” she says. “Film has become more about big action movies and less about the smaller, independent films. I think streaming and cable TV have discovered you don’t have to please everyone but still make niche television that can find an audience. It’s incredibly authentic.”

She says when choosing roles, she does so with both O’Brien and Darcey, now 16, in mind.

“I do love to travel, but with COVID and my family, it’s much harder than it used to be.”

Darcey is now following in her parents’ footsteps.

“She did work with us on a show called The Unusual Suspects, which was really fun,” she says.

“But I am not one of those parents who is pushing their kids into acting because it’s a really tough business. So, I will always support her; I won’t push her to do anything.” ● FIRES \ 8.40pm Sundays, ABC and ABC iview

AU C TI O N R O O M S CA F E , NORTH MELBOURNE

So, how’ve you bean?

COVER STORY Melbourne’s cafes have taken

on a new social importance during the pandemic.

M

elburnians have shown plenty of mettle during these pandemic times.

But when a rumour began circulating that the government was considering banning takeaway coffee as part of new, tighter lockdown restrictions, it seemed our resolve started to wobble.

8

DOM A IN REV IEW

A city that thrives on culture had already given up its restaurants, theatre, live music, and footy to the virus. Surely not our daily takeaway coffee, too?

Fortunately, the rumour lasted only a few hours before Premier Dan Andrews put it in the bin in his Saturday press conference. But the

public outcry and anxiousness expressed in the interim made us wonder: beyond the caffeine hit, why are Melbourne cafes so important to us?

First, Melburnians could be forgiven for taking their daily cup for granted.

The kernel of truth hidden in the stereotype of the Melbourne coffee snob is the fact that our coffee scene is world-class. Matt Holden, a former editor of The Age Good Cafe Guide, says what began with an influx of Italian migrants and espresso

Wo r d s

PE T E R BA R R E T T

machines in the 1950s led to bohemian outposts in the 1980s in Fitzroy and St Kilda. By the 2000s, wealth, gentrification, and ideas around provenance and ethical sourcing of ingredients gave rise to our so-called “third wave” coffee.

Typically sold from a smartly refurbished warehouse, it was singleorigin, ethically sourced and paired with next-level food and hospitality.

But there’s more. Holden suggests that, compared to pubs, these cafes

MARKET L ANE COFFEE, PR A H R A N M A R K E T

has forced people to slow down, turning her cafe-bistro into something like a country general store where people stop by to get their daily fix of local news.

“For a lot of our customers, this is the time that they get out for the day.

They have their walk with one other ... or with their dog, and they have their 10 minutes while waiting for a coffee, and they interact. So, it’s really important. Particularly for single people, I think.”

Daffy also made arrangements early in the pandemic with other retailers who cannot trade during lockdowns, such as the local florist, to sell products on their behalf without taking a profit. “We’re only as good as the street that we’re on,” ABIGAIL VARNEY

offered a more democratic, open, and accessible place to congregate.

“Pubs in Australia have been traditionally pretty male, pretty Anglo kind of spaces and not that welcoming of women or other people,” he says.

“Maybe cafes are more like that.”

And then came the pandemic.

Third-wave coffee pioneer Fleur Studd started Melbourne Coffee Merchants with her father Will Studd in 2008 and co-founded coffee roaster and retailer Market Lane Coffee at Prahran Market the following year.

The business has grown to six shops and roasts in Brunswick East.

“The thing that’s unique about cafes and coffee shops is people are visiting them in quite a habitual way,” she says.

“So, it’s a daily ritual that is part of

“So, it’s a daily ritual that is part of everyone’s lives, in a pandemic, and outside of a pandemic.”

FLEUR STUDD, MARKET LANE COFFEE

everyone’s lives, in a pandemic, and outside of a pandemic. And I feel like the pandemic, in a way, condenses or intensifies that experience.”

Studd says that with so many people working from home, some come to her cafes up to three times a day.

“It’s so much more than the beverage that we’re serving to our customers,” she says. “It’s about that relationship with the customer and that connection that the team are building. And I think that’s even more important in times where we’re feeling really isolated.” Indeed, when Prahran Market became a COVID-19 exposure site earlier this year, one customer offered to make lasagne for staff who were self-isolating. “It’s just amazing.

It’s definitely a two-way relationship that is really special.”

In Elsternwick, Carter Lovett owner Mary-Jane Daffy says the pandemic

she says. “We need all the businesses here to draw people to the area.”

Carter Lovett’s Canadian barista Paul Jagos came to Melbourne five years ago to take his craft to the next level. He’s noticed recently customers lingering for a chat or engaging in philosophical debate (a small but vocal minority just want to argue about masks, frustratingly).

Customers have “become more real”, he says, ditching chit-chat for more honest exchanges. “I think a lot of people come, and they do get this empathy because we’re like, ‘Yep, we’re all in the same boat here.

We do understand how you feel.’”

Living in Kensington, Greens State MP for Melbourne, Ellen Sandell, says businesses like cafes have become integral in fostering community connection in recent months, when going out for a walk to

get a coffee or takeaway lunch may be the only time you’ll see another person. “Humans fundamentally need that social interaction,” she says. “We can get that at cafes because they’re easily accessible places that anyone can go.”

Looking ahead, though, Sandell is concerned about bringing vibrancy back to the CBD. Invested in that

dilemma is another third-wave coffee pioneer, Andrew Kelly, who opened Auction Rooms in 2008, sold in 2016, and has since concentrated on his roasting operation, Small Batch.

Kelly says he had a CBD smallfootprint cafe-cum-wine-bar “90 per cent built” in March 2020, but for obvious reasons, he delayed opening.

With a launch now scheduled for January, Kelly is banking on the CBD being okay, despite the recent focus on local neighbourhood cafes.

“There’s a broader need for connectedness, which cafes provide outside of your local area,” he says.

“And that’s why people want to still go into the office several days a week.

There’s still that need for collegiality and [community].”

Whether we’ll be lingering for a chat, engaging in debate, or “being more real” in those new cafes in the future remains to be seen. But we’re unlikely to take them for granted. ●

Space to perform and grow

ST CATHERINE’S SCHOOL

S

t Catherine’s School’s carefully considered Strategic Plan‚ Towards 2025‚ is taking another major step forward with the development of the Black Box Theatre.

The custom-designed performance, rehearsal and learning space is just one example of the Strategic Plan’s initiatives that include a commitment to learning beyond the classroom.

A bespoke co-curricular program, called Her Signature, has been designed to “empower young women to discover through experience and extend their capabilities, pursue their interests, talents and passions and find their voice in the communities and world around them”.

Other facets of the Strategic Plan focus on Academic Achievement, Wellbeing and Leadership, Exemplary Staff, Embracing Community and Equipping the Future.

Her Signature provides students with opportunities across sport, debating and public speaking, global exchange programs, study tours and performing and visual arts. A key element of the program is the Black Box Theatre that, when completed, will seat 200 people.

The space will be used for drama, music, theatre and dance, and be coupled with a performance space for rehearsals, music soirees, concerts and junior and senior school plays and musicals, says James Brown, head of performing arts.

“The new theatre has been designed with the needs of all our performing arts students and educators in mind,” he says. “It ensures they are in the best environment to learn, rehearse and perform across a number of disciplines, as well as delivering high-quality productions to audiences and educational enrichment for our students.

“The Black Box Theatre will provide a specialised and professional performing space for students to showcase their talents and passions.”

The flexibly designed space will also be the drama room and used for year-level and house assemblies.

The construction of the theatre, located at the front of the school, is the central phase of the Performing Arts Precinct redevelopment.

“It will be the natural encore to the recent refurbishment of the Epstein and Myer Music Studios and will take centre stage at the

T H E B L AC K B OX T H E AT R E

commencement of the 2022 school year,” says Brown. The theatre design includes state-of-theart lighting, sound and media technologies and a 360-degree blackout curtain that will provide the flexibility to configure multiple stage experiences.

The venue will also include a floor-to-ceiling digital display system and a shock-absorbing sprung dance floor that will reduce the risk of performers experiencing dance-related injuries.

“This theatre has the technological capabilities to provide context and visual imagery throughout the students’ productions, using projection, lighting, sound and space for flexible settings and staging,” says Brown.

“It will not only enhance the creative process but also provide further opportunities for students interested in the technical and backstage management roles within the performing arts.”

ST CATHERINE’S SCHOOL \ 17 Heyington Place, Toorak ● 03 9822 1285 ● stcatherines.net.au

Initiatives like the Black Box Theatre and the Towards 2025 Strategic Plan are helping to deliver St Catherine’s charter to “nurture and empower independent and globally responsive young women, enabling them to approach their endeavours with confidence, wisdom and integrity”.

Brown is enthusiastic about the establishment of the Black Box Theatre and the benefits it will bring to the school community.

“Performing arts empowers our students to understand and respect their craft, collaborate together on the creative process, problem-solve and find their voice and personal leadership within a team and across the school,” he says.

“Students often begin to truly value the importance of balance, community, teamwork and persistence during their time in performing arts.” ● SARAH MARINOS

Up and at ’em LIFESTYLE Lockdown outdoor time with

a few of Melbourne’s favourite people.

D

uring lockdown, the time of day many of us look forward to most is the few hours we get to spend outdoors. But how best to spend it?

We spoke to some beloved Melburnians about how they spend their daily outdoor exercise time, the music they listen to and the podcasts that keep them entertained along the way.

VIRGINIA TRIOLI

ABC Radio Melbourne host Activity: I ride to work each day and then walk the dog with my husband and son before dinner. I also try to do some regular strength work at home.

On a weekend, we all do much longer walks in Royal Park, where we track the progress of fledgling tawny frogmouths.

Favourite music: An evolving playlist from the ’90s, 2000s and now. I’m loving Amyl and the Sniffers and Chvrches.

Favourite podcast: Dan Ilic’s A Rational Fear for its satire.

SCOTT PICKETT

Restaurateur, including Estelle, Matilda and Chancery Lane Activity: I love going for a walk around Darebin Parklands. It feels like I’m in the wilderness, when in fact, it’s within my five kilometres.

Favourite music: I am currently listening to a ’90s rock anthems playlist. It was the best era for rock – lots of my favourites like Rage Against the Machine, Metallica, Nirvana and Pearl Jam. Hard rock is the greatest pick me up and really gets me pumping!

Favourite podcast: The Imperfects. It’s a great podcast that speaks to the fact that we are all imperfect. They chat with a lot of different people who share their struggles and imperfections. It really brings things down to earth and helps me practice mindfulness in my day-to-day.

WELLBEING FOR THE WHOLE GIRL At CGGS, we are committed to promoting the wellbeing of our entire school community.

We actively create an environment of inclusion where we value our diversity, embrace our differences and empower our students to pursue their passions. We know when wellbeing is at its optimum, students are more likely to thrive.

JAMES PENLIDIS

JO STANLEY

Comedian, radio and podcast host Activity: I love running – well, it’s probably a jog because I don’t go fast. I’m lucky to have Elwood beach within my five k’s, so I run along the bay, which always lifts my soul. Or we’ll do the dog park with our Labrador Daisy and kick a footy for added kid engagement.

Favourite music: My 12-year-old daughter introduces me to her faves.

We’re loving Olivia Rodrigo. And then, in turn, I give her a little education. Right now, we’re on Elton John and David Bowie. I’m proud of her eclectic taste.

Favourite podcast: I’m building a start-up – a radio station for women, by women called Broad Radio. So, I listen to women entrepreneurs a lot,

like My Daily Business Coach with Fiona Killacky or Lady Brains. Or, in true start-up founder style, I always listen to our Broad Radio podcast to make sure we’re always improving on what we’re doing.

Favourite podcast: At the moment, I’m gravitating towards comedy.

Somehow Related with Dave O’Neil and Glenn Robbins is making me laugh and teaching me stuff about stuff. Clearly, not grammar.

LIVINIA NIXON

Channel Nine TV and weather presenter Activity: I walk our dog, Hannah, early in the morning before we all log on for home-schooling, and it’s a great way to start our day – the walk, that is. During the kids’ maths class, I’ll do an online Pilates session while Hannah stares at me as though I’m very strange! I’m really missing playing golf and cardio tennis with my girlfriends.

Favourite music: I’m loving Dua

SHANE CRAWFORD

Former AFL star and TV personality Activity: I love going for a walk.

I enjoy never taking the same path or street, and heading down along the beach. I love walking along the path in Sandringham while listening to some radio or a podcast.

Favourite music: I enjoy the songs that remind me of my past – anything with Cat Stevens I like.

Favourite podcast: I enjoy listening

to Sam Newman’s podcast You Cannot Be Serious; it does make me smile the way Don Scott and Sam Newman fight. I also like catching up on Christian O’Connell’s podcast.

PETER HITCHENER

Nine News presenter Activity: I live near a park, and most days I go for a walk, along with just about everyone else in the neighbourhood – and Jasper, a large Siberian husky who belongs to a neighbour unable to walk her.

Favourite music: Everything from opera to the Rolling Stones. What I listen to depends on the day’s mood.

Favourite podcast: My schedule means I can only occasionally listen to a podcast; recently, I was fascinated by one called Criminal. ●

FEATURE HOUSE ARMADALE \ 34 NEW STREET 3

1

Everyone knows High Street, hardly anyone knows New Street, even though it’s just a block north of that golden mile, which currently reigns as Melbourne’s fashion capital.

That’s how New Street’s residents would like to keep it – peaceful, pretty, walkable to schools and parks and, frankly, not that “new”. Houses here have at least a century on the clock.

Doing its bit for the heritage is this pert Victorian, which has just emerged resplendent from renovation.

With three bedrooms and open-plan living and dining, the house packs a lot of accommodation into a single level. New oak floors and grey carpets, tall windows with plantation shutters, and high ceilings with clerestories combine in a bright, airy calm that families and downsizers will appreciate.

The weatherboard house stands tall on the south side and has steps up to a sunny verandah. The skylit hall leads to a single and two double bedrooms. The largest, at the front, retains its turn-of-the-century charm in a green-tiled castiron fireplace with a colonnaded mantelpiece. Bedroom two has a wardrobe and a simple open fireplace. The third bedroom, a single, has roof storage via a hatch. This room would suit a study or nursery.

The family bathroom-laundry looks sharp in black and white and has a shower above the bath. Pull back the bifold cupboard doors for laundry access.

At the end of the hall a scrolled arch heralds the new communal area. Here, the living is easy in pure white on golden-brown oak, with black-framed sliders to the garden.

FINAL WORD

Bosch appliances set the scene in the kitchen, where a stone waterfall island gleams below black pendant lights.
