I never played netball as a kid. I might have actually been the only Australian schoolgirl who didn’t.

So, when reading our cover story on netballer Ash Brazill this week, I was a little nervous. But Brazill’s story is about far more than pivoting on the court. In the past 12 years, she has played for multiple netball teams, taken up AFLW for Collingwood, moved states, got married and had two kids with her wife Brooke.

After years of trying, she was also selected for the Australian Diamonds netball team for the Commonwealth Games this year. Her determination is truly inspiring. ●

THEATRE

Actress Chanella Macri stars in Looking for Alibrandi on stage.

Wo r d s

Looking for famiglia W hen Melbourne-based actress Chanella Macri was offered the role of Josie in the upcoming Melbourne Theatre Company season of Looking for Alibrandi, she was hesitant to take the job.

“Because my mum is Samoan and I have a big body I initially told director Stephen Nicolazzo he needed to find a classically tiny Italian schoolgirl.

He was like, ‘Nah, I won’t’. I was taken aback at the time because it’s rare to hear that,” says Macri, 25.

But it was also an emotional conversation with her Italian father, who migrated to Australia at 17, to turn doubt into acceptance and take on the gig of a lifetime.

“I remember telling my dad that Stephen wanted to cast me as Josie,” says Macri, initially daunted by

the prospect of taking on a character immortalised by actress Pia Miranda in the cult Aussie movie released in the year 2000.

The original book, published in 1992 and written

by Melina Marchetta, is a coming-of-age story about a 17-year-old girl, Josie, in her final year of high school, who finds out the truth about her family while on her journey of self-discovery.

“I didn’t think I was right for the role, but Dad was completely astounded by my attitude,” Macri says. “He was the one who told me that Italians

JA N E R O C CA

don’t necessarily look one way or another. He said, ‘Chanella, you’re Italian.’ And I replied, ‘Dad, it’s complicated, people ... wouldn’t consider me Italian.’

“Dad gave me a proper education about my background. We went through his family tree and showed me some big and dark women on his side of the family. It became a really interesting journey for me – to see things differently and accept myself.”

Growing up in a close-knit family in the Blue Mountains with her father Francesco, mother Faapio and three siblings, means Macri knows only too well the importance of looking out for each other. Her mother is a minister.

“My mother has a fondness for storytelling and there’s a long line of orators on her side with a strong cultural connection, so I guess that played a part in inspiring me to want to act,” she says.

Macri moved to Melbourne in 2015 to study at the VCA, and her father made sure her brother joined her on the sabbatical. They now live among firstgeneration Calabrese Italians in Reservoir, which feels like a home away from home. When nostalgic for home, they head to Coburg’s Paninoteca for a sandwich that tastes like “something your aunty packed for you”.

Macri entered the independent theatre sector after graduating in 2017 and hasn’t looked back.

In 2019, she received two Green Room Award nominations for Performer and Ensemble in Independent Theatre (Moral Panic).

“I remember seeing Stephen Nicolazzo’s Merciless Gods in Sydney and being blown away at how amazing it was,” she says. “There was this Nonna character in the play and it was like watching my father or grandmother.”

Macri credits Nicolazzo’s determination with helping her feel confident about taking on the role.

“I like that he pushes outside of our expectations and gets us to think outside perceived ideals.” ● LOOKING FOR ALIBRANDI \ Malthouse Theatre until July 31. ● malthousetheatre.com.au

Adorable Amy Singer-songwriter Amy Shark relishes being back on tour.

W

hen eight-time ARIA Award winner singer-songwriter Amy Shark goes on tour, she always makes time to chat to her Nanna Winifred on the Gold Coast – no matter where her hectic schedule takes her.

“Getting on the phone to give my nan a call is a ritual for me, and I love staying in touch with her,” says Shark.

“She is getting on in age and has been the most consistent person in my life. She doesn’t give a s--about my music; she’ll just want to tell me that my plants are dying or what the Queen is up to. She’s a mad royalist.”

Shark became a household name in 2016 with hit songs Adore and Mess You Up, propelling her from obscure Gold Coast singer (who went by the name Amy Cushway until 2012) to one everybody added to their playlists.

But it took the past few years of being off the road to regain perspective and ask herself, “Who is Amy Shark?”

“I am definitely the kind of person who wonders what I do now when I am not on tour,” Shark says.

“That’s why I love touring so much because you have your day sheet and know where you’re going, and the structure of the day is so definite.”

From listening to crime podcasts and walking along the beach to almost throwing her keyboards in her swimming pool when she couldn’t quite learn them as quickly as she would have liked, Shark went through the gamut of coping mechanisms during the worldwide pandemic.

“It forced me to slow down,” she says.

“I hung out with nieces and nephews and learnt to be still. It was nice to work out who I was again and not ‘Amy on stage’, or ‘Amy working on music’. I got to the core of me again. I have come back to work almost a better person. I am much more balanced and not as competitive. I almost needed it in some weird twisted way. I faced things I wasn’t going to when I was 100 miles an hour.”

The last time Shark toured Melbourne, she called her good friend 60 Minutes reporter Sarah Abo for some fine dining company.

“We became fast friends a few years ago, and she’s who I call when I want to dine out in Melbourne,” Shark says. “The last tour I did at Rod Laver Arena, I extended my stay because we ate out eight nights in a row from Kisume to Chin Chin.”

She’s been married to her manager Shane Billings for nine years and says sometimes there’s friction, but mostly forgiveness when things blow out. She would love to renew their wedding vows for their 10th anniversary in Las Vegas next year.

Wo r d s

“We go through stages where we tell each other no talking about work at home,” Shark says. “Or we might say if we go to dinner, there’s no business talk. It’s not as heated when we speak about music or work any more.

“We have strong opinions, but we’re on the same page and a lot less crazy. It’s great to know Shane understands what my days involve and what I go through; he is always on my side."

Diamond in the rough Netball and football player Ash Brazill is finally realising her Commonwealth Games dream.

DOM A IN REV IEW

COVER STORY

T

hey say diamonds aren’t made overnight, and that certainly applies to Ash Brazill.

The professional netball and AFLW player spent 12 years on netball teams across the country before finally making the national team – the Australian Diamonds – ahead of the 2022 Commonwealth Games, which start next week in Birmingham, England.

“It was the best phone call – the most emotional phone call – and something that I’m never going to forget,” Brazill says of hearing the news from Diamonds coach Stacey Marinkovich that she had made the team.

There are few athletes who play professionally across multiple codes, and even fewer who represent more than one club concurrently.

Brazill is the only Australian athlete to lay claim to this title, as a contracted player for the Collingwood Magpies in both AFLW footy and Suncorp Super Netball.

After making her netball debut for her home state – the NSW Swifts – in 2010, there were

only chance,” she says. “I think being 28 ... you really think you’ve got only a year or two left in your career. I was not thinking four years later that I’d still be playing netball, that’s for sure.”

Brazill had long joked about taking up AFLW, having played footy in her junior years, but the Diamonds omission was the catalyst.

She made her AFLW debut in 2018 while still playing Super Netball, ignoring those who said it meant never making a Diamonds return.

Initially, the naysayers may have been correct.

Brazill remained out of favour with Diamonds selectors for two more years, although it was arguably AFLW that reinvented her netball game. She gained more muscle, was exposed to an entirely new environment and learned from a diverse group of athletes.

“It was the best thing that I think has ever happened to me,” Brazill says. “I just love both games, but I do think playing footy has definitely got me to be the netballer I am today.

In 2019, I made both the All-Australian footy team and the Diamonds.”

years and rumours about the club’s culture were put to bed. Brazill took ownership of her role as a specialist wing defence (despite speculation that Diamonds selectors prefer players who regularly cover multiple positions), balancing flashy intercepts with the ability to shut down her direct opposition.

The Diamonds couldn’t say “no”.

At 32 years of age, Brazill is the oldest player in the Australian team – a maturity that’s reflected in her passion, clarity and leadership.

Since becoming a mother and co-captain of Collingwood’s Super Netball team, she says she’s found a greater perspective as an athlete and become more of a team player.

Brazill also credits the sacrifices of Brooke, and the resilience of Louis and Frankie, who spend a lot of time around the club, with helping her to make her Diamonds return.

“When we moved over here, Brooke was the breadwinner – she earned all the money – but [she said] to me that netball doesn’t last forever, whereas her job can, so let’s

“I just love both games, but I do think playing footy has definitely got me to be the netballer I am today.” five years playing for and eventually captaining the West Coast Fever in Perth, a short-lived stint in the national team over 2015-2016, multiple injuries and a move to Melbourne in 2017 when recruited as a foundation player for Collingwood’s Super Netball team.

Brazill took a huge pay cut when she joined Collingwood, all in the hopes of eventually playing in netball’s “big two” international tournaments – the Netball World Cup and the Commonwealth Games.

She was soon in the best form of her career, but when it came time for Diamonds selection before the 2018 Commonwealth Games, there was no call from then-coach Lisa Alexander.

“I remember sitting in the car with [my wife] Brooke being a mess and just saying, you know, that’s it. Diamonds is over for me; I’m never going to ever play Comm Games. This was my

Wo r d s

At the same time, the couple were establishing a life in Melbourne away from their extended families. They’ve since had two children – Louis, 2, and Frankie, eight months – and moved to Highett near Sandringham, where they relish the community of young families, large backyards and nearby water. “Brooke and I absolutely love Melbourne,” she says.

A major injury (ACL, lateral meniscus, medial collateral ligament and tibia in one) obtained playing AFLW in 2020 was yet another setback to Brazill’s career.

Even after rehabilitation, she wasn’t confident about playing both sports and still making the Diamonds. She sat out the recent AFLW season but intends to return to the field with Collingwood for the new season.

It was the right call. The Magpies made the Super Netball finals for the first time in three

make the move now. I’m extremely fortunate to have my wife be my best friend and my biggest supporter.”

The Diamonds are ranked the number one netball team going into the Comm Games, but Brazill considers them the underdogs.

Australia’s playing group is a much less internationally experienced team than defending champions the English Roses. There’s immense pressure to refill the Diamonds’ trophy cabinet after losing the 2018 Commonwealth Games, the 2019 Netball World Cup, and playing little international netball since.

Filipino fusion

disclaimer: chef Ross Magnaye of new Filipino restaurant, Serai, is a friend of mine.

Becoming mates was a calculated move; I adored the way he imparted the flavours of his upbringing into dishes at CBD restaurant Rice Paper Sisters, and I wanted to learn more about Filipino food.

I’ve now had the privilege of tasting his mum’s adobo and his callos tripe stew. But Serai is something else entirely.

“Serai is Filipino Australian because we’re using Aussie ingredients with Filipino flavours,” Ross says. “It’s something new and fresh that people haven’t tried.”

The restaurant is a partnership between Ross, Rice Paper Sisters co-founder Shane Stafford and his childhood friend, Ben Waters.

It’s down Racing Club Lane, a dead-end street parallel to Hardware Lane. The minimalist fit-out with concrete floors and bentwood chairs capitalises on the building’s industrial bones.

Most diners sip cocktails with Filipino ingredients such as ube (purple yam), calamansi (Filipino citrus)

and Don Papa No. 7 rum. The natural wine list is Australian with a few European cameos and around 15 of them are poured by the glass.

An astonishingly calm team cooks over fire in the open kitchen, which is on display to a full restaurant. Every dish that hits the pass at Serai packs an unapologetic punch of flavour worthy of boxer Manny Pacquiao.

We kick things off with lumpia, Filipino spring rolls. Serai’s are tart-shaped pastry wrappers filled with sweet pineapple and burnt coconut cream, and finished with soy-seasoned tapioca with the appearance of caviar.

As far as snacks go, seared kangaroo kinilaw is a generous one. Kinilaw means “to cure” in Tagalog.

Ross marinates the Aussie protein, smokes it and then flash sears it before piling the ’roo on a marrowbone to spread on toast.

From the aptly named “crispy things” section, Serai’s McScallop is a plump, battered Abrolhos scallop with crab-fat sauce and papaya pickle on a pandesal (Filipino bread roll) slider. It tastes like the best possible version of a Filet-o-Fish.

She

A bulbous hash brown takes inspiration from traditional kare kare, with peanut sauce and a salted duck egg yolk emulsion on top.

From the wood-fired department, Gippsland lamb ribs are marinated in adobo sauce thickened with oyster sauce and tender enough to suck off the bone (look mum, no teeth!).

From the coals also comes just-cooked calamari with seriously fiery nduja (spreadable salami) made from Filipino longganisa sausage beneath it.

We could have stopped there, but it felt wrong to visit a Filipino restaurant and not order lechon. The pork belly is crisp and soft in all the right places and topped with modern palapa, a condiment of smoked pineapple, chilli, ginger, shallot and herbs.

“People ask me how I feel about pushing Filipino food forward, but I don’t really think about that,” Ross says. “I’m just making the stuff that I want to cook and eat, and at the end of the day, it’s all about delicious food.” ● SERAI \ 7 Racing Club Lane, Melbourne.

EDUCATION & INNOVATION

Sacré Cœur: educating hearts and minds

A

t a recent Careers Breakfast at Sacré Cœur, 25 alumnae shared their experiences of life after graduation with students in years 10, 11 and 12 who are in the midst of exams, assignments and course and subject selections “Our alumnae want to give back to the school,” says principal Adelina Melia-Douvos. “Many are in roles that didn’t exist when they were at school and their experiences broaden the minds of current students and help them see future possibilities.”

The leading independent Catholic school in Glen Iris educates girls from prep to year 12. It is one of four Sacred Heart schools in Australia and New Zealand and is built on the Sacred Heart tradition that embraces faith, intellect, community, social awareness and personal growth.

Melia-Douvos says it is a medium-sized school, which ensures every student is known.

“Our focus on holistic development and growth sees wellbeing and academic rigor as two sides of the same coin,” she adds. “Our students experience a real sense of belonging and relationships are foundational to everything we do.

“When people come to the school they sense a strong feeling of connection. It doesn’t matter what your role is at this school, everyone is known and everyone is respected and valued.”

Sacré Cœur also prides itself on delivering a bespoke education that meets the needs of girls at different ages and stages of their school journey.

“Our staff know exactly what is involved in teaching girls at different stages,” Melia-Douvos says. “They are experts in their field and they are all passionate about girls’ education.

“A passion is instilled in students to have a love of learning, to take risks and to look for stretch experiences. Students have an attitude that, unless they get comfortable with feeling a little discomfort, they won’t grow and realise their full potential.”

Sacré Cœur encourages lifelong learning, an approach to education that Melia-Douvos herself embraces. She constantly researches and explores advances in education and teaching practice nationally and overseas to identify ideas that could benefit the school.

The principal widely consults with experts who have extensive insights into research, trends and

A D E LI N A M E LIA- D O U VO S

best practice from around the world, as MeliaDouvos continues to strive for educational excellence at Sacré Coeur.

“We are developing our next strategic plan and a number of initiatives are emerging from that, such as a ‘future fit’ learning framework that will maximise our opportunities for inter-disciplinary learning,” she explains.

“The strategy also ensures our community values, respects and celebrates the richness and diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

“Ultimately, there is a focus on service and a recognition of our responsibilities to be effective stewards of people and the earth’s resources.”

Melia-Douvos says she is also “keen to develop a model that enables us to profile students and to map individual growth, including academic growth, and we have a strong expectation that all students are leaders – that will continue to be embedded throughout the school”.

Melia-Douvos’s history of working in girls’ education stretches back decades. She has been part of the fabric of Sacré Cœur since 2011, was

SACRÉ CŒUR \ 172 Burke Road, Glen Iris ● 9835 2700 ● sac.vic.edu.au

appointed principal in 2020 and is immensely proud of the community that has been created.

“Our students are intellectually competent and curious, courageous and kind, spiritual and reflective, principled and open-minded, creative and analytical, considered and communicative,” she says. “I am blessed to be part of a legacy of women who are highly intelligent, strong, faithfilled, courageous and visionary.”

What the students say “I have many academic opportunities and am encouraged and applauded for taking them by peers and the school.” Gabriella, year 6 “Being a part of a single-sex school such as Sacré Cœur empowers me to break gender stereotypes and feel comfortable to express myself and my interests.” Olivia, year 9 “The approach to learning empowers me in the classroom and limits distractions while enabling me to form lifelong bonds and connections with my peers.” Phoebe, year 11. ● SARAH MARINOS

When people talk about “classic Toorak” they’re reminiscing about a cosy sanctuary fortified against the Great Depression and between two world wars.

Mansions built in that uncertain time include this house in the Evans Court Estate, which today is heritage-protected for its discreet elegance.

“I often take my breakfast down to the garden and pretend I’m right out in the country,” says the co-owner, a doctor, who with his artist wife raised their children in this northfacing property shrouded in camellias and tree ferns.

“The garden has flowers all year round, thanks to the previous owner. She planted things with perfect timing to make sure there was always something blooming to cheer you up.”

On three levels, with a pool and gated triple carport, the house strikes a smart figure in white-painted brick with mullioned sash windows.

Extended in the 1990s, this ’30s abode has cream travertine flooring, plantation shutters and French doors to a north-facing deck, bringing an easygoing chic to interwar proportions. The garden and pool have the ambience of a tropical resort.

With a living room, study and open-plan dining and family area, the scene is set for a school-aged family to sprawl in seclusion. Four bedrooms include a suite in the pool pavilion.

The communal areas are on the ground floor, elevated above the rear garden and with a full sunshiny blast.

The travertine hall leads left to the living room (open fireplace, velvet curtains) and to a study with bookcases.

73 Neerim Road, Caulfield HEATHERBRAE is one of Melbourne’s most original, unrestored Victorian mansions.

Essentially untouched and with a rich history in the same family’s hands for nearly a century, HEATHERBRAE is equally alluring as a property and as a renovation project.

An allotment of some 3,292m2 featuring extensive frontage to Neerim and Booran Roads reflects the status of a property acknowledged for its aesthetic, historical and social significance.

The impetus to return HEATHERBRAE to a level of beauty befitting its provenance is complemented by marble fire places, stained glass windows, ornate ceilings, inlaid timber floors, tessellated tiles, a majestic staircase, romantic verandahs and a tower with an evocative widow´s walk.

A magnificent mature heritage listed Moreton Bay fig tree, modern swimming pool, original wash house and period stables accompany the grounds while a large basement cellar and the capacity for abundant car parking further emphasize the unique character of HEATHERBRAE.
