There aren’t many Australians who haven’t seen, or at least heard of, Neighbours. The last episode of the show will air on Network 10 this week, after it was canned when Britain’s Channel 5 cut it from its line up earlier this year. Talking about its end in our office, I realised for many of us, it has been around our entire lives. It’s become part of our culture, and gave opportunities to so many in the film industry. We spoke to cast members past and present, including cover star Olympia Valance, about their time on Ramsay Street – where good neighbours truly became good friends. ●

TRAVEL \ PORTARLINGTON

Grand escape

Portarlington’s new hotel is putting the Bellarine on the map.

P O R TA R LI N G T O N G R A N D H O T E L

Shades of green and blue align nicely with sleek timber furniture, art deco bedheads and plush velvet chairs in the king-size rooms, while bathrooms stocked with sustainable slippers and refillable toiletries are a winning point of difference.

The pub dining room downstairs is where you can order the popular Portarlington mussels, while the bar staff can create any cocktail you like.

Melbourne businessman Paul Little, who bought the double-storey pub in 2019, has injected $10 million into reinvigorating the site. While he brings Melbourne chic to this seaside town, he hasn’t steered too far away from pub grub that locals love.

Little also owns the Port Phillip Ferry service and is doing all he can to woo Melburnians and tourists to the magic of the “other” peninsula.

Taking a ferry makes our arrival smooth and stress-free – and shaves 40 minutes off the trip by car.

A concierge at the hotel can help build your itinerary should you want to be pampered from the moment you get to the ferry terminal.

This will no doubt be the hot ticket – we highly recommend booking a driver to take you to all the sites on the Bellarine. ●

CHRIS MCCONVILLE

f you’re looking for a quiet winter getaway – snug by the fire while waves crash in the background, this quaint coastal town on the Bellarine Peninsula will do the trick.

Portarlington is an under-hyped seaside gem a mere 20-minute drive from Geelong and little more than an hour on the ferry from Docklands.

The Portarlington Grand Hotel, newly opened in a historic building, is the statement jewel that sits high on the hill, within view of the ferry and a five-minute upward stroll on foot. The boutique hotel’s 18 rooms are located over two levels, where modern luxury interiors feel at home in this heritage makeover.

The street-facing rooms come with spacious balconies and larger-thanlife bathrooms.

Techne Architecture and Interior Design – the team that gave us the Garden State Hotel in Flinders Lane and The Esplanade Hotel St Kilda – were behind the project.

ENTERTAINMENT

Comedy gold Shaun Micallef talks about his childhood, career and his most authentic role to date.

F

rom Mad As Hell’s political satire to hosting documentaries on ABC TV, Shaun Micallef says it took creating Network 10’s Brain Eisteddfod to feel his most natural self in front of the camera.

“I’m always used to being the performer, and this time I really get to be myself. I’m the most strippedback version of me you’ll get,” says Micallef, who returns to commercial television 10 years after he last hosted the game show Talkin’ ’Bout Your Generation.

“Brain Eisteddfod isn’t so much about me doing comedy; it’ll be funny in a natural way with the students on this game show, but it’s my job to not get in the way and annoy anyone,” Micallef says.

Brain Eisteddfod features two schools – one private and one public – competing against each other, with some of the country’s brainiest kids pressing buzzers to outdo each other across the subjects of maths, science, history and literature.

In a bid to bring families together on the couch, Micallef hopes the new game show will be just what families all sitting on different devices under the one roof need right now.

A former insurance lawyer who turned to comedy in the early 1990s, Micallef moved to Melbourne to work as a writer for Full Frontal, which gave him a taste of what could be. Since then, he’s spent decades in the spotlight, even though he never really planned it that way.

His colourful career has given him plenty of material for his memoir Tripping Over Myself, which is due

to be published in November by Hardie Grant.

Being comfortable in front of an audience wasn’t always easy for Micallef, who hid behind costumes and make-up in the early days.

Then came The Micallef Show, where he played a character of himself as host.

“It wasn’t until I did radio after that, that I lowered my mask and felt OK to be in front of an audience who were OK with me being a little unscripted,” he says.

Growing up, Micallef’s family showed affection through comedy.

“Comedy always had currency in our house as a kid,” he says.

“We didn’t embrace each other or go on about our feelings around Mum or Dad; instead, we made each other laugh.”

The married father of three lives in Williamstown and remembers falling in love with the western bayside suburb while filming Sea Change in the late ’90s and 2000.

“I lived in Albert Park before we rented in Port Melbourne, and it was during this time my wife and I would look out over the bay and see Williamstown and admire it from afar,” Micallef says.

“I was filming a courthouse scene, which was set up in the Life Saver’s Club in Williamstown, and got to know the area quite well. That’s when we decided to move there, and we haven’t left.” ● SHAUN MICALLEF’S BRAIN EISTEDDFOD \ Wednesdays, 7.30pm on Network 10.

COVER STORY

Farewell, Neighbours

W

hen the final credits roll on Neighbours tomorrow night, viewers will have witnessed 64 deaths, 39 weddings, 17 births and 35 natural disasters in nearly 9000 episodes throughout the 37-year lifespan of the show.

But there is no counting the number of tears that have been shed by cast, crew and devoted fans of the iconic Australian series since it was announced that the drama was finally coming to an end.

Sadly, unlike the resurrection of characters Harold Bishop and Jim Robinson, there will be no fairy-tale ending this time around for Neighbours.

Before a wrap was called for the final time, a swag of stars returned to the show to celebrate its incredible legacy, not just to them but to the Australian television industry as a whole.

Olympia Valance, who played feisty Paige Novak for five years from 2014, says she wouldn’t have missed the opportunity to return to the show where she began her acting career, even if it was only days before her own real-life fairy-tale wedding to retired AFL star Thomas Bellchambers.

“It meant a lot to me to say goodbye to Neighbours because it started my career, and they’ve been like my family for five years of my life,” she says.

“Yes, it was bad timing, but no part of me wasn’t going to make it work. I didn’t think that I would get so emotional. It was like all these memories were f looding back through me, and all the cast and crew were there for it.”

Valance says the loss of the show will affect the future careers of other on- and off-screen talent.

“It’s just been such a massive learning ground for some of the biggest Australian actors that we have in the world, and it’s a travesty that we don’t have anything like that any more,” she says. “I think it’s incredibly devastating that young Australian actors won’t get to have the experience that, for five years, was fundamental to who I am today.”

DOM A IN REV IEW

Valance says it is a testament to the show’s power that other famous faces who cut their teeth on Neighbours – including Kylie Minogue, Guy Pearce and Jason Donovan – agreed to reprise their roles one last time.

“I’m just so proud of these people who really did not need to come back but did anyway out of respect for what the show has done for them and their careers, and the respect for our industry and for the show,” she says.

Long-running cast members Rebekah Elmaloglou and Annie Jones have also bid emotional farewells to the fictional Melbourne suburb of Erinsborough – as has Stefan Dennis who has called Ramsay Street (also known as Pin Oak Crescent in Vermont South) home for the better part of 35 years.

“It’s funny because I was just telling myself not to get too emotional,” Dennis says. “That it is just the end to a very long game; it’s just the end of yet another gig.

“It’s just been such a massive learning ground for some of the biggest Australian actors.”

OLYMPIA VALANCE

“I was putting myself in that mindset, and I was absolutely perfect until the very last day. I just wanted to sort of sneak away without the fanfare.”

When he finished his final scene, Dennis made a swift exit from the studio but was unexpectedly overcome with the significance of the moment.

“I opened the (studio) door, and as the door closed, I just got really emotional. The actual physical act of the door closing was the thing that got me,” he says.

Residents of Ramsay Street reflect on the show that meant so much to Melbourne’s film industry.

Elmaloglou, who also starred in Home and Away, says she marvels at how lucky she was to have taken on the role of Terese Willis on Neighbours alongside Dennis for more than a decade.

“There are very few actors out there who can say they have worked as a series regular on not one but two of Australia’s favourite dramas. So, I feel very blessed,” she says.

“The most memorable moments I have from working on the show would have to be working with the wonderful Stefan Dennis. The consummate professional and my dear friend. We knew each other so well when we worked together; we almost didn’t have to say anything.”

Annie Jones, who began her career as “Plain Jane Superbrain” on the show in 1986 and was awarded the prestigious Silver Logie for Most Popular Actress in 1989, returned to the show in 2020 as a regular cast member.

“I’d have to say the most memorable moment for me was getting to be Charlene’s bridesmaid,” she says. “Who could have predicted that pink taffeta would look so dated!

“It’s such a shame on so many levels, that the show is ending. It’s an iconic Australian show which has been a training ground for every aspect of television – writers, directors, make-up artists, camera operators, the list goes on, not to mention the many actors. It’s very sad.” ● NEIGHBOURS \ Final episode airs on July 28 on 10 and 10 Peach at 7.30pm.

It’s a chance to explore Melbourne architecture and urban design, and see what the future looks like in our city.

Locavores seeking the next Hawksburn should take Williams Road south to Ripponlea – not the mansion, but the cosy, little-touristed village of 1920s shops along Glen Eira Road.

This is where kosher meets cafe, Mexican, a sourdough bakery, a wine store, an IGA supermarket for a curated weekly shop, plus a Pilates studio in which to work it all off.

Ripponlea station is nearby.

It’s a fascinating hub, and this renovated Edwardian home is a five-minute walk from the action.

Single-level and semi-detached, the house has three double bedrooms to the fore and an open-plan living and dining area with sliders to a courtyard garden. Off-street parking has roller-door access to the laneway. There’s ducted heating and cooling for climate control, plus solar panels.

Fretwork, floral leadlight and tall sash windows bring prettiness to what has been a supremely practical house for the current owners.

School mornings are easy: Ripponlea Primary, Caulfield Grammar and Shelford Girls’ Grammar schools are within a few minutes’ walk.

Off the arched side hall – newly floored in pale oak – are three bedrooms, the first two with lustrous art nouveau green-tiled fireplaces. All have white built-in wardrobes.

The third bedroom, designed as the main suite, also has a walk-in closet and a white, subway-tiled en suite with a walk-in shower and matt black tapware.

The family bathroom, radiant in white subway tiles below a skylight, has a free-standing bath and glass shower. Bifold

DISCRIMINATION IN ADVERTISING IS UNLAWFUL

The Victorian Equal Opportunity Act 1995 makes it unlawful for an advertiser to show any intention to discriminate on the basis of sex, pregnancy, race, age, marital status, political or religious belief or physical features, disability, lawful sexual activity/sexual orientation, HIV/AIDS status or on the basis of being associated with a person with one of the above characteristics, unless covered by an exception under the Act. As Network Classifieds could be legally liable if an unlawful advertisement is printed, Network Classifieds will not accept advertisements that appear to break the law.
