Cancer awareness gathers momentum
APPROX: 65,000 COPIES MONTHLY
By Karl Shami
Results of CAB Audit September-March 2011
reast Cancer Awareness Month is an international health event promoted across many countries including Australia and aims to raise awareness through various events and the selling of pink ribbon products. According to Cancer Australia, breast cancer is still the most common cancer among Australian women and a major health issue for the public. But with death rates from breast cancer decreasing since the introduction of the campaign, Professor John Hopper from the University of Melbourne says there is an increasing chance to combat the deadly disease. “There’s tremendous hope that we can actually do something about breast cancer,” says Professor Hopper. “Enormous progress has been made but there’s still a long way to go and the aim is to try and eradicate breast cancer deaths by the year 2030.” The campaign has also encouraged dialogue about the disease, and could even lead to awareness about other cancers that both men and women find embarrassing to talk about. “People talking about their disease has been one of the ma-

jor issues about breast cancer,” says Professor Hopper. “And that has flowed onto men now talking about prostate cancer, the next one will be people talking about bowel cancer and not hiding the fact that they’ve got this disease.” There has been criticism of the campaign of the past, with accusations by some groups – more prevalent overseas – of corporations cashing in on the movement. In particular, websites such as www.thinkbeforeyoupink. org have been set up to call for more transparency by companies that take part in breast cancer fundraising, and to encourage consumers to re-examine the role consumer culture plays in the campaign. But Professor Hopper disagrees, “In a sense it doesn’t really matter, it’s money for research and that’s important. We do have a lot of giving from people, but now we’ve also got companies, who can contribute by being associated with such an excellent brand such as the National Breast Cancer Foundation.” The National Breast Cancer Foundation was established in 1994 as a not-for-profit organisation to promote and support
Professor John Hopper with NBCF patron Sarah Murdoch and CEO Carole Renouf
breast cancer research. According to its website, it has allocated over 55 million dollars to over 230 breast cancer research projects in Australia. Professor Hopper says that the group stands out from other organisations due to its structure and transparency. “It’s not run by any one group with a vested interest, and the key point is that the money that goes out to researchers and [in a] totally, fair equitably process that gives it to the best possible research.”

ach year thousands of Melbourne punters head out in droves to watch “The Race that Stops a Nation.” However away from the horses, champagne and gambling there is far more beautiful side to this show-stopping event. Creating something beautiful is a thrill for Marylou Scally from Brunswick Street store Scally & Trombone, who spends her days and nights preparing hats, jewellery and accessories in preparation for the Spring Carnival. “It’s the one time of the year when you can get really dressed up, the races are a moment of fantasy where you can wear something beautiful and celebrate.”
If past carnivals are any indication Melbournians are certainly adept at celebrating. Scally, who founded the iconic Fitzroy store 25 years ago, was providing race-goers with beautiful hats and accessories long before it became popular. “When we began retailing there were no hat stores in Melbourne.” These days it’s cool to wear a hat, be it to keep your head toasty in winter or save your precious skin in summer. Scally has a design or a style for every head. “People are often surprised at how varied our range is, one of the great things about being a small business is being able to try different things.” In regards to trends for the
latest season, Scally believes in being true to yourself, “It comes down to what shape and style suits your face, in this area (Fitzroy) people are generally quite confident about what they wear.” The location of Scally and Trombone allows the store to play with the eccentric nature of the fashion forward street. “Being in Brunswick Street people expect a little bit of the quirky, I guess that’s the joy of the area. Fashion is about being brave and intelligent, your attractiveness comes from being confident and unique in the way you dress.” For your entire race wear accessories head to Scally and Trombone, 331 Brunswick St Fitzroy.
Hackers key into Myki cards By Cassandra McKay
M
elbourne’s transport ticketing card Myki experienced a security attack last Wednesday when two German researchers gained access to cardholders’ details. The Transport Ticketing Authority (TTA) Chief Executive Officer Bernie Carolan made an official announcement on the
Myki Website, reassuring Myki holders that the hacking did not cause them critical risk. “It is important to note that no personal information is stored on a Myki card. Only the card balance and past ten transactions are held on the card. Mifare DESFire is the safest smart card available on the market. It is far more technologically advanced than other models.” A statement issued by the
The National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) unveiled more than 8,000 pink cranes last Wednesday in Sydney in celebration of the first anniversary of their community-based initiative, Register4. Register4 encourages action on breast cancer research by encouraging the community to sign-up and participate in research online. The 8,247 pink paper cranes represented each female staff member working at Westpac,
a major charity partner. One of the obstacles researchers face is finding willing participants for their studies. Register4 aims to help with this shortage, and both men and women are encouraged to sign-up and assist in the gathering of vital information. The NBCF hopes that as more people sign-up and answer questions, they will be able to answer questions on a range of health issues.

of card information”, says Carolan. These security measures reduce the chances of a potential attack. The attacks are said to have taken up to a year to conduct, requiring around $3000 worth of equipment. The researchers’ side-channel attacks targeted weaknesses in the MF3ICD40 card’s DESFire microprocessor implementation. But the difficulty of hacking into the system means it would be improbable for wannabe copycats. “(TTA) has no intention of
replacing any Myki cards already owned by customers, as erroneously reported by some media outlets. The TTA believes that Myki customers do not need to worry about the security of their Myki card,” announced Carolan in an official statement. The Mifare DESFire MF3ICD40 cards are to be discontinued and eliminated by the end of the year. Plans for a newer version are under way for replacement, known as the EV1 version; a version attempted and failed to be hacked so far.

Love it... Love it or hate it, Spring Racing Carnival has arrived. Here are our top tips for enjoying - or avoiding - the day that stops a nation. By Kate Tapping
Top tips for Melbourne Cup lovers Go! Nothing beats being at Flemington in person to cheer your horse past the winning post. General admission tickets are $74, less for concession, and can be purchased through Ticketmaster.
Birdcage in your own backyard If you don’t fancy heading out, re-create the members’ car park at your place with a marquee, chicken sandwiches, and, or course, oodles of champagne.
Fashions on the field, a la Vinnies And if you’re staying home with friends to enjoy the day, host a fashionista contest with a difference. Decide a budget and visit your local secondhand shop with a group of friends, see who can come up with the best outfit at your very own home grown fashion on the fields.
Heads up
Street sweep
In the same vein, challenge your guests to create their own headgear using items they find around your house. Colander fascinator? Saucepan lid hat? Looking good with a bunch of grapes, an elegantly draped tea towel, or a paper tissue origami rose - what’s there not to love?
It’s as Australian as a meat pie at the footy and a great way to get to know your neighbours. Buy the paper the day before, put a dollar on a horse, divide the pot between first, second and third place - and don’t forget a little something for the ‘wooden spoon’ horse of the day.
Country roads Go bush and hang out with locals at the country races held all over Victoria - Bairnsdale, Moe, Echuca, Wangaratta, Yarra Glen, and the list continues. Sure it’s a bit of more of a trek, but attractions include genuine country ambience, all the action from the big smoke on giant screens, live bands and activities for the kids.
or leave it! Top tips for Melbourne Cup haters Head for the hills The Dandenongs and the You Yangs are gorgeous this time of year and situated only a short drive from Melbourne. Soak up some nature far from Flemington’s maddening crowds. Shop ’til you drop It may be the race that stops a nation, but it doesn’t stop Chadstone. Or Highpoint. Or any other major shopping centre. Yep, the shops will be open for business as usual. And with equestrian lovers
otherwise occupied, you may find the stores less crowded than normal. Act arty National Gallery of Victoria, on St Kilda Road, is also open on Melbourne Cup day. With hundreds of interesting pieces of artwork permanently on display, and additional special and touring exhibitions, it’s a great time to visit Australia’s oldest public art gallery, which is celebrating its 150th birthday this year.
How about a walk through the Dandenong ranges? Not a horse in sight!
Read a book under a tree
Footy fever
What better way to spend a day off than stretched out in your favourite garden with a great book? If you haven’t read them already try The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga, The Old Devils by Kingsley Amis or Shantaram by Gregory Roberts.
Missing the footy already? Next season too far away? Invite some like-minded friends over for the afternoon, slip in a DVD of the Grand Final, and pretend it’s still September. Racing? What racing?
Beach baby
Happy trails
If the sun is shining, head to one of Melbourne’s great beaches and get your dose of sand and sea. Don’t forget the sunscreen.
If you’re more action orientated than a voyeur, head ninety minutes east of Melbourne to Noojee Horse Safaris, and ride your own horse. Trail rides vary
from beginner to advanced, two hours to two days. Check out the full day ride, it has fantastic views, great riding and a home cooked lunch thrown in for good measure. Victoria’s unofficial long weekend OK so it’s not officially a long weekend, but hands up if you’re taking the Monday off work too. Well then, make the most of the long weekend and get away from the city. Barwon Heads has cute shops and cafés,
enough pottering to pleasurably wile away a relaxed extra long weekend. Charity begins at home How much would you have spent - new clothes, headwear, champers, betting and taxis - if you’d gone to the races? Take the lot and give it to charity. Now how much better do we feel? Kate Tapping is a Melbourne writer. Follow Kate at simplicityandthecity.com

OCTOBER 20, 2011 • VOL 2, ISSUE 14
Extinct, but not forgotten By Heather Bloom with challenges from both the terrain and the townspeople as he attempts his secretive journey through Australia’s rugged countryside. Martin finds accommodation with the unresponsive Lucy (Frances O’Connor) and her two children Bike and Sass, (Finn Woodlock and Morgana Davies) in their run down shack. There he discovers several parallels between himself and the missing Jarrah , Lucy’s husband and the children’s father, who mysteriously disappeared trekking the same mountains. As Martin climbs deeper into the forest his Bear Grylls style of survival is a brutal and confronting feature of The Hunter, while his determination to remain as untouchable as the Tiger itself is one of the more chilling aspects of this psychological thriller. Dafoe plays the calculated and steely eyed Martin with quiet intensity and battles the elements and the townspeople with the cool resolve of any hardened soldier. While The Hunter does sometimes mould itself on its American counterparts, the film mostly avoids sentimental and romantic subplots. With the exception
of Martin’s dramatic change of character, the film is as understated and honest as you would expect from the local film industry. The incredible views of Tasmania are worth the ticket price alone as Martin ascends the rocky mountains of some of Australia’s most beautiful and terrifying landscapes. Sometimes shocking, deeply moving and incredibly relevant, The Hunter will have you perched on the edge of your seat in fear and anticipation. Willem Dafoe stars in The Hunter

Fair prices for theatre tickets? By Karl Shami

omplaints about the rising cost of petrol, food and general expenses is one of the most popular topics of conversation among the frugal-minded, and in these economic situations that’s just about everyone. But what about art festivals and performances? The price of admission to an opera can be upwards of $150 for premium seats, and with the arts community constantly trying to encourage younger audiences, the hefty price tag for some of the shows in the Melbourne festival could be a hard sell. Is the increased price affecting who can see the show? Is the pricing limiting who can enjoy the bigger productions? Ben Starick, Account Director at Starling Communications has been working in the arts and festival scene for a number of years and believes that the ticket prices are fair and justified. “There are a lot of international artists so I suppose when you consider ticket prices, artist fees, hiring the space, the capacity of different venues it isn’t as simple as you may think,” says Starick. “I mean you want to have something accessible but then you need to be able to cover your costs as well at the end of the day,” says Starick. That being said, generally
student tickets are often substantially cheaper than other concession prices, often half the price of a full-fare admission. For the Melbourne Festival, most of the student tickets tend to hover around the $25 mark,
“There are a lot of international artists so I suppose when you consider ticket prices, artist fees, hiring the space, the capacity of different venues it isn’t as simple as you may think,” - Ben Starick but some shows don’t even have student pricing, only concession tickets. Whiteley’s Incredible Blue, a show Starick is involved in, has no discounts for students, only a slightly cheaper general admission concession ticket. And some of the other shows have no student tickets for the best seats, and even a general concession ticket isn’t too cheap.
The Magic Flute, a South African production costs $149.90 for the most expensive ticket, and concession tickets for the best seats (A-reserve) are $97.40. This is particularly an issue for the Melbourne festival, with the international shows tending to be the more expensive, limiting who can see the shows from overseas. So how can we encourage people to come to the festival without sacrificing the quality of the performances? Starick suggests more government assistance and involvement. “To reduce ticket prices [we] should look at the support from the government and philanthropic organisations as well as being more strategic in those areas to offset the ticket prices and make them more accessible.” But with the Melbourne Festival closing at the end of the month the question will we return to affordable drama or will Christmas ensure the prices stay high?

Names will be on a guest list. Only winners will be notified.
imilar to subtitles on a film or television programme, surtitles were first introduced in January 1983 by the Canadian Opera Company and quickly followed suit by the Americans in the same year. Since then they have been a remarkably handy device not only for opera lovers who cherish music sung in its original language but also for making a range of international theatre accessible to audiences across the world. Normally hung above or to the sides of the stage surtitles offer translations of the text so that audiences who may not speak the language(s) are able to follow the narrative easily. However, the use of surtitles has not been without its controversies. Inadequate translations, lapses in time, confusions between who is speaking (especially in overlapping
conversations) and constant head bobbing may prove more frustrating than enjoyable. Indeed, many people prefer to ignore the surtitles and focus on the acting and direction of the production which if compelling enough will certainly offer much Many people find that rather than focus on the words, the movement and expressiveness of the actors allows them to follow the story especially when its a classic production. With the Melbourne International Arts Festival drawing to a close this weekend we have been privy to enjoy a range of works in multiple some with surtitles 9such as Rhinoceros in Love and some deliberately without such as the Magic Flute. In fact the latter utilized four different languages, without surtitles, and with tremendous effect. Does ‘understanding’ what the actors actually say
impart a better comprehension of the production or are we simply catering to the growing trend of instant gratification, and settling for a translation (not always exact) of what is going on? Either way, the debate over the usefulness of surtitles continues.

ustralia’s most elusive species, the enigmatic and mysterious Tasmanian Tiger, continues to intrigue scientists, tourists and locals as they debate its survival. Believed to have become extinct in 1936, the last known Tasmanian Tiger died in captivity in Hobart due to neglect and extreme weather conditions after being locked outside and unable to reach its shelter. Many years of unconfirmed sightings have resulted in the general conclusion that the Tasmanian Tiger is another unique species lost to the wilderness after decades of relentless pursuit by mankind. Yet as The Hunter discovers, the quest for the mysterious tiger is far from over. Based on Julia Leigh’s novel by the same name and produced by Vincent Sheehan who in 2010 brought audiences Animal Kingdom; The Hunter is an exceptional piece of home grown cinema starring Willem Dafoe (Spiderman, The English Patient) as Martin, a mercenary sent to hunt the last remaining Tasmanian Tiger. Dispatched from Europe to remote Tasmania by a shadowy bio tech company Red Leaf, Martin is met

seemed to be the best option!” But with over 30 years in the food and beverage industry, the majority of which have been focused on the beverage side, Costanzo is now dedicated to developing a generation of individuals eager and passionate to promote the cause for brewing better beer. Whether home, pub or microbrewers, as a consultancy organisation, Costanzo is ready to encourage Australia to raise the bar when making quality beer. “People are looking to increase their awareness of different types of beers whether premium or boutique beer, and it’s a little bit like how appreciation of the wine industry started off in this country. Beer is heading in a similar direction,” explains Costanzo. For the uninitiated into

ince Costanzo may not have started drinking until he was 23, but the former organic chemist with a Masters degree from Monash now spends the majority of his time running Costanzo Brewing Consultants, his own business that operates under the motto, “Better Brewing. Better Beer.” “I came from a sugar refining production background,” explains Costanzo who started off by working with Fosters Brewing Group in 1986 and a year later transferred to Abbotsford Brewery, the largest in the southern hemisphere at the time. “It seems to have been a natural progression though at the time when I was studying for an undergraduate degree in science, a lab technician
“Mashing - In” on a homebrewing system at the course at Brewer’s Den warehouse
the micro-brewing process, Costanzo’s summary is quite succinct: “In very simple terms the malted barley that gets crushed is mixed with water at a particular temperature, enzymes act to produce sugars that are available for the yeast and then the yeast uses the sugar and there you have it!” When starting off at home Costanzo has two options for the home brewer: “There’s two ways of making the brew,” he explains, “One is to buy the concentrated version which is a syrupy type extract with the consistency of honey and then progressively add water and yeast. Once people have developed that skill and want to get adventurous then brewing from scratch is the exciting part.” A good quality beer does need to brew between 7 and 14 days so making your own home brew is certainly a case of good things come to those who wait, with your brew being ready anywhere between 3 and 4 weeks. Costanzo’s favourite beer, unsurprisingly, is his very own self-brewed American ales; and while he has been asked plenty of times why he doesn’t start his own microbrewery, he’s quite happy playing a part in helping other people make their dreams come true. And dreams are certainly coming true with Australia rapidly developing its own industry of microbrewers, closely following behind the example of the United States where the industry is thriving. Within Australia, Costanzo admits that Melbourne currently is the hub of micro-brewing, “Although it did start off in West-

ern Australia there’s a lot more action here whether showcases, competitions, or international beer awards, it’s all happening in Melbourne.” Working in close association with Costa Nikias, the director of Beverage and Brewing Consulting, Costanzo has the perfect team to ensure that all aspects of the consultancy are complemented. “Costa is fantastic at sourcing equipment and installation and being an ex-chemist I have a strong laboratory side so am aware of the quality and consistency of beer.” Costa Nikias has also been involved in the industry for the past ten years and his area of focus is to enable people to develop a concept behind starting up a microbrewery program. “Helping people understand what their concept is, developing a marketing strategy, providing or helping source equip-
ment and helping develop recipes is all part of the package,” explains Nikias. Passionate about the freedom of brewing your own beer, Nikias encourages all those who have had a yearning towards starting their microbrewery adventure to take the first step towards a creative art form, “The beautiful thing about beer is that it is totally creative and completely flexible and allows you to be artistic in your expression – and it’s limitless. While Costanzo’s favourites include Matilda Bay, Little Creatures and Mountain Goat, he admits to being a man who drinks, for the majority, as a social activity. “The only other time would be when I’m having a barbeque and ready to have steak,” says Costanzo, “That’s when I pull out my American pale ale, but apart from that I still don’t drink much.”

Costa Nikias’s Checklist: Do you have what it takes to start your own Microbrewery? Finance: Not having enough capital can seriously undermine your efforts. 70 to 80% of all projects are halted in their infancy because of lack of capital. It’s possible to achieve your vision on a shoestring but you have to be clever about it. Have a Clear Concept: It’s not good enough to have a couple of mates and decide to let it unfold as it goes along, a long-term plan is essential. Make the most of professional consultants: Often there are several stumbling blocks ahead and having a consultant on your side who actually can help with the process, whether it be working with councils or getting the required accreditation, professional expertise will assist you in both the short and long term.

An array of vegan delights from the Veggie Kitchen banquet
The Veggie Kitchen The delightful Rosalie Chung who runs the Veggie Kitchen in Northcote is another Melbournian who is committed to healthy eating and preservativechemical-free foods. Hailing from Taiwan and having worked as a nurse for many years she realized the importance of eating well to ensure a long and happy life. Her vegetarian Taiwanese restaurant, The Veggie Kitchen is one of Melbourne’s newest restaurants, having been open for only 12 months, and is already proving itself as a brilliant alternative to the Europeaninspired vegetarian fare on the market. The delicate style of cooking employed at the Veggie Kitchen is “a blend between the flavors of China and the lightness of Japan” says Chung. Chinese medicine often uses food as the basis of healthy living, and The Veggie Kitchen has constructed their menu around this concept by preparing food using the five basic elements in Chinese medicine: metal, wood, water, fire and earth. Each element represents a different organ in the human body and each element reflects a colour

Directly opposite the Epworth hospital on Bridge road Richmond, The Tofu Shop International has been spreading the vegetarian gospel since 1982. The family run business founded by Malcolm Green is now run by his son and head chef, Louie. Having been a pioneer of the vegetarian restaurant industry, Louie attributes the success of the business to the homemade and lovingly cooked recipes and the warm atmosphere of the café. Everything from the baked tofu to the falafels and fresh salads are prepared and cooked on the premises and are free of processed ingredients you find in pre-prepared meals.
“When you eat here you leave feeling good, there’s nothing in our food that is unnatural, you leave feeling like you’ve had a good healthy meal, not heavy with chemicals,” says Green. Vegetarian and vegan eating has become increasingly popular over the past decade, and Green believes it’s caused by a general public awareness of what we are putting into our bodies. In addition, being located outside the Epworth has proved to be a remarkable opportunity for the team. Green says, “A lot of people have life-changing experiences while they’re in hospital, they beat cancer or other illnesses and it completely changes their outlook on life. They want to be healthy, live healthy and ultimately eat healthy.” The focus of health is more important to the Green than being a strict vegetarian. “I like to eat everything, as long as it’s healthy and home cooked, I’ll try it. I like rustic food.” Green also believes you should try everything “at least more than once.” “People often have a bad experience with a particular food and so never try it again, but what they don’t realize is that it may have been cooked incorrectly when they tried it the first time. I encourage people to keep trying new things, keep getting a large variety in their diet.” It seems variety really is the spice of life when it comes to healthy eating and Chef Green is testament to that. The baked tofu with fresh chili sure packs a punch but will definitely leave you asking for seconds.

Confused? Here is a glossary of commonly used Vegan/Vegetarian terms. Vegan: Person who seeks to exclude the use of animals for food, clothing, or any other purpose.

Raw Vegan: Also called living foods diet, only eats raw vegetables, fruits and grains. Beegan: Vegans who exclude all animal products except for honey. Flexitarian: Eat as Vegans when it is convenient or socially acceptable. found in natural food. By eating a color varied diet, you are supplying each particular organ with nutrients. One of the few Asian restaurants that provides an exclusive vegetarian yum cha, The Veggie Kitchen is an absolute goldmine for any one desperately searching for a traditional yum cha lunch without the pork, chicken or prawns. A vegetarian herself, Chung values the importance of a tasty alternative to the numerous meat laden Asian dishes available, and will happily cater to other dietary requirements. Chung also makes her own soy milk in The Veggie Kitchen, using soya beans and water in a completely nutritious, fat free, gluten-free and dairy-free drink. “Our soy milk is made the traditional Taiwanese way and is not as creamy as the ones in the supermarket, but is far better for you. It’s what we drink in Taiwan.” Bringing delicious healthy Taiwanese to Melbourne? Yes please!

here’s no denying it, the vegan and vegetarian trend has taken off in Melbourne and is quickly spreading through the city’s restaurants and cafés with a vengeance. With an emphasis on healthy eating and organic living, Melbournians are decreasing their ecological footprint every day by choosing a meat free, organic or gluten free way of living. Dietary restrictions like lactose intolerance or celiac disease are no longer an issue as specialised restaurants can cater for every dietary requirement you’ve heard of and possibly a few you haven’t as well! In order to get to the (organic) root of Melbourne’s vego revolution a stroll through the city streets and inner suburbs proved to be the most fulfilling way to find the freshest and finest vegan/vegetarian friendly foods available.

Colour popping accessories to get you trackside By Emily Collie
C
olour popping is fast becoming a super hot trend in Melbourne as the weather warms up. This year’s Spring Racing Carnival will see a burst of bright, bold accessories to bring an array of colour to the trackside fashion stakes. After the muted toned pastels and nudes that dominated the 2010 Spring Racing Carnival, it’s fabulous to see a trend for spring, which allows you to demonstrate your brighter side! Rich oranges, hot corals and acid yellows and every other bright colour in between will adorn the most fashionable fillies come race time.
Go loud and proud in “Fashions on the Field” with blocks of vibrant solid tones or crazy colour-confused patterns. Juxtapose opposite ends of the colour-wheel and dazzle onlookers. Try neon yellow with bright raspberry reds to splash a little summer sunshine on your style. Mix cobalt blue with lime green and touches of hot pink. Break the colour rules and be seen in blue and green. Clashing colour will instantly lift your mood and liven up your wardrobe. And don’t follow the old rule that bold colour doesn’t mix well with black. International designer labels like Prada and Versace
have led the way in creating the perfect mix of simple monos with vigorous brights, surprising us all by how modern and fresh the combo looks. Remember, the key to getting it right is mixing three to five contrasting colours in the one look. Think outside the box and work in fun combinations and don’t be afraid to have fun mixing colour, colour and more colour.
Dazzling jewellery
B
ig name celebs from Olivia Palermo to Pippa Middleton have been spotted mixing contrasting, popping colours into their wardrobes. And the easiest way to get the big mix is through your bling. Be it a stand alone statement necklace, multiple chunky bangles, a big gem ring or brilliant neon beads, splashes of bright jewellery will complete the colour pop look.
Belt it
C
inching a belt around the smallest part of your torso will emphasise and slim your natural curves. A vibrant contrasting belt, be it thick or thin, is the perfect way to introduce a chic pop of colour to any race day outfit. While maximalist colour is having its moment, be brave and go with the wrap look, or layer skinny belts for a highimpact colour palette in one ensemble. Alternatively, a low-slung belt will draw the eye to more womanly curves - the hips. Generally considered an informal style, hip-hugging belts can add a ring of colour and a finishing touch of flair for more relaxed race meets like Emirates Stakes Day.
Hatstravaganza
H
eadwear is a must on any race day during the Spring Racing Carnival. Bright coloured fascinators, headbands, flowers, hats and head scarves, what ever your choice may be, should complement your races frock. Get your headwear spinning in a flurry of colour. Be it a simple long red feather, an electric blue headband halo or a super-sized floppy hat, it should scream as the feature item of your ensemble. For those who are extra daring, splurge on a one of a kind headpiece like the Blue Valentine fascinator from Ocsar and Wild boutique in Camberwell (pictured).

pring’s explosive hues make for some seriously fancy feet. Embrace the colour trend with blockcoloured heels and wedges. High-voltage combinations such as orange and blue are the ultimate finish to a chic tailored white dress, whilst coral and gold will explode with a (not too) little black dress. Don’t forget if the sun decides to disappear behind the clouds (in typical Melbourne style), a pair of all so bright stockings will not only look fab, but also keep the chills away.

old, shout out loud clutches will work wonders with your other accessories. Colour match or colour clash with your heels or jewellery for a striking statement. Bright, single coloured clutches are coming straight from the catwalk to our stores, so you can almost certainly find the hue you desire.
In every shape and size, they are perfect to carry your coin purse, makeup essentials, mobile phone, perfume, keys ... well, maybe they can’t quite fit everything in, but they are colour popping and oh-sovery-pretty!

History of Little Bourke Street The land at the time was cheap and therefore perfect for travelling Chinese, on their way to the goldfields. The first permanent Chinese settlement
- Jo Lynch
gold digger, various businesses began to appear along the street. By the turn of the century, the gold rush was over and people started flocking to the big cities. A significant event in Chinatown’s history occurred around this time. In San Francisco, an earthquake destroyed the city’s well populated Chinatown, which inspired its Chinese residents to relocate to relatively earthquake-free Melbourne. By this time, there was a Chinese run newspaper based on Russell Street. As Chinatown’s Chinese Museum curator, Dr. Sophie Couchman explains,

“Early immigration all came from southern China, where later immigrations came from all over China and from South East Asia. These people reinvigorated the space.”
Display of documents and receipts related to Foon Kee’s, a traditional Chinese general store in Little Bourke Street
“The Chinese started coming into the area and actually establishing a more complex society in the space. There were a lot more businesses Chinese herbalists, fruit and vegetable industries, furniture making. Chinese churches were established from about the 1870s onwards. There are a number of Chinese churches in the street that are still around.” In the 1880s, immigration restrictions were placed on Chinese people coming into Victoria. By the time the 1930s and 1940s came around, with the added pressure of the White Australia Policy in full force, the Chinese community was starting to age. “They were starting to move out,” says Couchman. “At this time the last people to actually be living in the area were moving into inner city suburbs.” A little further along Little Bourke Street, department store Myer had expanded to add the street to its property resume. In 1929, Myer completed a new, 11 level store at the north side of Little Bourke Street. Over the following decades the Myer stores on Bourke Street and Lonsdale Street acquired and integrated surrounding buildings, one of which was
Little Bourke Street’s Men’s Shoe Store. As Myer’s General Manager for Corporate Affairs Jo Lynch explains, Myer does not own either the Bourke Street building or the Lonsdale Street building, “But these buildings both extend through to Little Bourke Street. The Bourke Street building is our flagship store. We reopened this store in March 2011 following a $300 million redevelopment. The Lonsdale building is currently under development with the Emporium shopping centre due for completion in 2015.”
The interior of Myer’s flagship store offers an insight into what other stores on Little Bourke may have looked like post World War 1. “Some Art Deco elements of the building, including the beautifully restored Mural Hall and the expansive Bourke Street windows have been maintained in the new Bourke Street store,” says Lynch. As the 1940s and 1950s rolled by, Myer grew and grew, while Chinatown’s aging population led to the area becoming, for want of a

ourke Street gets all the attention or so it would seem. Its parallel brother, Little Bourke Street is less famous in comparison, but by no means less relevant or fascinating. People flock from all over Australia and around the world to explore the secrets of this narrow street, whose main feature is undeniably the longest continuously operating Chinatown in the western world. In pre-gold rush days, the centre of Melbourne was focused along Elizabeth Street, rather than Swanston Street. Today what we know as the site of the Immigration Museum once welcomed boats that would dock and offload supplies to service the young city. Within this context the area where Chinatown is located today along Little Bourke would have been viewed as the outskirts – a strange concept considering how far Melbourne has expanded.

better word, decrepit. Then immigration laws started to be lifted. “More Chinese immigration started coming in, but it was a different kind of immigration,” offers Couchman. “Early immigration all came from southern China,
where later immigrations came from all over China and from South East Asia. These people reinvigorated the space.” By the 1970s, within the spirit of a multicultural policy, the government and Chinese Businessman David Wong, a
Melbourne City councillor, decided to reinvent the space as a tourist precinct and as a Chinese cultural space. “This meant themed lighting, themed archways, themed paving - that sort of thing,” says Couchman. The first works that would turn the Little Bourke Street Chinatown of pre 1980s Melbourne into the Chinatown we recognise today commenced in 1979. Interestingly enough, despite the area’s need for a makeover, a significant portion of Melbourne’s Chinese community opposed the changes. “They didn’t want to set themselves up as Chinese oddities,” asserts Couchman. “Their view was, ‘We’re Australian, we’ve been here for four generations. We don’t want people coming in and looking at us as Chinese.” In 1985, a Chinese museum opened in Little Bourke Street as part of these renovations. Today, it’s this museum that informs thousands of school children and adults alike about the history of Chinese people in Melbourne and specifically, on Little Bourke Street. The early 1980s renovations, inspired a whole new range of businesses to open on Little Bourke, one of which is Maxim Bakery. For over 20 years, the bakery has been serving delicious pastries and bakery delights to the community, establishing itself as a Chinatown stalwart. In regards to Maxim’s success, Bakery Manager Kevin Chan is certain that the location plays a big part. “There’s something about Little Bourke Street. The tourists that come down to visit,

The cakes available in Little Bourke Street are a delight for even the most discerning of tastes
along with all the local Chinese restaurants and the Melbourne and Chinese communities.” As one of the first bakeries on Little Bourke and the only one on the street today, Maxim offers a traditional approach to the art of patisserie making. “We differ from a lot of the new type of bakeries that come out,” says Chan. “We have a traditional way of doing things. The street has been a really good location for the business.” The influx of new businesses along Little Bourke in recent years is not exclusive – it’s happening all over the city. Sophie Couchman has noticed a shift in the Melbourne Chinese businesses that have
started up over the last five to ten years. “The inner city colleges, mean that there’s heaps of young, Hong Kong, young Chinese or MalaysianChinese, Indonesian-Chinese students all around the city. What they want is cheap food, fashion, they want computer games, so those sorts of businesses have come up.” In recent years, the Elizabeth Street area of Little Bourke Street has become a coffee hotspot. Mark Free is the manager of one of the Melbourne’s best coffee shops, Brother Baba Budan. “We’ve been on here about four and a half years. Since then, five or six new places have opened up and are going really well.”
Free describes the scene today as vibrant and exciting. “It’s grown out of the Hardware Lane area and spread out. It’s kind of a crossroads from the shopping district on the east side of Elizabeth Street and the business district on the west side of Elizabeth Street. It all kind of congregates here - people know that they can get something decent to eat and some decent coffee and there are good places to hang out.” As Melbourne’s population continues to swell, Little Bourke Street is sure to continue being a place where cultures mix, tradition lives and people congregate.

October 28-31. Wangaratta’s regional location means a wide number of musical acts can be found in a variety of locations; including pubs, concert halls, outdoor stages and even the local cathedral.

But at Wangaratta people have

ocated in the heart of Victoria’s food and wine region, the city Wangaratta and its surrounding area offers some of Australia’s greatest wines and scenery. Next weekend this peaceful area will be getting ready to wake up the neighbours as Wangaratta’s streets are filled with the sounds of trumpets and trombones for the annual Jazz Festival.

bands playing contemporary original music, but having said that, we do cover swing combos, bebop, free improvisation and jazz rock funk fusion there’s a whole spectrum of jazz and jazz related styles,” says Jackson. On top of the different styles of jazz music is a blues section, for those who want a quick break from the swinging tunes or just prefer the melancholy sound of a good blues bass line. The festival is also playing host to a number of local and international artists, including musicians from the United States and France. Making his first appearance in Australia is Cuban-born pianist Fabian Almazan, who has been making waves internationally for his flexible and diverse style. High school students and young musicians also get a chance to collaborate with and learn from leading artists, a key initiative of the festival. “The idea is to develop awareness and an interest in jazz among the younger generation of students, particularly in and around Wangaratta, but quite a few participants for the workshops are from out of town,” explains Jackson. Following the workshops throughout the weekend, the students get the chance to put on a free concert on the Monday to show off their new skills. And this isn’t the only way the local community gets involved, with market stalls and exhibitions all going up around the same time as the festival. “So many people get involved in the festival either through organising or volunteering, or they might have kids playing in the high-school band.” While you are there to enjoy the sounds of these amazing international and local artists, why not see what else Wangaratta has to offer? With amazing views and many scenic walking and biking paths, the Wangaratta region has plenty to do even after the Jazz festival is over. Wangaratta is home to some of Victoria’s best and biggest wineries. A new food and wine

trail, the King Valley Prosecco Road, is an amazing experience for anyone who enjoys new and interesting wine. There are six wineries along the road that offer Prosecco, but the wine itself - of the crisp and sparkling variety - is just one part of the experience. The idea behind the road is to create the Italian spirit and feel of traditional Italian wineries, something that all six of the wineries focus on. “When you head down to King Valley, it’s almost like you’re in northern Italy,” says Emma Keith, from the Wangaratta Tourism Office. “All of them joined forces to create the food and wine trail, and it’s all about the rustic Italian cuisine, the Prosecco and also the conversation between the winemaker, the Bocce, and those kinds of things.” In a similar vein, the “Pedal to Produce” aims to bring back the rustic village aesthetic to the modern world. Bike trails take you from cafes in Wangaratta (of which there are plenty) to the farms where the produce is made and also gives you a chance to meet the farmer. “For those whose main fo-
cus is food and wine, and perhaps they’re not keen cyclists, it’s a good way to feel like you’re in provincial France, except for the fact that you’re not,” says Keith. “You can cycle down to the cheese factory and taste some cheese and then cycle off to one of the parks down by the river and have a picnic.” For the history buffs out there, or those who just want to experience some local stories, Ned Kelly’s train route is located nearby, with plenty of information on historic sites found at the local tourist information centres. And since you’re already up here for the weekend, find out a bit more about the modern city, with walking tours every Saturday from 10 to 11am that focus on contemporary Wangaratta. Meet the characters that make up the modern city and create your own personalised tour. So if you do come up for the Jazz Festival, make sure you have a glass or two of Prosecco and enjoy some southern European scenery while indulging in some of the best music jazz and blues has to offer - all less than 300 km from Melbourne.

Some never grasp the concept. “Most kids start their first banking transactions while in primary school,” says Moy. Weiss asserts that money’s true meaning becomes apparent when kids learn where it comes from. “Usually when a young

ttending the Melbourne Cup or any day of the Spring Carnival can rapidly escalate into one big spending spree. For families on tight budgets, drawing the line between an occasional day of pleasure and allowing over indulgence to become a habit is important, particularly when it comes to educating your kids about using money responsibly. Trent Moy of the Commonwealth Bank General Manager of Community explains how recent research undertaken by the bank into financial literacy levels of Australians, revealed that parents were the second most popular source of financial information after “trial and error”. “Parents play a vital role in shaping the money management behaviour of their children,” says Moy. “The earlier parents educate their kids about money the better. It might begin with simply pointing out the difference between a need and a want.” The Commonwealth Bank educates young people all over Australia about the meaning of money and how it can be used responsibly. The initiative is driven by a free national program in schools called StartSmart. Through quirky characters such as Captain Super Cents, whose motto is “Speed to your needs, and wait for your wants!” young people are being exposed to invaluable

person gets a job, they start understanding what the meaning of money is, particularly because their hourly rate is usually so poor to begin with, they realise how hard it is to create money.” Along with trial and error, parents and banks, schools also inform young people about responsible spending. “Schools usually have units on basic living. Budgeting is certainly a part of that,” suggests Weiss. The trap many parents fall into when educating their kids about money, asserts Weiss, is the classic, ‘if you don’t do this for me, I’ll take away your pocket money,’ bribe. “You’re often better to use money as a cause/effect thing,” she says. “Chores for money is a good way to go – obviously no chores no money, but money as punishment is usually not worthwhile.” Such is the luxurious lifestyles Melbournians live in comparison with the rest of the world, we are blessed with the freedom to spend and spend handsomely. “We work, we make money, we spend money as a way of immediate gratification,” says Weiss. “We also spend money on our kids, because we like to allow them that immediate gratification and because we’re all so very competitive and interested in status. The peer pressure from other families and other children who say ‘well, so and so has this so I should have it too,’ is phenomenal.” Despite this, we are better educated about consumerism than ever before. This is to the benefit of future spenders. Supermarkets now list how much customers pay per gram for an item, enabling microscopic analysis of a budget. In fact, involving the kids in a budget discussion can be highly beneficial to their understanding of why sacrifices are made in some areas. “Valuing money for the necessities of everyday life is important,” explains Weiss, “and then of course valuing money through, ‘we might be able to afford a lovely holiday this year and that will be fantastic and so we’re going to use that money and work hard to have that pleasure.” Moy believes the basic skills required to successfully manage money are the same now as they have always been. “Don’t live beyond your means, be a disciplined saver and know where your money goes,” he says. “These are still important concepts that we need to teach kids today.”

Weiss concludes that charity is a really important part of developing a well rounded appreciation for money and people in general. “It’s essential
kids understand what charity is and what giving away money is - sharing money, sharing resources – just as much as it is saving money and knowing
how to preserve it and use it wisely.” When it’s allowed for in the family budget, a day at the races really is child’s play.

Mick Malthouse’s success made him a hit with fans and media alike
This is acknowledged by Malthouse, but his coaching career shows he does not let the burden of responsibility swamp him. He shows himself as, for better or worse, a supreme player manager willing to draw on the help of others and make heavy demands on players to Beat the heat at the Fitzroy Pool make success a reality.

attributed to the playing group having too much power at the expense of the coach - the tail wagging the dog, so to speak. This approach is reflected in Malthouse’s claims that dictatorial methods are often needed, within reason, to be a successful coach. But, as Malthouse admits, many of Cricket Australia’s processes are archaic and perhaps what is really at fault is a system that rewards complacency at management level reaching the playing field. In the modern age, sporting management under-performance means little when times are good because, put simply, no one is looking. This is reflected in the lack of space Malthouse devotes to his relationship with management, especially club president Eddie McGuire.
