t’s said that we are revelling in a Golden Age Ibox” of television. Where once programs on “the were seen as the poor cousins of cinema,

today it’s TV that’s getting all the plaudits.

Series such as The Sopranos, The Wire, and Mad Men first upped the ante on Hollywood with killer scripts, superb acting and glorious art direction, blazing a trail for a never-ending stream of quality series. Cue the 21st century malady of binge viewing or Netflicksiation (symptoms: constant yawning and partial paralysis, preventing one from switching off after two episodes of Shameless).

While Australia hasn’t quite managed a local answer to Breaking Bad, series such as Glitch and The Beautiful Lie have certainly raised the bar. But the Aussie series making the biggest splash is the unlikely hit Please Like Me. How did a show starring a gawky, openly gay and, it must be said, sometimes unlikeable protagonist become a cult hit in the US?

VIRGINIA TRIOLI EARNS HER BACON

bewildered by the response of so many cancer and health experts and health policy officials to news that seemed to me to be a slam dunk.

They all seemed to think that despite the conclusion that processed meat such as ham, bacon, salami etc. caused cancer – not might cause cancer, but actually did – it was just fine to go on eating it all … in moderation.

When was the last time you heard a health expert advise you to go on smoking in moderation?

As long as you had some nice, leafy greens with that fag.

Utterly bewildering.

I don’t know what part of “processed meats cause cancer” I was supposed to ignore in my now-approved moderate consumption of salted, smoked, fermented and nitrated meat. All these officials seemed to think that the decision of WHO was advisory, not unequivocal, and now I just don’t know what to do.

It’s not as if we’ve ever considered these

products health foods: we’ve probably all been waiting for the boom to be lowered on them in some way (maybe even those who manufacture the smallgoods). But I now wonder if the real change that flows from the WHO announcement will be around consumer awareness of food production and increasing calls for clean,

potentially unhealthy practices. Watch the trend around free-range eggs carefully: business models are going to fail and be remade in this one market alone.

The weekly headline cancer scare has, of course, a rich and varied history – on any given day, you can find a new one – but there is something about this WHO report that I think is going to stick. I think some, if not many, families will walk away from smallgoods, and possibly restrict the red meat in their diet even more. I think pulses and

fter very careful consideration, and after thoughtful analysis of all the facts, dangers and consequences of my actions, I decided to order the bacon.

It didn’t seem at the time as if I was biting into forbidden fruit (or taking a sneaky drag of a toxic cigarette) but of course we all know that’s exactly what I was doing when I went and ordered a slice of delicious bacon and spinach frittata the morning I shared with Australia that the World Health Organisation now considers processed meat carcinogenic.

Yes, I am a thrillseeker: I dice with death and with known food carcinogens.

Processed meat gives you cancer. That’s it: game over. Thank you, WHO, for your thorough review of hundreds of other peer-reviewed reports into the matter.

I should now not only stop ordering bacon, but it should be close to impossible to buy or order the stuff because of the authority of this august health body and its weighty conclusions.

Or, maybe not. I will admit to being utterly

chemical-free, sustainable produce. After the news was released, I was sent links to several bacon producers who sold free-range, nitrate- and chemical-free products, and I’m sure their markets will expand, not shrink.

As we continue our evolution from being high-level carnivores to more sophisticated omnivores – yes, with much more plant in our diet – we might even be prepared to pay more for better-quality food that is not the result of intensive farming and unsustainable,

legumes are going to make some impressive appearances on our tables, and I think as consumers we are going to become even more demanding and annoying than ever. And thanks be for that. Pass the prosciutto. ● Virginia Trioli is co-host of ABC News Breakfast on ABC1 and ABC News 24, 6-9am weekdays

hen comedian Josh Thomas first asked television viewers to Please Like Me in 2013, he took an odd approach to charming the masses. The series debuted with a salvo of excruciating social fiascos. His girlfriend announces he’s “probably gay”, and dumps him. He makes out with a super-hot dream guy, and then bleeds in his mouth (“the third worst thing that’s ever happened to me during sex,” he tells best friend Tom Ward). His mentally ill mother tries to kill herself with pills and booze.

As series debuts go, it doesn’t exactly scream Mainstream Appeal.

Yet Please Like Me, Josh’s sitcom based on “actual painfully awkward events”, is now in its third season and screening simultaneously on Australian and US television. It’s distributed legally in countries such as France and Israel, and illegally in less tolerant societies such as Russia and China.

The New Yorker Yorker, Time and Entertainment Weekly all named series one in their top shows of 2013 after it debuted on US cable channel Pivot. It’s been nominated for an International Emmy and won various industry awards for writing, directing and acting. And Lena Dunham, creator of the hit series Girls and New York’s reigning Voice of a Generation, declared her love for the show – and for Melbourne’s Voice of a Generation – on Twitter.

“All I ever want is to be curled in bed watching Please Like Me. This show soothes my existential unrest. I love you,” she tweeted to Josh and her 2.85 million followers in June.

It turns out Josh, and his show, are pretty likeable. And no one seems more surprised than him.

“I thought it would be more niche,” the gangly 28-year-old admits while sipping tea on the couch at his Abbotsford home.

“I guess I thought my life was, like, pretty weird. I saw my character as being a real outsider. But so many people have watched it and taken the same things away from it. Which is a shame because I really want to be eccentric, but I just can’t do it because everyone keeps telling me that they, like, understand what’s going on with that character.”

He giggles, kind of incredulously.

“Apparently everybody is having trouble with their parents.”

For those who’ve missed it – easy to do when a show is parked in the backblocks of ABC2 – Please Like Me is a funny, sad, real, not-real slice of millennial life in Melbourne.

The action centres on the house Josh shares

KENDALL HILL MEETs the voice of a generation

to like?

he show might not have survived beyond those initial six episodes without a foreign broadcaster stepping in to co-fund the next two seasons with the ABC. Pivot, the fledgling television arm of Participant Media, the Hollywood muscle behind such blockbusters as The Help and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, needed a hit to launch into American living rooms in 2013. It opened with a marathon of Please Like Me. Josh became an overnight sensation. The clumsy boy from Brissie was suddenly the face of an American network. His image was plastered on buses like a younger, gay, Australian version of Carrie Bradshaw.

Pivot president Evan Shapiro praised his “awkward genius”.

The New Yorker attributes the show’s appeal to Josh’s “diffident charisma” and the chemistry of the cast (Debra Lawrance is a standout as Josh’s bipolar mother, Rose). But perhaps it’s more visceral than that. Please Like Me portrays a world of imperfect people living imperfect lives. Misfits, the miserable and the misunderstood comprise an inner circle rather than living on the outer.

For anyone who’s ever struggled to identify with mainstream TV stereotypes, it’s a liberating, hilarious world to watch. And it feels so real. Is it?

“There’s stuff in season one that’s really real … pretty personal,” Josh says. “Like my mum’s attempted suicide, and the way I found out through those voicemail messages from my dad. But mostly it’s fiction. I get scared of saying that it’s real because so much of it is

meant for this to happen. And then we had a show. And then we did it.”

In an interview with The New York Times he gave a lovely description of what it’s like to be writer, editor, executive producer and star of the show. “Our whole set-up is the same as if an eight-year-old is baking a cake,” he explained.

“You let them bake the cake, but you need some adults around to keep the kid away from the oven and make sure that a cake comes out at the end, so the kid doesn’t cry. So I sort of do it all, but every step there’s someone making sure that I’m measuring out the ingredients properly.”

These days he’s more assertive – even directing an episode in the latest series. Each year he learns more, and it shows in the finished product.

The first episodes of series three, now showing on ABC1 (upgraded from ABC2 this season), have an emotional depth and narrative strength that wasn’t as evident before. But it’s no less daft and funny.

he Queensland-born comedian has lived in Melbourne for eight years. Initially he moved in with Tom, his schoolmate from Brisbane Boys’ College, but three years ago Tom announced he was moving out.

With his girlfriend.

“I was like, you know you’re really f---ing me?” Josh told his best mate at the time. “My boyfriend’s gonna want to move in.”

It sounds like an episode of the show, like something Josh’s commitment-phobic, emotionally blank character might say. He softens at the suggestion.

“I didn’t say you’re f---ing me,” he admits.

“I’ve got to stop making fun of my boyfriend as a joke. It’s not funny is it?”

It depends how he reacts to it, I say. If it sort of breaks him down each day … if a little bit of him dies each time you do it …

“JOSH!” he calls out to his partner, who’s in the bedroom, still sneezing. “When I make fun of you, does a little bit of you die every time?”

“WHAT?” His boyfriend – dark, handsome, massive white smile – appears in the lounge. Josh repeats the question. The other Josh dissolves into laughter.

“Yes. I’m just a shell,” he says. “Sometimes I’m crying; I don’t even know I am …”

But back to the real show. Please Like Me was “sort of, but not really” based on a stand-up routine that won its creator the best newcomer award at the 2007 Melbourne International Comedy Festival. (Two years earlier, aged 17, he was the youngest winner of the festival’s Raw Comedy competition.)

He’s not quite sure how that stand-up show morphed into this TV series. He remembers there was a meeting where his manager asked what he wanted to do next. “So I sort of said, ‘Oh. I’d like to write a sitcom’. Just, sort of, in passing. And then they took that quite seriously. Because I guess that’s what I employ them for.”

There was another meeting, with producer Todd Abbott, and then, after lots of “carrying on”, four years later the ABC gave the green light.

“And I was like, ‘‘F--k!’,” he cries, heaving with laughter at the memory. “I never really

with his two shaggy co-stars – best friend Tom Ward and John the Cavoodle – and a steady stream of friends, lovers and family.

In real life Josh lives with John the Cavoodle and his boyfriend of three-and-a-half years, who is also called Josh and also had his own sitcom, Twentysomething Twentysomething, on ABC2. Josh Schmidt now works as a cameraman, though today he is cleaning the house – and sneezing, a lot – ahead of the couple’s 12-week trip to America and England. They leave tonight.

“Together for three months. Every day.

What do you think about that?” Josh Thomas challenges me.

I have no idea. You’ve been together for so long, why should this be any different?

“Because when I get bored I become, like, quite tetchy. So you can’t let me get relaxed too much.”

But surely he knows this about you already?

“Does he? I don’t think he does.”

made up and people look at it and think my mum or dad did things that they just didn’t do.

Or are people that they just aren’t.”

His parents have the highest level of script approval, signing off on outrageous plots before each episode can be made. Josh says his father, who lives in Thailand (and really does have a Thai girlfriend, just like in the show) is definitely the more sensitive about how he’s portrayed.

“In the first season’s script, it said somewhere in the big print that Josh and dad don’t have the type of relationship where they hug hello … And he’s mentioned that every time I’ve seen him since. ‘Oh, I better hug you. I don’t want this to get in the script that I haven’t hugged you hello …’

“I don’t want you to hug me,” Josh says, in mock disgust.

His gayness is real. His mother’s depression is real. Josh has been praised for tackling issues some still find discomfiting but there’s no question of fudging such details.

“The gay stuff I never even thought about. I’m gay every day. It wasn’t that interesting to me, you know? There was never any thinking about My Life As A Political Statement.

“It’s surprising that gets brought up. It comes up a lot more than mum’s suicide attempt.

Which I think would be a more hardcore thing to have in [the script].”

Writing about his mother’s mental state was inevitable, he says.

“Everyone knows somebody who’s attempted suicide, but I never really remembered seeing it on TV in a way that wasn’t [he pauses to think] … It’s always very dramatic – somebody standing on a bridge and everyone shouting, ‘Get away from the edge!’ – but not actually about why they’re there.

“I definitely thought it would be a good thing to put in, and it’s something I sort of had a little bit of authority on because I’d lived it. And that’s why mum agreed to it.”

Rose’s illness remains central to the script both in terms of character development – TV Josh’s real-life comedian friend Hannah Gadsby joined the cast as Rose’s fellow patient and later flatmate; TV Josh meets new boyfriend Arnold in “the mental home” – and because mental disorders don’t just go away.

“It would be really easy to be, like, ‘Oh, mum’s better!’ But that’s not realistic,” he says.

“As long as the show exists she’s going to be having manic or depressive episodes that get in the way. There’s no way around it.”

Not on screen, not in real life.

Two weeks after Josh and Josh take off on holidays, Josh Thomas shoots a panicked tweet into the Twitterverse. The pair had planned to take their mothers to Disney World for nine days but US immigration authorities had other ideas.

“My mum’s US visa got rejected because she is bipolar and now she can’t come to Disney World,” he tweeted. “Help @ BarackObama? @taylorswift13? @Oprah?”

Season four in the making, surely. ● khill@theweeklyreview.com.au

THE VIBE \ Urban yet welcoming, this gem is the hidden laneway cafe you’d wish for.

THE DECOR \ Sleek black walls warmed by the cosy lighting, bonsai on your table and a mural of street-art characters. Outside, it’s all red bricks in the sunny courtyard.

THE CROWD \ A favorite with locals, a steady stream of regulars come in for a chat and a takeaway, or sit down for a coffee and five minutes’ peace.

(SCOTT McNAUGHTON)

I joined a cooking class with chef and owner Paul Wilson a few months ago, so it seems like cheating. As the cracks in our knowledge show, our breezy waitress arrives and technology becomes redundant.

We begin with the guacamole list, which contains six variations of mashed avocado.

The green goddess offering is deliciously lumpy, with spring verduras (vegetables) and topped with a spicy tomatillo verde – no prizes for interpreting that one. It’s served with cracking wedges of corn tortilla, a mainstay of the menu here, and is locally manufactured using Australian corn.

Lady Carolina is Paul Wilson’s latest venture, with Feast of Merit’s Alby Tomassi, and follows his exploration of Mexican, Peruvian and Cuban cuisine at his other ventures, Acland Street Cantina and the Latin-influenced Newmarket Hotel.

It’s spruiked as a paladar, cevicheria and pisco bar, which means a rustic, Cuban restaurant serving cured raw seafood and Peruvian brandy cocktails. The menu features Latin terms and plenty of spice. Approach it boldly and you won’t be disappointed.

Try the extraordinary storm clams with purple corn; they pack a kick of spice, a lick of lime juice, the silkiness of cured shellfish and the toothsome bite of the fleshy corn kernels that have coloured the dish a deep magenta.

6 Union Street, South Melbourne 9696 4396

THE FOOD \ A hearty selection of brunchy fare, using Grampians eggs, Noisette breads and pastries, and fresh food from nearby South Melbourne market. Try the mushrooms, with slow-roasted portobellos, grilled haloumi and poached egg.

D ON’ T MISS \ STOR M CL A MS

TES NIGHT BEST FOR \ MA Dip deeply into the vegetable offerings.

There’s barbecued broccoli with almonds, jicama (a crisp, fleshy root vegetable) and pepitas, or slow-roasted cauliflower with coconut and goji berries. Both are a riot of textures. We also tackled barbecued lamb ribs and filled zucchini flowers with glee.

THE DRINK \ The Allpress coffee is strong and tasty, or try a watermelon, apple, mint and lime cooler, which, according to Freestyle, is like a smoothie but better.

Lady Carolina’s interior is sassy, with an eclectic mix of materials and colours that give it Latino kudos. Its turf-lined rear beer garden fronting Glenlyon Road, complete with permanent taco truck, cries out for a crowd. ● LEANNE TOLRA ltolra@theweeklyreview.com.au

ne of Australia’s oldest wine regions is undergoing a renaissance. Legend has it that Mudgee was the first place in Australia that chardonnay was grown – in 1858 – from cuttings brought into Australia by James Busby in the 1830s.

Mudgee has been making wines ever since, but in the past decade has grown into a destination for lovers of food and wine. A three-and-a-half-hour drive from Sydney through the Blue Mountains, Mudgee is the third-largest region in NSW. Its name is derived from the Wiradjuri term moothi, meaning “nest in the hills”.

I had lunch with a winemaker who lived in Mudgee until recently, who described it as a “bastard of an area to grow grapes because of summer rain”.

But thanks to the region’s cool climate – it sits about 450 metres above sea level – and a range of soil types, a wide variety of grapes thrive. But two wines dominate: cabernet sauvignon and shiraz.

Chardonnay is Mudgee’s major white grape and, based on the examples I’ve tried lately, it’s very much a star on the rise.

FINE FINE

FUN

In good years, Mudgee’s shiraz is elegant and its cabernet vibrant.

We don’t see a load of Mudgee wines in Melbourne, but more and more are starting to appear.

Keep an eye out for the following producers: Lowe, Logan (its Apple Tree Flat range is great value), Yeates, Robert Oatley and Robert Stein. ● BEN THOMAS bthomas@theweeklyreview.com.au

Loaded with forest berries, briar and classy vanilla oak flavours, Logan’s Ridge Of Tears 2013 ($45) is pinot noir-like in its elegance. Silky smooth, it has fine-grained, grippy tannins and excellent concentration of flavour that pushes through a lengthy finish. 94/100 SLOW-ROASTED HERBED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS

FUN

The Gatekeeper 2013 Cabernet ($25) is made by Yeates’ Jacob Stein, a second-generation Mudgee winemaker who knows the region as well as anyone.

Bright blackberry, spice, chocolate and mint aromas lead to an effortless flow of blackcurrant, blackberry, vanilla and spice flavours. A lengthy finish adds a touch of class. 93/100

ity of Angels might be the best musical you’ve never heard of. As a warm-hearted tribute to 1940s film noir, this much-awarded American work offers two stories in one. Screenwriter Stine (Kane Alexander) is slaving away on a new film, which comes to life before us. In the “film”, he is cast as hard-boiled private eye Stone, trying to make sense of a world that keeps getting rewritten around him.

As with each of the leads, Elwood actor Amanda Harrison plays two roles in the long-awaited Melbourne premiere. Donna is working for Stine’s studio (and having an affair with the writer), while Oolie is working for Stone and helping him escape the trouble that comes with his business.

“As you read the play, you think, ‘Oh, my gosh, how is this going to work?’,” Amanda says. “There’s a lot Stine gets from Donna that he writes into Oolie. They’re like a mirror of each other, with Oolie saying things Stine thinks Donna should say.”

The two threads are staged Wizard Of Oz-style to help avoid confusion – colour for “real” life and black and white for “reel” life. But Amanda should be

up to any challenges. Her recent lead turn in the Australian production of Wicked saw her nominated for a stack of prestigious awards. She also knows her film noir, having appeared opposite Hugh Jackman in the Australian premiere of Sunset Boulevard.

“It’s a really romantic, stylish period.

The women were beautiful and always meticulously made up. There’s something nostalgic about it too, which I think people will like about this production.”

Amanda has a long history with City of Angels, having first bought the soundtrack back in 1989 (the play ran for three years on Broadway, closing in 1992) and frequently used its songs as audition pieces.

“I think the score is going to be one of those things that makes people go away saying, ‘Why haven’t we seen this show before in Australia?’ It’s so exciting that, after all this time, I’m going to be in it.” ● mbartlett@theweeklyreview.com.au » City of Angels runs November 5-8 at the Arts Centre, $35-$135 artscentremelbourne.com.au

They All Love Jack: Busting The Ripper by Bruce Robinson HarperCollins harpercollins.com.au

I’ll confess to being a little cold on the gruesome cult surrounding Jack the Ripper. For me, the appeal of this bold, convincing twist on the century-old mystery – arguing the killer was in plain sight the whole time – is that it shares a writer with Withnail & II. The writing is vituperative and poetic, pointing the finger at ongoing injustices that see the poor suffer while the rich act with absolute impunity. Robinson’s outrage is invigorating and his epic narrative as gripping as any thriller. ● SEE

re we required by law to obey the arrows that tell us which way to go inside shopping-centre carparks?

Sometimes it feels to me like the arrows might just be friendly suggestions, that we’re not really expected to follow them at all given that they don’t always correspond with the exits or the natural order of things.

Just last week I witnessed a man going bananas at a woman who backed out of her park in the opposite direction from that prescribed by the arrows. I suspect she had no choice – her massive SUV most likely would not have been able to turn the other way without causing some sort of insurance incident.

Then it all turned into a bit of a hysterical circus because, as the guy exercised his apparent right to be the judge and jury from the safety of his little Barina, she did “boo hoo, crybaby” gestures in response from behind the wheel of her big SUV.

None of this was very helpful to those of us waiting quietly in our cars behind them, although it was pretty funny. Even if the cars are backed up by five and your ice-cream is melting, it’s always good to watch a “who can be the most annoying” dance-off between grown-ups masquerading as two-year-old twits.

The things we do from behind the wheel we would never, ever dare try were we not protected by those four little tin walls. The other adult in this house, when ticked off by another motorist, does that “whoop-di-doo” thing with his hands.

I always say in response – always, because that’s what 20 years of married life does to you; it just becomes one long repetition of Pavlov dog responses, where he says or does one thing, I say another, and we go on and on like merry little groundhogs, continuing to eat the same food that gives us indigestion and staying up past midnight watching Paul Keating interviews while polishing off whatever is kept in the secret cupboard for the kids’ lunch treats, and not ever listening or learning from our mistakes … but back to the roads. Post whoop-di-doo gesture from the other adult, I will always and most reliably say, “You shouldn’t do that, it could

Aren’t we humans the most fascinating things – not just because we are not inclined to remember what happens when we eat raw onion or when we stay up past midnight on school nights doing mind-altering things like listening to Paul Keating while eating rainbow wafers, but also because once we get behind the wheel we turn from passive “excuse-me”, “very sorry”, “no, no you were here first, be my

And so it goes. So, if anyone knows the answer to my question about the arrows, feel free to let me know from the comfort of your own car, via loud toot or the rude finger. I’ll be OK with it. It’s what we humans do. ● khall@theweeklyreview.com.au

When mother-of-two Elissa Collier went online to investigate cloth nappies for her first child, she was overwhelmed. “I spent six weeks researching them and I still had no idea what they were talking about,” she says.

But, after ordering some to test, Elissa was hooked. “They were such a massive benefit for anyone who’s either wanting to save money or to protect the environment,” she says.

She opened Little Green Footprints in 2013.

“The shop was going to be a hobby for me and it’s now become two full-time jobs.”

What’s in store?

Little Green Footprints stocks 20 brands of modern cloth nappies. Elissa has tried and tested each one on her own kids.

She runs a weekly free Nappy Lab to teach parents about the nappies. The shop also sells natural wipes and skincare products, organic cotton clothing, toys, baby wraps and carriers.

Who’s buying?

Elissa’s customers are environmentally conscious, or looking to save money.

“Conventional disposable nappies take 500 years to break down, so the cost on the environment is huge,” she says. “But also you can save up to $4000 in nappies over a child’s life. That’s a massive financial benefit.” ● CLAIRE SLATTERY

nterior designer Wendy Bergman is one of Melbourne’s most sought-after creatives, thanks to the design cool she’s brought to eateries such as Bomba, Kong, Green Park and Mr Miyagi.

Enter her 1950s yellow-brick house in Blackburn North and you’ll find a much-loved and lived-in pad she’s called home for 19 years.

Wendy loves anything quirky, adores Japanese design and is charmed by art deco’s feminine curves. Together with her industrial designer husband Paul Grummisch, they’ve raised their two children [Odetta, 20, and Oliver, 18] in this love-filled home, where modern furniture, contemporary art and childhood memories live in harmony.

While Wendy’s commercial work is all about clean lines and simple design, home is where she can break rules with the decor.

In partnership with her good friend Samantha Eades at Eades & Bergman, she has worked with high-end residential clients and added style to many cool restaurants.

When not in the spotlight, Wendy prefers to be at home with her family. Her husband had a cancer scare five years ago and the couple remain close as ever – collaborating on projects inside and out of their home. ● JANE ROCCA jrocca@theweeklyreview.com.au

Here I am in kinder. I’m the one in the middle row with my hand in my mouth … third from the right.

Back then dad had a pharmacy in Maidstone and we used to live behind the shop, so I went to Maribyrnong Kindergarten.

(COURTESY OF JENNIFER KYETE)

K I N D E R D AY S

t wasn’t just because her dad was a pharmacist that Jennifer Keyte enjoyed the prescription of a healthy, happy childhood.

“I think we thrived on the simplicity of the times. They were the days when you knew all your neighbours, played with the kids in the street and it was safe as houses,” the respected Channel Seven news weekend presenter says.

One of six children of Dorothy and John Keyte, Jennifer, born in 1960, tended to fall in more with her three younger brothers, Don, Adam and Brendan, than older sisters Jill and Linda.

“I was a bit of a tomboy and I might have been a bit of a ringleader of boys and led them astray on a couple of occasions. I would get them to do the chores I had been assigned: ‘Mum said you had to do this, go on, quick, quick!’ And, I probably introduced Adam to smoking … tea leaves rolled up in newspaper – there’s a deterrent for you; it burnt your throat outrageously.

“Generally, though, Adam didn’t need any help – he was the naughty one. I remember him once getting six of the best with the

wooden spoon. We could hear whack, whack, whack and were all thinking, ‘Poor Adam, why doesn’t he learn?’ He came out dry-eyed, punching the air and going ‘Yeah! Yeah!

Yeah!’ He was wearing 10 pairs of underpants.

You’d always get a few warnings before the wooden spoon came out, but those were the times.”

The Keyte home was a modest clinker brick in Rosehill Road, Niddrie. “It was a very loud, crazy home but with six kids it was a military operation. Mum was a perfectionist and had everything running like clockwork. I remember everything being delivered: the fruit and vegies, the supermarket stuff, the milk and bread. On Sunday nights when mum wasn’t cooking, it was toasted sandwiches and tinned tomato soup around the briquette heater.

“There was a private hospital across the road from us run by Sister Von Brandenstein, who had us all a bit terrified. Occasionally I would go over there in my little nurse’s uniform with a delivery from the pharmacy and the patients would try to give me glacé fruit. It was such an old person’s treat.

Puppy carers needed!

Take care of a puppy and help change a life…

Being a Seeing Eye Dog puppy carer is possibly the most enjoyable way to volunteer.

Not only do you get to experience the joy of looking after an adorable puppy for about 12 months, without any of the associated costs – you will also enjoy the satisfaction of knowing you are assisting someone who is blind to live the life they choose.

Seeing Eye Dogs Australia is urgently in need of loving homes for puppies in your area.

Now & then “When we first moved into our house in Rosehill Road in Niddrie, it was like moving to the country.

There were rolling hills of green, which were actually full of thistles.

The roads hadn’t been made yet and when work finally began we’d play on the deserted bulldozers on the weekends.

My first KISS

All us three girls had crushes on the Turner boys, who went every year to the camp park down at Ocean Grove, like our family did. The subject of my adoration was Kevin. He was a surfer. I cried when we bought our beach house because it meant I would never see Kevin again.

CONCERT

“There was a real sense of community and dad, being the local chemist, knew everyone.

There was this lovely respect people had for dad and mum. Mum was a great role model.

After her fifth child, after Adam, mum started this group called Slimnastics and was inundated. She was always interested in nutrition and well-being so she went back to university and became involved with Vicfit.”

In 1972 the family moved to Essendon and a large Californian bungalow complete with its own bar and an impossible-to-move full-size slate billiard table.

The big attraction for Jennifer was that she got her own room.

“At last I had my own space to play my own music. Music was my first great passion.” ● SARAH HARRIS sharris@theweeklyreview.com.au » Catch 7 News daily at 6pm

HURRY, LAST CHANCE TO VIEW. LINEAR DISPLAY WILL BE CLOSING SOON.

Joe Cocker at Festival Hall. My eldest sister loved Joe Cocker so dad took us.

It was the first big concert for all of us.

I was only about 13. I found it a bit overwhelming, the noise and the crowd, but once Hitchcock Railway came on I was with it.

ALBUM

David Bowie’s Aladdin Sane. The first poster I had on my bedroom wall when I got my own bedroom was a big surfing poster, and the second poster was David Bowie.

JOB

Working for dad in the pharmacy. I got to wear the white coat and there was lots of consulting about pimple creams. But in those days people also used to use the pharmacy as a banking agency. Dad was a dispensing pharmacist and used to make his own secret lotions and potions.

CAR

H A P P Y B I R T H D AY This is my second birthday and I’m looking a little overwhelmed. Check out the wallpaper and mum with her pearls on. She always looked immaculate.

Mum was such a great role model because she did the family thing and created a whole new career for herself.

My beautiful bright yellow Triumph 2500 English sedan with walnut dash.

I had wanted to buy a Galaxie Sunliner convertible that was used in the movie Dimboola, but it was the time the oil crisis hit and it was too much of a gas guzzler. « Mum with my first car: A Triumph TC 2500. She was such a glamour puss she could even make standing by a car look elegant.

Sandringham \ 16 kilometres from the city

SANDRINGHAM \ 6 ABBOTT STREET

I

t was a 50-50 call 16 years ago on what to do with the two-storey mock Tudor house occupying a massive, overgrown block just 500 metres from Sandringham beach – to demolish, or to renovate on its “good bones”. What does a couple do when they disagree on the best course of action?

They pledge to honour a toss of the coin.

Clearly, looking at their magnificent, light-filled, much-loved house today, the coin landed the right way up.

But that was the last time anything was left to chance on this 2050-square-metre site in the 11 months of renovating the Tudor’s solid bones and the six months of landscaping its environs. First, they built a stylish backyard pavilion, open to the pool and the tennis court, to serve as the prototype to trial everything from colours and textures to hardware.

The owners’ meticulous planning and hands-on dedication paid off. The house is still ahead of the pack in offering contemporary family living and entertaining on a grand scale and with superb style, plus state-of-the-art technology inside and out.

Nothing Tudor-style can be detected in the facade. The wide frontage is replete instead with Canary Island palms, clipped hedges, a water feature, granite paving under a pergola and a porte-cochere on the semi-circular driveway.

The history is within the walls of the spacious foyer, which has cross-cut travertine flooring and a domed ceiling, and it’s in the rooms to the right – a dining room and a sitting room.

These rooms, separated by an open fireplace that is equally a statement of style and an inviting hub for winter, share four sets of french doors leading to the north-facing front garden.

On their opposite side, the back wall was removed and an old glasshouse was rebuilt as a billiard/rumpus room (with built-in bar) under a raked glass roof, becoming a fabulous light-filled extension of the sitting room.

The look and lifestyle are uncompromisingly contemporary, as these living rooms flow through to the Caesarstone kitchen, meals area and family room, all positioned to gaze out to the established back garden.

The garden paradise and the neighbourhood beyond are a visual treat for the upstairs main bedroom, a haven with a balcony, his-and-hers walk-in wardrobes, built-in joinery and an en suite. Next door, facing the street, is a large study.

Double doors separate the parents’ area from the east wing of three bedrooms, one with en suite, and a shared bathroom; downstairs on this side of the house are the garage, laundry and another bathroom with sauna.

A type of floor plan is also clear in the established, meticulously landscaped back garden, where 200 uplights, step lights and downlights cover security, safety and ambience. A lawn under a palm tree is the lunch spot; the central pavilion is a party room and a sheltered retreat; the pool and separate spa claim the sunniest spot; and the tennis court is bound by an ornamental-pear hedge. There are places for lounging, dining, barbecuing and large-scale entertaining among the manicured lillypilly balls, agave and espaliered camellias.

There’s also a water feature and a fountain, handy for when you get the urge to toss a coin. ● JACQUI HAMMERTON property@theweeklyreview.com.au

Western Australian beach houses influenced the design of this splendid residence three doors from Sandringham beach. Stone, steel and timber bones, cedar window frames, spotted gum floorboards and Carabooda limestone terracing have resulted in an earthy ambience. The front garden’s solar-heated, saltwater pool enjoys maximum sunshine, and the house fronts up with glass doors at ground level folding away to a curved deck – and a second-storey balcony mimicking the curve. In through custom-made front doors, and open-plan kitchen, dining and living areas have modern appliances and an open fireplace in a solid-stone surround. The main bedroom – with walk-in wardrobe and en suite – has french doors to the backyard. In addition to two bedrooms and a bathroom, the second storey has a study that opens to roof storage and a roomy retreat voided over living areas below. The long list of comforts includes hydronic heating, air-conditioning, ducted vacuum and surround-sound. ● KAY KEIGHERY

Twin urns stand either side of the path leading through manicured gardens to the wraparound verandah of this weatherboard Edwardian house. Double doors crowned with leadlight give way to a wide entrance hall. A squared arch leads to a lounge with original fireplace and sash windows. Plantation shutters shield the main bedroom’s windows and there’s built-in wardrobes plus a travertine en suite with shower. Of two more bedrooms, one has a fireplace while the other, across the hall, has built-in wardrobes. Open-plan air-conditioned living space stretches the width of the house at the rear, with two sets of bifold doors. There’s an entertainment unit to one side of a third fireplace. A pale stone island bench contrasts with stainless-steel benchtops along two walls in the stylish kitchen, which is equipped with Miele appliances. There’s a separate laundry, and the bathroom has a skylight and a freestanding tub. The backyard has a lawn bordered by trees, a double-door garage, a workshop and a carport. ● STEPHEN A. RUSSELL

BRIGHTON EAST \ 22 SHASTA AVENUE This contemporary house ticks all the boxes when it comes to good design, storage and great indoor and outdoor living spaces.

From the moment you arrive, the landscaped front garden and elegantly lit walkway immediately project a picture of quality and consideration.

Built a couple of years ago, the house has a floor plan that was designed to allow separate child and adult spaces.

At the front of the house is the parents’ domain. A quiet bedroom opens to a north-facing courtyard. There’s also a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite with double vanities.

Next door is a study, which has a long desk and a wall of bookshelves.

Upstairs are three bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes. They share a stylish bathroom and rumpus room.

Unlike many nearby houses, the upstairs windows have little frosting as privacy from (and for) surrounding neighbours is achieved by the established trees.

Although the rear of the house is south-facing, the architects have cleverly orientated the main living spaces to gain maximum western orientation. This ensures plenty of light, especially in the afternoon.

Glass doors open to a spectacular deck, dissolving the boundary between inside and out. Tall trees surround the heated swimming pool. ● FRANCESCA CARTER

26 THE WEEKLY REVIEW \ NOVEMBER 4, 2015

BRIGHTON \ 4 WELLINGTON GT GTON STREET Shades of sunset and the earth are reflected in the burnt sienna that makes this house stand out from its paler neighbours. The striking shade is a hallmark of the Tuscan style that informed architect Edgard Pirrotta and builder Jake Gunther in creating this villa 13 years ago. Pirrotta injected the drama he is known for, while Gunther fashioned the sturdy columns, terraces, high recessed ceilings, stone floors and elegant iron accents characteristic of the Tuscan touch.

Stand at the towering entrance and you see five consecutive arches that beckon you down the wide hallway to the pool house at the far end. But take a few steps in and you are halted by the spectacle of a domed ceiling that forces the gaze upwards.

To the left of this vestibule is a sculptural water feature framed by a large window, and to the right is the first of four large living areas, including a basement cinema.

Step down from here to the patterned parquetry floors of the vast and freshly renovated kitchen, and meals and living area that opens to the spacious poolside playground.

Two main suites with the lot are downstairs while the children’s retreat and three bedrooms are upstairs. From here, narrow carpeted stairs lead to the rooftop terrace with stunning views, not of the rolling hills and vineyards of Tuscany, but bobbing boats and waves that roll in just steps from this house. ● HARBANT GILL

Part of the fabric of St Kilda’s rich history, this turn-of-the-20th-century house, with its red brick base and green-painted gables, is in one of the suburb’s most-wanted streets. Two stunning, rose-detail stained-glass windows flank the front door. Step inside and there are intricate pressed walls in the long entrance hall. The expansive main bedroom at the front has a broad window with a deep ledge, built-in wardrobes and a fireplace that has a tall, intricately designed timber mantel. Two more bedrooms are either side of a neat bathroom. Both these rooms have skylights and corner fireplaces. The open-plan living area is at the back of the house. It has another huge skylight over the pale stone kitchen, which features a Westinghouse oven. There’s a European laundry, study nook, pull-down attic access and patio door. The north-west-facing backyard has a patio, lawn, raised deck and lock-up shed. With Dr Jekyll and Miss Jackson cafes and Mr Wolf restaurant a short stroll away, you’ll be spoiled when it comes to eating out. ● STEPHEN A. RUSSELL

This Edwardian house has been given a contemporary makeover with spectacular results. It starts with a handsome, traditional facade with period embellishments, such as tuckpointing and fretwork. An entry hall opens to the formal rooms, which have the charm of a bygone era thanks to their pressed metal ceilings, timber fireplaces and leadlight windows. The downstairs also comprises two spacious bedrooms with fireplaces. There are three more bedrooms upstairs. They share a bathroom with bright tiles. The front bedroom is a cracker and has a spacious balcony with views across Albert Park Lake. This upper level ties in seamlessly with the period architecture of the house. Back downstairs, the open-plan living and kitchen area at the rear introduces volume, air and light that complement the style of the original house. This is achieved through a palette of crisp whites, timber floors, high ceilings and a pitched roofline. Glass doors open to a landscaped courtyard bordered by silver birch trees. ● FRANCESCA CARTER

HAMPTON \ 24 IMBROS STREET Named after a Turkish island used as a World War I Anzac supply station, Imbros Street is steeped in history. Thankfully these days, the history is more about charming weatherboard houses than distant battlefronts, and No. 24 is a classic of the genre.

Its neatly manicured garden introduces a verandah and multipaned windows, which provide an attractive street presence. The appeal continues inside. The front door, surrounded by simple yet classically effective leadlight panels, opens to a central hallway. To the right is the main bedroom with an en suite and walk-in wardrobe, and to the left is a formal lounge with bay window and fireplace.

The rear of the house is taken over by an open-plan kitchen/dining/living area. The kitchen has been recently renovated and a charcoal-coloured central island bench makes a striking contrast to the surrounding creamy cabinetry. Both are finished with white stone benchtops. All the appliances are European.

Upstairs is the ideal children’s retreat.

Two bedrooms flank a central area that could be configured as a study. Add a TV and the teenaged family members might never leave. A sleek bathroom rounds out the amenities.

A welcome addition for the approaching summer is a heated, salt-chlorinated pool. The ultimate outdoor zone, it has a dining area and deck festooned with greenery. ● JAN FISHER
