How amazing, I thought, that no one here had heard of him. And so we set up one of the first Australian interviews with Steve Irwin.

Then of course there was Megan Gale, the Aussie girl who became one of the most famous and sought-after women in Italy, long before anyone back home knew who she was.

Following in their footsteps comes Lebanese-Australian Jessica Kahawaty, hardly a household name here yet a star in the Middle East, where she’s known as the Arab world’s answer to Heidi Klum.

WATCH THIS FACE ROB COLLINS \ ACTOR & SINGER

What’s the buzz?

Rob’s performance as Mufasa in the musical The Lion King melded “compassion and authority”, said The Age, while The Au Review noted his “impressive vocal talents and smooth movements”. DeciderTV’s Steve Molk praised his “great” work as hard-edged spiritual warrior Waruu in the ABC’s dreamtime sci-fi drama Cleverman.

In the beginning …

“The boy I remember was very introverted and shied from the crowd,” says Rob. He played AFL but was “a bit rubbish”. After completing a business degree, he worked for government. Songwriting was a hobby but, after joining the Australasian Performing Right Association, he was inspired by singer-songwriters Peter Garrett, Don Walker and Josh Pyke to pursue his passion. At 30, he was accepted into the National Institute of Dramatic Art. “It was like being shot out of a cannon.”

The big break …

Discovering theatre was his “great passion”, then auditioning for The Lion King opened a new world

for Rob. “I approached Mufasa as a father, which I am three times over,” says the dad of Jordan, 19, Blake, 16, and Rachael, four. But his latest role, playing The Wrong Girl’s charismatic television chef Jack Winters opposite Jessica Marais, has elevated him to a new strata of celebrity.

“I’m new to network television and being a lead male; it’s daunting.”

Where to now?

Season two of Cleverman is now in production with Rob reprising his role as Waruu West. “It’s interesting terrain, because I don’t generally gravitate to the darker aspects of characters.”

The best part about success?

“Doing fantastic projects with fantastic people in a fickle industry. I’ve had regular, steady work.”

If I could do it all again …

“In certain situations, I could have been more confident. But I wouldn’t do it differently. I’m at an ideal point, doing fantastic shows, with a family that love and support me. By sheer fluke, I’m striking that balance.” ● STEVE DOW editorial@theweeklyreview.com.au » The final episode of The Wrong Girl screens on November 16 at 8.30pm on Channel Ten. T

Look out for …

(BEN KING)

A self-described “typical small-town boy”, whose Tiwi family hails from Bathurst Island, Rob Collins was daunted when he left his Darwin home to study acting at the age 30. Seven years later he’s making a name as the male lead in The Wrong Girl.

The Wrong Girl will return to Channel Ten in 2017 for a second series. The cast has not been formally announced but it’s likely Rob will return with the series.

WHO’S THAT GIRL? SHE’S SMART, GORGEOUS & TOUTED AS THE ARAB WORLD’S ANSWER TO HEIDI KLUM. SARAH HARRIS MEETS AUSTRALIA’S JESSICA KAHAWATY

I

(SCOTT McNAUGHTON)

f there was one beauty who interrupted the preening of familiar feathers in the Birdcage at this year’s Melbourne Cup, it was Jessica Kahawaty. Heads turned as the model and television host made her first appearance in the arena, clad in a forest-green tailored sheath by designer Christopher Esber.

With her sage-grey eyes, olive skin and raven hair, Jessica possesses a cross-cultural appeal that has led to fame in the Middle East, where she’s now on track to super stardom as the Arab world’s answer to Heidi Klum.

But even before she landed the plum prime-time role as host of Project Runway Middle East, the Lebanese Australian was touted as Dubai’s It Girl. The former Miss World Australia (2012) has graced the cover of Elle and Elle Elle and Marie Claire, and has represented such prestigious brands as Rolls-Royce, Louis Vuitton, Bulgari, Dior and Fendi, yet she remains largely unknown in her home country.

Like Megan Gale, who first found fame in Italy, Jessica has become an ambassador abroad since moving to the United Arab Emirates in 2012.

“I love Megan, I think she is one of the most beautiful girls,” Jessica says of the inevitable comparison. “Nothing makes me prouder than seeing a great representation of the Aussie name.”

Although she was born and raised in Sydney’s Hills District, Jessica very nearly represented Lebanon at the Miss World pageant. The daughter of Armenian Lebanese jeweller John Kahawaty, Jessica was first crowned Miss Lebanon Australia in 2007 and became the first Lebanese Australian to win Miss Lebanon Emigrant in 2008. She was favourite to win Miss World Lebanon 2010, but in a shock outcome – and despite having the highest scores from nine judges – she finished third runner-up.

She remains diplomatic about the circumstances. She is, after all, trained in law at the University of Technology Sydney. To add to her accomplishments, she also speaks French, Arabic and Japanese and plays the piano. All this contributed to her success when she decided to pursue the Miss World title on home soil in 2012. “I think I was probably luckier that I won Miss World Australia because I was

born in Australia, I was raised here and I am actually representing all Aussies, which encompasses all nationalities. I just feel Aussie, which is that whole multicultural feeling and pride.”

Jessica was discovered at 14 after debuting in a Sydney fashion show with her Lebanese-born mother, Rita. But like many teenagers, she had issues. “I was very geeky between 14 and 17. I had massive glasses and at one stage I took to wearing yellow tinted ones like Bono.

I am actually quite blind. I have minus 6 (classed as high-degree myopia) in each eye. I had crazy curly hair and insanely skinny legs.”

She never imaged that by 18 she would be booked for big overseas campaigns, working for Maybelline in India and Pepsi Next in Japan.

Jessica last spent significant time in Melbourne training for the 2012 Miss World title, held in China, where she was ultimately second runner-up.

But the most memorable aspect of the Miss World lead-up was working to re-open a school in a remote Northern Territory Indigenous community. “Seeing that the kids had no access to education really upset me. Just because people are living on traditional lands in a traditional way does not mean they should be deprived of life’s basic rights and amenities,” the 28-year-old says. Raising awareness of human rights is one of Jessica’s key goals.

“I love everything to do with the human side of the law. I have never practised because I haven’t taken my bar exam, but I feel like I am using my understanding through charity work, fund-raising and bringing awareness to certain issues.”

To introduce Project Runway contestants to social responsibility, they were asked to design a jacket for Syrian refugees. Thousands of jackets were delivered to the camps.

“It brought a lot of light and exposure to the issue,” Jessica says. “We went to the camps and so many refugees spoke of Australia as one of the countries they would love to go to. It made me feel so helpless.

You just want everyone to have a house, be healthy, have food. What breaks me most is the children. They are born into something they have absolutely no choice or hand in.” ● sharris@theweeklyreview.com.au

Jess’ beauty tips with a difference Mix a big spoon of Manuka honey in warm water 20 minutes before breakfast. This gives you a burst of energy and it’s a great detoxifier.

Wash your face with charcoal soap. It really draws out impurities without drying your skin.

I love exfoliating my lips with cinnamon, honey and sugar. Put that on a soft toothbrush (not the one you clean your teeth with) and brush your lips. Then I use Lucas’s Papaw Ointment.

I don’t wear lipstick most of the time.

I like to use jojoba oil for my body because it so closely resembles the natural oils of our skin. A blend of almond oil, coconut oil and tea helps give my hair extra shine. ● NOVEMBER 16, 2016 \ THE WEEKLY REVIEW 7

sarah marinos MEETS ACTOR-TURNED-STORYTELLER WILLIAM MCINNES

W

eeks after the Western Bulldogs clinched an adrenalin-packed grand final, there’s still a buzz around the Whitten Oval. Fans are still wearing their red, white and blue scarves and, inside the cafe overlooking the ground, groups of fans are reliving the moment when their beloved Doggies finally grasped victory.

Dyed-in-the-wool Bulldogs fan William McInnes is still revelling in the event he never thought he’d see. He wrote an emotional newspaper article after the grand final and described being swept up in “a wonderful event that seems a little incredulous”.

He portrayed his footy team as “perennial heartbreakers” with fans loyal through thick and thin.

“For anybody who’s been told they don’t belong, or weren’t good enough, or were there just to make up the numbers, the Doggies story is there for you,” he wrote.

Today, as we stand before the EJ Whitten statue, a woman stops the actor turned writer and congratulates him on the article and on encapsulating the emotions of fans, young and old. She says it brought her to tears and the two share a moment that only Doggies supporters of old can truly understand.

“I was at the MCG and it was a pure fairy tale. I’ve never seen so many people so happy,” he says, his voice still slightly emotional. “I think many people that day were remembering people who’d left their lives. It was something much more than sport.

When football is like that it transcends the dollars and cents and becomes this wonderful piece of social fabric.”

Writing about such pieces of Australia’s social fabric is something William does well – and something he enjoys. Most recently on TV screens in SBS’s four-part drama, Deep Water, he has had a lengthy acting career Water since graduating from the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts, making his name playing Constable Nick Schultz on Blue Heelers and Max Connors in SeaChange.

Born in Redcliffe in Queensland, he studied acting in Perth before settling in Footscray 27 years ago. “I was going to do law but got into WAAPA and didn’t tell dad initially. Mum told me not to say anything because he’d go off the handle,” William recalls with a smile.

He’s fighting a fierce cold and arrives for our interview slightly late after nodding off by accident. Pulling out his wallet to buy a coffee, he realises that in his haste he’d picked up his son’s wallet instead. “If there’s one thing worse than an actor’s wallet, it’s the son of an actor’s wallet,” he says with a laugh.

“When dad found out I actually wasn’t going to Sydney to study theatre history but was off to Perth, I remember him saying, ‘No son of mine is going to be a pissed-upon actor’. He thought it was basically a bunch of dress-ups – which it is,” he continues.

“But the good thing about my old man was after a couple of minutes he’d always be fine.

“If there’s one thing I’d tell kids, it’s to trust your parents more. All they want to know is that you are content and know where you’re going and that you’ll let them know if you need a hand.”

Since November 2011, William has been single-handedly raising his two children by film director Sarah Watt, who passed away at the age of 53 after a lengthy journey with

cancer. The couple met in 1989, settled in the house in Footscray where William still lives with Clem, 23, and 18-year-old Stella. The family contemplated moving several times but Footscray was always home.

“We met when Sarah was going to a party with a girl I shared a house with. We had an argument about beer and that was the beginning,” he says. “There was something anarchic about her and she was driven and had a great work ethic but she could also be lazier than me. She was a top-shelf person and I look at the kids and see a lot of Sarah in them – including a lack of detail to housekeeping! Like their mother, they like a bit of mischief but they have a strong work ethic and they have her determination.

“Sarah could be pretty fierce, which I think is a very attractive quality in a woman.”

S

ince Sarah’s loss, William’s focus has been his kids. He has taken on theatre and TV roles based on how close the jobs are to home, and his writing has allowed him the freedom to be around for Clem and Stella. Along the way, he has accumulated two Logies and a best actor AFI award for his role in the film Unfinished Sky Sky. “My kids are nice people,” he says. “They had to sort out a lot of stuff for themselves when their mum died and that was pretty tough because she was really loved by everyone in the family. We muddled along but never really get over that … I shake my head sometimes because in Australia we

think there is a set pattern of things and a permanency. We always think there is another Christmas and a family get-together to put up with. We always have to do this and that but it just ends one day. I think when mortality has been visited upon you at the age of my children, then it’s a huge thing they have dealt with. They are good people and I’m glad they are in the world.”

He describes his latest book, Full Bore, as his ramblings on sport, pop culture and life. And the memories will resonate with anyone of a similar age. “It’s a story of lives told through objects and stuff. As the world becomes less certain, some people collect stuff because it reminds them of a time in their life – like breakfast cereal toys,” he says.

William is on a roll now, recalling the childhood treasures he accumulated that spark an avalanche of remembered good times. From Little Golden Books to comics and toys, they all merit a place in his memories and musings.

“I got a GI Joe doll as a kid – the creepiest, funniest thing. He had a kung fu grip so hung on to things and there was a knob at the back of his head that made his eyes move.

My aunty won it at a bowling-club raffle and gave it to me for Christmas during my last year of primary school.

“We teased my dad with it because it had a beard and dad hated beards. He called GI Joe that ‘bearded little voodoo bastard’.

I sometimes wonder if I have given my kids the memories my parents gave me. They were great people with generous spirits and they had a lot of fun,” he says.

“But my father was a different man.

He fought a world war, lived through a Depression, migrated here from Ireland and made a new life. He worked hard all his life. I’ve just buggered around in costumes!

Dad died when I was 28 but mum watched my career and was always surprised that it worked out. She couldn’t quite believe it.

I remember giving her my third book and she said, ‘Another tome of crap?’,” he says and bursts out laughing.

“But I know they were proud of us all. Dad would yell a lot and then he’d race in, give you a bear hug, tell you he loved you and go off screaming at someone else. I don’t know how I’ve gone with my kids. Sometimes we’re a bit like The Three Stooges – there’s noise and chaos and we’re such spuds as well. We love watching bad movies.”

Down-time hanging out on the couch is big in the McInnes household. Recently they binged on a sci-fi movie featuring a baddie who comes out of a tomb. William mimics the creature’s delighted voice and catchcry of “weapons!” and says it has become the go-to word in their home. When his daughter found a chocolate stash in the fridge, he remembers her rubbing her hands in delight and crying out “weapons!”. When their local fish and chip shop began serving banana fritters, the word came into play again.

“I like that idea of just being together and creating your own language. I was driving with Stella not long ago and I was upset – things were making me sad – and Stella began playing music and talking to me about it. She played songs her mother and I liked and some Dean Martin that I love and some David Bowie and Debussy. And we talked about it,” he says, a hint of tears welling in his eyes.

“When she got out of the car I thought what an incredibly kind thing she’d just done knowing how I felt … although she also bought me a picture of Gene Hackman in The French Connection. He’s hunched over the steering wheel of a car looking angry and she says it reminds her of me driving her to school!”

W

“My father fought a world war. He worked hard all his life. I’ve just buggered around in costumes!”

hile he loves the colour and movement of life in Footscray, he also relishes time at his second home in Mornington because it takes him back to his childhood near the beach.

“I’ll probably end up down there,” he muses. “My daughter is finishing year 12 and will probably take a gap year. Clem has finished an arts degree and is a young middle-class boofhead off to America for an adventure! He’s going to see Monument Valley where John Ford shot his westerns and he wants to drink in a bar that Ernest Hemingway drank in when he was in Cuba.

“I’ve reminded Clem that Ernest Hemingway drank in a lot of bars; he probably drank in bars in Footscray for all we know!”

While he describes himself as “a bit of a slob” and a “boofhead”, William recognises his good fortune in having regular acting offers. So what makes him take a job – apart from family-friendly hours? “Good people, a good script and good catering most importantly,” he quips.

There will be more writing – he’s working on a new novel and there are plans to turn his book Laughing Clowns into a telemovie.

And some radio work, too.

His mind wanders to some of the more bizarre jobs he’s taken.

In the late 1980s he was a life model and there was a stint as Santa in a Sydney department store. He’d just met Sarah then and remembers chasing her around the store in costume.

“I got the job after a guy whose wife died got on the turps, fell asleep under the golf clubs and peed himself,” he says.

“Sarah came into the store and told security I was stalking her and they frog-marched me out the door. I hung on to the job for a bit longer and then left in early December to do A Country Practice, but somewhere there is a family album with me as Father Christmas …” ● smarinos@theweeklyreview.com.au NOVEMBER 16, 2016 \ THE WEEKLY REVIEW 9

A friend told me that pinot gris Q grapes are red – why then are pinot gris and grigio white?

Pinot gris is a funny grape in that A respect. It’s a colour mutation of pinot noir and its grapes can be any

colour from white to dark purple – and sometimes both in a single, speckled bunch. The key to the colour of gris and grigio lies in the colour of a grape’s flesh and juice, which is white. Red wines get their colour from grape skins, which involves leaving the berries to ferment with their skins. For white wine, grapes are pressed soon after they’re picked to stop colour affecting the juice. ● GOT A QUESTION EMAIL \

Pinot gris was planted at Mount Langi Ghiran 22 years ago, which would make these some of Australia’s oldest plantings.

Its subtlety is striking – there’s a lot going on here but every element is playing the same harmonious tune. Floral pear, quince and spice aromas and flavours flow seamlessly with texture, balance and complexity. ● Enjoy with \ Thai fish cakes

Pizzini Pinot Grigio 2016 (King Valley) $21; 12.1%

Holly’s Garden Pinot Gris 2014 (Whitlands) $28; 12.5%

Pinot grigio can sometimes be a little flavourless, but Pizzini gets the balance between flavour and crisp refreshment spot-on.

Complex, layered aromas of pear, quince and white flowers are subtle and restrained. In the mouth this is all energy and refreshment, with chalky lime-flavoured grip to refreshing acid and fleshy pear flavours. ●

Balance is the hallmark of Holly’s Garden pinot gris and it’s consistently one of Australia’s best renditions. It’s grown high above the King Valley in Whitlands – about 750 metres above sea level. Floral and pretty, fresh-cut pears, white stonefruit and seductive smoky notes set an alluring tone, with a satin-like texture that leads into citrus and mineral acid. It’s delicious. ●

L E T ’ S D O B R E A K FA S T St Martin’s ● 116 Martin Street, Brighton ● 9530 6678 ● stmartinscafe.com.au THE VIBE \ The crew behind Glovers Station has a new baby, and it’s bright and bubbly.

THE DECOR \ Scandinavian-inspired, with blond wood and splashes of teal.

Big windows open out to the street, where tables on the wide footpath allow for outdoor dining.

THE CROWD \ Trendy locals in their finest casual wear fill the air with laughter and chatter. One happy punter approaches the chef, who’s peering out from the open kitchen, to congratulate him on a job well done.

YUM CHA

THE FOOD \ This cafe inspired the sudden realisation that breakfast can be a two-course affair. Why not follow up my Surf ‘n’ Turf (glazed oyster blade steak, saladaise potato, fish croquette, fried eggs and chilli caramel) with a coconut-soaked chia pudding?

PLUME \ DONCASTER

THE VERDICT

t’s a long bow to draw, but I’d like to imagine that the single plume of smoke that billowed from each of the Great Wall of China’s towers upon invasion from outsiders, could not be too far from the ones that are going to metaphorically shoot up once I tell you about the dim sum you could be having in Doncaster.

I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s been privy to the fact that the best yum cha is always in the ’burbs, but I never quite knew where.

It’s here at kitschy Plume, with its daytime-only treats of slippery rice noodle-encased Chinese doughnut and gai lan, and the sort of prawns you always hope for in your dumplings but never quite get when you’re closer to the CBD. Flavours are defined yet dainty, knifework finessed and finicky, every combination cultivated with Cantonese care.

Dishes that you’d never see unless ordering “off menu” are wheeled around willy nilly and I find myself trying everything coming my way with aplomb (and plum sauce).

I’m particularly enamoured of their sesame globes – deep-fried pastry that puffs up, coated in roasted sesame seeds, delivering a nutty, crunchy yet chewy combo that is out of this world. ● aliceinframes@theweeklyreview.com.au

NEAT DINING ROOM

A QUIET DINNER \ Many quiet dinners I have had at the HEALESVILLE HOTEL, in fine weather sitting out in the courtyard with the aromas of the rotisserie. The menu changes frequently and it’s always hard to choose. Combined with a huge selection of Yarra Valley wines, it is perfect.

COOKING \ Wombok is making its presence known in my kitchen at the moment, providing all of my cabbagey needs without the fiddly fibrousness of other varieties. T Toss with Kewpie, spring onion and carrot for an easy slaw, or slice finely and drop into broth for a nearly noodle situation. ●

WATCHING ATCHING \\ Jacques Reymond cooking at The Park House in Abbotsford is a hoot.

I loved his cheesy comte gougeres (which I still contend to be cheese puffs by another name) and scored y’all the recipe (and the video) that you can find online. ●

I’m always on a need to know basis. Get in touch: @aliceinframes #TWREat

OFF-MENU GOLD

M I LTO N LOV E S …

BRUNCH \ I love to eat brunch at HUTCH & CO in Lilydale. It is local and it has a good buzz and lots of competition for a table, in addition to great coffee, food and service.

EATING \ Palmberries … well, I guess they’re technically strawberries, but they’re the size of my palm, come from the Peninsula and have such a lovely balance of sweet & sour! Pop one in each lunchbox instead of an apple, or soak in liqueur and stack into a glorious pile for your next dinner-party dessert. ●

READING \ The girls behind one of Melbourne’s hottest destinations for eaters of plants have published a book of plant-based cookery, Smith & Daughters: A Cookbook (that happens to be vegan) (Hardie Grant, $48). Sexy and northside broody, it’s gotta make the Christmas list for the tattooed vegan in your life. ●

ABOUT TONY

A DATE \\ For a date I choose the restaurant at TARRAWARRA MUSEUM OF ART. The service is impeccably discreet, the food is a picture on the plate and I cannot go past the beautiful reserve chardonnay.

A FANCY DINNER \ Although it takes a bit of planning, how could you go past a dinner at BRAE in Birregurra? All the senses are enlightened with amazing flavours and innovation.

TO SEE & BE SEEN \ NAKED IN THE SKY is my place to be seen, with just so many cool hipsters and beautiful people. There are also lots of beautiful small plates for grazing the night away, while you and your friends chat to anyone around.

A BIG GROUP \ ROYAL TIME INDIAN RESTAURANT in Main Street, Lilydale, is where I love to meet my friends, eat great Indian food and drink Singha beer. T Tasty snacks from the tandoor and memorable curries are consistent with welcoming homely service.

“What makes me laugh is the well-observed, beautifully played-out routine where the comic takes you on a bit of a journey and fills in the characters along the way. That great skill of storytelling is very much a part of what I do. It comes from an ancient human desire to sit around and listen to stories.�

Thankfully, Bill has no shortage of tittersome tales. His new show Larks In Transit looks back across his 20 years as a globetrotting comedian, a journey that began with his very first Australian show back in 1996. “It was really the first time my comedy had been tested outside of the UK. It was quite daunting in many ways. It prompted a lot more travel and meetings and even a marriage. It was actually quite a profound event for me.�

omedian Bill Bailey has an odd confession: he doesn’t like jokes. This might come as a surprise to anyone who has seen him as a regular panellist on ABC TV’s QI or as Dylan Moran’s sparring partner in cult comedy Black Books. But the stand-up comic is quick to explain he’s talking about a very specific kind of joke. “What I hate are those hackneyed routines where people say they’re going to tell you a joke,� Bill says. “They always seem to be the same format, they always seem to involve three blokes in a pub. Those traditional jokes are the sort of things I’ve always avoided.�

For Bill, making people laugh is more about being a great storyteller than a simple gag merchant.

Ever since, Australia has been a regular stop on Bill’s global wanderings.

Indeed, we’ve become the audience he relies upon when it comes to testing out new material. “Every time I come, the audience is very responsive,� Bill says. “I think there’s a similarity between a British and an Australian sense of humour.

There’s a healthy scepticism about authority, a good dose of sticking it to the man, and a bit of self-deprecatory and absurdist humour.� � mbartlett@theweeklyreview.com.au

HOT TIX JERRY ERRY SEINFELD, HISENSE ARENA ERR AUGUST 6, 2017

FANTASTIC BEASTS & WHERE TO FIND THEM FILM Spun off from a fictional textbook read by young wizards at Hogwarts, this new fantasy adventure hopes to reboot the world of Harry Potter for seven films or so. Our hero is Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne), a magical cross between Indiana Jones and David Attenborough who scours the world for fantastical creatures. He winds up in jazz-age New York with a bottomless suitcase of critters, triggering a flare-up between the local wizards and their Muggle counterparts.

■ Opens November 17, rated CTC, 133 minutes, fantasticbeasts.com

MUSICAL

DUSTY Few icons evoke ’60s swinging London as powerfully as Dusty Springfield does.

There’s the blonde beehive, the mini-skirts and a stash of soulful hits written by the legendary Burt Bacharach. She was more or less that decade’s Adele (they appear to share a hairstylist, at the very least), quickly becoming the world’s top-selling female artist. Devised by an Australian team, this musical of her mad and rather sad life features rising musical star Amy Lehpamer as Dusty.

ONLINE \ Read Myke’s review JACK CHARLES VS THE CROWN Jack Charles has had a life more PLAY colourful than most fiction.

His entertaining one-man autobiography (accompanied by a three-piece band) takes us from his childhood as part of the stolen generation, through his work in Koori theatre in the 1970s to his rightful place as an acting legend.

■ Fairfax Studio, November 15-20, $45-$55, artscentremelbourne.com.au

THE RING CYCLE Not for the faint of heart or OPERA tender of backside, Wagner’s Ring Cycle is a four-part, 16-hour epic of operatic extravagance. Staged three times over the coming weeks, it’s Opera Australia’s largest and most ambitious production, directed by Neil Armfield. Comparisons to Lord of the Rings aren’t wholly misplaced.

Staggering length aside, it’s a tale of gods and humans, giants, valkyries, dragons and a golden ring.

■ Arts Centre Melbourne, November 21 – December 9, $30-$528, opera.org.au GERMAN FILM FESTIVA V L VA The 15th German Film Fest FESTIVAL opens across Australia this week. It features 36 films, 25 of them Australian premieres.

Highlights include road movie Goodbye Berlin, box office hit The Most Beautiful Day Day, a 3D feature from Wim Wenders and MIFF hit Toni Erdmann. There’s also classics celebrating 70 years of East German studio DEFA. ■ Palace Cinemas, November 15-30. goethe.de ●

Hygge by Charlotte Abrahams (Orion) charlotteabrahams.com

Given Denmark regularly tops world happiness polls, it’s surprising we haven’t had more self-improvement tomes about living life the Scandi way. As it is, this is a book more about self-kindness than self-improvement.

The Danish term Hygge means to celebrate simple pleasures, prioritising the moment over the future. Design journalist Charlotte Abrahams offers a personal guide to “hygging” your life in a beautifully constructed book as pleasurable to hold as it is to read.

enna Fivelman’s passion for equal opportunity started in year nine, when she befriended Romi, a special-needs student. The pair would go out for coffee, listen to music, gossip and do all the things that teenage girls do. Jenna was subsequently involved in helping the school set up a cafe that was run by the special-needs department.

“That was awesome because then it wasn’t just me who went to hang out with Romi at recess and lunchtime,” Jenna says.

“It was an opportunity for her and the other students to also make friends with other kids in the mainstream school, and from then on we became very close. She still calls me every day for a chat.”

Three years ago Jenna founded Flying Fox, where she now spends up to 30 hours a week.

Flying Fox runs camps and other programs that give young people like Romi the chance to have fun and interact with new people – something that is often overlooked in the disability sector.

“Some of these guys will have the exact same three or four friends that they see every Saturday

night,” Jenna says. “This is an opportunity to go away somewhere new and be with new people and socialise.”

The camps are packed with activities such as swimming, gardening and arts and crafts for up to 100 attendees. Everyone who assists is a volunteer, including nurses, psychologists and doctors.

Each camp costs about $30,000, so fund-raising is an ongoing challenge.

More funding would also enable Jenna to launch an accredited training program for volunteers and release a manual for others on how to set up a foundation like Flying Fox. As well as her Flying Fox work, Jenna is a full-time architecture student. She’s even found a way to combine her design skills with her interest in the disability sector through her role as a part-time access consultant, in which she advises businesses on how to make their buildings accessible to all.

“The overarching thing for me is inclusion,” she says. “Everyone has a right to be included.” ● JANE HONE

Turquoise for Jane

We try

are many moments like this that feel like a free-association exercise, with Erin helpfully writing down what I’m saying.

It turns out that turquoise is all about creative communication, which is pretty relevant to me as a writer. The session concludes with Erin applying the turquoise pomander to my wrists.

AN AUR A-SOM A SESSION The promise “A non-intrusive self-selective approach to inner self-discovery.” Celebrity exponents include Isabel Lucas and Alanis Morissette.

The pay-off The message was bang on. I also felt unusually open and articulate from the moment I entered Erin’s home.

The pain factor None.

Who should do it?

People who are at a crossroads and who need a bit of clarity and grounding.

WOULD I DO IT AGAIN?

The reality The session takes place at practitioner Erin Dockerty’s Elwood home. We sit on cushions and drink peppermint tea and consider the rainbow array of 115 bottles in front of us.

Erin explains these “equilibrium” bottles are filled with liquids that have been infused by plants and crystals. The concept of the Aura-Soma colour-care system is that each bottle carries a message, similar to a tarot card, and the person having a reading is active in choosing the bottle that appeals to them.

After a deep-breathing exercise, I scan the bottles to find the one that I “cannot go past”.

There is only one that does this, and it’s the turquoise one.

Erin asks what drew me to this colour.

When I pause to consider my feelings, I realise it symbolises freedom and clarity. There

RETAIL THERAPY LORD & LUNCHESS \ CAULFIELD NORTH

Who’s behind the counter?

It’s been a big 12 months for Aviva and Daniel Freed. The Caulfield North couple got married last November and just a few months later had both left their jobs to start work on Lord and Lunchess, an online service delivering healthy lunch boxes for school children. While neither of the 27-year-olds has worked in education or hospitality, their large family circle puts recipe feedback at their fingertips.

What’s in store?

Lord and Lunchess works on the simple premise of choosing one of four kid-tested options from their categories of Main, Fruit, Vegetable and Snack. Each vegetarian, refined-sugar-free lunch costs $9 and is delivered in the evening or the morning.

Healthy options: Aviva and Daniel Freed in the kitchen. (MICHAEL RAYNER) A AYNER)

Who’s buying?

“I have lots of cousins who have lots of kids, and they were always saying how hard and time-consuming it is to make school lunches for them,” says Aviva. While the business is young, the couple are already taking orders from local schools and look forward to reaching more families who need a quick, healthy lunch-box option. ● LEEYONG SOO

SALES PITCH

Our pick

“Making parents’ lives easier and changing the way children eat, for the better”

The $9 lunch boxes come in a variety of options, including pumpkin quinoa, fruit salad, baked sweet-potato fries and organic popcorn with melted dark chocolate (although whether parents will be able to resist that last option, so that it actually reaches the kids’ lunch boxes, is up for debate).

The wines are good, but the fortified wines are exceptional. And no need to tip your hat to moderation here; you can buy your booze by the barrel. Fill your mini-barrel

Pacdon is a local business specialising in English smallgoods. What started out as a working holiday for UK-born James Arrowsmith has turned into a business that, with the help of his wife Jane and business partner and chef Peter T Tonge, produces traditional English smallgoods. Of course there’s sausages, but their biggest sellers are traditional pork pies and black pudding. Not surprisingly, haggis is more of a niche market. The produce regularly sells at Melbourne’s farmers’ markets.

chuca could teach a few country towns how to do tourism. Of course it helps that it’s only three hours from Melbourne and on the banks of the Murray River, but there are plenty of towns you pass through on the way there that can’t hold your attention like Echuca and its twin city Moama do.

First up there’s the Murray, but the food’s excellent, the climate welcoming and the tourist attractions charming. Perhaps the highlight of these is the Port of Echuca Discovery Centre. Sounds terrifically dull right? Despite the designed-by-committee name, the centre has managed to honour Echuca’s rich paddle steamer history without any danger of the exhibits sliding into tedium.

Let’s put it this way – we found ourselves gazing with genuine interest at a display of reclaimed paddle steamer rudders.

The restored port is also an absolute gem.

It has kept its original design, avoiding the temptation to go all modern and shiny. Bonus points for no “big” attraction in sight. ● JAN FISHER jfisher@theweeklyreview.com.au

Set a little bit out of town, the resort has made the most of its semi-rural location. The villas are dotted around the resort, some facing the lush landscaped central area, but we were lucky enough to have one overlooking bushland. Wake up to the sound of kookaburras and the smell of gumtrees and at night enjoy a drink on the deck while watching the sun go down. There are pools, play areas including a water park, barbecues and large lawns. ●

The result of a bowls club that took the plunge to build a world-standard restaurant in a small town, Junction Moama is pretty distinctive outside, with a giant birdcage over a fire pit.

Even getting to the restaurant is a bit surreal. You walk past bowls club staples: bowling greens, a bistro, pokies and bars, to a luxe restaurant and lounge bar that would hold its own anywhere in the world. And the food is sensational. ●

It would be hard to ignore paddle boats at Echuca. There are many offerings, but two of the best are the dinner cruise on the MV Mary Ann and the lunch trip on the Pride of the Murray to Morrison’s Winery. The night cruise watching the riverbank slide by on the Mary Ann is, well, cruisy and the food is damn fine. You can see a bit more of the river during the day on the Pride of the Murray and enjoy lunch at Morrison’s. ●

he new E-class is, at first, all about electronics. It T has the best surround-view camera display I’ve ever used, two touch pads on the steering wheel and

his is more a cocoon than a car. One floats along, T stately as a galleon, gloriously indifferent to all the nasties outside. The feeling is especially strong

a third over the console selector wheel, five driving programs and great audio. Good for showroom demonstrations but you’ll buy the car for the way it drives which is, in two words, class-leading.

It rides beautifully and it’s only over very rough patches that you’ll begin to feel the sharp reactions of a car that is very well tied down. And you’ll only discover how well when you push it into a corner and feel it tuck in and go, smooth and efficient.

The diesel has good power off the mark and fuel economy is brilliant. The auto stop/start is generally seamless and the nine-speed auto is a ripper, good at anticipating and not calibrated to be hell-bent on fuel economy. There’s a tonne of room front and rear and a very good boot with push-button closing.

The current BMW 520d is eight grand cheaper and Audi A6s start at $90k. If you can find the extra money buy the E-class – it’s worth every cent of it. ●

while using cruise control, in which the car keeps a respectful distance from anything ahead and steers itself by reading the white lines each side, occasionally reminding you that you really should be doing a bit of the work yourself.

The electronics, initially a bit intimidating, turn out to be easy and intuitive once you get their drift – a definite improvement on the last E-Class. I love the huge LCD screens stretching across the dash, giving the most generous navigation display in the business.

You can dial up three different instrument-cluster displays: one typical of Mercedes, a sporty one and a third that makes the tachometer the star.

The 220d is surprisingly willing for a diesel and the auto is seamless; it’s a beautiful drive. And the cabin is nicely appointed and comfortable, although I’m less enthused about the fake wood along the dash and door sills. ●

PERSONAL SPACE AT H O M E W I T H V I K A B U L L

This was given to me by my parents when I was about 11.

I learnt on it and then my daughter Mafi [Mafi’iolani] learnt on it.

A few famous people have played it, but for me the most special thing was watching my daughter learn to read music and play.

HULA GIRL I found her in a junk shop in St Kilda about 20 years ago. The lady running the shop said she wasn’t for sale because she really liked her and wanted to keep her. I said, ‘Oh pleeease’ and for some reason she changed her mind.

ANGEL (SCOTT McNAUGHTON)

A

curtain of lush, almost tropical garden screens Vika Bull’s Fitzroy North home from the busy street, transforming a typical inner-city cottage into an oasis. It wasn’t always thus.

“When we bought it in 1999 it was a wreck, it was like this big party house and it smelled so bad. I walked in and said, ‘Nah’, and my husband [drummer John Watson] said, ‘Believe me, I can do something with this’, so I said, ‘OK’,” recalls the powerhouse songstress from Rockwiz, whose two stage shows celebrating Etta James and Marvin Gaye are returning to Melbourne by popular demand.

After adding an extra floor at the rear of the house, John reclaimed the large space in the front roof which is accessed through a false cupboard, like a musical Narnia. It’s where Vika rehearses and learns all her songs.

It is a house filled with warm energy, hung with original artworks by the couple’s many creative friends and is a hub for extended family. “It is filled with things that have meaning to us, that we love and make us feel comfortable and happy.” ● SARAH HARRIS sharris@theweeklyreview.com.au

PIANO

Mafi wanted a dog so we went along to the Lost Dogs Home. There was this little Pomeranian going yap, yap, yap and Mafi went for it first. I just couldn’t put up with that barking and I saw Angel sitting there and said, ‘What about this one?’ She is nearly 15 now and she’s just a terrific dog.

Join Vika storytelling through song in two shows At At Last – The Etta James Story Story on November 23 and December 3, and Let’s Get It On – The Life & Music of Marvin Gaye Gaye on November 24 at the Athenaeum Theatre.

SHELLS I just love shells, maybe it is being part islander.

I found this big shell lampshade hiding in the back of a junk shop in Northcote.

When my cousin saw it she laughed and laughed.

Apparently my aunty has one exactly the same hanging at home in Tonga.

CARVINGS

I sang on my friend David Bowers’ (aka Eugene Hamilton) new record. We did a barter. He said, ‘You sing on the record and I will do you a painting’, so he painted that bull for me. I really love it. I like the way we can use each other’s talents.

These were handed down from my grandfather to my mother and then to me. My favourite one is the monkey climbing the coconut tree. It is things like this, with history and meaning, that I treasure.

C R Y S TA L C A B I N E T

BOWL

This is my mum’s. Every time she comes to town she takes everything out, polishes and puts it all back again. There are pieces in there for me, for (sister) Linda and the grandchildren.

It is a big responsibility looking after it. We can’t play football in the loungeroom.

I gave (artist) Mark Schaller tickets to the Etta show (At Last – The Etta James Story in 2013) and he turned up the very next day with this beautiful peacock bowl. He really enjoyed the show so he just gave me that. It was such a beautiful gesture.

ringing the outdoors indoors creates an innate connection between zones. Our communion with nature contributes to spaces that encourage a sense of well-being and harmony. Haymes’ Consider palette is a “thoughtful”, organic colourway: soft pastels of blue, green and yellow paired with earthy neutrals to add lushness and productivity to workspaces.

Colour forecaster Wendy Rennie lists five ways of working with it.

● Choose colours that are soft and fresh to encourage positive feeling;

softer tones add a sense of calm.

● Use objects that look and feel organic, such as fixtures and fittings in

a rustic finish, to add a sense of casualness to a space.

● Include natural materials such as stone, wood and marble to capture

the raw beauty of the outdoors through textures and patterns.

● Plants have an impact on the way a space feels; greenery as opposed

to flowers helps to create a beautiful, fresh feel without detracting from the room.

● Greenery helps to filter the air and give that indoor-outdoor vibe. ●

BRIGHTON EAST \ 25 ROBINSON STREET

T

here are plenty of showstopper houses on Brighton’s Golden Mile, from the sumptuous and palatial to the architecturally striking to the downright quirky.

Sometimes the only thing missing is the inviting warmth of a relaxed family home.

This house, in one of the prestigious pocket’s quiet streets on the beach side of St Kilda Street, has a contemporary feel without pretentious gloss and glamour. With a dash of Daylesford and a touch of Tuscany, its classic style emphasises textural finishes in its indoor and outdoor river rock fireplaces, expanses of timber flooring, bathroom tiles and benchtops, in a cohesive palette ranging from ivory through tan to nutmeg.

It’s come a long way from its 1970s brick-veneer origins, thanks to an extension and modern overhaul in 2010. With eight children in the family and a generous open-house visitor policy, the priorities were large entertainment areas and lots of bedrooms. Standing with comfortable familiarity at the outdoor kitchen – commercial-grade fridges, barbecue, icemaker, sink and dishwasher – the vendor says: “There are 10 of us, but always 20 here on any given day … then there were the parties, birthdays, grand final day, Cup Day, Christmas, Easter.”

The undercover kitchen – along with a tiled pool plus spa within a frameless glass barrier, and a lounge area around a massive stone fireplace – is on a huge deck that fills the north side of the property, from bifold doors along the indoor living rooms to the boundary wall. A pergola supporting star jasmine creeper is made from recycled Port of Melbourne timber still adorned with old bolts.

The far end of the deck meets a cobalt blue floodlit tennis court that neatly fills the narrower rear section of the irregular block. Most of the ground floor of the house comprises a living and dining area and a lounge room flanking the kitchen. Past the lounge room is a TV area with built-in daybeds and cafe windows to an outdoor bar ledge; you can imagine quite a crowd here for the cricket on Boxing Day. The rooms merge one to the next without doors, skirting the kitchen island bench and stairs (under which is a storeroom and ladder access to a cellar). The sense of openness is complete when you glide the glass doors out of the way and see the continuity of wide-board American oak floors meeting spotted gum deck.

The kitchen’s appliance cupboard, Gaggenau ovens and Miele induction cooktop are grouped around the chef’s pantry.

A second pantry near the thoroughfare is for grab-and-go use.

At the front of the house is a light-filled study with dual-entry bathroom. At the far end is another bathroom, laundry and steam room. The stairs are in the centre of the building, arriving opposite a bathroom and a bank of cupboards. Go right to two bedrooms then the main with walk-in wardrobe and en suite facing west; go left to three more en-suited bedrooms. The end one has a balcony with a fabulous view.

The garage was converted into a homely en-suited studio with exposed trusses, but there’s room to park four cars on the return driveway behind latticed wrought-iron gates.

It’s perhaps 100 metres to the beach, which is as good a reason as the glorious outdoor entertainment area to want to be in for summer. ● JACQUI HAMMERTON property@domain.com.au

This 1970s house has had a clever renovation to suit family living. Inside are three living areas, while outside there is a covered entertainment area, swimming pool and lawn at the back, and a large private courtyard at the front. The living room and main bedroom both have access to the front courtyard. The main bedroom has an en suite with double vanities and a large walk-in wardrobe. The second bedroom has a built-in wardrobe and there’s also a study, laundry, powder room and bathroom on this level. The back of the house is dedicated to the open kitchen, living and dining area, which has a gas fireplace, and doors to that well-planned backyard. ● KIRSTIE BEDFORD

This split-level house is set into a sloping block and back from the main road. The vendor built the house nine years ago and has made the most of the 819-square-metre block, ensuring every upstairs room has sweeping views. A wide hallway runs the length of the residence on the way to the covered entertainment area and spa pool. The lower level has three bedrooms, one with an en suite. There’s a bathroom and a living area with built-in cabinetry. Upstairs, the living, kitchen and dining area gets the best of the views. The main bedroom has its own balcony, a builtin wardrobe and an en suite. A new secondary school is being built just metres away, while the house is close to the Seaview strip of shops and three golf courses. ● KIRSTIE BEDFORD

owners would find unrecognisable apart from the facade.

The floor plan is a classic of the era, with rooms opening off a central hallway ending in a living, family and kitchen area.

Unusually, carpet has been chosen over floorboards in the downstairs main bedroom and formal living area to great success, keeping both rooms cosy and warm. The main also has a walk-in wardrobe and en suite, an unthinkable luxury when this house was built.

Lawrence Street is an oddity amid Brighton’s opulent’s boulevards.

Once upon a time its cottages housed workers who toiled at the nearby mansions. Now the street is rapidly transforming to match its near neighbours, but here and there hints of that past peep through, such as this charmer at No. 29.

The kitchen and family room are light and bright and open through bifolds to the backyard.

Upstairs, it’s a teenager’s dream. Two bedrooms share a retreat with a built-in desk and a bathroom.

It’s a great combination of privacy and utility.

Classically styled gardens are kept low-maintenance with artificial turf and include built-in seating and a deck.

It’s all close to Church Street’s glamorous shopping strip and with room for one car park on-site. ● JAN FISHER

With one of Melbourne’s best parks on your doorstep and a location that’s a five-minute drive from the beach, this house offers a cornucopia of leisure options. The solidly built single-level house has four bedrooms but a flexible floor plan could add one more. Large multipaned windows in most rooms keep everything bright and sunny and a bay window in the main bedroom overlooks an established garden. Living areas include a large central sitting room with a fireplace flanked by bookshelves and an open-plan family, dining and kitchen zone. Views of the large pool that dominates the backyard are best enjoyed with a glass of wine on the deck. Luscious rose bushes and trees line a sunny lawn and the storeroom/workshop attached to the house has potential as a man cave. Dendy Park is just a few doors down the road. ● JAN FISHER

A legend in these parts, Gryphon House, conjured up by architect Simon Thornton, looks like the giant mythical beast. Appearing part eagle, part lion, the striking extension curls around the original Edwardian house. The property covers two blocks, with a north-facing deck wrapped around a pond. Inside, a snakeheaded bannister adorns the staircase. Bifold doors lead to a rear deck and there are skylights in the ceiling above the kitchen. The original structure houses a huge library. A large study or bedroom downstairs has an ornate fireplace and a desk carved from a tree trunk. There’s another study and two more bedrooms that share two bathrooms. Climb the stairs – passing a moss green-hued bedroom with sloped ceiling – to find the main bedroom, with en suite, walk-in wardrobe and balcony with spa. A secret bookcase passage leads to a rooftop nook. ● STEPHEN A. RUSSELL

The main bathroom has classic styling with maroon and cream floor tiles, a timber vanity unit and a shower over the bath. The second bathroom is reached through the laundry at the rear of the house.

Panelled half-walls and a gas log fireplace under a tiered, timber mantel lend old-world grace in the central lounge. Stretching across the rear of the singlelevel interior, the open-plan hub blends a kitchen with stone-look benchtops and stainless-steel appliances with roomy dining and family areas. Both living areas have solid timber floors.

Take a stroll down the garden path of this property to discover a charismatic Californian bungalow that has been extended and meticulously renovated.

First impressions are delightful, with twin trees in front of a tessellated-tiled verandah and the facade crowned by a shingled gable.

Behind double doors, there’s a foyer that leads to three big bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and carpet. Two look over the verandah and front garden through leadlight windows.

Glass doors link the interior to a covered terrace draped in grapevines and sized for large-scale entertaining. Those on the terrace can keep an eye on kids playing in the backyard and splashing about in the fully tiled, saltwater and solar-heated pool.

A freestanding studio or home office creates another secluded and flexible space. Ducted heating and reverse-cycle air-conditioning keep things temperate.

There’s ample storage, a cubby, shed and a garage with automatic door. Security doors and an alarm enhance peace of mind. ● KAY KEIGHERY
