MISS SUNRISE

S

amantha Armytage is coping well with fame.

Maybe there’s still a bit of the country girl in her keeping it real. Still, being on television – she’s the co-presenter of Channel Seven’s Weekend Sunrise – can change things.

“I try to make time for friends and do social things a couple of times a week, catch up with people, more than anything to keep it real, to make sure you’re hanging out with people and finding out what’s going on in the real world,” she says.

Some stars find it hard to keep it real. “Not for me, because I don’t think I get carried away with it. But at certain times of your life you’re sitting in a situation where you think, ‘Wow, this is a pretty unreal world’.

“You’re meeting incredibly famous people and the next day you’re on a plane to go to the Melbourne Cup. Then you’re back in town doing photo shoots, and you go, ‘Whoa’. (It’s important to) not to get swept up by it and not take yourself too seriously.”

She doesn’t appear to do that. Armytage has gone from a shy teenager from the Snowy Mountains to front and centre on television, in people’s living rooms at a time of the morning that lends itself to intimacy and an affectionate forgiveness for on-air stuff-ups.

She’s become Our Sam, and you get the feeling this amazing journey still slightly startles her.

I ask if she had ever overheard a conversation about herself? “I was in a café in Balmain six months ago and I heard some people at the next table say, ‘Blonde newsreader Samantha Armytage …’ I couldn’t hear what they were saying, and when you hear your name you want to hear what they’re saying.”

Did she edge closer? “Yes. But I still couldn’t hear.

And they didn’t know it was me. And you wouldn’t because I had sunglasses on. When I go to the café, it’s my gym gear on. I felt like spinning round and saying, ‘You know she’s a great girl’. But I didn’t.”

Sam Armytage is a no-nonsense type with the sort of laugh that makes whatever she’s laughing about sound

cover story

Keeping things real is what makes Weekend Sunrise co-host Samantha Armytage tick, writes PETER WILMOTH.

Armytage says. “We had winter shows and gymkhanas.

I loved Black Beauty and The Black Stallion.”

But there were city influences, too. “I got the Madonna showbag at the Cooma Show in 1985,” she says. “Black bangles, some kind of net thing you put over your head, a fluoro money pouch. I loved Madonna. I had posters of horses and Madonna. And Michael Jackson’s Thriller was the first cassette I owned.

My sister was a little bit trendier, a bit more with it.”

The Armytages had an interesting Melbourne connection. The family owned Como House in South Yarra and sold it to the National Trust in 1969.

“We’ve had family reunions; my aunt got married there,” Arymtage says. “If we were in Melbourne, we’d go in and say hello and potter around, and we kids would pretend that we still lived there.”

Her grandfather carved his initials in a window – they can still be seen today. “Grandpa went to boarding school at Geelong Grammar and would go at the weekend to Como and stay with his aunts,” Armytage says. “He stole one of their diamond rings one day and carved his initials in the attic.”

At the age of 13, Samantha Armytage was sent to boarding school in the eastern suburbs of Sydney. She’d been to Sydney only twice before and was terrified.

It was not a happy start. “I cried for a term,” she says.

“When mum and dad first sent me I felt, ‘Why are you doing this?’. Then after a term I made friends. Girls are tricky at that age, at all ages, but that age particularly.

Then you’ve got to find your little spot, and it was one of

“The chemistry has always been there but we’re really hitting our stride now where he is like a big brother … he can be like an annoying big brother but I love him.” a bit funnier. It’s a quality that has served her well as a morning television host where a lot can go wrong and a lot can be unintentionally funny.

And useful when you’re working with a classic Aussie “bloke” such as Andrew O’Keefe, with whom she has been together on screen for five years.

“The chemistry has always been there but we’re really hitting our stride now where he is like a big brother,” she says. “He can be like an annoying big brother but I love him. We get on so well on and off screen.”

Armytage grew up the eldest of three on a property outside Adaminaby, 52 kilometres out of Cooma in the Snowy Mountains; Banjo Paterson country.

“I was a very shy girl and a very polite girl,” she says.

“Ask my mother and there would be no way she would have seen me doing what I do now, which is not the most shy and polite industry.

“We were real country kids. We skied all winter; we rode horses all summer. I went to a school of 24 kids, six kids in my year. I was the school captain.”

Television didn’t play a big part in the family’s life.

“Our TV was fuzzy reception,” she says. “I remember trying to watch The Goodies. If the wind blew the wrong way and moved the aerial, we had no TV. “And we weren’t allowed to sit inside and watch TV. If you said to my father, ‘I’m bored’, he’d say, ‘There are 16,000 acres (6474 hectares) out there; I’ll see you at night-time’. We’d just get on a horse and go.”

The Armytages ran sheep and cattle, with the kids sometimes helping to muster on a motorbike. “I had posters of horses all over the walls of my bedroom,”

the best things mum and dad ever did.”

Armytage knew it was a privileged environment.

“I’d sit on the lunch lawn and we’d have our Vegemite sandwiches and we’d look up the harbour to the bridge.

As a 13-year-old you don’t fully appreciate it but every now and again you’d look up and think, ‘Wow, I’m not in Adaminaby any more, Toto’.”

She soon enjoyed school. “They were all country kids, too. We were all in the same boat. By high school I became a bit of a class clown, bit of a smart alec. But the shyness is still there underneath. I’m not that great with people I don’t know. I had to become more independent and toughen up a lot.”

After school she had a gap year in England, cooling her heels after a not-spectacular final year of school.

Then she thought maybe she’d like to be a journalist.

“I could always write and I like telling stories. And I could be funny. But I didn’t know what to do with it.”

She got a job at Sky News reporting out of Canberra, which was great experience. “It was exhausting. At Sky, I covered the bushfires, then the Iraq war, then the election. I did not stop. In the grand scheme of things, it was a really lucky start.”

In 2003, she was headhunted by Seven. After news reporting and more presenting, Armytage received a call from the executive producer of Weekend Sunrise.

“It was a Sunday morning and I was a young reporter so I was probably hungover. He said, ‘Can you get into the studio in half an hour? We just want to screen-test you next to Andrew (O’Keefe).’

“There was something on the autocue and we read

that, then we just starting chatting and laughing and being stupid, which continues to this day. In my earpiece from the control room he said, ‘I love it, you’ve got it’. I thought, ‘I’ve got what? What am I being offered’?”

Her star rose quickly. Last year she was a contestant on Dancing With the Stars. “I’ve always been quite active and quite sporty and quite co-ordinated, so I thought when I agreed to do it that I’d be better at it. And I wasn’t. Oh my God, I was bad at it. The crew used to say to me, ‘Just enjoy it’. So I did go in genuinely thinking I would just enjoy it.

“But it is actually quite a serious competition. The more it went on and the more I realised I couldn’t do it, the more I was determined to enjoy it, laugh through it and take it lightly, which I think irritated the judges.”

Still, she made it to the semi-finals. “My mother said, ‘When they announce you’re going through to the next round can you please stop rolling your eyes?’ But everybody else there wants to keep going. I didn’t need to win it. Just being part of it was enough for me.”

Armytage, 36, has been the subject of newspaper articles discussing her weight. One recent article was headlined “I lost 5kgs and a boyfriend”.

“For some reason people seem to be interested in my weight and my love life,” she says. “I think it’s because they see me as a normal girl; because I’m not that stick-skinny kind of girl that we’ve come to expect on TV. And I think that resonates with a lot of people who watch at home.

“They think, ‘That’s a normal-looking girl’. Which is terrible if there are so many skinny girls that someone who’s a size 12 and quite normal has to stand out for being normal … But I think there are a lot of girls out there like me, and on-air these days, there are a lot of girls who are more normal-looking.”

The discussion of her weight in the media was confronting for her. “It shocked me during Dancing because I had never thought of myself as being … it had just never been discussed … it was the first time my weight had ever been called into question in the newspapers. At first I was horrified, ‘Why are they all talking about my weight? Who cares?’ You get used to these things.

“You put on weight, you lose weight, it’s just the way life goes. I feel for the girls who have babies and have to be subjected to that kind of discussion in the papers because it can be very hurtful and it’s very personal.”

And TV is an unforgiving medium with nowhere to hide. Did she ever think, ‘‘Oh dear, did I just say that?’’

“Often,” she says. “It’s morning television. Most of it is not scripted. Especially with what Andrew and I do on weekends. You have to roll with it.”

She gets into make-up at 5am. “I’m OK in the mornings these days. I’ve had to become a morning person. There was a time in the early days when it was tougher to get to bed earlier. But I still do what normal people do. I go to weddings and I go out and go to dinner. I just make sure I’m in bed at a reasonable time.

Which is good. We should all be doing that.” She laughs … that self-deprecating, I’m-not-taking-myself-tooseriously laugh.

As I leave, and ponder her story, it strikes me that this infectious laugh of hers is her secret weapon and that, when we’re talking laughs, she’s having the last one. \ pwilmoth@theweeklyreview,com.au we welcome your feedback @

home dialysis When his kidneys failed more than two years ago, John Hovey had to travel to a health facility every second day after finishing work early to spend four hours hooked up to a machine.

Hovey now hooks himself up to a machine at home overnight, freeing his days so he can work full time as Geelong-based fleet general manager at McColl’s Transport.

“It’s 100 per cent better for me,” he says.

“I set it up at 8.30, 9pm and turn it off at six o’clock in the morning.”

Hovey, 45, who has polycystic kidney disease and is on the transplant waiting list, is one of many dialysis patients whose quality of life has been improved by Barwon Health’s innovative dialysis system.

Permanent renal replacement therapy is essential for those with chronic end-stage kidney failure.

Due to frailty, age or other conditions, three in four patients are unsuitable for a transplant.

Most visit health facilities every second day

for 4½-5 hours of dialysis, excluding travel time and about 60 minutes for set-up and removal.

One arm must stay still during treatment, so the most patients can do is watch TV, read or use portable electronic devices with one hand.

Hovey is one of about 8500 Australians who rely on renal dialysis.

Barwon Health treats about 140 patients at three Geelong sites and services in Colac, Lorne, Timboon, Terang, Portland and Warrnambool.

Home treatment has been around since the 1960s, but is now more efficient and patient-friendly, thanks partly to Barwon Health’s development of nocturnal dialysis, water recycling and solar power.

As a result, the Barwon region has the world’s highest home dialysis rate.

Nationally, the rate is about 10 per cent but Geelong’s rate has been 25 to 30 per cent for 10 years. In the US, it is less than 1 per cent.

Of Barwon Health’s 55 home dialysis patients, 36 use it at night for eight to nine hours four or five times per week. It takes

longer but their long-term survival rates are equal to deceased donor transplants and twice that of facility-based dialysis.

Hovey has two nights on, one night off, allowing him to live a normal life apart from being unable to travel on treatment nights.

Associate Professor John Agar, former Barwon Health director of renal services, was one of the driving forces behind the groundbreaking Geelong Hospital renal unit.

It introduced nocturnal dialysis about 12 years ago after it was developed in Toronto, Canada.

More recently, the Geelong team has been working on recycling dialysis water, which was costing home patients a fortune in water bills, and developing solar power at its dialysis facilities.

Standard systems use almost 500 litres per treatment, which equals 7.8 million litres a year in the Geelong area alone.

Barwon Health dialysis facilities now reuse some of the water for sterilising steam, some janitorial stations, toilet flushing and gardening.

Home patients can use it for laundry, dishwashing, toilet flushing, gardening and other domestic uses and animal watering on farms.

These efforts are already saving up to 100,000 litres a week.

Hovey’s machine was using 1000 litres per treatment, as home dialysis takes longer, but about 700 litres of that is now reused via a

Researchers, Agar included, are working on making the next generation of machines weigh much less.

Their goal is machines that are aeroplane hand-luggage size and truly portable, while a wearable belt is also being developed.

“There are people working, that I’m involved with, on a wearable kidney,” Agar says. “It’s actually based on a belt system.

There are a number or prototypes.”

Such developments are a decade away at best, but patients are already reaping the benefits of Barwon Health’s program, which is generating international interest tank. He would love a transplant but says the in the US, Hong Kong, South Africa home system allows him to live a normal life. and Ghana.

“My health’s as good as gold,” says the “That’s kind of cool,” Agar says. “Many father of three boys, Nick, 16, Ben, 13, and other units around Australia have Mitchell, 11. “You still live a fairly developed systems based on our active life.

Police ‘will arrest’ brewery Protesters Geelong’s police chief has warned that protesters delaying work on a $60-million development at a Geelong brewery will be arrested if they continue their blockade.

Gary Bruce, Geelong’s police inspector, said protesters at the Little Creatures site in South Geelong had been told “in no uncertain terms” not to break the law by preventing workers from entering the former mill site.

“There has been passive resistance and we have been talking to the unions,’’ he said.

However, by classifying themselves as a community picket, those involved in the blockade at Old Valley Mill site are not as easily identified as union activists.

Police members, who have their own powerful union, are always reluctant to become involved in industrial disputes, but if ordered to will meet the challenge, as was made clear at the Grocon site in August, when they clashed with CFMEU members in the CBD. Bill Shorten, the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations, has been drawn into the messy row involving a power struggle between unions and the contractor.

Little Creatures is owned by Little World Beverages, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lion, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Japanese brewer Kirin.

HAZARD ALERT

PROTECT YOUR FAMILY FROM ACCIDENTAL ASBESTOS EXPOSURES

DOES YOUR HOUSE OR BUILDING CONTAIN ASBESTOS? As many as one in three Australian homes contain asbestos, so if your house or building was built or renovated before the late 1990’s, there is a high chance that the building products may contain asbestos fibres. In Australia the use of asbestos was phased out in 1989 and surprisingly wasn’t banned entirely until December 2003. It is a well-known fact that breathing in asbestos fibres may lead to the development of lung cancer, asbestosis and mesothelioma.

Many Australians may unknowingly be putting their health and the health of their family and neighbours at risk because they are unaware of where the asbestos is located or even what it looks like and disturb

it during routine activities, maintenance or renovations. The key is to know which materials contain asbestos so you don’t accidently disturb them. To protect your family from the risk of exposure to asbestos fibres make sure you do not disturb, renovate or use any power tools on building materials unless you definitely know they are asbestos free.

The best way to find out if your home contains asbestos is to have Hazard Alert conduct an asbestos audit of your property.

We will provide you with an easy to understand report which includes the location, condition and photos of asbestos materials found at your home or building.

■ The new Geelong edition of The Weekly Review may well be a great contribution to shaping the vision many of us have for our region. But isolated initiatives (like the excellent Cartel Coffee Roasters) or grand plans (the Hull Centre) don’t create connected, healthy communities.

The people of our neighbourhoods need to be involved in a truly engaged, critical conversation about such connectedness.

Who is talking about a network of small-scale, wheelchair-accessible buses? Who argues for cheap and sustainable light-rail connections between, for instance, Corio, the CBD and Waurn Ponds?

A time limit is good in the central zone (between Yarra, Myers, Brougham and Geringhap streets), as sometimes you just want to pop into a shop for five minutes but can’t get a park.

But costs on metered parks should be halved – $1 an hour would be fair. No charge for parking after 5pm would bring more people into town to enjoy a meal.

Why not close off Malop Street (between Moorabool and Ryrie) to encourage more foot traffic?

news

Bandidos’ Boss sees HigH Court CHallenge to new Bikie Bill government CraCkdown Bikie groups are revving up for a confrontation with the state government, with a Geelong-based gang leader saying incoming legislation was discriminatory and based on guilt by association.

Kim Sloan, the head of the Geelong Bandidos and the biker clan’s national secretary, said he was monitoring the new anti-association laws and watching how they were being challenged interstate.

“It is so unbelievable, it’s so right wing, it’s so incredible that it is ridiculous,” Sloan told The Weekly Review.

As part of its pledge to crack down on crime and motorcyle gangs, the Baillieu government has introduced legislation allowing the Supreme Court to ban gangs if it is satisfied they are involved in criminal activity or pose a threat to the public.

The state government expects the anti-association laws to be passed by the year’s end.

The laws would enable the Supreme Court to declare some gangs “criminal organisations”.

The court could then issue orders banning members of that “criminal” clan from associating or participating in gang activities, including riding together and wearing their club patches and emblems. The new laws would also make similar orders from other states enforceable in Victoria.

Once a declaration has been made against an organisation, the court will be empowered to make control orders prohibiting the gang from continuing to operate, or prohibiting or restricting specified activities of the gang or its members, including prohibiting specified members from associating with or participating in gang activities.

Similar declarations and control orders will also be able to be made against individuals.

But Sloan said the laws were undemocratic and expected them to be challenged in Victoria.

“It’s an absolute joke, your own child would not be able to talk to you,” he said.

The bloody feud between the Bandidos and the Rebels, in which enforcer Ross Brand was gunned down outside the Bandidos’ 14 The weekly review \ november 29, 2012

headquarters in 2008 will ensure that there is no combined legal challenge against the laws.

The shooting came after a confrontation at the races on Geelong Cup day.

Sloan said it will be a case of wait and see for bikie clans, but he also knows that the government would be expecting a legal challenge to the laws in the High Court.

The father of four and grandfather of three said a legal challenge in the High Court appeared the only option.

“We will be hoping that they do not use it on us, but we may have no choice in the end, I guess,” he said.

Although Sloan would not talk about membership numbers, it is believed there are more than 24 rival gangs, which operate 56 clubhouses for more than 4000 members across Victoria.

The Supreme Court will be able to take action whenever it is satisfied that a gang is involved in serious criminal activity or that its members are using the organisation for serious criminal activity, and that the activities of the gang pose a serious threat to public safety and order.

Serious criminal activity will consist of systemic and organised activity involving the commission of offences carrying a sentence of more than 10 years’ jail or other specified serious offences.

Once a declaration has been made against an organisation, the court will be empowered to make control orders prohibiting the gang from continuing to operate, or prohibiting or restricting specified activities of the gang or its members, including prohibiting specified members from associating with or participating in gang activities.

Similar declarations and control orders will also be able to be made against individuals.

Solicitor Tas Roubos, who represents members of the Finks in Melbourne, said it was a case of wait and see.

“The cops have been given a free kick on this, you have to remember that a lot of bikies do not have a criminal record,” Roubos told TWR. “But I also think the cops are fighting a losing battle if they try to stop these guys associating, they will just move from their clubrooms to a pub, and what could you do if

they all attend a Collingwood-Carlton game?

“You are asking people to stop socialising with others, even though they have not broken any laws.”

He said motorcycle gangs, like any other organisation, had criminal elements and they were being singled out.

“Then you have to ask how you would stop those guys riding 50 metres apart in formation,” he said.

Roubos also knows that the state government would have been watching the laws being challenged interstate and would have tried to tie up any loopholes to prevent that happening in Victoria.

The Australian Crime Commission has found that there are almost 40 motorcycle clubs linked to criminal activities in Australia

“The cops have been given a free kick on this, you have to remember that a lot of bikies do not have a criminal record.’’ that describe themselves as outlaw motorcycle gangs (OMCGs).

Although the majority of clubs are commonly known as outlaw gangs, the commission said that OMCGs that describe themselves as the ‘‘one percenters” are the real outlaws.

If 99 per cent of motorcyclists operate within the law and society’s conventions, they see themselves as the 1 per cent who do not.

The commission found that the criminal activities of OMCGs distinguish them from many recreational motorcycle riding clubs comprised of people who get together solely for the purpose of riding their motorcycles and socialising.

OMCGs, the commission revealed, are not typical of the majority of organised-crime entities in Australia and their members do not pose more or less of an organised crime threat than many other groups and individuals.

Outlawed gangs, however, are not shrinking away to their fortified clubhouses, they are out there.

In their patched jackets, riding in formation on their grumbling Harleys, they are easily identifiable, more so than any other group involved in organised crime and are obviously an easier target to track down on the road.

In August more than 100 guns were seized by Victoria police in a show of force against OMCGs. Police raided more than 30 properties of firearms licence holders who were members of bikie gangs.

Police have the power to suspend firearm licences if they believe the licensee is unfit to hold the licence.

Assistant Commissioner of Crime Steve Fontana said at the time: “OMCG members brand themselves as one percenters … not Victoria Police, and we don’t believe it is appropriate for people with this belief to have legitimate access to firearms.

“We’ve applied the fit and proper person test and it is our opinion that one percenters don’t meet that test.’’

Gang leaders at the time said their members were unfairly targeted

news

sIGns OF THe CRIMes The Australian Crime Commission says in a report that OMCGs involved in organised crime are becoming more sophisticated to foil attempts by law enforcement agencies to keep them in check.

In a study of motorcycle gangs it found that they were expanding in size and influence.

“While OMCG members play a prominent role in Australia’s domestic production of amphetamine-type stimulants, they are also involved in other illicit drug markets, vehicle rebirthing and firearms trafficking,’’ the report said.

“Some OMCG members have demonstrated a capacity for strategic planning and their activities now include committing serious frauds, money laundering, extortion, prostitution, property crime and bribing and corrupting officials.’’

Australian OMCGs evolved from core groups of males who shared common interests, came from working-class backgrounds, were Caucasian and sought to mirror the activities of OMCGs that were established overseas (originally in the US) after the Second World War. Club members were soon expected to obey strict rules and a militaristic hierarchy that levied harsh and sometimes violent retribution for disobedience.

There is now a strong Middle Eastern presence in several OMCGs. Some gangs do not work to a constitution and others include members who do not even ride motorcycles.

However, club culture does remain predominantly masculine and women are largely excluded.

OMCGs are characterised by a hierarchy divided into different regions, each with some autonomy, also referred to as chapters. Each chapter is headed by a president who has absolute rule and oversees the principles of brotherhood, loyalty and an enforced code of silence, according to the report.

The criminal activities of OMCG members range from social nuisance in residential communities through to their involvement in some of the most significant criminal syndicates operating in Australia today.

The report said that individual gang members may leverage off the OMCG to aid their criminal activity. This may include enlisting the support of fellow members to recover debts or dissuade potential competitors; enhancing their status in criminal circles; or using the existence of chapters in different states, territories and sometimes other countries to exploit criminal opportunities.

“OMCG chapters do, however, pose a serious (if sporadic) risk to public safety because they are liable to react violently to attempts by rival OMCGs to poach their members or encroach on their territory,” the commission said. \

Women are largely excluded from clubs

He also questioned whether the Victorian government proposal to allow interstate orders to be registered and enforced in Victoria would be upheld by the courts.

“If another state decides to ban all bikie gangs, how will that be enforced in Victoria? Our Supreme Court does not have jurisdictions over another state’s decisions,” he said.

Holcroft said the government was trying to legislate for “guilt by association”.

He believed that existing criminal laws could deal with criminal offending such as drug dealing, violence offences, firearm offences, plotting to commit offences and traffic offences.

“Not all members of motorcycle clubs are criminals. Turning otherwise law-abiding citizens into criminals simply because they associate with a group is wrong and anathema to the rule of law and freedom of association,” Holcroft said.

In the fortified huts that pass as bikie headquarters across the state, the patched-up members are waiting for the government to turn up the throttle and then for the police to lay charges.

The Bandidos motto is “Our colours don’t run”, and in the latest confrontation with the state government, they and their rivals know they cannot afford to. \ PAUL MILLAR editorial@theweeklyreview.com.au

and charged with mainly minor offences.

They believed that the crackdown was politically motivated.

In the latest showdown with the establishment, the bike clans are rallying and have found a champion in the state’s peak law body.

The Law Institute of Victoria has cast doubt on the Victorian government legislation to outlaw bikie gangs, saying it is not convinced it will be legally enforceable.

Institute president Michael Holcroft said bikie legislation introduced in other states had so far proved ineffective and there was a current challenge to the Queensland legislation before the High Court. New South Wales and South Australian anti-bikie legislation has already been successfully challenged in the High Court.

He told TWR that he was concerned that the Victorian government was pushing through the laws while they were still being challenged interstate.

“I fully expect that they will look to challenge any legislation that attempts to prevent them from associating with people where no criminal activity has been found against those people,” Holcroft said.

“And we need to focus more on criminal activities, not what colours they are wearing.

“The new laws will not stamp out illegal activities and will make lawful activities, such as meeting, a criminal offence,” he added.

A

bout a year ago we moved into a new house. It’s lovely, everything is in the right place and I finally have an en suite. But in the new house, we can hear what our neighbours are up to.

Which means they can hear us, too.

In our old house, we lived next to an elderly couple.

With the exception of some strange middle-of-the-night coughing and the odd conversation about whether or not the weekly catalogues from Coles had arrived yet, we rarely heard from them at all.

But then they packed up and went off to a nursing home and a young family moved in. That’s when I realised our houses weren’t all that soundproof after all.

Our old neighbours were quiet people who may well have done nothing but read supermarket catalogues, but our new neighbours were like us – a rambunctious, out-of-control bunch.

At night, I could hear their kids running up and down on the floorboards and I’d think the noise was being made by mine, even though I knew they were asleep in bed.

It took me ages to work out whether my mind was playing tricks on me or we were being haunted by the ghosts of kids who never slept.

Every time I ran into the mum next door (who is now my friend), she’d say: “Oh my god, I am always sick with worry thinking you can hear me screaming at the kids. We are so feral.”

And I would say: “Same, same, same.”

But it’s not like that in our new house with its new neighbours.

Right now, I can hear the mum playing gleefully with her child in their backyard and – I don’t want to cast aspersions or anything – she does only have one so far, which I’m hoping is why I haven’t heard a lot of screaming. The parenting gloss hasn’t worn off yet.

But, oh, what that hopeful, happy young parent hears from me!

“Would you stop swinging that poor dog on the hammock,” and, “Don’t leave your toys outside, who do you think will bring them in later?”

And a perennial favourite – “Dinner’s ready”, followed five minutes later with, “Dinner’s ready, and if I have to say it one more time I’m feeding it to the dogs”.

Then there’ll be some other empty threat about dinner and the bin or some poor starving kids in Africa a few minutes after that.

She must be choking on her organic tofu.

All the time now, especially when I’m in the backyard, I’m having strange, out-of-body moments when, halfway through some rant, I think my neighbour may be listening.

That’s when I hear my own voice, mid-scream, and realise I sound like a tired old witch.

Maybe that’s why no one’s coming for dinner.

Years ago, we lived in Dublin, in a flat in an old nunnery. It sounds kind of romantic but it was damp and cold and there was a payphone in the hall, which says it all really.

The landlord was a thieving old snake who put a thin wall in the middle of one large room to make it two – one of which became our bedroom, the other a bedroom of the flat next door.

I know you’re probably thinking, “Oh dear, the things they must have heard, oh the hysterical shenanigans of the wild young couple next door.”

But there was no young couple next door.

Instead, there was a middle-aged man who slept all day and all night and all I could ever hear was the sound of him snoring. I was worried sick for him.

It’s not always that good to hear your neighbours, their loud conversations or their quiet ones – and sometimes it’s not that good to hear their just-plain-quiet.

But did I mention our new next door neighbours have an outdoor spa?

Running for three days and featuring 150 performances across five stages, the family-friendly event showcased the diversity and depth of Australian talent, attracting more than 7000 fans. Families could board the QMF Family Express, a 19th-century steam train with artist performances in every carriage.

THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER \ Opens November 29, Rated M » www.perks-of-being-a-wallflower.com

GLEE \ Channel Ten, Wednesday November 28, 8.30pm » www.ten.com.au

I’ve somehow managed to hitherto avoid Glee, but this week’s Grease special seemed a good occasion to take a trial session. I’m not sure I’ll be back next week, but I can now understand why it has so many dedicated fans. This is a show that is all about the fan experience.

Its cast exists to be a costume play of pop favourites – Madonna,West Side Story, Grease. Characters work through personal issues in the context of songs they’re rehearsing, as if something is only meaningful when experienced through the prism of pop culture.

Maybe this is taking the show too seriously. Certainly, Glee delights in being ridiculous, with an approach to realism that makes The Bold and the Beautiful seem like Redfern Now. But there’s something uncomfortable about seeing pop culture recycle itself so self-consciously. The first time it’s creativity, the second time mediocrity. \

Charlie (Logan Lerman) is a socially awkward teen recovering from his best friend’s suicide. Like every other teenager, he’s convinced nobody understands him, so he’s astonished to find camaraderie with a bunch of precocious outcasts, including proto-hipster Sam (Emma Watson) and her gay stepbrother, Patrick (Ezra Miller).

Set in 1991 – which isn’t immediately spelt out, leading the audience to wonder how these teenagers have even heard of a “mixtape” – Perks is fairly formulaic teen fare. It only really trips up when it strives to be different. We know Sam is edgy because she listens to the Smiths and loves The Rocky Horror Picture Show. And yet we’re supposed to believe neither she nor any of her gang has ever heard of David Bowie.

Miller is a standout as Patrick, but only if you can forget his recent turn as the eponymous psycho in We Need to Talk About Kevin. Otherwise, it’s difficult to read that mad, camp gleam in his eye as being innocent of murderous intent. Former wooden wizardess Watson is better than might be expected, generating just enough human warmth for us to believe Charlie might fall under her spell.

Skating around its darker elements, Perks is too cute to ever be confronting. Nonetheless, it’s an engaging, entertaining slice of softcore adolescence. \

top pick

gig SAN CISCO \ The Bended Elbow, 69 Yarra Street, Geelong, Friday, November 30, $23.50 » www.bendedelbow.com.au The Fremantle foursome are on the way up, so catch them while you can. Their youthful, rackety and lethally catchy pop has won them plenty of airplay here and abroad, with recent single Beach proving a hit in Britain. Having freshly returned from their first gigs in the US, San Cisco are touring nationally to support their self-titled debut album, released last week. For a young band, they have an impressive collection of tracks on offer, including Awkward, a cheeky duet that (nearly) gave Gotye a run for his money in last year’s Hottest 100. \

R&B artist Frank Ocean caused a stir a few months ago when he outed himself as bisexual before releasing his superb debut album, Channel Orange. Despite using vivid sexual imagery, American urban music tends to be extraordinarily conservative when it comes to issues of sexuality. The popular phrase “no homo” is testament to this – allowing male hip-hop artists to toy with extravagance while firmly rejecting any gay connotations.

Thankfully, a new wave of artists is challenging the relentless macho posturing and misogyny that have long characterised rap and hip-hop. A few months ago, rapper Khalif Diouf (aka Le1f) released Dark York, a 21-track mixtape that feels genuinely progressive. The beats-heavy collection (free to download from Le1f’s website) fuses edgy electronica to Diouf’s rapid-fire, near-unintelligible rapping. Murky and slightly sinister, it’s as mystifying as it is exciting. Still, it’s Diouf’s confident expression of his sexuality – mocking “straight rappers” as inferior – that marks the release as something new. The video for standout track Wut, with its playful horn percussion and bouncy vocal line, saw Diouf dancing provocatively with a man wearing nothing but a Pokemon mask.

Le1f also guests on this month’s release from transgender artist Mykki Blanco, the female persona of performer Michael David Quattlebaum jnr. As with Le1f’s work, Cosmic Angel: The Illuminati Prince/ss (also free to download) is rife with experimentation. There are elements of drum and bass, pop and psychedelica beneath flamboyant raps about hitch-hiking priestesses and Betty Rubble. It’s not as moody or, indeed, as impressive as Dark York, but it’s just as ambitious and even more determined to appear transgressive. \

BOOKs \ SUMMER’S FICTION LIST IS HOT, HOT HOT, SAYS CORRIE PERKIN

B

(thinkstock)

ooksellers have a love-hate relationship with December. Christmas trading means longer hours, crowded shops, frazzled nerves, neglected families and a scary amount of stock to dust, display straighten, sell and gift wrap.

But the upsides are plenty. As Christmas and summer get nearer, people think seriously about books – which ones to read on their beach holiday, to add to their Christmas wish-list, to give to someone special. Publishers respond to this invigorated marketplace with a raft of new titles, booksellers become excited, customers pick up the buzz and books experience a surge of consumer interest and support.

During the next three weeks, our books page will feature recommendations in three categories – fiction, non-fiction and leisure pursuits, such as gardening, design, cooking and sport. We’ll also include some terrific new kids’ books for younger bookworms – and remember, if in doubt, just ask your local bookseller for advice.

My favourite fiction title for 2012 is Hilary Mantel’s Bring up the Bodies ($32.99), the winner of this year’s Man Booker Prize. Mantel won the Booker in 2009 with Wolf Hall ($19.99), the first installment of her three-part fictional account of the life of Thomas Cromwell, Henry VIII’s right-hand man. Bring up the Bodies sees Cromwell’s brilliance in action as he devises then executes a strategy to eliminate Anne Boleyn and her family from the king’s court.

We are delighted that Ian McEwan’s new spyand-relationships novel, Sweet Tooth ($32.95), is starting to gain traction after some lukewarm local and international reviews. We greatly enjoyed this sophisticated story, set in the 1970s, about beautiful Cambridge student Serena Frome, who is recruited by MI5 to work with writers on their literary-political messages.

24 The weekly review \ november 29, 2012

New Finnish Grammar by Diego Marani ($27.99) is certain to be a local bookclub favourite in 2013.

It begins when a badly beaten man, who is left on a quay in Trieste during World War II, is rescued by a visiting German ship. The ship’s Finnish doctor decides he must teach the injured man with no memory and no language to again speak in the hope that his identity will return.

Local writer Michelle de Kretser’s new novel Questions of Travel ($39.99) moves gently across the globe and between the lives of Laura, a middle-aged Sydney travel-guide publisher, and Ravi, a Sri Lankan-born computer scientist who has been forced to flee his country. These two people are drawn together through unexpected shared responses, with travel a central theme.

Crime and thriller enthusiasts should try The Dinner by Dutch writer Herman Koch ($29.99).

First published in Holland in 2009 and recently translated into English, the story opens as brothers Paul and Serge Lohman and their wives meet at a swish Amsterdam restaurant to discuss their two sons’ connection to a terrible crime. Over dinner, past secrets are revealed in a series of curious conversations and flashbacks.

Also powerful and disturbing, New York writer Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl ($29.99) is rapidly flying up the bestseller charts – and deservedly so. Amy Dunne disappears from the marital home on her fifth wedding anniversary and her husband, Nick, becomes a suspect. A psycho-drama à la Alfred Hitchcock, Gone Girl reminds us there is no such thing as the perfect marriage.

Retired detective inspector John Rebus is back in a new Ian Rankin novel – this time, as a cold-case files consultant. Standing In Another Man’s Grave ($32.99) is a rollicking good yarn about an investigation into a series of supposedly linked disappearances. But at the novel’s heart is the testy relationship between the wily Rebus and Malcolm Fox of Edinburgh’s internal affairs unit.

Dame Stella Rimington’s MI5 operative Liz Carlyle also returns this summer in The Geneva Trap ($29.99), while fans of local author Kerry Greenwood’s Phryne Fisher will be celebrating another mystery involving the beautiful amateur sleuth and her sidekick Dot in Unnatural Habits ($22.99).

summer reading FiCTiOn

One of the most exciting debut novels this year is Norwegian by Night ($32.95) by US-born, Oslo-based international policy expert Derek B. Miller. Octogenarian Sheldon Horowitz, a Jewish watchmaker from New York who has moved to Norway to live with his only surviving relative, witnesses a terrible crime and flees Oslo. This is an inspiring and touching life-on-the-run thriller.

If you’re looking for a novel that will make you chortle, we suggest Mrs Queen Takes the Train, by Willian Kuhn ($29.99), in which a sad and nostalgic monarch decides to visit Scotland without telling her palace minders. Although it’s been on the shelves for a few months, Skios by Michael Frayn ($29.99) is a great beach read in a Greek island setting. Cases of mistaken identity among the brilliant, the rich and the famous make this a must-read for anyone in need of a good escape novel.

Also on our suggestion list: The Testament of Mary

by Colm Toibin ($19.99); The Voyage by Murray Bail ($29.99); Back to Blood by Tom Wolfe ($32.95); The Secret Keeper by Kate Morton ($35); San Miguel

by T.C. Boyle ($29.99); Two Brothers by Ben Elton ($32.95); Habits of the House by Fay Weldon ($29.99); The Casual Vacancy by J. K. Rowling ($39.95); The Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared

by Jonas Jonasson ($21.95) and The Marmalade Files

by Steve Lewis and Chris Uhlmann ($29.95) \ cperkin@theweeklyreview.com.au

\ SALLY BORNHOLT TAKES IN THE TWEED VALLEY

O

nly an hour from Surfers Paradise, the Tweed Valley might as well be on another planet.

Arriving at Gold Coast airport, head south and you will find a completely different world on the other side of the Queensland-New South Wales border.

Fifteen minutes after stepping off the plane you can be stepping on to a surfboard at Snapper Rocks, swimming with dolphins at Wommin Bay, navigating a kayak from Fingal Head to Cook Island, or getting your life’s equilibrium back on a stand-up paddle board at Kingscliff.

If you can stand up, you can stand-up paddle board, especially if your first attempt is under the guidance of a personal “guru”.

No matter how long it has been since your first tentative steps on earth, Kingscliff’s Watersports Guru, Tim Jack Adams, prides himself on being able to teach you how to repeat that small miracle on water.

It is surprisingly simple, given the starting point is a protected and gently sloping beach by the calm waters of Kingscliff’s Cudgen Creek estuary. Alternatively, it could be the guru’s expert guidance.

Mastering the fear of falling is also easy when you realise that the worst that can happen to you is a salty, blue-water bath. Balance acquired, it isn’t long before you are following the resident osprey upstream to their favourite fishing spot.

Some who master the stand-up paddle board go on to try kayaking, snorkelling, scuba diving or surfing on one of the Tweed Coast’s many unspoilt and relatively unpopulated beaches. \ editorial@theweeklyreview.com.au

The Tweed River Art Gallery is one of vISIt Australia’s most outstanding regional galleries. Just south of Murwillumbah township, this award-winning gallery hosts quality touring exhibitions and gallery-initiated exhibitions, as well as showcasing feature exhibitions by artists of the region.

An exciting phase in the gallery’s development will come with the construction of the Margaret Olley Art Centre, which will see a re-creation of the late, acclaimed artist’s Sydney home studio in recognition of her early life on the Tweed.

In November last year, the Margaret Olley Art Trust offered $1 million towards a purpose-built extension and this was soon matched by the federal government. A visit to the gallery is free, but donations are being sought to assist in planning for this new wing. \

Peppers Salt Resort and Spa

Ilnam Estate Winery

Mavis’s Kitchen and Cabins

Fins Restaurant and Bar

Peppers resort at South Kingscliff’s Salt Village is right on the beach and also surrounded by quality shops and restaurants. The resort features accommodation types for singles, couples and families. Enjoy a morning stroll along the quiet, white-sand South Kingscliff beach and a refreshing swim in the surf, or jog or cycle along Salt’s wide, tree-lined promenade before a swim in the resort’s expansive pool.

A relaxing massage in the adjacent Golden Door Spa is a great way to wind down. \

No getaway would be the same without a visit to a winery, and it is no different in the Tweed. From Kingscliff, Ilnam Estate Winery is a leisurely half-hour drive through magnificent valley views. Here you can sample crisp whites and a surprisingly wide variety of quality reds, subtly influenced by the unique climate and rich soils of Carool.

Try the popular Clara Rosé sauvignon blanc or the valley’s first Carool cabernet with a light lunch while taking in the sweeping views from the estate’s café. \

Nestled under majestic Mount Warning is a historic homestead, which is also a “must” dining experience. Set on 10 hectares, Mavis’s has expansive kitchen gardens, where the produce is also available for sale.

Quality, fresh, organic, slow food is cooked with love and flair. The menu changes with the seasons but always features free-range duck liver pate and melt-in-the-mouth Byron Bay pork loin. Owners Peter Clarke and Charlie Ebell welcome guests to Mavis’s and their pet-friendly luxury cabins and farmhouse accommodation. \

Combining quality and creativity is the hallmark of this acclaimed, Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide one-hat seafood restaurant. One of Australia’s most highly regarded chefs, Steven Snow, has created a menu inspired by his culinary journeys around the world. The seafood is often line-caught.

Whatever method of transport they utilised, almost 11,800 participants took part in Run Geelong on November 18, raised more than $500,000 for the Geelong Hospital Children’s Ward.

With a best-dressed prize up for grabs, outrageous outfits trumped comfort and breathability for many entrants. Young men donned full tutus and girls were in Hollywood-style police uniforms. Entrants in fully bodysuits were in all shapes and sizes, some in alligator or elephant outfits, others in faceless, body-hugging tuxedos.

Australia’s biggest regional fun run was wheelchair-friendly for the first time.

Paralympian and local Richard Colman joined Geelong AFL captain Joel Selwood and Melbourne Vixens netball team vice-captain Madison Browne as ambassadors. \ lexi cottee

The last time she was at the sprints she was there to watch her grandmother, the late Diana Gaze, in “the little 1928 Alfa” she used to race.

“When I was at boarding school at Geelong Grammar she used to pick me up,” Claire says. “I used to be in her sort of pit crew.”

She wants to compete in the trials in honour of her grandmother who died in August, aged 87.

“I’m excitedly nervous. But I’m just wanting to make sure I can honour my grandmother the best way I can, which is about getting out there and having a go,” Claire says.

The family sold “the little Alfa” four years ago to Trevor “Monty” Montomery, of Benalla, who plans to bring the car down to Geelong at the weekend.

“I think he is competing, but the car’s definitely going to be down here,” says Claire enthusiastically.

“Hopefully, I’m going to get an opportunity to get in that car with him.”

Claire’s father, Chris Davison, says his mother and Claire were close. Just before she died she told her granddaughter: “I’m disappointed that I won’t be there to see you have your first run.”

But there’s a twist in the tail.

There are only two cars in the formula Ford category, to be run on Sunday. One, a white car, will be driven

by Claire; in the black car, Johnny Greig will be at the wheel. That Greig just happens to be Claire’s husband.

The competition should prove interesting. May the best Greig win. \ norbsu@gmail.com » www.geelongrevival.com.au november 29, 2012 \ The weekly review 27

The first prerequisite was to make The Castle a beautiful, contemporary design.

It is crucial to the marketability of The Castle that it not be stigmatised as “cheap crisis housing” or “for poor people”, says Tams.

A secondary feature of the architectural finesse is that it could be marketed to the public as luxury cabins or studios.

The profits from these dwellings will offset the cost of the portable ones used for crisis accommodation and ensure Youth Futures can continue to self-fund projects.

There are also practical, bureaucratic barriers to overcome when creating the accommodation.

Youth Futures did not want its clients to be hassled by the need for planning permits and building permits that can take months to process.

The upshot is that The Castle is classed a caravan instead of a permanent dwelling.

Richard Burnham, lecturer at the School of Architecture and Design at the University of Tasmania in Launceston, says: “The latest prototype can be registered as a motor vehicle but features a fold-out section that enables it to expand by 30 per cent in width when set up on site.

Tams emphasises: “We have had nothing but support from the local council and government authorities. We are actually doing them a favour because we are developing a higher-density living model. We are filling a real niche and need.”

Burnham says that one of the main design challenges was “making a 10-metre square

micro-dwelling feel spatially larger than it physically is. This is achieved through design tricks such as corner windows and pop-up mezzanine areas. The other design challenge was developing a construction system that could be assembled by a low-skill workforce – like a large piece of furniture.

“Castles are made predominantly from plywood components (cut from approximately 60 sheets/150 components)

cut on a CNC router and are assembled with a rubber mallet, glue and screws … students and staff have developed a software plug-in that drives the design of The Castles and cutting files for the components.”

The flat-pack nature of the design means The Castle is easily transportable and can be developed and moved quickly on to sites in remote areas. This could provide a model for future crisis housing needs in the event of floods and bushfires.

At this stage, the caravans are still in the prototyping and costing phase, but Tams thinks that the basic model with heat pump, shower, air-conditioning, oven and cooktop, fridge and TV will cost about $25,000.

While The Castle was designed for youths, there has been keen interest from the 50–60 demographic reeling from a financial crisis and facing life on the pension. With some design modifications for disability access, Tams insists The Castle provides beautiful, cheap living. \ editorial@theweeklyreview.com.au » www.youthfutures.org.au (03) 6331 6622 Your SaY » is there a need for this type of shelter in greater geelong?

he Geelong region is regional Victoria’s fastest-growing area, and the 2500 hectares of developable land at Armstrong Creek are a vital ingredient in encouraging and supporting some of that.

On completion, Armstrong Creek will include about 22,000 homes and provide a similar number of jobs – particularly in the technology arena and through links with Deakin University.

The City of Greater Geelong has earmarked the development as a “sustainable community”, with a focus on efficient public-transport services and a network of walking and cycle paths. Armstrong Creek will also include schools, parks, open spaces, shops and cafés.

One of the first developers at Armstrong Creek, Villawood Properties, owns about 10 per cent of the development area.

The company is creating the $800 million Mt Duneed Estate that is only 11 minutes from the Surf Coast and 15 minutes from Geelong CBD. Villawood Properties executive director Rory Costelloe says it will take the company 12 to 15 years to build about 2300 houses at Mt Duneed.

Resort-style living In November, the company opened its sales office and released the first round of 24 prime waterfront blocks that will front a tree-lined boulevard.

“Our water precinct will have nearly five acres [about two hectares] of wetlands and sculptures, a boardwalk and quality waterfront cafés,” Costelloe says.

“Armstrong Creek is over half the size of Ballarat and it’s twice the size of Warrnambool, so you need to provide fun, cool things to do.

“We’re providing a resort-type development with community gardens, a men’s shed, community centre, play areas, a library, cafés and a spa.

“There will be a community intranet or website and community functions because my philosophy is that people will be moving here from somewhere else and they will need to meet new people and make friends.” continues » P34 november 29, 2012 \ The weekly review 33

“We’ll have pool fencing and gates to ensure kids are secure while their parents can look at the display homes,” Costelloe says. “So we’ll get over that problem of kids not wanting to look at display homes on a Sunday afternoon – they’ll want their parents to come to the village at Mount Duneed.”

Costelloe believes Armstrong Creek will be attractive to Victorians wanting a positive lifestyle change.

He moved from Bendigo to Geelong nine years ago because of the educational opportunities the area offered his children and to be closer to water. He says Armstrong Creek’s already home Mt Duneed offers the best of both worlds.

Melbourne says the estate is a 10-year project that “Armstrong Creek has set aside a lot of land will include more than 80 hectares of open as employment land, too, and so I think it will space – walking paths, cycle paths, seven football be a place for employers to set up businesses,” ovals, three soccer pitches and tennis courts, and he says. three school precincts that will include primary and “I think some businesses will relocate from secondary schools.

Display village: The Warralily community is developing at a rapid pace. (supplied)

warralily display village

Warralily is selling land on two fronts within Armstrong Creek – on the Barwon Heads Road; and on the Surf Coast Highway.

A display village opened last weekend in the Barwon Heads Road section and some homes in the area have already been built and are being lived in.

“It’s location, primarily, bringing people here and the ease of building – the land is flat and affordable,” says Whinfield.

“I think, in this region, there has been a shortage of land opportunities. Land on the coast is expensive and some of the land in Geelong is quite hilly.

Here’s an opportunity to get affordable land for

first-home buyers through to people buying their second or third home.

“I think this kind of development is exactly what Geelong needs. It’s got a growing population and it’s got a wealth of facilities and services, and it needs more population to take advantage of those facilities.

“Geelong has a lot more to offer. It’s a great place with great potential.” \ smarinos@theweeklyreview.com.au » www.warralily.com.au » www.villawoodproperties.com » www.armstrongmtduneed.com.au

THE MAJESTY OF IT ALL

36 The weekly review \ november 29, 2012

I’m standing in the foyer of a theatre, it’s an opening night and the first sultry evening we’ve had this year.

I’m feeling a bit clammy as a counter of perfumes and colognes penetrates my nasal passages like salt into a paper cut.

Everyone appears to have a kind of ectoplasmic glow as they talk and wait for the sound of bells to beckon us into the evening’s performance.

We’re all excited – middle-aged women wearing overstated jewellery, shaven-headed young men with slim hips and even slimmer mobile phones, and a gaggle of stereotypes too obvious to mention here.

There’s a sense of magic as we prepare to surrender to the smoke and mirrors of a theatrical experience, in which the set, lighting effects, music and skill of the dirctor and actors unite to create the unexplainable, the tragic, the comic and even the absurd.

We may be polluted by the vulgar machinations of politics and the knowledge that we actually have no control over the arms race, the environment or any Reserve Bank decisions, but we do have control of our imaginations and, within the walls of a theatre, we can refuse entry to the contradictions of the real world and let our hearts soar with the simple rise of the house curtain.

The most recognised house curtain in Melbourne rises at Her Majesty’s Theatre; heavy red velvet with a very, very deep gold-bullion fringe.

Just as the face of Greta Garbo became the quintessential representation of cinema, this theatre, affectionately referred to as The Maj, represents theatre and musical comedy in Melbourne. But, unlike Miss Garbo, Her

The Athenaeum

(eddie morton / supplied)

Majesty’s Theatre has allowed us to see the dignified maturing of her beauty over the years.

Designed by a then-young architect, Nahum Barnet, and built by French-born property developer Jules Joubert at a cost of £40,000 (£15,000 over budget), the theatre opened on October 1, 1886, and was the largest in the southern hemisphere.

Joubert named it the Alexandra, after the-then Princess of Wales. Over the years, the building has seen name changes (Her Majesty’s to His Majesty’s, then back to Her Majesty’s), various construction and management changes and, with each change, audiences benefited.

After securing the lease to the building in 1899, J.C. Williamson commissioned William Pitt, the architect who created the Princess Theatre, to do minor renovations.

Williamson renamed the theatre Her Majesty’s, after Queen Victoria, and re-opened it on May 19, 1900.

Under Williamson’s management, the theatre prospered.

It had its first major expansion between 1902 and 1904 – three new buildings were added that are still part of the complex today.

Dame Nellie Melba complained in 1909 that the auditorium’s acoustics were “dead”, so modifications were made to remedy the problem in 1911.

In 1929, a fire devastated the interior of the auditorium but left the structure of the building intact, allowing for the interior to be rebuilt inside the shell.

Her Majesty’s Theatre has outlasted whatever has bedeviled her and continues to spin her magic in, around and behind the spotlight. \ boomboom@rachelberger.com

The earliest example of theatre originated in ancient Egypt, with “Pyramid texts” dating from 2800BC. So it makes sense that the Melbourne City Council (with all the inevitable city council dramas) met in the Athenaeum building until 1852, when the Melbourne Town Hall was built. The Athenaeum began as Melbourne’s first Mechanics Institute in 1839. It was the venue for lectures by Mark Twain and Sir Redmond Barry, and the first Australian feature film, The History of the Kelly Gang, premiered here. It has continually and consistently played a vital role in the development of music, visual arts, literature, comedy and theatre in our city. \

The Potato Shed

The credo of the Potato Shed is “more than a venue”, so this gem of a local theatre certainly maximises every inch of its tiny space. At a time when relationships on all fronts are challenging and consumer activity is lethargic, this venue exemplifies how partnerships can work. The share model of council, community and two secondary schools is hugely successful and widely admired. The venue is a hub of creative activity and provides a valuable resource for the Bellarine community. This value absorbs and reprocesses local interests and issues via its productions and activities.

Exactly what a “community cultural resource” is all about. \

Kool Mints

Kool Mints are minty without being so strong that they numb your tongue. They’re also as Melbourne as The Maj and available in most theatre lolly shops for those of us who are neurotic about halitosis – oh, and are mint connoisseurs.

W. Allen, a Richard Branson of the lolly world, started making sweets at his Fitzroy home in the 1890s. He took over the premises of two failed companies and forged a major business. In 1917, he organised an amalgamation of five independent specialist sweets makers, one of which was a dentist. As A.W. Allen Pty Ltd, the company carved itself a niche to become Melbourne’s third-largest confectioner. Kool! \

THE BEST OF EVERYTHING

\ 7 Stinton Avenue, newtown, 3220

L

ocated in the heart of Newtown, this substantial property embraces all this exclusive neighbourhood has to offer.

From the leafy surrounds of tree-lined Stinton Avenue to its proximity to chic Pakington Street and the suburb’s finest schools – it’s just metres from Geelong College – it is an ideal place for a growing family to call home.

The splendor of established gardens behind a private front fence sets the scene for this charming character house.

Rose gardens and a towering tree in the sprawling front yard provide the perfect playground for children and a tranquil hideaway for parents. The lush garden continues along the side of the house and around to the rear, the trees along the side fence creating a sense of seclusion.

To have such space and quiet in a suburb so close to Geelong’s city centre is a rarity.

Inside the house, there’s plenty of room for everyone.

The brick house has been tastefully updated, including an upstairs extension with weatherboard exterior.

But there’s scope to renovate further should you wish to add your own finishing touches or alter the layout.

The four double bedrooms are enormous and all enjoy stunning views of the gardens.

The two bedrooms at the rear of the property bathe in the afternoon sun. The back left bedroom has stunning triple windows, while the other bedroom has french doors that open to the backyard.

Two of the bedrooms have stylish, recently renovated en suites, while the main bedroom upstairs also has a large walk-in-wardrobe and shoe cupboard. The others have built-in-wardrobes.

A calming colour palette of fresh, neutral tones mixed with a splash of cool mint green has been used throughout the ground floor and is in keeping with the attractive white exterior.

The living room, to the left of the entrance hall, is inviting, with colonial windows taking in the rose-garden vista.

There’s a fireplace, ceiling fan and a nook ideal for a day bed or even children’s play area.

Around to the right is a separate formal dining area that is spacious enough for a large table.

Big windows keep this room filled with light, and there’s potential to open it out to an entertainment area.

A doorway from the dining room leads to the small yet efficient and neat galley kitchen that retains its yesteryear appeal with wooden benchtops and polished wooden floorboards. There’s ample cupboard space.

The laundry runs off the kitchen and also opens onto the hallway.

The main bathroom to the left of the hall has a country cottage feel, floral border tiles and rich timber features.

While there isn’t a bath in either the main bathroom or the two en suites, all are more than big enough to make such an addition if needed.

As well as the built-in-wardrobes in the ground floor bedrooms, there are three storage cupboards in the house – one in the entrance hall, one underneath the staircase and another upstairs.

A large office at the top of the staircase is ideal for those running a business from home.

Entry to the main bedroom is just along from the office.

This bedroom is another living area in itself – in fact, it’s the true definition of parents’ retreat and takes up the bulk of the upstairs level of the house.

Polished floorboards add to its appeal, but it’s the magnificent west-facing windows in the arched alcove that catch the warm afternoon sun that really bring the room to life.

The house has ducted heating throughout and a security system, remote-controlled double garage at the front of the property and a garden shed out the back. \ Sarah BieSke property@theweeklyreview.com.au

A high front fence offers privacy, while established gardens in the front yard make for a striking entrance.

Polished floorboards are used throughout most of the house. There are three large bedrooms at the front, the main with a built-in wardrobe and substantial storage space in the bulkhead.

A large formal living room to the right of the entrance hall has an alcove and stunning bay window with leadlight, while an open fireplace adds to the charm.

High ornate ceilings provide a sense of space.

The third bedroom is currently being used as a library and has a delightful day bed by the bay window.

The main bathroom is at the end of the hallway on the right.

To the left is the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, with floor tiles in a terracotta shade.

The kitchen has ample cupboard space, wood cabinetry, island bench and stainless-steel appliances.

The dining area opens to a paved courtyard, while a second bathroom runs off the living room.

There’s a low-maintenance yard at the rear, as well as a lock-up single garage and carport.

Within walking distance of Pakington Street, this property has been impeccably maintained over the years but has potential to renovate. \ SARAH BIESKE

This brick classic has been built for family living. The layout, room proportions and block size are ideal for a growing family.

The home oozes country charm, but a coat of paint and fresh curtains are all that’s needed to give it a contemporary edge. The front façade is quite grand, with a stunning return verandah and manicured gardens. Inside, there are three spacious bedrooms, two with built-in wardrobes. The king-size main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and en suite with spa.

There’s a study big enough to be used as a fourth bedroom if needed. The main living area, which has a combustion heater, is to the left of the entrance hall and opens to a sitting room. The kitchen has plenty of bench space and gorgeous blackwood cabinetry. A sliding glass door off the adjoining dining area opens to the sun-filled enclosed entertainment area. Out back, there’s a double garage and a large shed with room for boat or caravan, along with an expansive lawn for the kids to play on. \ SARAH BIESKE

This sprawling Belmont property presents buyers with a great business opportunity as well as a place to call home. Next to the large family residence is a self-contained professional consulting suite with reception, waiting room, kitchenette, separate toilet and two consulting rooms. It is leased until April, 2014, with a yearly return of about $16,100. Alternatively, the suite is ideal for those looking to run a business next door to their own home. While the house could do with some cosmetic updating, the foundation provides plenty to work with.

Downstairs is a large kitchen, formal lounge, second living area, dining room, laundry and a main bedroom with en suite and walk-in wardrobe. Upstairs are three double bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes. The contemporary main bathroom has a walk-in linen closet.

Don’t be fooled by the quaint exterior of this weatherboard miner’s cottage – it belies a spacious and stunning modern extension attuned to the home’s heritage and a sweeping backyard deck area that leads directly into a double lock-up garage.

This renovated Newcomb weatherboard lost none of its charm during a recent update.

From the restored wooden verandah to the tiled fireplace and colonial bathroom vanity, it is a marriage of old and new to create a house brimming with character. The main house has three original bedrooms but a rear granny flat, with living area, kitchenette, separate bedroom and en suite adds great flexibility. A tiled entry, with bold feature walls, leads to a cosy formal lounge with decorative fireplace, picture rails and ceiling rose. The three bedrooms, two with built-in wardrobes, are off the hallway. The main bedroom adjoins a two-way bathroom with corner spa and freestanding wooden vanity. A modern extension at the rear provides an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area overlooking the rear garden. The kitchen has a corner pantry, appliance cupboard and breakfast bar, plus a built-in wine fridge.

French doors open to a small deck that steps down to an entertainment area and the granny flat. \ nicole mayne

The view into the north-facing backyard with its majestic jacaranda tree and built-in trampoline completes this fully renovated timeless Edwardian beauty.

Push back a wall of concertina doors and the already spacious and elegant open kitchen and living area expands to include the backyard. The arrangements invite entertaining, particularly using a kitchen equipped with stainless-steel appliances and plenty of bench space.

Wooden floors, a log fire and plenty of storage and natural light brighten this weatherboard house. A separate dining room close to the kitchen has double doors leading to a paved outdoor entertainment area with entry to the lock-up garage. The four spacious bedrooms have high ceilings and built-in wardrobes. The main has a walk-in wardrobe. The bathroom has a double vanity and an oval bath. Framed from the street by a high white picket fence, this handsome family house is a short stroll from Geelong Waterfront and Rippleside Park. \ mary-jane daffy

There’s plenty of room for backyard cricket at this well-presented family house on a generous block. Set in a quiet street behind a neat, landscaped garden and rendered brick façade, it offers comfortable living and a secure outdoor space for kids to roam. The first of the three bedrooms, just off the tiled entry, features a stylish, light-filled en suite with grey and white colour scheme and walk-in wardrobe. The carpeted front lounge leads to the open-plan kitchen, living and dining area that forms the heart of the house. A green feature wall sets the tone for this space, which opens to the large outdoor entertainment area. Modern galley kitchen design maximises the storage space available, while a raised bench overlooking the lounge makes it easy to hide dishes away. Air-conditioning and ducted heating provide year-round comfort. The two remaining bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes, are at the back of the house, along with the central bathroom, toilet and laundry. \ NICOLE MAYNE

Escape from that daily grind to your own private retreat. Nestled in the ever popular & fast growing town of Bannockburn & situated on approx 1.6 acres of land. Prepare to unwind & enjoy the therapeutic experience of living away from the hustle & bustle of city living. This impressive residence merges a divine blend of open plan living & grand spaces. A true family home of spacious proportions, it consists of an open plan kitchen family & meals, formal lounge, 4 double bedrooms, master with WIR & ensuite. Each room is soaked with an abundance of natural light and enjoys views to a rural outlook.

Outdoors is where this home excels, with approximately 1.6 acres to ´play´ on the land has been smartly used to ensure that all aspects of living can be enjoyed. Plenty of room to add a massive shed, outdoor entertainment area or a swimming pool (STCA). Other features include: ducted heating & cooling, formal & informal living. Rapidly developing, properties in this growth area will fast be out of reach, so if you´re thinking if the timing is right it couldn’t be more right than now. Home Owner: "You won´t believe how quiet and peaceful it is here, we will miss it."
