If you live in the Corio/Norlane area, statistics show that at least one house in your street has been burgled during the past year, and, with the approach of the festive season, householders have been warned to be extra vigilant.

Statistics show that in the 3214 postcode area – which also includes North Shore – one in every 37 homes were burgled in the year to September 11, making it the most burglary-prone region outside metropolitan Melbourne.

The figures are even more staggering when it is considered that the statewide average was one in 69 homes burgled and one in 87 in regional areas during the same period. In the previous year in 3214, it was one in 30 homes, while the year before the figure was one in 33.

Since 2003, the burglary figures in the same area were consistently in the 30s, with the exception of 2004-’05, when it was 29 homes, according to Victoria Police crime statistics.

The latest statistics place Corio 18th in the most homes burgled stakes in Victoria.

The state government came into power on a platform of law and order and promised 70 new police officers for the Geelong region.

But critics say it has not delivered.

The Coalition, led by Premier Ted Baillieu, promised it would introduce 1700 new police officers into the force over a four-year period, and the police union has said it is meeting that commitment in the rollout across Victoria The Baillieu government argues that it does not determine where recruits are allocated – that that is up to force command.

Lara MP John Eren says that is, for want of a better term, a cop out, with Geelong’s growing population in dire need of more police.

“At a public forum in Geelong in 2007, Mr Baillieu said that you would have to have had your head in the sand if you did not realise that Geelong needs more police and he promised 70,” Eren says. “At the time he said that they needed to interfere if necessary … we need extra police on the beat now.

“And we need not only more police but more service providers for drug and alcohol problems – the problem is getting bigger, especially when you consider the escalation in ice use.’’

Police Association head Greg Davies agreed that Geelong was still well down on the police numbers it needed.

He believed the greater Geelong area was “slipping between the cracks” when it came to police allocation numbers.

It was hard to determine whether the Corio/Norlane area was being treated as a rural or metropolitan region, and that appeared to determine where police were being sent.

“But it is not an area that is shrinking – it is growing all the time,” Davies says. “The increase in population has not been matched by the increase in police numbers.

“Geelong has been allocated additional police, but nowhere near enough.”

MP SLAMS

‘cop oUT’ But Davies said in defence of the current government, it was ahead of the allocation it pledged across the state.

A spokesperson for Police and Emergency Services Minister Peter Ryan said that under the Labor government Victoria had the lowest number of front-line police per person of any state in Australia.

“The Victorian Coalition government is delivering the largest boost to front-line police resources in a single term of government in Victoria’s history, with 1700 additional front-line police members to be allocated across Victoria by November, 2014,” the spokesperson says.

“Western region one, which includes Geelong … will have an extra 36 front-line police members allocated by June next year as part of our commitment to keep communities safe.

This massive injection of resources is delivering a significant boost to visible policing in the region and allowing a new

level of flexibility for regional police divisional commanders to conduct targeted and effective police operations.

“Decisions around the appropriate deployment of police resources is an operational matter for police command.”

Inspector Gary Thompson, of Geelong Police, confirmed that Corio/Norlane was a problem area and linked some of the crime in that region to the ice epidemic.

He, like the state government, said police numbers were determined by force command, but he expected allocations to swell in the new year with three sergeants to arrive in the area, two for Geelong and one for Corio.

He said the divisional response unit was making inroads, especially in the intelligence area, and that the Christmas period was busy for reasons other than burglaries, with an influx of tourists and people travelling on the highways.

While politicians have been pointing the finger at each other, the RACV has made it

clear that the burglary rate in Corio/Norlane has been consistently high for years.

RACV home services manager Peter Brindley said there were gangs of burglars operating across the state and also linked the burglary increase to ice use.

He warned that householders needed to take the initiative during the Christmas period, as thieves were looking for opportunities.

Brindley said that in the past year there had been several incidents in which cars were stolen from homes, with the residents having left the keys in easily accessible places.

“The simple things do make a difference – lock all the windows and doors, have the alarms on, as burglars are often opportunistic,” Brindley said. \ editorial@theweeklyreview.com.au yoUR sAy

epworth a heaLthY boost waurn ponds A new 394-bed hospital in Geelong will help ease pressure on the region’s stretched health services.

Construction is expected to start early next year on stage one of the private Epworth Geelong teaching hospital at Waurn Ponds, with the doors to open by 2015.

The $255-million project will be built on former Marcus Oldham College land next to Deakin University, which has joined forces with Epworth to deliver the world-class facility.

In a major boost for Geelong, it will provide state-of-the-art medical care and a training centre for the next generation of Deakin’s health graduates.

Stage one includes 202 inpatient beds, nine operating theatres, a 20-bed emergency department, intensive-care unit, a catheter laboratory and maternity services.

It will bring neurosurgery to Geelong for the first time, along with other services, including chemotherapy, dialysis, cardiology, orthopaedics and general surgery.

Tracey Scott, general manager of strategic development at Epworth HealthCare, said it was exciting to see construction of the new

hospital almost ready to begin. She said the joint venture with Deakin University was the first of its kind in the state and would offer patients the latest in quality health care.

“This is an opportunity for the first private teaching hospital in Victoria, linking with the medical students, with the nursing and all the allied health,” Scott said.

“It is about bringing the best care to our patients based on the latest evidence, and that is where Deakin and their research comes in.”

She said the six-storey hospital would have private rooms for all patients.

It would house maternity services, with birthing suites and neonatal intensive care and a cardiac catheter laboratory.

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.

A hybrid theatre, combining the latest imaging technology with a traditional operating theatre, would enable doctors to undertake more diagnostics when treating vascular patients.

The hospital development is based on international models such as not-for-profit US hospitals the Mayo Clinic and the Cleveland Clinic, which have shown improved patient outcomes in a teaching hospital setting.

Construction of the new facility, which was first mooted in 2009, comes at a time when public provider Barwon Health is facing a $4.9-million drop in its budget under new funding arrangements.

It has flagged possible bed closures despite record high demand for its services. Other health services in Colac and Lorne are also feeling the pinch.

Scott said the growing healthcare needs of the region, on the back of an increasing population, were one of the reasons Epworth HealthCare was investing in Geelong.

She said the Waurn Ponds site was chosen because of its proximity to Deakin, which already has a partnership with Epworth in nursing education at its Richmond hospital.

Epworth HealthCare bought land from Marcus Oldham College in 2011. After

barista \ MARY O’BRIEN REVIEWS WINTER’S CAFE Café on Pakington Street. The vibe is buzzy, the team is young and enthusiastic, and the customers run the gamut from the young to more mature types.

Co-owners Matt Connell and Andrew “Bones” Steere recently won Golden Plate awards for best licensed café in Geelong and best state café – quite an achievement in their first 18 months.

They took over the existing Winter’s Café in May, 2011, and completely renovated it.

“This was our turn to make our mark on the town,” Connell says.

The partners, who both have hospitality backgrounds, keep a close eye on Melbourne’s café scene.

“We like to stay on top of all the trends,” Connell says.

They opted for Espresso Syndicate coffee because it’s organic and Fair Trade, in keeping with their own values.

For black coffee, they offer single-origin beans from Clark Street Roasters. This seasonally changing coffee may be from Sumatra, Brazil or even Sydney.

The food side of things is taken seriously and the menu is innovative.

Breakfast might be an open crab

omelet with papaya salad or an asparagus, wild mushroom and black pudding bruschetta.

Winter’s Café 330 Pakington Street, Newtown

Local girl Lucy barista Thom, who lives in Newtown and walks to work,

takes a lot of pride in her coffee making and enjoys topping up her skills with regular courses. She enjoys chatting to customers and helping them understand coffee flavours.

“I’m definitely a people person and I enjoy interacting with the customers and the Winter’s team,” she says. “I get to tell people something new and they really appreciate it.”

A latte – nicely executed with sweet caramel, nutty and toffee flavours – is brewed on a La Marzocco using the Espresso Syndicate seasonal blend, which is sustainably sourced. Winter’s black coffees are brewed from specialty beans from Syndicate’s Clark Street Roasters, sourcing single-farm and estate coffees.

Lucy says most customers opt for milk coffees, especially lattes, but interest is growing in black coffee culture.

She says the specialty coffees are brighter and fruitier, so they work better in black coffees. For those who want a break from caffeine, Winter’s teas are from Larsen and Thompson. \

The décor is fresh and vibrant, and mainly in a soothing pale green, with a darker shade used to highlight some features, matched with a lime green counter.

Enjoy your coffee at the wooden communal table, the smaller white-topped tables or the three outdoor ones.

On weekends, the 80-seater café is usually full, including the spacious upstairs room.

food \ MARY-JANE DAFFY REVIEWS THERE THERE EATING ROOM & BAR

I

triple-cooked chips

steak tartare

(MAggie bufe)

f business success was judged on enthusiasm, chefs Adrien Augert, 26, and Leon Pillay, 30, would garner a perfect score.

I’ve just finished ordering from an adventurous menu riddled with twists on Asian, European and gastropub fare at the duo’s first foray into business, There There Eating Room & Bar, when Augert arrives tableside with a sunshine smile and a plate of kingfish sashimi.

The idea of the dish, he explains, is to dip the almost-translucent slices of kingfish into the ponzu sauce and then into a shallow bowl holding minute tubular lime meringues before eating. That way the salty sweetness of the sauce and the tart crunch of lime meringue will stick to the fish and unite the flavours in one bite.

He’s right, although the kingfish slices were a little too thick and the presentation a little sloppy But I can’t remember a time when each dish at a restaurant was delivered and precisely explained by the chef.

This treatement is not accorded to just those on reviewing duty but to each and every table.

There There Eating Room & Bar has taken up post in the majestic heritage building that housed popular fine-diner 2faces for the past 13 years.

Augert and Pillay have simplified the space for a more accessible dining experience, with bright-red paint around the soaring arched windows, a butcher’s pig graphic drawn on the wall, a fantastic stuffed stag’s head above the long bar and bare, simply set wooden tables and chairs.

The boys did much of the renovation and design themselves, and it shows. When the spacious room isn’t at capacity, it can feel a little empty. Nothing some tasteful objects or low-slung lighting wouldn’t help fill.

Opening a restaurant has been a dream of the pair since they met eight years ago working in At The Heads’ kitchen in Barwon Heads. Collectively, they bounced around such local kitchens as Pettavel, Fisherman’s Pier and Riviera on Yarra before biting the bullet three months ago and opening There There Eating Room & Bar. Running the length of the room, the bar encourages wining and dining perched on padded bar stools. It’s also where much of the action happens, thanks to a view into the kitchen.

Character-driven Prickly Moses Otway ale, Little Creatures pale ale and organic Mountain Goat steam ale are on tap. A pithy bottled beer and cider list is equally adventurous and prices, across the board, are kept down.

The wine list, while short and sweet with a dozen reds and whites on offer, lacks the same creativity. The whites pull from various corners of the globe, but you’ll be hard pressed to find a red that’s not from South Australia.

The menu is broken into share, fish, meat, vegetables and dessert sections.

Born in France, Augert’s origins are evident.

A fat disk of steak tartare is lively with parsley, shallots and the subtle fire of Tabasco. It’s crowned with a mini-egg that’s been cooked for 38 minutes at

milk & mint sorbet

65 degrees. The result is a custardy yolk that melds with the meat for a rich, velvety texture.

Mouthfuls of smoked skate wing aren’t so successful.

The fat cubes placed on croutons and topped with smoky paprika aioli have the dryness of smoking without the intensity of flavour.

Palm-sized pulled-pork lettuce cups are bright with flavour. The pork, tucked in the lettuce after being cooked for 48 hours at 70 degrees, is a melt-in-your-mouth affair. Pickled cucumber adds crunch, and a hit of sherry vinegar helps cut through the hoisin dressing. Iceberg lettuce would have provided the crunch needed, unlike the cos leaves.

Main servings are far more substantial – whole rainbow trout; bouillabaisse exploding with prawns, mussels and huge crab claws; and a giant one-kilogram

tomahawk steak cooked at 55.6 degrees for hours to achieve a perfect medium rare.

Braised lamb gnocchi is tasty enough, but presentation needs thought. A pile of shredded lamb did little to endear itself atop pillowy gnocchi.

The piece de resistance, however, was the finale – a line of interspersed shards of dehydrated meringue, refreshing milk and mint sorbet quenelle, tart acidic lime curd and disks of dehydrated apple. It’s a delight.

With tweaking, There There Eating Room & Bar will shine, particularly with the enthusiasm of Pillay and Aubert steering the ship. \ editorial@theweeklyreview.com.au to read more reviews

The grand bones of this former bank and 1850s heritage building elevate an otherwise sparse, modern fit-out. Newly laid blond wooden floors and towering white walls make for a light, bright space. Touches of character come via licks of fire engine-red paint that arch around wide windows and a giant stag’s head presiding over the elongated bar. The bank’s former bluestone vault has been converted into a delightful wine room. At the rear, a cosy room is the pick of the seating spaces, with an open fireplace and comfy couch that invites post-lunch lounging. \

Chapel Hill Parson’s Nose Shiraz 2011

CRisp

Blueberries, plum, blackberry, fennel seeds and white-pepper aromas lead to vibrant flavours of cherries along with red and black berries. It has got energy, zip and a fine line of acid. Tannins are nice, too, carrying cherry and raspberry flavours to a lengthy finish. It’s light and bright rather than dense and rich like many shirazes from McLaren Vale. A bargain at $16.

Food match \ Rare eye fillet

ComplEx

Wow. This has to be one of the best-value wines going around. A good sparkling for less than $10 is hard enough to find, and this is not only bottle-fermented, it’s complex, intriguing and better-structured than many sparklings three times the price. Apples and pears, lemon zest, biscuit, and honey characters are complex and tasty, while on the palate there’s a fine mousse and gentle, grippy acidity.

Food match \ Fresh-shucked oysters

The pinot meunier grape, usually the workhorse of Champagne, gets a star role here, making up 40 per cent of the blend with chardonnay and pinot noir. New-season apple, lemon zest and honey bouquet leads to a mineral-laced palate of citrus pith, pear and peach. Cattier offers about the cheapest proper Champagne experience you’ll find.

Food match \ Mushroom risotto

6 Williams Crossing Chardonnay 2010

(Central Ranges, NSW) $14.99; 11.5% ★★★★

(Macedon Ranges) $26; 13.3% ★★★★½

smooTh Williams Crossing is Curly Flat’s range of declassified wines. In Curly Flat’s case, declassified doesn’t mean the wines are no good – they’re usually quite impressive – but they don’t fit the style that winemaker Phillip Moraghan is looking for in his flagship wine. In the running for bargain of the year, this is rich and complex, with citrus, white stonefruit, vanilla and spice characters. It’s smooth and creamy, with balanced acid and a bright, juicy finish.

Food match \ Roast chicken

TExTuRAl Portuguese Berardo Group is part owner of Cumulus Estate and this is a collaboration between Cumulus’ Debbie Lauritz and Berardo’s Francisco Antunes. It’s a 50/50 blend of grenache and mourvedre that smells of summer berries and cream – simple and effective. There’s some sweetness to the strawberry, raspberry and watermelon flavours but a line of citrus-flavoured acid keeps the wine fresh and balanced. It’s textural, too, with a rich finish.

Food match \ Tapas

7Penfolds Bin 8 Cabernet Shiraz 2010

8 Innocent Bystander Moscato 2012

Creek Estate 9Hoddles Blanc de Blancs 2010

Here’s a good rendition of an Aussie classic – the cab-shiraz blend. On the nose, cabernet contributes dusty cedar oak, black and redcurrant aromas, and the cherry and blackberry notes come from the shiraz. Similar flavours are found on the palate, along with vanilla oak and bright acid and powdery tannins lead to good length and a bright finish. A rather well-composed wine, this has drinkability written all over it.

Food match \ Roast lamb

Made from old-vine muscat, this now comes in kegs, bottles and cans. The sample I tasted came in a can and I wasn’t sure whether to pour it into a glass or simply pop in a straw. Poured into a glass, it reveals bright grape, strawberry juice, musk and lychee aromas and flavours. It’s sweet but balanced with nice acid and a chalky grip and has a lengthy finish. For the record, this goes just as well with a straw.

The 2012 vintage marks the 75th consecutive release of Houghton White Classic. It’s said that style never goes out of fashion, and this is a label we’ll be drinking in another 25 years. In the glass, it’s all tropical fruit, citrus and pear, with a smooth texture and even, crisp flow along the tongue.

The 2011 vintage marks Pierrepoint’s 10th pinot noir. Pinot noir is often described as being layered and this wine’s cherry, plum, spice and stalk aromas are delivered in distinct waves. There’s intensity and complexity on the palate, with bright cherry, raspberry, plum and earthy notes, while fine, well-used French oak plays a supporting role, adding cloves and toasty elements. Silky smooth, its fine, drying tannins carry the flavours to a lengthy finish. Give it a good decant.

Food match \ Chicken-liver parfait

A dessert in itself, Rutherglen topaque (formerly known as tokay) is the wine I look for when the brandy flames the Christmas pudding. Made from muscadelle grapes, this is clean and complex, with cold tea, caramel, malt, honey and earth flavours and aromas. Its unctuous texture, all slippery and smooth, leads to a long finish of raisins, honey and malt. Serve fortifieds such as topaque cold – their texture is enhanced and the high alcohol is kept in check by the temperature.

From a vineyard in the upper Yarra Valley, not far from Gembrook, comes this sparkling made of 100 per cent chardonnay. It’s an elegant wine, as many chardonnay-based sparklings are, with complex aromas and flavours of white stonefruit, lemon (zest and juice) and almond biscuits.

There’s finesse, too, with a creamy mousse and refreshing, drying acid. It finishes with a burst of briney, yeasty grapefruit and peach flavours.

smooTh Sparkling shiraz is the ultimate match for roast turkey, but it’s too good to be opened at Christmas time alone. This is loaded with blackberry, blackcurrant, dark cherry, chocolate bullet and spice characters. Smooth, bright and grippy, this is rather food-friendly. Drink it in a big glass – a flute is a no-no – and don’t serve it too cold.

SAN CISCO \ NOVEMBER 30 Geelong was the first stop for indie pop band San Cisco on their Wild Things tour, and who better to host the Western Australians than The Bended Elbow. Fresh from an ARIA nomination as the 2012 breakthrough artist and a tour throughout Britain and US, excited fans packed the venue to welcome the band home. Celebrating the launch of their self-titled debut album just a week earlier, San Cisco’s upbeat vibe and strong lyrics certainly did not disappoint. \ december 13, 2012 \ The weekly review 23

Sport \ revival Speed trialS

C

ar enthusiast Dave Pugh has a long memory. Ask him about the Geelong Speed Trials and he can remember his first one in 1959.

“I had a Ford Prefect, but it was modified with a Morris 1000 engine,” he says. “The scrutineers took one look at it and said I had to compete against the Minis, not the bigger cars. So I went home and got my motorbike.”

Over the years he’s seen many changes.

“In the early days, you’d see a lot more true racing cars,” he says. “Then in the ’60s, we started seeing more exotic cars – Porsches, Fiats and Jaguars.”

Sitting in front of his beautiful MGB, he’s happy the event, which was held on December 1 and 2, has returned.

“In the old days we’d get the likes of Moffat, Brock and Brabham here,” he says. “Nine years without the speed trials has been a long time.”

The Geelong Speed Trials were an important event on the classic motorsport calendar for more than 45 years before being rested after the 2003 event.

They are modelled on the famous Brighton Speed Trials in Britain. The right-hand sweep of the Geelong track, combined with a natural hill that overlooks Corio Bay, makes the event a great family day, with vantage points all along the course.

Motorsport director Scott Pigdon worked with Geelong business identity Nick Heath to breathe life back into an event that seemed dead and buried.

“This was a successful return of a much-loved event for the Geelong community,” he says. “Over 55,000 people attended over the weekend, 270 cars and motorbikes competed and there were over 500 cars on display. I hope this helps build the momentum which will see it return to being a yearly event”. \ Words & Picture mark smith mark@marksmithphoto.com.au

HOLY FLYING CIRCUS \ UKTV, Sunday December 16, 8.30pm » www.uktv.com.au

tOP Pick

It’s God versus Python in this inventive docudrama, detailing the furore sparked by the release of Monty Python’s Life of Brian. When furious Christians protest outside the American premiere, the comedy troupe is divided about how to tackle its British release. Will the film, as religious leaders suggest, inspire violence? Will young viewers, as Cleese suggests, start copycat crucifixions? As society turns on the Pythons, they begin to turn on each other, leaving them in no fit state to defend their film in an infamous television debate.

The real thrust of the drama here revolves around the tense friendship between neurotic John Cleese (Darren Boyd) and sensitive Michael Palin (Charles Edwards). They can barely agree on what their film means, let alone how to defend it.

Happily, the film manages to capture much of the wit and irreverence of its subject. Instead of being a straight drama, this is a wilfully skewed comedy. Key facts are set in stone, but there’s plenty of fun to be had messing about with the details. Cleese is portrayed as Basil Fawlty, whereas Palin is married to Terry Jones in drag. The cast, particularly Boyd and Edwards, do a superb job of breaching the gap between the human beings and their public personas.

Cheeky, controversial and surprisingly poignant, Holy Flying Circus is a reminder that some things are too important to be taken seriously. \

RISE OF THE GUARDIANS \ Opens December 13, Rated PG www.riseoftheguardians.com

With school holidays almost upon us, there’s no shortage of kid-friendly film fare lined up. Rise of the Guardians, based on a series of children’s books, should appeal to the very young, even if there’s not much in it for their parents.

Icy sprite Jack Frost (voiced by Chris Pine) has been skulking around for the past couple of centuries, waiting for somebody to notice him. While kids are happy believing in Santa, the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny, nobody seems to have heard of him. But when evil Pitch Black (Jude Law) comes up with a plan to stop kids believing in folk tales, Jack is recruited to assist Santa et al in saving the day.

There are some lovely ideas here, but a limp narrative fails to make the most of them. It takes half the film to establish its complex, if inventive, mythology, by which point there’s little time left for an adventure.

Primary school-aged youngsters will enjoy some of the visual gags, but the script is surprisingly unsophisticated, with nothing aimed to shoot over the kiddies’ heads.

Certainly, the soon-to-bereleased Wreck-It Ralph offers a far more engaging time for taller folk. \

Myke’s space

When it comes to music, December is more about retrospection than innovation. Fortunately, there are a few treasures to be found among the flurry of re-releases. Recent top pop albums from Nicki Minaj, Florence + the Machine and Lana Del Rey are back on the shelves, each bolstered by a bonus disc.

Lana comes out on top, with eight new songs on a par with anything she’s released to date.

If any of these repackages can be considered essential, however, it’s the superb Trilogy from Canadian R&B act the Weeknd. While the three mixtapes collated here have been freely available online, this is the first time they’ve been committed to disc.

Really, it’s the bringing together that’s the important thing here. Embellished with a handful of new material, the three mixtapes create an impressive, inventive and utterly immersive concept album. Sounding something like a fusion of James Blake and Massive Attack, the Weeknd’s world is a slightly sinister realm of nocturnal nefariousness. It’s party music, yes, but only for parties that have run on far longer than they should have.

Which probably makes it quite a timely release, even if it lacks the traditional seasonal cheer. \

events CHRISTMAS TUNES \ Sunday December 16 » www.musicatthebasilica.org.au the spirit of christmas will be in good voice this weekend, as A Christmas Noel takes place at the Basilica of st Mary of the angels. a program of classical christmas favourites will be performed by the seasons ensemble, with geelong soprano Lee abrahmsen joining them to perform arias from handel and Bach. tickets are available on the door ($25/$20, children under 12 free). those looking for a more traditional singalong might want to attend the free christmas carols at Osborne house (also on December 16).

hen Faye Connors moved from a high-rise in Melbourne to a home by the sea in Barwon Heads several years ago, she was determined to integrate into her new community.

It was about this time that she met some local people who wanted to start a community garden. Connors became part of the group that met in a café every Sunday afternoon to plot and plan their green-fingered vision.

Today that vision is a flourishing reality.

Barwon Heads Community Arts Garden is a natural and peaceful oasis that shows what can be achieved when a community works together. While gardening is still a key element of the project, more recently the project has become a meeting place for music groups, kindergartens, mother-and-baby groups, yoga classes and a community choir.

The local scout group is having a Christmas break-up on the site and local produce dinners, where people cook and share a dish using ingredients they’ve grown on their garden plot, can attract 80 or 90 people on a summer’s evening.

“I was looking to meet people when I moved here and had heard about community gardens in the city,” says Connors.

“I didn’t know how to garden so I thought it would be an opportunity to meet people and learn about gardening. I’d lived in high rises most of my adult life but through this place I now have my own vegetable garden. I’ve made friends and I’ve gained a lot of knowledge.”

On the morning we meet, Connors is donning a beekeeping suit and is taking care of the hive that arrived at the Barwon Heads garden about a year ago. So far this year five kilograms of fresh honey have been harvested.

A first birthday party for the beekeeping group last week was celebrated with honey cake and honey-flavoured ice-cream.

The garden was formally established in June 2007 – about six months after local

resident and architect Sam Smith came up with the idea and rallied a group of people.

Armed with plans, they approached the City of Greater Geelong, which swiftly provided the 2275-square metre site.

Initially the area was grassed parkland, but a series of working bees and support from local building businesses that supplied excavation equipment, saw the garden quickly take shape. The council also provided grants for water tanks and for a portable building to be installed on the site. It leases the site for a nominal rent.

“We had people with skills on board quite early and we had a clear vision,” says Connors.

“It was a garden to incorporate art, food, permaculture principles, recycling and to encourage local people to grow food together.”

Carmel Smith, president of the committee that helps run the garden, moved to Barwon Heads four years ago. An enthusiastic and experienced gardener, she found that working on the site was a way to meet people and continue her passion.

She has one of the 21 individual plots and has just spent the morning transferring basil, lettuce and some beans from the garden’s poly house to her plot. The well-tended plot also has a mix of basil, parsley, tomatoes, beetroot, zucchini and broccoli.

“As well as plot holders we have people who are members and supporters of the garden and who come to events and working bees,” says Smith.

“I used to work in adult education and next year I’m organising a basket-making course and also a paper-making course here. That will bring new people into the garden.

“This has certainly become a communal gathering space now, a place where people come and help with the garden and meet socially. One man comes here three or four times a week with his little girl and she plays in the sandpit and they walk around together looking at what’s growing.”

the bees’ knees A chalkboard has a list of the daily chores to be done by willing volunteers – today’s list includes weeding the onion boxes and taking care of the compost bins. As well as the individual plots there’s also a sensory garden under development at the entrance of the site and the fence line is fringed by carefully tended fruit and olive trees.

The citrus circle is a gathering space with a small campfire at its centre and beyond the portable building – the “garden room” – is the hive, a few bathtubs used for composting and the chook house. Earlier this year the committee installed a pizza oven, too.

Barwon Heads is home to a vibrant arts community and eight local artists have also made their mark on the

community arts garden. Each of them decorated a fence panel at the entrance to the garden to create the Memory Fence.

Designs range from a young surfer catching a wave, to mosaic horses, to a majestic old-style sailing ship made from materials foraged entirely from the nearby beach. A metallic mermaid sits on the front gate and the fence is edged with ironwork that reflects the skyline of moonah trees beyond.

“This is a place for older people, kids, younger families and everyone in between,” says Smith. “Everyone can find something here that appeals to them.” \ smarinos@theweeklyreview.com.au » The garden is located in Moonah Gates Park, 38 Geelong Road, Barwon Heads. For information go to www.bhartsgarden.com

The community digs it: As well as productive fruit and vegetable plots and bee hives, a sensory garden is also being developed.

Niche

wizard developing our city \ Forget retail woes, Sassica + Salter has the formula to succeed, writes FRANCESCA CARTER.

i

n the face of Australia’s retail slump, Sassica Salter opened her own boutique, hoping to succeed where other small businesses had failed. Taking over a former wine bar in Pakington Street, Geelong West, Salter launched her beautiful homewares business Sassica + Salter.

Celebrating its second birthday in September, the shop has become a popular destination for many local fashionistas who value Salter’s acute eye for detail and design. Add the amiable service, warm atmosphere and gorgeous fit-out, and it’s easy to see why even on a cold Friday morning there is a healthy flow of customers.

“Pakington Street is always where I wanted to be,” says Salter. “And when the space became available, it was about taking a leap of faith and just doing it.”

For as long as she can remember, Salter has wanted to open her own boutique. Moving to Geelong with her husband seven years ago, she says her initial motivations were based upon seeing a gap in the market.

“I knew I always wanted to do something down here, because I probably felt as a Melbourne person living in Geelong there wasn’t that array of options to shop at,” she says.

“There were great shops, but not the plethora that we’re used to in Melbourne, which is a size thing. I felt there were a few brands I could introduce.”

Salter’s initiation into homeware began nearly 15 years ago, when she was working part-time at Minimax while finishing her business marketing degree. Working in the Hawksburn flagship shop, she was promoted from an office administration role to weekend manager.

“When I was 19, I wasn’t your typical homewares person,” says Salter. “But you got such a good education there of what the brands and products were, and the importance of quality … I started saving things for my

glory box. I began spending all my money on things that I definitely didn’t need at the time, but I knew I was going to use some day.”

After university, Salter worked as a co-ordinator in the publishing house for Inside Racing magazine before becoming an account executive at Pacific Magazines. Working on publications such as Home Beautiful, Vogue Living and Better Homes and Gardens presented Salter with a solid contact book of local and international suppliers.

“From a shopping point of view, it was about understanding the different brands and where they come from, and how they start. And also understanding how to source them,” she says.

After years on magazines, Salter landed what she describes as her “dream job” – Victorian manager for Donna Hay, a magazine she cites as bringing colour, flavour and ideas to the home and heart.

Although initially the commute was manageable, when Salter found out she was pregnant with her son, Tom, she began thinking about different business opportunities.

“When Donna launched her Royal Doulton collection, that was one of the big instigators for me to be able to do this,” she says. “She personally signed off on me being able to carry her range, so I’m the exclusive stockist for that collection in Geelong.”

Walking into Salter’s homeware shop is like falling head-first into a gigantic Christmas stocking. Even before you reach the shop door, the colours of all the displays glisten onto the street.

Once inside, it’s a feast for the eyes. There are so many beautiful and intriguing objects, including brightly coloured teacups, aromatic candles, organic washing detergent and a stylish collection of cushions and table linen.

But it’s not just your eyes that are spoiled. The shop smells like honeysuckle and camellias, and on the day I visit there is a subtle Frank Sinatra track playing in the background.

“I don’t necessarily rely on trade fairs. I try to bring in things that no one else has in Geelong,” says Salter. “It’s about finding that thing that I like, but also that thing that I think my customers will like.”

The shop has undergone an extensive makeover.

Sticking to a grey-and-white colour palette, Salter has arranged the space to be as freestanding and fresh as possible.

Channeling a Scandinavian aesthetic, the interior has whitewashed floorboards, white shelving units made from wood and glass, and white Carrara marble tabletops.

“With the shelving I try to do brand by brand, so that the brands speak for themselves,” she says. “And the way it all flows, it just makes more sense. So it’s not so much visual merchandising – for me the products are the hero.”

With the shop winning an enviable reputation for providing good-quality, unique homewares, Salter is already looking to expand. She has started selling her products online and, in the future, hopes to create her own homewares brand.

We have no doubt that whatever Salter touches will be virtually recession proof. \ fcarter@theweeklyreview.com.au » Sassica + Salter 224 Pakington Street, Geelong West, 3218.

A malvern star

developing our city \ Canny’s Lubelso shines at the Victorian HIA awards.

c

anny’s Lubelso concept home has been named HIA Victorian Project Home of the Year, one of the Victorian housing industry’s highest accolades.

The Malvern house last month was honoured at the HIA-CSR Victorian Housing Kitchen & Bathrooms Awards.

Recognised for its high standards in design and build, the house was judged the best in its field by a panel of industry professionals.

The generously proportioned design has a flexible floor plan of three integrated living zones and four bedrooms, as well as a poolside outdoor entertainment area.

Damian Canny, owner of Lubelso and Canny, says the predesigned architectural home product features everything you’d expect from a Canny custom home, with the added benefits of fixed pricing and delivery.

“The Lubelso concept home is one that we are particularly proud of,” Canny says of the project, which was launched eight months ago. “(It was) conceived from Canny’s post-GFC observation that there was a gap worth exploring in the Victorian prestige home market.”

HIA Victorian executive director Gil King praised the

t … and the res Essendon Airport \ Thank you, Paul Lucas, for emailing memories of Essendon Airport as “a little kid”. Before Melbourne Airport, our main airport was Essendon. It was the busiest radio-equipped aerodrome in Australia in the 1940s, with 120 landings and take-offs each day.

Designated an international airport in 1950, by the mid-’50s its facilities couldn’t meet the increasing demand for air travel, the runways were too short for the new jet airliners and it was surrounded by residential housing, which meant expansion wasn’t possible. As Lucas says: “It’s a bit quieter now, but if you do stand in the terminal you can still imagine the Beatles arriving in 1964 and the roar of 5000 screaming fans.” \

year of operation it handled six airlines and 155,275 international passengers.

Since then it’s seen exceptional growth in flight and passenger numbers, making it the second-busiest airport in the country. Business Traveller magazine and Airports Council International have ranked Melbourne in the top 10 every year from 1996 to 2000 and in the top five for airports that handle between 15 and 25 million passengers annually.

And let’s not forget the people who work at Melbourne Airport; the flight services people, the ground crew, airport security and their forensic basset hounds and the cleaners, who must know when I’m coming so that the toilets are inevitably closed for a service when I land.

All of these people accommodate the heroics as well as the inevitable low-bred behaviour of passengers on a daily basis.

They are the bone fide stars of this Airport Opera and deserve our thundering applause.

Bravo (Oscar) ... bravo (Romeo) ... bravo (Charlie). \ boomboom@rachelberger.com

Moorabbin Airport \ A while back I had a couple of flying lessons at Moorabbin Airport and, regrettably, I doubt I’d be allowed back on the tarmac. My call sign was Oscar Romeo Charlie; I was so over-excited I repeated the words Oscar Romeo Charlie so often that finally an exasperated voice from the tower requested I stop talking. Moorabbin Airport is the major centre in Victoria for training, charter and private flying and is the home of the Australian National Aviation Museum.

This community-based, not-for-profit company is owned and operated by the Australian Aircraft Restoration Group, whose volunteers have saved several significant examples of Australia’s aviation heritage. \ Avalon Airport \ When Linfox purchased Avalon Airport from the Commonwealth in 1997, it was employing only 150 people on a fulltime basis. Today about 1000 people are employed full-time at Avalon, with many more in associated support industries. In little more than a decade, Avalon Airport has not only turned itself around to be a major player in the Geelong-Melbourne area, but in October this year, after many years of Linfox’s attempts to make it happen, the federal government finally announced the selection of Avalon as the second Melbourne international airport. Not bad for a site purchased in 1952 to enable the construction and testing of the Canberra jet bomber. \

ew properties can match the sublime luxury delivered by this superb abode. Nestled in a tightly held pocket of Geelong, just a block back from The Esplanade, the warehouse-converted residence spans two levels and includes a three-person lift.

The sweeping views of Corio Bay from the upstairs entertainment deck will make the new owner of this house the envy of their friends.

The property is spread over 34 squares, which is spacious given its inner-city location.

Timber double doors in black make for a sleek entry to the property. Inside, polished concrete sets the tone for the modern interior.

The lift to the top level is around to the left, but if you’re not in a hurry you can always opt for the staircase, which is made from gorgeous recycled hardwood with a cutting-edge black-metal balustrade.

An eye-catching orange feature wall in the stairwell offers the first splash of colour in the mostly understated entrance, a teaser of what’s to come upstairs.

The second-storey floor plan makes the most of the bay vista from every viewpoint.

The main bedroom, to the right of the staircase, is roomy and carpeted, with large built-in wardrobes. Expansive windows ensure a stunning outlook every day.

Warm terracotta tones have been used in the en suite, which includes a wide shower, toilet and vanity.

The carpeted hallway continues along the back of the residence and leads to the further two generously sized bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes.

The main bathroom has a corner bath, and there’s a laundry, toilet and a double built-in storage cupboard at the rear.

The carpet continues into the formal living area, which is sun-filled, thanks to the northerly outlook.

Picture-rail detailing on the walls adds character to the contemporary design.

The real estate cover story (right), We Love It property reviews on the following pages have been visited by TWR journalists. Agent’s Choice and Out of Town are real estate promotions provided by the agents unless tagged as written by a TWR journalist.

The living area leads into the open-plan kitchen and dining but retains a sense of privacy.

Floating polished timber floors feature in the kitchen and dining area, setting it apart from the rest of the upstairs rooms.

The kitchen has plenty of cupboard space, stainless-steel appliances and a tiled splashback with bursts of orange.

Downlights are mixed with circular feature light fittings.

The combination of the mocha wall in the dining area and the vibrant red on the back of the breakfast bar in the kitchen make for a welcoming yet edgy space ideal for dinner parties.

Floor-to-ceiling windows on both walls of the nearby sunroom allow the kitchen and dining area to enjoy northern and eastern views of the bay.

The sunroom, or second living room, is extremely roomy and can accommodate a study or office area if needed. It is bathed in sunshine. Screened doors allow the bay breeze to drift in, without the mozzies.

Three sets of sliding double doors open this room up to the expansive outdoor deck that continues along the width of the residence. The spectacular view makes this the perfect place to see in the new year, as it is a prime position for taking in the fireworks display.

This house is ideal for couples on the go who are looking to be close to the CBD and surroundings.

Alternatively, retirees planning to downsize close to the city will find it extremely appealing, as will those looking for a savvy investment – it is currently let as corporate accommodation.

There’s a big double garage with remote-controlled doors and high ceiling, offering room for a yacht – if you’ve got one.

The garage has internal access to the foyer.

Other convenient features include central heating and cooling, video intercom, private front entrance and security system. \ Sarah BieSke property@theweeklyreview.com.au

newtown It’s the details that make this stunning fourbedroom family house shine.

All these lovely touches were thoughtfully selected by the owners 14 years ago during building and exude a timelessness and elegance that runs through the property.

Cedar bay windows in the rear dining room are matched with cedar trim in the adjoining kitchen, while textured stainless-steel benchtops are practical and striking, and detailed architraves, open fireplaces with tiled borders and custom-made blinds work effortlessly together.

Standing proudly on an elevated block the sandstone house has been designed in keeping with the area’s heritage and with garden views in mind.

Downstairs, the home wraps around a central courtyard.

The main bedroom, en suite with deep bath and shower, and study with french doors out to the courtyard sit off the entrance hall.

The carpeted formal lounge and dining area, with open fireplaces, are grand. Wooden floorboards add warmth to the sweeping living room, dining and kitchen area.

The laundry leads to a double garage and storage shed.

Outside, the partially paved backyard is ideal for basketball or teaching the kids to ride. The space is secured by an electronic gate.

Upstairs, three bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and study bench are separated by a huge bathroom with deep bath and shower.

In keeping with the attention to detail, a reading nook captures the soft morning light. \ MARY-JANE DAFFY

Walking into this house is like taking a step back in time. It’s cute and bursting with character, but has subtle touches giving it a chic edge that brings it up to date.

The cottage front has polished timber floors and features a gorgeous exposed brick arch through to the dining area. It has a servery window to the kitchen.

The front living area features an open fireplace and lining board ceiling, while the timber kitchen has a skylight and steps to the elevated walk-in pantry. Up another short flight of stairs is the hallway with parquetry flooring.

There’s a downstairs bathroom with leadlight window, a carpeted second living area at the rear, a bedroom with understair storage and a laundry. Three more bedrooms upstairs are decorated in fresh neutral tones.

The back half of the house is deceptively large, as is the private backyard with paved entertainment area. A carport at the front offers off-street parking. \ SARAH BIESKE

Ray White Highton \ 5241 1331 35 Merlot Street Price \ $445,000 – $475,000 For sale

A contemporary design and smart layout make this property a great prospect. All of the living space is upstairs, making the most of the block’s elevated position.

The kitchen has stainless-steel appliances, freestanding oven, dark wood cupboards and ample bench space. The large lounge has space for all the family, while there is also a theatre room. Glass double doors open to a partly undercover wooden deck.

The main bedroom is upstairs and has walk-in wardrobes and an en suite with double vanity. There’s a powder room and built-in linen cupboard between the main bedroom and theatre room. The remaining three bedrooms are all downstairs and have built-in wardrobes.

The ground-floor bathroom is spacious, while there’s also a study, and second living room.

A fresh, neutral palette has been used throughout. The front and rear yards are low maintenance. \ SARAH BIESKE

Haygarth \ 5221 0388 2 Elizabeth Street Price \ $600,000+ Auction \ December 16 at 11am

Inner-city living doesn’t get much better than this.

Fully renovated with just the right blend of old and new, this house is ideal for singles or couples on the go.

The exterior is striking and stylish, the inspired colour combination of blue and white giving the house its own identity in a neighbourhood packed with renovated character houses and creating a real sense of style that continues on the inside.

There is a formal sitting room at the front of the house with an exposed-brick feature wall and fireplace.

The three bedrooms are all of good size, while ornate ceilings and timber shutters give character to the otherwise modern design.

The bathroom with floor-to-ceiling tiles is on-trend, while the tiled storage room at the end of the hallway could be used as a laundry or utility room.

The open-plan kitchen, dining and living area at the back of the house oozes personality and has decorative wall panelling and gorgeous bamboo floors.

French doors open to the large deck and low-maintenance courtyard.

Perhaps the most surprising thing about the property is the large garage with painted concrete floors. It’s big enough to house four cars and is currently being used as a laundry space.

With downlights and double doors that open to the deck, this space makes an ideal undercover entertainment area. \ SARAH BIESKE

Searching for a frame large enough to fit your treasured, signed football guernsey? Needing to frame something a little unusual?

Look no further than Easternview Picture Framers, specialising in custom-made frames for pretty much … anything! Don’t believe us? As well as photos, memorabilia and stitch works, owner Angela Oakley recalls one order that framed the remains of a seahorse.

If that’s not personalised custom service, we don’t know what is. A customised frame is the perfect way to immortalise that special moment.

Make sure you also check out the gallery at the front of the shop displaying pieces from local artists. \

Jenny Lewis loves a challenge, and when she’s told a piece of jewellery is broken or tangled beyond salvation she makes it her mission to prove her critics wrong. However, Utopia Beads and Accessories doesn’t only repair your favourite accessories. Group and one-on-one workshops are available to help you create your very own custom pieces or replica of that necklace that was just a little too pricey. Choose from a diverse selection of beads and other jewels, including Swarovski crystals and pearls. But beware – it’s an addictive new hobby. \

If you’ve been following the coverage of Darrell Lea closures during the past year, you wouldn’t be blamed for assuming that all that was left of the Australian icon were boarded-up windows.

I was also under that impression before stumbling across Malop Street’s Darrell Lea, which has been there for 40 years and isn’t planning on going anywhere. Only company-owned shops were closed, meaning franchises such as this remain open, providing you with your favourite confectionery treats, including Darrell Lea’s best-selling signature liquorice, “the best liquorice by a country mile”. \

It’s that time of the year, when the sun shines bright and the days seem to last forever. That’s right, folks, it’s summertime, so this summer don’t lock yourself up in a cramped, stuffy car. Enjoy the sunshine, get around and get fit with a bike, the best mode of summer transport.

At Bicycle Superstore, finding a bike for every member of the family is made easy by the friendly staff helping you choose the perfect machines. Bicycle Superstore caters to all your cycling needs with an extensive range of accessories and a variety of styles. \

Tucked away in every corner, guitars surround you as you enter A and B Musical Instruments. Though specialising in guitars, the shop sells all instruments. It also offers maintenance services including the refurbishing and setting up of guitars. Receive personalised service from staff who are not simply retailers but experienced players themselves, with up to 47 years’ experience. But A and B doesn’t just equip rockers – it makes them, with a complete music school upstairs teaching all instruments to as many as 150 students. \ PaulinE ErnEsto
