T

he L’Oréal Melbourne Fashion Festival (LMFF) is arguably this nation’s premier consumer event. CEO Graeme Lewsey affectionately crowns it “a happy marriage of fashion, beauty and business”.

This year the festival is showcasing something that has not been done properly here before – a runway show celebrating the infinite beauty of bespoke design. In Australia this is often wrongly labelled as “couture”, which, for myriad reasons of legal, tradition, discipline and authenticity, is a term that cannot be used outside Paris.

The tradition of bespoke custom-made, made-to-order or whatever you want to label it is any designers’ gilded shield. It is their ticket to create without restrictions and, as Lewsey says, “it is a magical lot of ingredients that gives birth to the end product”.

Akira, Aurelio Costarella, Collette Dinnigan, Rachel Gilbert, Gwendolynne and Toni Maticevski are renowned masters of fabric and design. Their ready-to-wear or off-the-rack creations are quickly snapped up and coveted all over the world.

But little do people know that they have burgeoning bespoke business where their creations take on another life.

Lewsey states that when he first had the idea to include this often-overlooked and misunderstood niche area of bespoke bridal/formal wear, his aim was to showcase “the pinnacle of Australian design and to celebrate bespoke business”.

Why misunderstood, I ask, and he says “there is a thin line between kitsch and taste”. I wholeheartedly agree, especially when it comes to bridal wear.

The Red Carpet Runway is the week’s benchmark show. Lewsey is excited that this show will “raise the bar by celebrating, highlighting and harnessing all that is good in the Australian fashion industry”.

In an overcrowded market where everyone has an opinion on what is in and/or out, it is nice to allow the consumers to make up their own minds.

LMFF caters to the fashion suave and novice alike; it is fashion democracy working at its best. \ dnaidu@theweeklyreview.com.au

theory that C02 causes global warming is a fallacy. Heat generated by our bodies is the real cause.

My activities continually generate heat. In the morning I take a hot shower, cook breakfast, wash the dishes, drive a car. At night my television and lights produce heat, as do athletes. Imagine the heat generated by the Geelong Cats.

Here’s what we could do to reduce global warming: Take cold showers, eat only uncooked foods, read books, go to bed early, impose a tax on physical sports. And instead of driving cars, ride a bicycle – slowly!

■ Rebecca,

welcome to Geelong, the best city in the world (“A fresh pair of eyes,” TWR, February 28).

Don’t play the “it’s always been done this way so it has to be kept this way” card. In the past we have had to put up with some ordinary behaviour by people we trusted. Excuse me if we appear bruised.

One of your hurdles will be the people’s lack of interest in the Committee for Geelong. The ordinary citizen often feels they are being bulldozed into decisions not necessarily in their best interests.

Good luck, Rebecca. I sincerely hope you can make peace with the community and gain their trust.

a Madre is as close to heaven as bread fans are going to find in this world. Warm, yeasty smells, shelves of freshly baked bread and the bakers are always busy working behind a large window.

Many plan a visit to the Bell Park bakery to coincide with their favourite bread coming out of the oven – maybe a chewy ciabatta or a dense rye tin loaf or a sweet and spicy hot cross bun.

La Madre is one of the big success stories on the food front in Geelong. Owners Anna Spurling and Tez Kemp embraced a huge life change as they built up the business over the past six years.

Spurling, a Geelong girl, met Kemp while working in London. With backgrounds in marketing, they moved to Geelong in 2006 and bought the three-year-old La Madre from Croatian baker Antun Spoljaric. Kemp worked closely with Spoljaric, retraining as a baker. The business has grown from six to 32 employees as people embraced the traditional, handmade range.

Working around the clock, and taking care of four young children, Spurling has made many personal sacrifices to ensure the bakery’s success.

La Madre relocated to bigger premises, quadrupling the floor space, three years ago – and all without missing a baking day.

Sustainability is another key feature of the bakery.

A heat shifter moves heat from the ovens to warm the offices in winter. Rainwater, solar hot water and recycling are also used. La Madre hot cross buns are carbon neutral and completely offset by carbon credits.

As the bread supplier for this year’s Melbourne Food and Wine Festival, Spurling says the team has been baking some fun new products. \ mobrien@theweeklyreview.com.au

La Madre 18 Milton Street, Bell Park

for fans of artisan-baked bread, La madre is something special. using a long fermentation process, sourdough is made with unbleached organic flour, a natural starter and no preservatives or additives.

The seeded sourdough and the potato and rosemary sourdough (a finalist in the 2012 delicious magazine produce awards) are among the most popular loaves, Spurling says. On the sweet front, double-chocolate lamingtons and fig and raisin garibaldis are favourites.

Of course, in the lead-up to easter, La madre ovens are busy turning out hot cross buns and a twist on the traditional – chocolate-cherry buns.

The spelt (an ancient grain) range was brought out in response to requests from customers who wanted a low-gluten alternative. The olive sourdough uses mount Zero olives.

The flourless orange cake is gluten- and dairy-free. green eggs, Jonesy’s milk and Belgian chocolate are some of the quality ingredients used in the sweet range. \

grassroots ideas \ Swaps are about making produce distribution a more equitable thing, writes SARINA LEWIS

atherine Gillet smiles as she recounts the fingerless crocheted gloves she scooped up in exchange for a dozen eggs. “Where else in this world could that happen?” she says, laughing, as we take a seat on a sunny Norlane footpath table beside a bunch of fragrant rosemary and a cane-weave basket spilling over with the orange blush of apricots.

Gillet has agreed to meet here, at the food swap shop, to speak about her food vision for Geelong: one that has inspired creation of a regular series of food swaps at the behest of Food Skil, a social enterprise project.

“Food Skil was set up about a year ago to basically solve the problem of food insecurity in Geelong’s northern suburbs,” Gillet explains, the initiative arising out of a City of Greater Geelong survey that found the area poorly serviced for access to fresh fruits and vegetables. “Basically in suburbs housing 27,000 people, there were only two grocers among a huge number of takeaway outlets and a few supermarkets.”

But while the area may be disadvantaged when it comes to retail access to wholesome produce, the same can’t be said of its inhabitants’ capacity to provide for themselves: with these suburbs hallmarked by large blocks and smaller houses, Gillet says about two-thirds of residents cultivate their own vegetable gardens. And so the foundation for the food swap was set.

“The food swaps are about making food distribution more equitable because supermarkets have so much control over the food [cost and availability],” Gillet explains, suggesting the food swaps are part of a larger plan to cultivate a cashless society. “The food swap is about sharing what you have in excess with other people that don’t have it.”

She talks freely of the regulars who bring a whole tree’s worth of apricots and plums or the groaning excess of a stellar tomato harvest. But Gillet is quick to add that even those whose garden spaces yield minor amounts are more than welcome.

“It’s an honesty system,” she says. This means that there are those who give much and take little, just as the reverse is true. Yet the food swappers remain accepting of them all. “If they don’t have it, and I do, then they need it more than me. It’s as simple as that.”

What’s left at the end of each swap is open for cheap sale. The food swap shop also supplies fruit, veg and dry goods at prices that can be up to a $1 per kilo less than that of the supermarkets.

At times (like the cherry plums of today) there may even be fruit to give away when quality is not deemed to be of commercially saleable standard but the produce is deliciously edible, nonetheless.

Gillet sees it as a true community endeavour, mentioning the local chef who volunteers her time one day a week to cook up batches of delicious dips and sustainable food swap meet preserves from any excess produce that is then put on sale in the shop at a fraction of regular retail prices. ex-agricultural workers in this area and they know (Next she’ll make Indian lemon pickle from the excess what real food tastes like; they know what to do with of the yellow citrus.) cheap food.”

BROTHERS BY DEGREES EDUCATION \ This family is learning fast, writes CHERYL CRITCHLEY

M

any modern families now boast a university graduate and several undergrads among siblings. But not when they are aged just 14, 16 and 18.

Ben Kaiser, 16, is about to finish a double degree as Josh, 14, starts second-year civil engineering at Deakin University in Waurn Ponds. Oldest brother Jack, 18, will join Josh to do first-year biomedical science.

It is a remarkable achievement but none of the brothers, who live on a large, idyllic rural property outside Geelong, think they are anything special.

They just love doing subjects that stimulate them.

Dad Stephen, who runs craft-supplies business Kaisercraft with wife Carolyn, now jokes that their youngest son Sam, 10, hopes to skip high school altogether. “He thinks he’s going to finish primary school and then he’s going to start mechatronics engineering at Deakin,” Stephen says.

The Kaiser boys attended Bannockburn Primary School, where they were good at maths but didn’t overly stand out. Like most boys, they did what they had to do to get by.

When teacher Ryan Healy encouraged them to push themselves, Ben and Josh realised they excelled at maths and science. But both were bored and uninspired when they started high school, so Stephen and Carolyn registered them for home schooling.

They discovered the boys could enter university early through Open Universities Australia, as it did not require an ATAR tertiary entry ranking.

In year 8, Ben developed popular free iPhone apps Skill Builder Numeracy and Skill Builder Spelling. Later that year he started university. After passing three subjects over summer he decided to continue with university study by enrolling in the RMIT

Outstanding: Ben (left) and Josh Kaiser have shown exceptional academic ability.

bachelor of IT and Swinburne University of Technology bachelor of business.

His parents had said that Ben, whose iPhone apps have been downloaded more than 100,000 times, could start university if he passed the three subjects that he had attempted over the summer semester. He achieved two high distinctions and a distinction.

Ben worked on his degrees off campus via Open Universities Australia, setting himself up in the huge back shed of the family’s 150-hectare property. It’s a teenager’s dream with old couches, a huge flat-screen television and speakers for loud music.

He finished the IT degree and will finish the business course in May when he turns 17, becoming one of the youngest Open Learning Australia graduates in its 20 years.

The IT whiz has already had a job offer but dreams of working for Google. He has applied but the company forbids ages on applications so won’t realise this outstanding university graduate is just 16. “They see my marks and they think of it as a 24-year-old’s degree,” he says.

Josh was inspired to pursue engineering after designing and building a model bridge at primary school. “We had to make the concept of it and then I had materials like balsa wood and all the wires and stuff to make the model bridge,” he says.

After leaving high school in term one of year 7, Josh has just finished a year-long engineering diploma with the Melbourne Institute of Business and Technology (MIBT). Most fellow students were in their 20s.

Instead of doing year 8, last year he became the youngest ever student at MIBT at Deakin University’s Waurn Ponds campus, studying science, maths, physics and English. Initially he did two subjects to ease into the pathways course at MIBT, which is part of education company Navitas.

In the first two semesters Josh won four highest-achiever subject awards and scored five high distinctions. He received another three HDs in the third semester, taking his total to eight HDs in eight subjects, including 95 or higher in four of them.

At first, attending tertiary classes was a bit intimidating but Josh’s adult classmates made him feel welcome. “I’m generally known as the smart guy and a lot of people come to me for help,” he says.

MIBT college director/principal Dr John Duncan says Josh was closely supervised to ensure that he coped. “Josh is an extremely gifted student and MIBT wanted to accommodate his needs and keep challenging him to reach his full potential,” he says.

Josh is fine about mixing with older students and not fussed about them being able to drink and smoke. He hates both and doesn’t plan to do either when he’s 18. “My partying is going home and playing (computer) games with my brother,” he says.

Carolyn and Stephen are unsure where the boys’ talent comes from, although Stephen, who grew up in a farming community in nearby Russells Bridge, started his own business in his dad’s garage at 13.

He insists his boys are not geniuses but have great motivation. “I’ve been really passionate about giving them the opportunities to excel,” he says. “In both cases they’ve had to be motivated to do the things themselves. It sort of has to come from them.” \ ccritchley@theweeklyreview.com.au » www.mibt.vic.edu.au, www.deakin.edu.au

Hugh Wirth was initially fascinated by the story, In fact, whenever I mentioned working with Hugh then saddened by it. By the time he was speaking about Wirth to anyone, they’d almost invariably ask “Isn’t it publicly, he was calling the grandfather he had met he grumpy?” The other question was always “Is he only once as a child, with trademark crustiness, as married?” (He isn’t.)

Animal attraction: Vet and RSPCA Victoria president Dr Hugh Wirth with Lachlan and Miss Lexie.

He keeps his trips short when he goes overseas to board meetings for the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) to avoid missing the pets for too long.

His work with WSPA – the organisation that takes on large-scale issues such as stray dogs in Bali and bear bile farms in Asia – is less well known in Australia than his RSCPA roles. (Wirth headed RSPCA Australia for 21 years and is still on its board.)

He joined the London-based WSPA in 1993, a colonial upstart who ruffled the ranks of the conservative organisation by telling them off for having too many English and east-coast Americans on the board.

He then rose through various positions to become the organisation’s global head in 2004, the first non-European to do so.

Wirth also upset members of his own profession in Australia early on with his outspoken comments – with a very different outcome. He fell out with the Australian Veterinary Association in the 1980s over his activism with the RSPCA and still rues the rift, if not the comments.

Aside from that, he has no regrets about the stances he has taken on animal welfare. His stubborn nature and an extraordinary surety of self leave little room for contrition.

Wirth attributes his feisty temperament to his early days growing up with a strong mother – he clearly admires strong women – and the influence of Xavier College. As a teenager he argued vigorously and often with the Jesuits at the school, whom he also credits with teaching him how to think.

It was during his years studying veterinary science at the University of Queensland that Wirth learnt, through an influential professor, about intensive farming. He has spent decades campaigning against the “factory farming” of chickens and pigs, and confining cattle to feedlots.

Live-animal export is the other big thorn in his side.

Wirth is convinced that opponents of the “cruel trade” will eventually put an end to it.

One thing I always wondered about Hugh Wirth was how he handled being exposed to so much animal cruelty over the decades. Didn’t it get to him?

“Fortunately all my dogs are excellent listeners so I can have an angry tirade when I get home, have a Scotch in the evening, get over it and keep going,” he says.

“The thing that keeps me going is that we get victories every so often and any incremental progress is good.

We get less examples of the cruelty we’ve been fighting against,” he says.

As we talked I sometimes noticed a tremor in Wirth’s left hand. He revealed that he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease four years ago. The disease has put an end to such activities as labouring in his garden, but he is only bothered by it in the sense that it, like old age, might one day affect his voluntary work.

In true Wirth spirit, he intends to keep that work up as long as he can draw breath. \ editorial@theweeklyreview.com.au

The City of Greater Geelong spends $1 million a year contributing to local events and often provides entertainment. It organised free bands, fireworks and the Roulettes for this year’s Festival of the Sails.

Geelong also benefits from regional events such as the Rip Curl Pro, to be held at Bells Beach from March 27 to April 7, and the Great Ocean Road Marathon on May 18-19.

While established diary dates continue to grow, new players are making their mark. Last year’s inaugural Just Cars Geelong Revival evoked memories of the Geelong Speed Trials, which roared along Ritchie Boulevard on the waterfront from 1956-2003.

The new show focused on older cars and introduced live blues music, a market and fashions on the field, which saw everything from a Marilyn Monroe lookalike to outfits depicting the flapper period of the 1920s and rockabillies from the 1950s.

About 40,000 local, interstate and overseas visitors saw 500 cars on show and 300 racing down the boulevard, including a 1929 Le Mans Bentley.

This year’s revival, on the weekend of November 30 and December 1, will be bigger and better and may continue into the Saturday night. “Last year we finished at 5pm but everyone wanted to keep partying,” event director Nicholas Heath says.

Entry is free, which Heath says adds to its appeal as a celebration of local culture, Geelong’s strong links to car manufacturing through Ford and the region’s general revitalisation. “One of the reasons it’s called Geelong Revival is it’s not just about the event; Geelong has undergone a revival in the last 20 years,” he says. \ ccritchley@theweeklyreview.com.au » www.geelongaustralia.com.au www.nationalcelticfestival.com www.geelongrevival.com.au www.pakofesta.com.au www.greatoceanroadmarathon.com.au

D

on Loffler has published yet another book on Holden, this one covering from the first 48-215 (the “FX”) to the 1966 HR. If you’re wondering why – after all, it’s his fifth book on the early Holdens – just ask him about his childhood.

As a nine-year-old, the son of a school teacher, Loffler lived in the tiny Murray-Mallee town of Wanbi, near Loxton, South Australia, when he heard Australia was building its own car. He couldn’t wait to see it.

“I remember very clearly the day that car was announced and unveiled by prime minister Chifley,” he says, his mind drifting back to those halcyon times.

He was, as he says, “already very keen on cars” and cut all the pictures he could find out of newspapers and magazines and mounted them on cardboard. “They became my first car treasures.”

He even remembers the day he saw the car for the first time. That was in a showroom at Loxton. “For me it was love at first sight, and when the sales manager gave me a brochure, I was almost delirious with excitement,” he says.

Sadly, his childhood treasures were thrown out. “I still grieve over that,” Loffler says. “What you see in Holden Days (his latest book), all those brochures have been lent to me.”

It was more than 30 years (1981) after that first Holden sighting that the idea for a book came to him. His son needed a school project and Loffler suggested one on Holden. He knew a lot about the Holden.

Off they went to Adelaide’s State Library to rummage through 1948 newspapers. Here they discovered “the whole story of the drama of the release of that Australian car”.

This got Loffler thinking. But it was really two Holden

Sport \ BASKETBALLER JACOB PUPAVAC IS WALKING TALL, SAyS ANDREW MATHIESON

W

hen Jacob Pupavac was gifted his first senior appearance for the Geelong Supercats last week, the 203-centimetre giant was momentarily the tallest player on the court.

Sure, it was just 80 seconds of a preseason trial against rivals Ballarat Miners only when more seasoned teammates got into foul trouble, but the occasion was still not lost on this 15-year-old basketball prodigy.

“To go up against stronger men prepares you better,” Jacob says, reflecting on the experience. “I wouldn’t say, in my age group, you’re going to find many close-to-sevenfooters in Geelong.”

He got a run as a back-up tall in the absence of veteran centre Sebastian Loader, who might be lucky to shade Jacob for height but, according to genetics, maybe not for long.

Bob Pupavac saw the oldest of his two sons – Jacob’s brother, Tom, is 18 months younger and already stands a whopping 201cms – soar above him a couple of years ago and has since spoken to doctors about the growth spurts.

“It is hard to say, but I think they have got a few extra centimetres in them for sure,” Bob remarks. “We may be looking at around 6’10” or 6’11” (208 to 211cms), which would be fantastic. But when you’re over 200 centimetres, you’ve already got the height play this game.”

Jacob, who harbours ambitions to play college ball, would dwarf most players of the South East Australian Basketball League – the nation’s second-best competition behind the NBL – but it is his young age that would rule out a spot on this year’s Geelong roster.

Basketball Australia dictates he is only allowed to play one season with the men before hopefully flying out for the US in 2016.

Instead, Jacob will bide his time in the state under-23 youth league, where he is still giving away many years to opponents.

“He’s got quite a good skill base for someone of that size and his age,” explains Supercats coach Jamie O’Loughlin, who has drafted Jacob into the senior training group.

“We’re looking at him at projecting into being a highly skilled big man.

“He’s demonstrating the right attributes and he is a solid athlete, who works extremely hard. He has a lot of the right attributes for the platform to be a topline or elite-level player.

We’re keen to get him involved with the bigger bodies and the more experienced players.”

Jacob refers to the sessions with the Supercats teammates as “coming against some big kids”.

But it is many of them who are in awe of the bundle of long-limbed potential.

“I’ve talked to a lot of the senior players down at Geelong and they’ve heard of what I’ve done,” Jacob says. “They know what a great honour it is to wear green and gold [for Australia], some of them don’t get the chance and they’re a bit jealous almost.”

Since the first time he attempted to dribble the ball in the Montpellier schoolyard at barely six years of age, Jacob has routinely been drawing gasps from onlookers and attracting crowds of spectators.

And many times footy coaches have tried to turn him into their secret ruck weapon and lure him away from the sport he now loves.

“The first time I played basketball was because I was just tall,” Jacob says. “I played heaps of sports and basketball was one of the last I played. So I thought I’d give it a shot because I was a foot taller than the other kids.”

The signs of what was to come became clear

when the lanky kid turned out for a Geelong under-12s representative side.

Jacob was still the tallest player in the line-up, but amazingly was yet to blow out his ninth birthday candles.

Bob recalls watching his son jogging up and down the court, resembling something more akin to a newborn giraffe.

“He couldn’t run against kids two and three years older than him,” Bob says. “Parents came up to me after the game and said, ‘We don’t mean to be rude, but is there something not right with Jacob?’.

“I looked at them and asked what do you mean and they said, ‘Because he can’t really keep up with the other kids’. I told them that he is eight, turning nine and they just looked at me and apologised.

“But we’ve had that all our lives – the kids have been under 14s and under 16s, and parents have looked at them and think how can they be in this age group.” \ amathieson@theweeklyreview.com.au » www.sportingpulse.com/assoc_page. cgi?c=1-8823-0-0-0&sID=236829

instrument makers and builders, to garden suppliers and boat builders with sustainable timber, while simultaneously helping to relieve the financial burden on farmers forced to clear the trees from their land.

After being cut, the logs are graded. Some of the timber is too poor a quality for anything much more than garden use, but vast quantities are removed and sold according to grade.

Sheppard says establishing the grading scale has gone a long way to ensuring confidence among consumers, who can rest assured there are stringent quality control measures in place.

Certainly it is a huge market, and one Sheppard says is only increasing.

“People are becoming so much more aware of ecosystems and what is sustainable. They see on the TV that red gum forests are being locked up and the Murray is in crisis, so that language is creeping in,” he explains, noting trends such as the growing popularity of backyard vegetable gardens, and preferences for using recycled woods that are free from toxic processing to build beds and borders. “People are increasing their awareness about rainforests and the problems with treated pine and the chemical impregnation of timber.”

As for potential cypress shortages, the environmentally aware businessman says there is

t didn’t take long for a young Rod Sheppard to realise that the RMIT diploma of building for which he had enrolled after high school in the late 1970s wasn’t his way forward.

“It was all about multistorey buildings with repetitive floor plans,” Sheppard recalls more than 30 years on. “I thought, if you’ve got a choice between building with aluminium and concrete or timber and earth, then I’ll take timber and earth, thanks very much.”

Now, after years spent building mudbrick and “alternative-type” houses, the self-proclaimed eco-minded inventor again has propelled himself to the forefront of sustainability with his business, Golden Cypress.

A clever solution to the problem of ageing cypress groves planted as windbreaks on farms around Victoria, Sheppard has joined forces with sawmillers to save quality timber from disposal and waste, instead recycling and reselling the reclaimed wood.

“In the past when cypress trees were sick, old or redundant, farmers would simply bulldoze them into a pile and drop a match on to it,” he recalls.

Modern uses were not much better: sawmillers employed to clear the trees would salvage logs and turn them into low-cost garden sleepers for “beer money”.

“Because the millers were desperate, they were cutting for what money they could get locally. They would get this stuff and think, ‘it would make great guitars’ but it’s just going in to garden borders.”

He also points out the benefit to farmers who have previously had to pay big money to call in professional tree fellers (“it’s hideously expensive,” Sheppard says of the practice, “there is a lot of work getting machines on and off the site”). Not to mention problems of disposal.

Instead, by banding together a small group of Victorian sawmillers under one banner (“the bigger the brand, the more we can rescue”), Sheppard has successfully created a business supplying everyone from

little cause to worry about that in the near future.

“Generally these trees were planted prolifically at the turn of the last century – the early 1900s – and consequently they are all becoming sick, dangerous and old and are no longer fulfilling their purpose as windbreaks; that’s where we step in and rescue that timber, so there is a lot coming on stream at this time,” Sheppard says.

“It wasn’t until about three months ago that we had our first drought (in supply), which lasted for about a month and only because we had such a wet winter.”

Certainly the coastal farming area surrounding Geelong has been – and continues to be – fertile Farmers ground for sustainable picking. Though only would one of his sawmillers is based in the region bulldoze them outside Colac, Sheppard says much of the and drop a timber reclaimed is harvested from farms around Warrnambool and Portland through to match Bairnsdale.

The business is expanding to Tasmania, as more people involved in industries demanding quality, sustainable timbers become aware of Golden Cypress and its business practice.

As for Sheppard himself, he says the success of the business is now leading him to investigate new products.

When asked how he found his way to eco-friendly practices so early in the piece, long before terms such as “sustainability” gained popular currency, he shrugs: “I’m just hardwired that way,” he says.

“Why would you build or become involved with stuff that is a pollutant when you can build just as interesting – more interesting things – with products that don’t?” \ slewis@theweeklyreview.com.au heavy cypress framing

greater HOme \ To honour its heritage, Geelong has approved a new landmark, writes Sarah MarinoS “Community gardens. Fantastic design – building blending with park. Inclusive, community-focused, environmentally friendly design.”

“Innovative, exciting, green, shape, community friendly …”

“Light, vista of parkland, innovative shape are all inspirational.”

“It appears to integrate notions of a traditional – paper-based – cultural centre with the new opportunities for learning that are offered by new information and communications technologies.”

“I like its radical design, which people will either love or hate, but will attract attention. This is a good thing. I also like the way the dome appears to be ‘cut open’ to reveal the various layers (levels) and the boxes of green spaces.”

“The design will bring an iconic building to Geelong, which hopefully will attract local users and non-residential visitors.

The use of natural light and extensive windows gives the sense of seamless interaction with the park area.”

“Love the modern take of the spherical design. Works well with the surrounding environment.”

ON TOP OF THE WORLD

\ 50 VIEWBANK RISE, LOVELY BANKS, 3221

I

nside and out, this award-winning house has been designed to create a life of calm.

Its natural, elevated setting is nothing short of spectacular, with uninterrupted views of Corio Bay, spanning from the Bellarine Peninsula to Melbourne’s city skyline and the You Yangs.

It really does feel as though you’re sitting on top of the world, and double-glazed windows keep at bay the quiet hum of cars on the ring road below.

The house has been built to complement the rugged beauty of its surrounds and won an award for its creative design.

The current owners, who built the house eight years ago, wanted it to blend into the Lovely Banks hill, rather than stand out. They also wanted to maximise the views on offer without having to do an extensive site cut on the sloping 1.3-hectare block. And with three children, they wanted plenty of living space.

They ticked everything off their “must-have” list, with the end result an impressive contemporary abode with plenty of room for entertaining.

The exterior is multitextured with a mix of sand-coloured Boral designer blocks, timber and corrugated iron. The curved roofline with 1.2-metre eaves and split-level design is eye-catching – it’s original and modern, yet fits perfectly in the location.

A steep driveway creates a sense of anticipation as you make your way up to the house.

There’s a large paved front porch, the perfect spot to stop and take in the remarkable outlook.

Behind the glass-panelled timber front door is a sleek entrance hall. Natural finishes, from timber floors to the exposed-brick walls and windows overlooking a native garden with water feature, immediately create a peaceful ambience.

To the right, through wooden sliding double doors, is the open-plan kitchen, living and dining area. It’s surrounded by walls of windows, creating a breathtaking panorama at the front of the house, as well as the paved area and in-ground pool off the dining area.

FINaL WORD “THIS IS AN AWARD-WINNING FAMILY HOME WITH SPECTACULAR BAY VIEWS IN A GREAT LOCATION. NOTHING SHORT OF LUXURY LIVING AT ITS FINEST.’’ MARK MITCHELL – AGENT

The kitchen has stunning stone benchtops, cherry veneer cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances and glass feature doors. An island bench and wall bench provide abundant preparation space.

There’s a walk-in pantry to the left, while around to the right is a powder room with shower and toilet and storage cupboards.

A short flight of stairs to the left of the entrance goes down to the bottom level, where there’s a guest bedroom and a games room with entry to the lock-up remote-controlled double garage and underhouse storage room. There’s also a second lock-up double garage with a home office and toilet.

Another flight of stairs from the entrance takes you up to the third level and a second, more formal, living room. It’s carpeted, with a high ceiling and a built-in entertainment cabinet, as well as a stunning glass feature wall that looks down to the kitchen and living area.

Four bedrooms are on the third level.

The main bedroom has water views and opens to a private decked balcony. It also has a large en suite with spa bath and double shower, as well as walk-in wardrobes.

The other three bedrooms all have built-in wardrobes, while the main bathroom has a double vanity.

Stone benchtops and 2pac cabinetry are used throughout the house.

The laundry, with an expansive benchtop and deep drawers, is next to the bathroom, while there are built-in linen cupboards in the hallway.

Outside, native plants have been used to keep maintenance to a minimum. Two 159,000-litre water tanks, which can be fed through the house, also keep down water usage.

The in-ground pool is the perfect place to unwind, while the rear of the block is a blank canvas. It has been excavated and is large enough for a tennis court.

Just a short drive to the city centre and 50 minutes on the freeway to Melbourne, this is luxury living in a developing pocket of Geelong. \ SARAH BIESKE property@theweeklyreview.com.au

It’s hard not to fall in love with this charming weatherboard. Renovated by master builders, it has an appealing blend of old and new and is ideal if you’re after a low-maintenance lifestyle. A cream and white exterior creates a stunning façade.

The neutral colour palette continues inside, while polished floorboards are among the period features. Plantation shutters are a perfect finishing touch. The three bedrooms are at the front, to the left of the entrance, all with built-in wardrobes, while the main also has an open fireplace. Further along is a study, a separate toilet and bathroom. There’s a European laundry behind sliding doors, as well as a storage cupboard in the hallway. At the rear is open-plan kitchen, dining and living area. The kitchen has abundant bench and storage space, and there’s also a walk-in pantry, stainless-steel appliances and timber bifold doors to the backyard.

The landscaped yard has a paved area, artificial turf and a shed. The house has ducted heating, a split-system air-conditioner and an alarm system. \ SARAH BIESKE

This well-located Californian bungalow has plenty of potential; it offers a stylish, low-maintenance lifestyle within walking distance of Pakington Street. A front door with leadlight features leads to the polished floorboards of the entry hall. The two bedrooms, off this hall, have high ceilings and period light switches. The living room has a large open fireplace with timber surrounds. In open-plan style, a large dining area completes the central section of the house, which has ducted heating and cooling. The kitchen, which overlooks the backyard, is compact but well set out; a great spot for breakfast or a coffee and chat. Completing the house is a bathroom and laundry, with a large shower cubicle featuring a wall of glass bricks. The landscaped backyard is spacious; a vegetable patch or herb garden would fit neatly into the setting. The wide single garage is big enough to incorporate a workshop area. The land, measuring about 410 square metres, also offers great scope for an extension, subject to permits. \ PAUL CHAPPLE

Perfectly trimmed green hedges border the path to this towering double-storey house, which is equally grand inside. Decorative hall arches, chequered tiling and ornate ceiling roses are striking in the long entrance hall and in the carpeted open lounge and dining room. A study and separate powder room are tucked away at the front of the house. The rear half of the ground floor is given over to the large open-plan kitchen, meals and living area. Floorboards, timber cabinetry, and a wide island bench are drawcards in the kitchen. Through floor-to-ceiling glass doors an undercover outdoor room, sheltered from weather by thick plastic awnings, is perfect for any family occasion. This room overlooks the back garden with clipped hedges and pretty courtyard. The impressive first-floor features a rumpus room opening to a balcony and large main bedroom with en suite and walk-in wardrobe. Three more spacious bedrooms, all with built-in mirrored wardrobes, occupy the rear of this floor. The family bathroom has a deep bath and shower. Adjoining it is a separate powder room. \ MARY-JANE DAFFY

The owners have been told the house has a good vibe. It does.

There’s a hint of what to expect at the french-style double front door. The wide hallway has gleaming floating floorboards running down to the hub. Along the way is the study, which could

be a home office or fourth bedroom, and a big, but cosy, lounge. The hub comprises a kitchen, dining, living and outdoor area.

Bifold sliding glass doors lead to the expansive undercover outdoor section, which is north facing and well protected. More double glass doors from the living section lead to

another well-protected deck. There are so many places to retreat to, all cleverly connected to the central hub. From the kitchen another wide hallway leads to bedrooms two and three, serviced by a big bathroom. Then it’s the main bedroom. The walk-in wardrobe is huge, and the en suite has a spa bath.

Price \ $489,000 – $519,000

Plantation-style shutters add to the spacious feel. Only five years old, this house is big and has added features everywhere, from the high ceilings and extra-thick CaesarStone kitchen benchtop to loads of extra storage. It’s also handy to the Geelong Ring Road and just a short drive to the coast. \ PAUL CHAPPLE

Tradesmen and do-it-yourself enthusiasts and will absolutely revel in this property.

The quality built house is set on just over 1.2 hectares with dedicated workspaces galore. Detailed finishes throughout the house, including Tasmanian oak parquetry, ceiling roses and decorative wall paneling, give warmth and character. The timber kitchen, in which there is a combustion stove that doubles as a water heater, separates two spacious living areas and a study. The main bedroom has walk-in wardrobes, en suite and glass sliding doors leading to the garden. Three remaining bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and share a large bathroom and separate toilet. Spread out your tools and take on any project in the massive workshop that can hold four vehicles with space to spare. Another workshop is adjacent to the double garage and you can store everything in another shed with an adjacent smokehouse. It will be a challenge to get the kids out of the cubby house. There is also a large vegetable garden, orchard and chicken coop. \ TIFFANY PILCHER

Space abounds at this 4000-square metre block just a 15-minute drive from Geelong’s CBD. Once you’ve pressed the remote control to park in the double garage, a gorgeous house interior awaits. To the left, the lounge area prompts thoughts of fixing a drink at the built-in bar and taking a seat by the open fireplace.

A smaller, multipurpose area opens to the kitchen where slate floors, stone benchtops and leadlight pantry windows create a classy finish, which extends to the dining area alongside. A second lounge area with timber flooring is well lit. The north-facing side opens to a pergola-covered timber deck, fitted with cooking space and café blinds, enabling for year-round entertainment. A tank-fed water feature and trees nearby add a lush feel. On the other side of the house a solar-heated pool is easily accessible from several areas of the house. At the rear, two bedrooms with built-in wardrobes are flanked by a powder room, huge bathroom and an abundance of linen space. The main bedroom at the front, with a built-in wardrobe and en suite, allows the parents space from the kids. In short, this is a perfect family setting. \ NICK PRICE

If you’re after a house that oozes style and class, this period classic will be everything you want and more. Just a minute’s stroll from Simonds Stadium and Pakington Street’s river end, location is the first of many glowing positives. Upon stepping through the front grate, stained-glass windows adorning the front of the house immediately indicate character. Tasmanian oak floors grace the hallway, with two bedrooms on either side. There’s also two bathrooms, one of which adjoins the main bedroom.

The smallest bedroom can double as a study, opposite a spacious laundry and powder room. You are then lured to a stunning north-facing outdoor dining area. Bifold doors open the width of the house, creating ample space. Inside, the living room faces a massive kitchen including a central island bench, stainless-steel appliances and pantry, while outside, a built-in barbecue beside a beautiful bluestone fireplace is a dream setting. Parking is a breeze, thanks to a double garage with remote-control and spaces at the front and side of the house. \ NICK PRICE

With solid foundations, views of Corio Bay and an elevated position on a lovely street in a family-friendly neighbourhood, this house is primed for renovation.

The floor plan is easy to navigate, the design includes architectural details such as exposed beams and detailed cornices, and, with a little work, this house could shine. All three bedrooms are spacious and the sunny, north-facing main bedroom has a built-in wardrobe. The functional combined kitchen and dining area takes advantage of the sweeping, easterly water views and the adjoining front living area is warm and inviting. At the rear of the property is a second living area, large enough to be transformed into a home cinema or games room. The house is kept cosy with gas heaters in both living areas. Glass sliding doors lead to the huge paved area where you can relax in the shade or take in the sun from the raised lawn. A handy garden shed is at the rear of the single carport. Commuters and beachgoers will delight in the excellent location, with fast and easy access to the Melbourne Ring Road. \ TIFFANY PILCHER

Comfortable one bedroom unit at the rear of this complex is the cheapest property in Newtown by a long way.

Long term tenant for six years and happy to remain at $175.00 per week, or purchase for the kids and let them spread their wings.

Solid and Clean and Bricks and Mortar, very easy decision at this price.
