“In my experience, a lot of people coming out of reasonable levels of social disadvantage absolutely see the future.

“The best law student at Deakin two years ago was from Warrnambool … massive social disadvantage, single-parent family. Against all the privilege that everybody else had … he was clever, but he was absolutely focused on where the future was.”

It’s the “absolutely committed” students that continue to amaze den Hollander.

“You see it all the time – ‘This is what I’m going to do with my life’. You think ‘Gosh, that’s impressive’.

“That’s why we work in universities. You see it every day.” \ KIM NORBURY kimnorbury@theweeklyreview.com.au

letters to the editor PIGGYBACK ON A GOPHER ■ The other day in Belmont I saw a great example of people pooling their resources, although it was slightly alarming.

Here were these two dear old ladies, both possibly in their 80s, squeezed together on the same gopher, rattling along in the bicycle lane in High Street.

The back of their little electric gadabout was stacked high with groceries. I was concerned they wouldn’t make it up the next hill.

Hard times may have fallen on this elderly pair, but they weren’t about to stay at home and grumble.

They had at least joined forces to meet their transport needs.

concerned and many top producers from the north are buying land in the region. French winemakers have told me they make wine in the region because it sets them free from the rigid laws that govern winemaking in areas The such as Burgundy and french Hermitage.

This allows some to look down on country follow a dream by making wine from a grape they wines are passionate about, while others are diversifying and adding cheaper brands to their portfolios.

Thanks to the vin de pays classification, it’s open slather on the different grapes that can be grown in the Languedoc. The new world’s favourite grapes, such as chardonnay, sauvignon blanc and merlot, are represented among the region’s traditional grapes of marsanne, rolle (vermentino), grenache and carignan.

There’s more to Languedoc-Rousillon than its Pays d’Oc wines. It also has 18 appellations, which have incredible resources of old vines – many vineyards were planted more than 100 years ago – something that’s rarely found in France’s more exclusive regions.

Many of these vineyards are tended by fourth and fifth-generation families – similar to our Barossa. \ bthomas@theweeklyreview.com.au

f you’ve browsed the French wine aisles at your local wine merchant, chances are you’ve seen, or bought, wines labelled Pays d’Oc. You may have even wondered what the term meant – I know I have.

The two words tell us that the wine is a vin de pays – a “country wine”, which is a level above table wine, or vin de table, in French wine hierarchy – and the K) OC d’Oc indicates it’s from the vast Languedoc-Roussillon region in south-west France.

The French are said to look down on the country wines as being inferior to the appellation contrôlée (AOC) class of wines, such as Bourgogne and Côtes du Rhône, which place strict controls on the way wines can be made and the grapes that may be grown in many French regions.

Ignore the honest, often cheap, Pays d’Oc wines at the peril of your drinking pleasure, I say.

Languedoc-Rousillon, spanning the Mediterranean coast from the Spanish border through Perpignan and Montpellier to Nîmes, and with 283,300 hectares under vine, is the largest wine region in the world.

Travelling through the area, it quickly becomes apparent there isn’t much spare land that’s not planted with vines.

It’s France’s final frontier where winemaking is

Melbourne winemaker Adam Foster, who produces wines under the Syrahmi and Foster e Rocco labels, has been making wine in Languedoc-Rousillon’s Coillure appelation near the border with Spain for the past five years.

The opportunity came about by accident. Foster was supposed to be helping out in the northern Rhône valley with a highly regarded French winemaker, when timing and bad weather lured him south.

“In 2008 I was working at (restaurant) 312 as sommelier and Pierre Gaillard rang me up and asked if I’d like to help out in the northern Rhône. I went over there but arrived a month before vintage and he suggested I head down south and help out there,” says Foster. “Due to bad weather and a poor vintage in the north, I ended up staying there and loving it – so I asked if I could buy some grenache.”

Five years on, Foster is in France blending L’Imposteur wines from the 2012 vintage.

LEs MouLEs MariniÈrEs

LE civEt dE LaPin (raBBit cassEroLE)

(maggie bufe)

t’s a Wednesday. Or hump day. Just another standard midweek evening along Geelong’s Eastern Beach, where the occasional screech from hotted-up cars on the foreshore interrupts the strip’s quiet.

But upstairs at No. 15, it’s a very different mood.

Service at Geelong’s first French brasserie, Le Parisien, is in full swing and the bustle is more akin to a Friday night crowd. All is in order. Shirted male waiters attend to diners, swiftly taking coats, refreshing dwindling wine glasses and guiding first-time visitors through a menu hefty with options.

We’re ushered to a table by the window, a great vantage point for taking in the cavernous candlelit space. Behind me, a couple on the balcony watch the edges of the day slide behind a shimmering bay. Before me, the dining room has an air of grandeur and history helped by an abundance of timber, wrought iron, and framed handwritten praises from celebrities (Sam Newman et al.) cluttering the walls.

It’s been 36 years since Frenchman Jean-Paul Temple opened Le Parisien in Latrobe Terrace and introduced frog’s legs and snails to Geelong’s dining repertoire.

He’s since upgraded the location, moving in 1998 to the waterfront location above his son Peter’s casual bistro Wharf Shed Café, but otherwise little has changed.

The wine list is one of Geelong’s best. A 350-plus collection of mainly French wines with some cellared beauties, local drops and a solid selection by the glass.

The menu remains true to French brasserie classics.

Seafood chowder, chicken crêpes, brains and bacon, and steak au poivre jostle for room amid such favourites as oysters served three ways (Kilpatrick, brie and creamed spinach, chilli and garlic), and a confit of duck leg.

Sure, it’s a traditional menu but loyal clientele frequent Le Parisien for precisely that reason; they know what to expect. It’s timeless French fare, albeit heavy on the cream and butter. With prices that edge towards eyebrow-raising heights there’s an expectation that the execution will be spot on. On the night we visited, it wasn’t.

La Paté Maison didn’t reach great heights. The entrée paté pot, while smooth and rich with liver, could have benefited from more time out of the fridge. The accompanying salad of springy greens and a handful of red onion rings would have proved more refreshing with less mustard dressing.

Les Moules Marinières was a better dish. The steaming bowl of fleshy mussels piled into a bowl and drenched in a light creamy sauce had just the right amount of onion, white wine and parsley. A thick slab of baguette on the side received a good toasting and thick lick of garlic butter before serving. Perfect for absorbing the juices at the bottom of the bowl.

For those partial to escargots, half a dozen snails deliver exactly what’s promised. A fat whack of garlic and parsley sauce that coats the nicely resistant lengths of flesh scooped straight from the shells.

LEs EscarGots

It’s timeless French fare

Main dishes are more comfort-factor than wow-factor. The rabbit casserole, a meaty leg and loin (bones included), is flavoursome and filling but the predominantly mushroom and white wine sauce lacked consistency. A veal main delivered supple thin slices of the delicate meat but they were lost in a pool of rich cream sauce peppered with button mushrooms. A triangle of buttery scallop potatoes was lovely alongside a bundle of seasonal greens, so too a side of crisp pomme frittes.

For dessert, our waiter steered us towards the “famous” chocolate soufflé. It’s a 20-minute wait but the result is worthwhile. The soufflé is airy and light and we’re coaxed into scooping out the centre, dropping in

a ball of vanilla ice-cream, and pouring warm chocolate sauce from the porcelain jug on top. Everything melts and mingles and dances in the mouth and it’s evident how the soufflé earned its “famous” status.

An evening at Le Parisien is fun regardless of my food quibbles. The place has energy, the service is sharp and more likely than not Jean-Paul will visit the table at some point in the night and charm you with the wisdom of a man who has lived and breathed hospitality for nearly four decades. Hats off. \ mjdaffy@theweeklyreview.com.au to rEad MorE rEviEws

a waterside location, flickering candlelight and lofty timber cathedral ceilings are part of the oh-so-romantic charm on the second level of this tastefully renovated weatherboard boathouse. generous-sized tables, white tablecloths and polished waiters deliver a fine-dining air to otherwise rustic surrounds, dominated by thick timber panelling, floorboards and heavy roof beams. Words of praise from celebrity diners have been scribbled on paper and framed over the years and now jostle for space on the walls. Wide windows frame glimmering bay views and, outside, the elevated decking area dotted with wicker chairs and tables is a popular spot for lunch. \ may 30, 2013 \ The weekly review 9

y friend Don produces a car club magazine and he can’t spell to save himself. He always mixes the double and single-r in Ferrari and cannot accept that there are no double letters in Maserati. And while he always gets the Romeo correct, he tends to spell the first word Alpha. It’s Alfa, of course, for Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili.

He never misses Subaru and I asked him how he manages this. Simple, he said, backwards in text speak Subaru is “u r a bus”.

Could he spell continuously variable transmission? It’s one of the big features of the new Forester (he always uses a double r in Forester, by the way). The other one, X-mode, should prove less challenging.

The continuously variable auto is a nicely progressive transmission seldom caught out and pleasingly economical with the 2.5-litre motor. It also makes for a flexible car, and works better than the bulk of conventional autos they’re putting in SUVs these days, the ones that change down so early the motor is on the point of labouring.

And X-mode is essentially a computer program balancing load, torque and road conditions to give the best grip possible. It’s something you notice on dirt roads (where it works nicely) and also in tight, hard cornering where the Forester displays surprising grip for something of its weight and height.

Foresters have always been flexible cars that you can drive off-road with confidence.

UMPIRING HAS NEVER BEEN SO GLAMOROUS, WRITES ANDREW MATHIESON

W

hen Brydie Grossman began running boundary lines on ovals around Geelong last year, she was just another footy umpire, her face lost among the crowd of the usual beer-guzzling supporters and the sound of tooting car horns.

Less than 12 months later, the laid-back 17-year-old swapped blowing her whistle for parading on a catwalk.

In her quest for a high-end career in the fashion world, Grossman was flown to New York earlier this year for talks with some of the city’s most prestigious modelling firms.

Already two of them are in a battle to sign the Breakwater beauty. You can bet she will pocket more than she was paid for flipping hamburgers at McDonald’s part-time while at school and her Saturday pocket money umpiring in the Geelong & District and Bellarine football leagues.

But despite the possibility that posing in front of cameras could one day reap Grossman millions of dollars, following the Sherrin is her true passion.

“I love my footy – it’s always been a part of my life,” Grossman says.

“I have even had other umpires say to me that you don’t seem like the type of person that would like footy, but I tell them I do.”

Her love for the game started with her dad, Bernie, an ardent St Kilda fan who first organised bus trips to games in Melbourne nearly 25 years ago. His pool room in the family home, filled with pieces of historic Saints memorabilia, would put many football club walls and trophy cabinets to shame.

The umpiring can be traced back to her uncles Graham and Paul Grossman, long-time whistleblowers, and older brother Ryden, who took it up in recent years.

In her maiden season, Grossman officiated

She is unfazed when dealing with senior players and the ungrateful patrons behind the boundary fence.

“Sometimes it can be hard,” Grossman says. “You always hear people say stuff to you.

“You learn to forget about it quickly. It’s nothing too bad – just people being a bit stupid because you’re a female.”

While fitness and friendship were behind her initial motivation to umpire, Grossman is determined to keep improving her boundary skills, including throw-in accuracy, body positioning, keeping pace and reading the play.

Two faces: Brydie Grossman is a budding footy umpire – and an aspiring model (supplied)

throw the ball in,” Grossman says, “but now I can do it properly and run out a full game.

“I don’t really see myself as a model because I am not doing much work at the moment.

“It gets a bit weird because I live a normal life.”

After friends and, sometimes, even strangers told her she could be a model, Grossman applied to fashion scouting agencies. In an industry where agencies approach models – not the other way around – she was told her chances of a career were slim, but Melbourne’s Primodels welcomed her advances.

After five months of training, she did portfolio photo shoots that led to her jet-setting off to New York for 10 days in January. She was one of only five Australian girls from more than 100 models on the fashion agency’s books to visit 25 modelling companies.

First thing on her agenda on her return home was to tone up at the gym three times a week ahead of applying for a US working visa.

Having postponed year 12, Grossman is still pinching herself that she could be working in the Big Apple by the end of the year.

“This is pretty much every girl’s dream,” she says. “I never thought it would happen.

I really never thought I would get into the company, but to get these opportunities is like just, wow. It’s really happening for me.” \ amathieson@theweeklyreview.com.au » http://www.gful.com.au/

Enid Mayfield with her book Flora of the Otway Plain and Ranges 2.

(Gail ThoMas) 14 The weekly review \ may 30, 2013

estled in a bright airy office under towering canopies of historic trees in Geelong’s Botanic Gardens, Enid Mayfield is literally putting plants under the microscope.

Mayfield is a botanical illustrator and researcher and has been based at the gardens for the past 12 years.

Her painstaking work has culminated in the recent release of Flora of the Otway Plain and Ranges 2 (CSIRO Publishing $59.95), an impressive tome covering 480 species of daisies, heaths, peas, saltbushes, sundews, wattles and other shrubby and herbaceous dicotyledons.

Interestingly, it wasn’t until she was in her mid-30s that Mayfield discovered her hidden artistic talent.

“I was playing with a palette of colours my children got for Christmas, as I always wanted to draw plants, and a friend commented on how good the paintings were,” says Mayfield, whose work is held in the state collection of botanical art.

“I did a two-year course in botanical illustration at Burnley and managed to get an appointment at the national herbarium in Melbourne as an illustrator, where I still do some work twice a week.

“Previously I was a teacher and had done curriculum design and development, concentrating on curriculum design scope and sequences, which was the background for doing the book.”

Having spent years in the Otways and living in Johanna part of the time, Mayfield is inspired by the plants around her. But she says when she first went there she was frustrated because she didn’t know what anything was.

In 2006 Mayfield released a first volume of Flora of the Otway Plain and Ranges covering orchids, lilies, grass-trees, mat-rushes and other petaloid monocotyledons. It highlights the extraordinary and diverse flora of the region, which boasts finding temperate rainforests, mountain-ash forests, plants takes heathlands, plains and coastal dunes. Now, detective with this second volume, botanists and amateurs alike have a comprehensive field work guide at the ready.

“The flora of the Otways is subtle, not in-your-face or big and bold. But when you get in close it’s absolutely exquisite. As far as I know this book is the only one of its kind in Australia.

“It clearly sets out the identification of plants, so you just look across the labels at the key to what makes the plants different or you can go deeper and read about the botany and stories of the plants. I’ve covered everything I know that’s there. There are nearly 500 species in this volume and close to 200 in the first volume.”

Finding and identifying the plants takes an amazing amount of detective work. While some plants were easily accessed, Mayfield says finding others was a revelation. Sometimes people knew where particular plants were and were able to help her locate them, while in other instances it was a case of going back to the herbarium, looking at specimens collected 50 years ago, then going to that spot in the hope of finding them still there – “to find them at that same spot was magical”.

“I’ve got a known list of everything that’s in the region and I have permission to collect samples. But after collecting and identifying a specimen, a second opinion is also required. I have to draw it very quickly as plants don’t last long and sometimes I’ll get the gardeners here to grow it so I can get the fruit, otherwise I might have to go a year or two before I get it all.”

“The specimens are processed, either pressed or put in alcohol, have collection details made and eventually they are lodged at the herbarium. It’s unique to have a record of our flora at this particular time in our history plus a pressed specimen to go with the drawings.

“To help identify the plants, all my work is done under the microscope and what you can see with a hand lens in the field. I use a very fine lead pencil for drawing, then it’s done in watercolour with a triple O brush so it’s all very fine, detailed work.” \ gthomas@theweeklyreview.com.au

greater home \ Shenton church has been transformed into a theatre of dreams for Geelong students, writes SARAH MARINOS

T

he sturdy rafters still soar above the people below and the stained-glass windows throw patterns of light on the floor. The heavy wooden doors remain and there’s a nod to Shenton’s history in the foyer, where a pew provides some seating.

But in the past six months, the Ryrie Street church that has long been part of the Geelong community has been transformed from a neglected space to a fully equipped theatre for Geelong High School students.

The budding actors are planning a mid-year performance of The Importance of Being Earnest.

The 138-seat theatre blends modern equipment and design with the building’s heritage and, for performing arts co-ordinator Doug Mann, this latest incarnation of Shenton is a long-anticipated event.

“I’ve been here for 17 years and this was promised when I was lured from GPAC (Geelong Performing Arts Centre),” he says.

“Geelong High has a name for theatre and we’ve used this space as best we could. But the students had to perform on a flat floor and the audience had to sit on the hard, walnut pews.

“If you were towards the middle or back you couldn’t see what was happening. One day I remember picking up the carpet runners in the aisles and they just disintegrated in my hands. It took the gloss off what we did.” Mann has been a key figure in the development of Shenton into one of Geelong’s newest theatre spaces.

handmade \ The sea provides endless inspiration for up-and-coming jewellery designer Ada Hodgson, writes SArinA LewiS

An ocean of inspiration

A

da Hodgson is flashing a glamorously oversized ring on her right hand, a jagged crystal-like chunk of iridescent pink contained within a claw of textured silver.

It is a statement piece. A talking point and an easy entry into discussing the passion for nature that has inspired the latest range of handmade silver, crystal and resin jewellery created by the up-and-coming Geelong designer.

The “Animal, Vegetable and Mineral” collection of rings and pendants is a play on the intersection between nature and plastics inspired by a recent visit to America’s Yellowstone National Park.

“I found it so inspiring,” Hodgson says of the trip, during which she and her boyfriend cycled 4500 kilometres across the US. “Just viewing all these geothermal pools going endlessly down and lit by bacteria that grows in prisms of spectacular colour.”

The collection has been a long time coming. Currently doing a course in gold and silversmithing at RMIT, the 22-year-old has been creating and selling her designs since early childhood.

“My mum has a naturopathic clinic and I sold beaded bracelets at $3 and necklaces at $5,” she says, smiling indulgently at the child she once was. “It was a great hobby for me and all the clients bought them for their grandchildren.”

A high school that concentrated on design and technology fostered her talent and fed her passion.

It was a wise personal investment.

Hodgson’s talent is obvious and her pieces are eye-catching: to wit, a jagged piece of purple crystal held within a circular grip of silver moulded to resemble an octopus tentacle. For Hodgson, it represents where her inspiration lies.

“I grew up on the coast of Mission Beach, island hopping and scuba diving. I have a real affinity with the sea,” she says, musing that it is for this reason she works predominantly with silver and not gold.

“I feel silver is a reflection of the sea more than anything else, colour wise; my colours are very much blues and greens and silver. Gold feels more like treasure under the sea than the sea itself.”

18 The weekly review \ may 30, 2013

“The more i play and experiment, the more I enjoy the pieces and feel like they reflect me”

Wearable art: Each of Ada Hodgson’s pieces is a one-off (suppliEd)

Her jewellery has a distinct crystalline element, what with those beautifully inlaid knobbles and twisted spheres of coloured resin. But, if Hodgson is playing with resin to look like crystal, why not use crystals?

“I suppose it comes from the inspiration of liquids,” she says. Hodgson heats the resin to a liquid state before moulding it into shape and form. It also enables her to set the silver in the liquid resin, as opposed to constructing silver around crystal. It is a point of difference that encourages a more organic result.

Her work is receiving all the right attention, attracting local retailers and galleries with an eye for interesting pieces that are not easily replicated.

Hodgson is now working on what she calls “cast pieces”. The hand working and setting mean no two pieces can ever be alike.

It is a detail that clearly pleases her. The process she describes is intensely creative. She is led by the substances with which she works, the pieces creating themselves at her hand.

“I never start with a sketch,” she says. “I start with the materials and work from there. The more I play and experiment, the more I enjoy the pieces and feel like they reflect me and my designs and my aesthetic.”

Given the energy invested, it is unsurprising that prices reach as high as $400 for more intricate rings and necklaces (though prices begin around $35).

As for the future, Hodgson is curiously shy when discussing her aspirations. “I’m too humble to see myself as an artist,” she says when asked if she is a jeweller or an artist-in-the-making.

“I think it’s a fine line between becoming purely commercial or being an artist and I’m not sure where I’m treading just yet. But I’m sure I’ll find my direction.”

In the meantime she will continue doing what brings her – and the fans of her work – so much pleasure: creating pieces of wearable art.

“In the end the most important thing for me is the affinity people can feel for the jewellery: to be able to play with it and love it in different ways. I hope people can impart their own stories in the pieces that I’m making,” she says, “to start a little love affair.” \ slewis@theweeklyreview.com.au » www.facebook.com/AdaHodgson

alk about million-dollar views. Few cities on the east coast of Australia can offer north-facing water views like Geelong can and this recently-finished apartment offers an uninterrupted outlook across the city’s waterfront and Corio Bay. Located close to Cunningham Pier and the famed carousel, the complex is a stunning mix of contemporary and coastal design, with timber accents complementing the clean lines. Entry to the foyer of the building is off Cunningham Street, where the sophisticated style continues.

This luxury apartment, covering 20 squares, has three bedrooms and two bathrooms and a neutral colour palette throughout means it’s a blank canvas when it comes to decorating; just about anything will go.

The first bedroom is to the right of the entrance and has a study nook, en suite and a surprisingly spacious walk-in wardrobe behind white gloss double doors. Sand-coloured tiling in the en suite, teamed with a white wall-hung vanity, creates a bright and breezy ambience that plays off the bayside location.

Further along to the right of the carpeted hallway is a second hall that leads to a well-appointed laundry with built-in cupboards, and a main bathroom with separate bath, in-situ shower and floor-to-ceiling tiles. With the bath built behind the shower, it’s a clever layout that makes the most of the space. The second and third bedrooms are also off this hallway and have built-in wardrobes. The three bedrooms all enjoy breathtaking views of the bay and waterfront precinct, which would be equally spectacular day and night.

A large open-plan zone with polished timber floors is at the rear of the apartment and includes a designer kitchen, dining space and living area, as well as an adjoining balcony, making entertaining easy. While the finishes throughout the apartment are ultra modern, the 120-millimetre floorboards add character. The kitchen is sleek, with off-white cabinetry and stone benchtops. A large island bench offers plenty of preparation space, while a glass splashback and stainless-steel appliances continue the contemporary appeal.

The entire apartment is warmed by the morning sun thanks to expansive windows to the north and east of the open-plan space, as well as the east-facing windows in the bedrooms, which draw in an abundance of natural light.

Sliding glass doors off the living area open to the tiled balcony with a timber screening wall, timber-lined ceiling and a glass balustrade. While it’s the perfect place to wow your friends with dinner parties, it would be just as tempting to keep this spectacular vista all to yourself; to kick back and simply watch the world go by.

Reverse-cycle heating and cooling and a monitored intercom system are among the modern conveniences the apartment has to offer. Two secure car parks are included with the sale of the apartment and relatively low body corporate fees make it even more tempting.

Some of the city’s finest eateries and bars are literally on your doorstep, including two cafés and a restaurant on the ground floor of the apartment complex. This location also offers quick and easy access to the Melbourne highway and the train station is within walking distance.

If you’re after a luxury lifestyle, then look no further.

With apartment living becoming increasingly popular in inner-city Geelong, this is your chance to call this exclusive location home. \ SARAH BIESKE property@theweeklyreview.com.au

It is hard to fault this sensational Edwardian house. Old and new style is balanced to perfection and it has all the components any family could wish for. Polished timber floors and high ceilings in the hall and family rooms indicate class. Two bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and extensive shelving. A big shared bathroom is in between them where a clawfoot bath is a tasteful inclusion. The main bedroom at the back is huge and has two built-in wardrobes, an en suite, and garden views. Tucked off the hallway, facing the open living and kitchen, is a laundry. The kitchen is equipped with a central island bench, stainless-steel appliances and dishwasher, but the pantry packs an even greater punch, with a flip-up door opening to a cellar; a dream for wine enthusiasts. A pool with beautiful country views, sheltered wooden deck and built-in barbecue/cooking space with a refrigerator are the cream on top. The house, driveway, carport, shed and play area are set in the north-west facing corner of the more than two-hectare block. \ nick price

With great shopping and schools on its doorstep, this well-presented weatherboard house is an ideal place to raise a family. The three-bedroom house is in a quiet street in a coveted pocket of Belmont, where its fresh white exterior presents an attractive facade. The original footprint has been extended and updated to create a timeless open-plan living, dining and kitchen area with timber floors.

White cupboards and benchtops make for a neutral kitchen – cooks will love the 900-millimetre, freestanding oven. In the lounge, an open fireplace provides cosy warmth on winter nights. Bifold doors make it easy to close off the adjoining study. A second carpeted family room is zoned with the main bedroom at the rear. The sun-filled living space has french doors onto a large deck – great for entertaining. At the front of the house are two more bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, an updated family bathroom and laundry. The double garage with rear lane access also has another toilet and shower. \ nicole mayne

told the crowd of 25 before beginning the auction of 88 Apex Avenue, Belmont, on Saturday.

The onlookers were spending a bit too long contemplating that opportunity, prompting Constantine to remark: “The vendor wants a sold sticker with my ugly mug on it.”

It soon became somewhat of a two-horse race, a sprint at that, and 13 quickfire bids later the price had gone from $200,000 to $300,000.

At that point a third party made their one and only bid and pushed the price to $301,000. One of the original bidders

market news \

There was plenty of interest in 72 Newton Avenue, Bell Post Hill, but prospective buyers were keeping mouths closed and hands in pockets as Joe Grgic (Harcourts) called for bids.

“Did I mention how quiet the neighbourhood is,” he joked before posting a vendor bid of $350,000.

After another vendor bid of $410,000 the property was passed in. The three-bedroom house on a huge block, with two-street access, an inground pool and space for 10 cars, is on the market at $449,000 to $489,000.

Grgic later sold 230 Thompson Road, North Geelong, a two-bedroom house in need of TLC, under the hammer for $180,000. \ paul chapple
