A FAIR PAY DEAL FOR PARAMEDICS Victoria’s paramedics are highly skilled professionals who dedicate their lives to serving the community and helping out in tough times.

Ambulance Victoria and Victorian Government representatives have been negotiating with the ambulance union over a new pay deal for paramedics since August 2012.

To break the deadlock, the Victorian Government has agreed with Ambulance Victoria to make a new pay offer to paramedics.

This new offer is fair and reasonable. It includes: • a sign-on payment of $3000 for full-time paramedics (pro rata for part-timers and new employees) – this is twice as much as the previous offer • an immediate 6% wage increase • an increase of 3% in July 2015 and a further 3% in July 2016 – a 12% increase in total.

Paramedics may also receive pay increases arising from the Fair Work Commission’s arbitration of their work value claim.

Paramedics existing terms and conditions will be retained, so that they continue to receive: • 10 weeks paid leave annually • 10 weeks paid parental leave • 6 months long service leave after 15 years service • tax exempt benefits of up to $9000 a year.

Victorian paramedics will still be the only paramedics in Australia to have access to guaranteed superannuation benefits via a defined benefit superannuation scheme, including a lump-sum option after 30 years of service.

These increases will mean an ALS Year 6 paramedic can receive a total package of more than $110,000 a year (including rolledin-rate, built-in overtime, FBT exempt benefits and guaranteed superannuation benefits – but not additional overtime). In addition, paramedics will receive the $3,000 sign-on payment.

The Victorian Government is continuing to invest in ambulance services, with funding provided for an additional 539 full-time equivalent ambulance officers.

This new pay offer gives paramedics the salary increase they deserve, maintains the generous terms and conditions they enjoy today and recognises the importance of the job they do protecting and saving lives.

Cover Story SARAH HARRIS meets Miss Tourism Australia, Sarah Czarnuch

S

elling Australia is about way more than golden sands and lithe-limbed girls, Sarah Czarnuch firmly believes. And she should know. Growing up minutes from some of the Surf Coast’s best beaches and 177 centimetres tall, the reigning Miss Tourism Australia has both bases well covered.

Czarnuch is also a savvy young Deakin University journalism and public relations graduate, quite capable of deftly deconstructing a stereotype. Even so, it comes as a surprise when she identifies “people and their stories” as one of the nation’s most important untapped tourism assets.

“It’s our stories that connect us to the wider world and help people feel they can identify with us and us with them,” she says.

It’s a lesson brought home in a real way recently when Czarnuch sat her grandmother Ursula down and asked to be told the story of the Polish grandfather who died years before she was born. Until then, the 22-year-old had only the vaguest outline of Jan Czarnuch’s painful history.

She learnt her paternal grandfather was orphaned at age 16 when the family home was destroyed by US bombs before the liberation of Poland in World War II. Jan would spend months in a displaced persons’ camp before being resettled, separately from his older sister, as one of the great wave of post-war refugees.

He arrived in Australia on September 15, 1949, with only a few basic English phrases, gleaned on board ship, to join thousands of other migrants at the less than hospitable Bonegilla Migrant Reception and Training Centre near Wodonga. Eventually settling in Geelong, Jan toiled as a blue-collar worker to ensure his own four children enjoyed the education and opportunities he was denied. Receiving citizenship in 1973 was one of his proudest moments, but the privations of his youth took their toll and by 54 he was dead.

the girl from

oz

So it grates just a little when people question Czarnuch on the relevance of such pageants in the 21st century, and her decision to enter.

“You are always going to get people who say, ‘Why do we need a pageant girl?’ Well, I am educated, I have just completed a degree, I have skills and ideas. It’s so easy for individuals to dismiss beauty pageants as nothing more than a sexist activity where females are graded based purely on their physical attributes. This could not be further from the truth, because the majority of girls I have come across have degrees or are studying, are actively involved in their communities and are constantly striving to improve their future.”

“it’s our stories that connect us to the wider world and help people feel they can identify with us” “Learning of everything my grandfather went through and overcame was incredible,” Czarnuch says. “I’m here today because of him, a product of his determination and strength, and am so proud of the Czarnuch name.

“Australia is such a multicultural country and I’m very much proof of that. It’s a message I really believe we can do more to sell to the world.”

As the fourth Miss Tourism Australia, Czarnuch is the local sash-bearer of an international competition that began in 1994 and is now contested in 76 countries.

In a nutshell, her role is to help promote Australia as a tourism destination and develop our tourism industry – a key economic sector worth more than $35 billion a year and employing more than 500,000 people.

Czarnuch was one of 1500 girls who entered the Miss Tourism Australia contest online last year, making the cut of 300 who competed in various events, before triumphing at the national final last November.

Beyond beauty there’s an expectation Miss Tourism will be an articulate, knowledgeable, poised and hard-working voluntary envoy for her country, and Czarnuch has risen to the challenge with a wide variety of public appearances at events such as the Rip Curl Pro and an upcoming trip to China with sponsor, Shearers Ugg. Between the Miss Tourism role, modelling work and her commitment as ambassador of the Geelong Hospital appeal, her calendar is full.

During a month spent in Malaysia in preparation for the Miss Tourism International quest this January, Czarnuch, who finished second runner-up in a field of 60 girls, found attitudes toward Australia were largely positive, if a little clichéd.

“People are of course familiar with landmarks like the Opera House and Harbour Bridge, but when they see photos of Melbourne, of Lygon Street, Chinatown and of the lanes, it’s not at all what they expect. I think Crocodile Dundee, Steve Irwin stuff has created this lasting outback image.

“I don’t see anything wrong with a cheeky catchphrase as long as there is some substance to back it up. Sure, throw a shrimp on the barbie, but also showcase our amazing fine-dining restaurants, the exciting food culture.”

It’s a clever idea, really, to sell Australia to the people of the world by reminding them they are already part of our story.

And what would be your catchphrase, I ask this shimmering granddaughter of an eastern European post-war refugee.

8 The weekly review \ JULY 31, 2014

o you know what the wine varieties mamaia, carmine, evmolpia and ederena have in common? They’re actually different names from around the world for the same grape: merlot.

Sorry for the trick question but it helps to illustrate just how far and wide merlot is now grown and enjoyed. It’s one of the world’s most widely planted grapes, grown from the Ukraine to Uruguay, and Israel to France, where it’s the country’s single-most planted grape.

It’s believed merlot gets its name from the blackbirds that are so fond of its ripe grapes in south-west France. These birds are known as merlau in the ancient Occitan language.

More often than not, this fleshy, easy drinking red is blended with cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc, rather than made into single varietal wine. Its juicy plum, blackberry and herbal flavours help give the cabernets a sweet mid-palate (think of it as the jam in the middle of a doughnut on your tongue) and soften the austerity of cabernet’s firm tannins.

There’s a lot of merlot planted in Australia – it’s third behind shiraz and cabernet sauvignon – and it is used widely as a blender.

Indeed, I reckon the ratio of cabernet-merlot bottles to straight merlot I open would be about five to one.

The best merlot examples are considered to be from the right bank of Bordeaux’s Gironde River. In the past decade or so, it has played a larger role in the blends of Bordeaux’s left bank as producers seek to create softer, earlier drinking wines.

While it’s become more important in Bordeaux, the opposite could be said for the

grape in California. The decline has a lot to do with the 2004 film Sideways and its lead character Miles Raymond, who uttered: “If anyone orders merlot I’m leaving. I’m not drinking any effing merlot.”

California winemaker Randy Ullom says the comments were justified.

“People started planting it everywhere,” says Ullom, who has made wines for Kendall-Jackson in California for more than 20 years. “When it took off, merlot was planted on the north and south coast and people said, ‘Oh my God, we’ve got to get on this bandwagon,’ so they started planting it everywhere. You’d get a herbaceousness from the central valleys [that had a detrimental effect on the wines].

“At the beginning, if you were to put all California’s merlot grapes together to make a single wine out of it, it would have been pretty good. Soon after [if you did the same thing] it would have been good, then so-so, then bad, then to, ‘Oh my God, we’ve bastardised the whole thing’.”

But Ullom says there have been long-term benefits and merlot again stands tall next to California’s best-known grapes; pinot noir, cabernet sauvignon and zinfandel.

“All the low-quality vineyards were ripped out because nobody wanted them. It was a natural selection thing, where only the fittest and best have survived,” he says.

“But merlot’s coming back now. If you put everybody’s merlot into a big pot now and made a wine, you’d have a pretty nice wine.” \ bthomas@theweeklyreview.com.au Online only »

t’s said that the cure for an obsession is to get another one. Well, passionate barista and experienced chef Shane Goodall now seems to have his hands full.

Shane is one of the pioneers of Geelong’s third-wave coffee revolution that comprises a small gang driven to delivering us the finest drop possible. Step into his cosy Belmont café and you’ll instantly notice all the trappings of obsession No. 1.

A big video screen mounted on the wall takes the customer through the art of coffee making, on the counter a tall cold-drip coffee filter is in action, glass beakers and funnels distilling one drip of coffee every 2-3 seconds.

At the La Marzocco espresso machine head barista Kylie McPherson turns out the shots, matched with some of the best latte art in Geelong. That’s just the equipment. The real conversation is about the beans, sourced from across central-southern America.

The winter seasonal blend on offer is 50 per cent Brazil (Rainha, pulped natural), 25 per cent Costa Rica (La Unión, red honey) and 25 per cent El Salvador (Finca Mi Tierra, semi-washed). The taste is syrupy toffee sweetness with red apple, apricot and milk chocolate. In milk, it becomes delicious caramel and malt.

“I like to stick with the Central America beans. My customers like the characteristics – buttery smoothness, chocolate and caramel.”

McPherson delivers two winter-blend espressos. The trained palate can detect cocoa, malt, caramel, lime, orange peel and cherry.

Goodall drinks with a taster’s slurp, sucking in air with coffee, engaging the senses and maximises the flavour. I wouldn’t advise it on a first date. “Ah, cherry,” he exclaims.

The winter blend is comforting and trustworthy. It’s the caramel, malt and cocoa that caress the senses. Almost always, the complex flavours emerge in the aftertaste. It’s why some coffee drinkers take a slurp then sit quietly with their eyes shut, savouring.

The former winner of the Golden Plate Awards best barista award says Geelong’s coffee drinkers are developing a richer palate.

“Specialist coffee makers are educating customers with great beans,” he says. “They certainly have higher expectations.”

As you collect your coffee, Goodall and McPherson are constantly recalibrating their machinery to deliver a 26 to 30-second pour

latte art \ wave tulip

from 20 to 22 grams of ground coffee to yield 50 to 60 millilitres, adjusting the temperature to deliver water between 93 to 95 degrees.

The fitness crowd enjoys the 12-hour cold-drip coffee, 30 millilitres served on ice with a high caffeine hit and full, sweet flavour.

Then there’s obsession No. 2 – healthy food. Goodall is a devotee of the paleo diet, which basically translates to: “If a caveman couldn’t eat it, then neither can you.” It avoids anything processed or refined along with grains, legumes and dairy products.

His winter menu specialises in dishes that are appropriate for paleo, vegan, raw vegan and coeliac diets. But, you’ll find everyone is catered for. Goodall and McPherson are qualified chefs and produce all the food they

sell, from raw vegan peanut butter/chocolate brownies to paleo protein balls and muffins.

The “clean eating” pair say there’s lots you can eat that’s not detrimental to your body.

But back to the coffee. Goodall’s enthused about his “bullet-proof” coffee which, apparently, is Melbourne’s latest fad.

It contains 15 millilitres each of coconut oil, cacao butter and espresso coffee served in a latte glass. “It’s our new offering. It’s full of energy and caffeine, a great day starter. It gives you a kick along with the essential fats.”

Shane’s excited. He’s in his element. He’s found another way to blend his best coffees with healthy living. \ Bob osburn

anina Lear’s scarf is attracting a lot of attention.

Eye-catching pompoms in colourful fur hang down and I can’t help but ask if I can touch it. It’s as soft as it looks.

Earlier a stranger had stopped her in the street and asked the same question. That’s a lot of interest for 9 o’clock in the morning.

It’s no surprise Lear would wear such an intriguing item. She is, after all, the founder of Piccadilly Market, which – after only five years – has become a much-loved addition to Geelong’s handmade and artisan scene.

The former travel agent’s passion for markets and all things unique and beautiful led her to put together a list of artists, designers and creators to invite to an idea in the making called Piccadilly Market.

But the email invitations were being sent out cold and Lear worried no one would take her up on the idea.

Courage won over trepidation and she pushed the button. Her breakthrough followed. Twenty-five stallholders signed up for the first Piccadilly Market – exactly the number Lear needed to break even.

The thrice-yearly market has gone on to carve out a loyal following from local creators and other stallholders, from Melbourne and regional Victoria, including the always popular Koolaman jewellery.

“They’re massive, they’re a really big business in Australia but they still come every year,” Lear says.

This year the market will have an increased focus on food. With more than 100 stalls and an emphasis on unique and beautiful designs, there’s plenty in the way of fashion, accessories, children’s clothing, homewares, art and gourmet food.

For a bite to eat, there’s a licensed café on site where you can watch it all happening from the comfort of your chair.

eter Callan started playing the piano at 41. He was good at it, too, and reached Grade 5 before the piano disappeared into storage for a while. Now he’s playing the drums. He loves the volume and the crash but he’s also discovered that rhythm is an exacting science and hard to perfect.

It’s the same with noses. Reconstructing them or altering their shape, that is.

The Geelong plastic surgeon says rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, is the work he enjoys the most. “It’s the best surgery because it is so incredibly difficult. You are working in three dimensions, on a number of different structures, and every action has a consequence,” he says.

Callan clearly loves a challenge. He is one of those remarkable people whose talents extend far beyond his day job.

Callan says he refuses 30 per cent of the people who come to him for surgical or non-surgical cosmetic work. “They’re either too young, or going through a phase or a life crisis, or they’re being unrealistic – using magazine images as their yardstick.

People can lose sight of what’s normal and sometimes it is our job to say, ‘You don’t need this, you are fine’.”

Another trend is the increasing numbers of patients seeking help closer to home, rather than heading down the highway to Melbourne.

“I think it reflects how perceptions have changed in Geelong, that our health sector is as good, if not better, than elsewhere.”

For Callan it is all good news since he loves the work in Geelong and the convenience of having rooms within two minutes walk of the surgical suites.

“I’m here the whole time, my patients can always get me, my staff can always get me and other doctors can always get me.

If they call me about a patient in the ward, I’m there in a couple of minutes,” he says.

Such a sought-after work-life balance also leaves time for more drum lessons or, just maybe, time to take up the piano again. \ pbraniff@theweeklyreview.com.au JULY 31, 2014 \ The weekly review 17

“They should also seek out the appropriate training and competition environment that will foster their growth and development as an athlete.”

Funnily enough, it was softball that first caught Richardson’s eye when she was eight. She started off playing at Jells Park for the Glen Waverley Softball Club, where she remained for her entire softball career.

At nine she started playing netball. She was selected for the Australian softball team, which won bronze at the 1996 Olympics. But she decided on netball and, in 1997, took to the centre court for the Kestrels.

Netball gave Richardson an international career. Now she says she’s simply giving back. “Coaching is a great way to give back to a sport that has given me so much, and to help athletes to reach their full potential.” \ jmillard@theweeklyreview.com.au

icole Richardson knows all about the joy of winning gold at the Commonwealth Games, not to mention an Olympic bronze. She won medals in two sports – softball and netball.

She has since worked tirelessly to ensure Australia continues to dominate in netball, including making the trip from Melbourne twice a week to coach one of our local netball clubs.

Richardson loves giving back to the sport that gave her so much, and the sense of community that Geelong provides in her role as head coach at St Albans Football Netball Club.

“I love the strong sense of belonging to a community sports club. St Albans has made me feel so welcome. It has assisted my development as a head coach,” she says.

It’s just one of her many roles with netball, including Coach Development Co-ordinator at Netball Victoria.

Mary \ 2012

ucy Hardie is not your typical artist. Instead of using paints, she uses a fine pen to create her artworks and it takes time … a lot of time.

Her images are built up in many fine layers of stippling and lines, and each drawing can take up to 100 hours to complete.

The 30-year-old artist will have about 10 works on display as part of the Femme Fatale show at Metropolis Gallery from August 1 to 16. She will exhibit alongside the work of Melbourne-based artist Jazmina Cininas.

Hardie first met Metropolis Gallery director Robert Avitabile when looking to exhibit in Geelong last year.

“Robert has a great understanding of and appreciation for the art of drawing. He immediately saw where I was coming from with my work, without me needing to explain it too much and I’ve appreciated the opportunity to work with Metropolis for this reason,” she says.

“It also means a lot to exhibit in Geelong, because so much of the work in the show was created while I was living in the area.”

Although Hardie is based in Melbourne now, she lived in Ocean Grove for several years.

“I moved from Melbourne to Ocean Grove in 2006 and lived there until last year,” she says.

“Living by the ocean in a relatively small community was an amazing time to focus on building a solid foundation to my work.”

The artist graduated from a bachelor of illustration degree at NMIT in Melbourne in 2012. She also started study with a US artist Philip Rubinov Jacobson in Austria in 2009, learning an old masters method of painting called mischtechnik, which involves layering paint or other mediums.

She says her style of artwork is about creating elements, real and unreal, to form a connection with the viewer – both with the work itself and with themselves.

“Ideas for new works can be drawn from anywhere.

They can be sparked by an external stimulus such as a conversation or a song, or simply drop into my awareness when doing nothing at all. I also find that the more I create, the more inspiration and ideas flow – not the other way around,” Hardie says.

She has been drawing and painting all her life, but started taking it seriously after her debut solo show at Synergy Gallery in Melbourne in 2007.

“It sold out on opening night and the audience’s response was a great impetus for me to continue,” she says.

Hardie says her parents have always placed great emphasis on her creativity. Her two older sisters and younger brother are creative, too, and have channeled their skills in various ways.

“Growing up, art was an intrinsic part of everyday life like eating and drinking and … like eating and drinking, it was an activity I didn’t question,” she “It means a says. lot to “As a child I wasn’t allowed to watch TV so I exhibit in spent a lot of time drawing and losing myself in myths and legends, music, lived experience, the pages of art books and the illustrations that and the work of many artists, past and Geelong” accompanied my favourite fairy tales. present.

“Choosing to pursue a career in art was a natural “Symbolism and romanticism most step for me and, while my parents were initially recognisably influence my aesthetic and thematic hesitant to encourage me taking such an uncertain road, preoccupations,” she says. they are very supportive of what I do now.”

“However, my greatest inspirations at present are Hardie draws on a wide range of sources to feed her several artists whose works aren’t well known in inspiration, including natural phenomena, folk tales, Australia, including contemporary Austrian artist

and founder of the School of Fantastic Realism, Ernst Fuchs; late great Slovak artist and lithographer Albín Brunovský; contemporary Russian illustrator Vania Zouravliov; and Italian painter Agostino Arrivabene.

“Through my own work, I undertake personal research into their techniques as a means of facilitating my own expression.

“Their work evokes in me an experience of an other-worldly mystery, an enigmatic beauty. When it comes to art, this is the kind of experience I look for, and the one I aspire to create.”

Despite being shortlisted for various awards including the Rick Amor Drawing Prize and the Lloyd Rees Youth Art Award, Hardie says her career highlight so far was exhibiting in Austria and the US alongside some of her favourite artists, including Fuchs (Austria); Arrivabene (Italy); Maura Holden (US); and Dmitry Vorsin (Russia).

“Other highlights have been connecting with viewers in Europe and the US through various publications and receiving representation with Port Jackson Press Australia last year,” she says.

“But, ultimately the greatest highlight for me is when my audience connects to and engages with my work.

That’s where the joy is.”

Next, Hardie says she will move into painting using mischtechnik and she will endeavour to build a new body of work for a show overseas.

“I’m liaising with a gallery in the US about a possibility so I’m looking forward to that,” she says.

“I also currently run one-day and four-day drawing workshops at Art@Wintergarden in Geelong. The workshops are designed for beginning and more advanced artists.” \ jmillard@theweeklyreview.com.au » Lucy Hardie will exhibit at Metropolis Gallery, 64 Ryrie Street, Geelong, from August 1-16. 5221 6505.

Oxygen College photography students put their best work on show in an exhibition at the college’s new gallery in Geelong West.

A huge range of photography was on display from the students, the youngest of whom is in their teens and the oldest in their 70s.

College director Dominic Monea says it’s hard to hide his pride in the students’ work.

“It’s such a personal expression of who they are and what they want to project in the world, and it’s very brave to put it all out there for the public to see,” he says.

“Every picture is diverse and different from the next. It’s just fantastic to see.

“It’s been really rewarding seeing the students taking on something they are passionate about and then executing it with such creative prowess.”

uxury living and country charm go hand in hand at this enchanting four-bedroom brick house that provides a peaceful escape from city life.

Set on 0.81 hectares (two acres), the house offers an idyllic rural lifestyle for the whole family to enjoy.

Entrance to the property is through a secure gate, while a long, winding driveway is bordered by lush greenery. The attractive brick façade of the house has a bullnose verandah with cream-coloured fretwork along the front.

It’s a picture of perfection – the house and the extensive gardens have been meticulously styled and maintained over the years.

What is so appealing about this house is the way it has embraced rustic design elements yet still offers the open-plan living spaces that are so popular today. It’s a seamless fusion that creates an easy flow throughout.

The warmth of the design continues once inside the front door, with 2.7-metre timber-lined ceilings and exposed brick walls complemented by plush carpets and timber trim. The formal living area is just inside the main entrance, and has a large bay window. A fireplace is the centrepiece of the room and subtly separates the living area from the nearby formal dining area. It’s a great space for entertaining and is the perfect place to relax in the depths of winter.

There’s a second, more relaxed living area at the west end of the house. It adjoins the impressive country-style kitchen and meals area. This zone is tiled and natural light is again a major highlight, with north-facing windows capturing the sun from morning to afternoon. The living area opens to a courtyard out the front, a great spot to sit and savour the stunning surrounds.

The kitchen is as elegant as it is practical, with a breakfast bar providing room for seating, while composite stone benchtops and heritage-inspired cabinetry are accompanied by a stainless-steel wall oven, induction cooktop and a handy pull-out pantry.

The second and third bedrooms are off a separate hallway behind the informal living zone and have built-in wardrobes.

A family bathroom with a corner shower is close by, with splashes of burgundy creating a sense of old-world charm.

There’s also a study, off the hallway, which could easily be converted to a fourth bedroom if desired.

A well-appointed laundry offers abundant storage and bench space.

The main bedroom is at the front of the house, providing parents with their own patch of privacy. It opens to a walk-in wardrobe and French provincial-style en suite with slate-tiled floor and a luxury corner spa. Timber shutters and a timber vanity complete the look.

As well as the landscaped gardens, there’s also a large tennis court that’s sure to provide hours of entertainment for the whole family. There’s a three-car garage at the back of the block, along with the two-car garage and workshop attached to the house.

The family-friendly location is another highlight. It’s just down the road from the Curlewis Golf Club, a 10-minute drive from Ocean Grove’s beaches and only 10 minutes from Geelong. This is an opportunity to immerse yourself in a life of peace and quiet while still being able to enjoy the best the region has to offer. \ SARAH BIESKE property@theweeklyreview.com.au

A wide verandah sets the scene for this residence, which offers three bedrooms and large living spaces. The central open-plan zone on the ground floor combines the kitchen with a meals area and informal living area and opens to a second verandah. Nearby is a formal living room, which is the perfect place to unwind on a cold winter’s day. A combustion heater ensures this room is cozy, while exposed beams and a bay window add charm. There’s a bedroom on the ground floor, as well as a bathroom and European laundry, while the main bedroom and second bedroom are upstairs, along with a powder room. Each of the bedrooms has built-in wardrobes. A large shed with a workshop is sure to impress the handy people of the house, as will the man cave with a built-in bar. With Geelong’s CBD just half an hour away, this property allows you to enjoy the country life as well as city conveniences. \ SARAH BIESKE

A flexible floor plan provides scope for updating this four-bedroom family house in the heart of Highton. Built on a 683-square-metre block and just a short stroll from Highton Village and the Barwon River, it’s an attractive package that offers buyers the opportunity to put their stamp on it. While comfortable as is, there is potential to capitalise on the leafy location. Set behind a private front fence, there are three bedrooms at the front of the house, each with built-in wardrobes. Polished timber floors are used throughout and also in the central kitchen, which offers lots of bench and cabinet space. The kitchen opens to a carpeted meals and living zone on the upper level. It’s a large, north-facing room that features an air-conditioner and gas heater, while a sliding door leads to a covered balcony. Timber stairs to the left of this zone take you down to the lower level, where the main bedroom and en suite are found. Extensive tiered gardens and a paved entertainment area provide plenty of space for adults and children alike. \ SARAH BIESKE

LEOPOLD 1038 Portarlington Road "Tennis Anyone...? - Your Own Private Oasis on Approximately 2 Acres"

Set securely beyond the automatic gates; this home presents an incredibly private & relaxed lifestyle that most can only dream of. The first living zone is open plan with the dining space, & the centrepiece of the room is the fireplace providing an ideal location for these cold winter nights. The second living zone adjoins the well equipped kitchen with composite stone benches, breakfast bar, induction cooktop, dishwasher & pull out pantry & drawers.

The opportunity to buy in this tightly held area is becoming more of a scarcity, no more evident than here in the heart of Old Torquay. This allotment is one of the largest single titled land holdings in the Torquay township, being 1868m2 (approx) with a 30 metre frontage. The successful purchaser could use the property as short term holiday retreat whilst investigating the myriad of development options available with a site of this magnitude.

The existing home comprises three good sized bedrooms, spacious living/kitchen/dining, bathroom, laundry, garage, garden shed/workshop and most importantly all the space one could want for.

Alternatively, the vendor will consider sub dividing (STCA) the land into smaller allotments- all with Munday Street frontage, giving more opportunity to secure an allotment in this unrivalled position. This unique property transcends others of like-nature and should be given good consideration as a real blue chip investment.
