letters to the editor HONOURING OUR NURSES Congratulations to Katrina Hall for recognising nurses for International Women’s Day (TWR, March 5).

Nursing can only be regarded as a calling because I believe only certain people fit the selfless, compassionate criteria. This typical nature for nurses is also borne out by the research the Osborne Park Association is doing to prepare for an exhibition on Geelong’s Anzac nurses. Conditions under which some of the nurses worked tested their skills, ingenuity, commitment, patience and endurance. As we also thank the nursing staff of today, the Anzac nurses of 1914-1919 will be honoured in this important exhibition at Osborne House.

COVER STORY

I

t’s impossible, well illegal rather, to do more than 200 kilometres an hour down the main highway, but on the racecourse anything is possible … even if it’s in a Toyota HiLux. Nigel Petrie has made this unlikely scenario a reality. By day he’s a prototype vehicle machinist at Ford in Geelong, but by night he’s in his Waurn Ponds garage building and modifying cars and motorcycles. He’s particularly interested in drifting – a motorsport he has been involved in for more than a decade.

It took Petrie almost three years part-time – four hours, four nights a week – to custom-build his Toyota HiLux completely from scratch to compete in drifting, finishing the build in 2013.

Drifting is where the driver uses throttle, brakes, clutch, gear shifting and steering to keep the car in a condition of oversteer while manoeuvring from turn to turn. In other words, Petrie gets sideways in a controlled environment.

“Drifting is an expressive sport. You can build your vehicle to suit how you want to drive it and what you want to do in it, and you learn so much along the way,” the 31-year-old says.

“It’s competitive because people can use their skills rather than how much money they have put into it. It’s combining the skills you have and what you have built.

“You are so wired driving it because it took so long to build it and you don’t want it to come undone. It can sometimes be a hindrance trying to preserve it [the HiLux]. But it’s not really replaceable.”

The HiLux can clock up to 270km/h, but Petrie says he has only done close to 160km/h. It’s among three cars he’s modified since starting in the sport in 2004. Petrie started competing after attending a training day at Melbourne’s Calder Park raceway.

“i didn’t build it with competition in mind; i just did it for the enjoyment” “After five years of owning a standard HiLux, I decided to build one. I wanted something to look like a HiLux but perform like a race car,” he says.

“Over the years of driving a production car and changing it so much to suit my needs, I found out that there wasn’t anything that I could just jump into that I would be happy with. I needed to make something from scratch.

“I didn’t build it with competition in mind; I just built it for the enjoyment. I had no dreams of doing a national series [in drifting]. But I pushed my car further and pushed my driving harder and ended up being pretty good at it.”

Petrie has seen plenty of success, with many first-place finishes under his belt – and some prizemoney as well – since he started in 2004.

He won the Full Lock Drift Nationals that year, and has competed around Victoria and interstate. He’s had podium finishes at the Vicdrift Drift Attack, and Tasmanian state rounds.

He has competed in the World Time Attack Challenge with the HiLux for the past five years and participated in the Top Gear and V8 Supercar demonstrations.

The building of the HiLux was made into a documentary, Dream.Build.Drive. Petrie also documented his journey on his website and Facebook page Engineered to Slide.

Now Petrie has almost 220,000 Facebook likes and followers around the globe. He says he’s giving them an insight they can’t get elsewhere.

“I had a small group of followers at the start and it’s 6 THE WEEKLY REVIEW \ MARCH 19, 2015

started getting really large now. People found what I did really interesting,” he says.

“I gained a lot of inspiration from the internet, so I wanted to put it back out there – the things that worked, the things that didn’t and why. There are people in the car community who have gained ideas from what I’ve done. It’s about giving back and teaching others.

“It’s such a rare insight, as big racing teams are a bit secretive. Dream.Build.Drive showed the building of the HiLux, trial and error, and the debut in Sydney. The gearbox broke, so it also covered the highs and lows of testing.”

It took a month to fix the HiLux, just in time for it to be shipped to New Zealand for a car show.

Now Petrie is taking on a new challenge, involving a motorcycle that started life as a regular dirt bike.

Petrie took it apart and built it back from scratch over two weeks, while adhering to the rules of his next competition.

Next week Petrie will attempt a record on his 350cc custom-built motorcycle at the 25th annual Dry Lakes Racers Australia (DLRA) Speed Week at Lake Gairdner, South Australia, which runs from March 23-27.

It will form the basis of his second documentary, Flats. Petrie says it will showcase the transformation of a dirt bike into a race bike, and the journey to the salt flats in the quest for speed.

“It’s a 12-mile [19.3 kilometre] race on the salt flats, which is dead flat and dead straight. There has been no bike specifically constructed in Australia in 350cc that has raced. So it will be a first,” he says.

“The feeling of driving a car or motorcycle that you have modified is a lot of fun. It’s a feeling you can’t put

switches between them and cars. “They look really simple, but motorcycles have so few components you have to get it right. The one I built will go more than 200km/h, so you must have a lot of trust with what you have put together,” he says.

His next appearance after Speed Week will be speaking at the Geelong Young Professionals (GYP) breakfast on April 15, where fans can find out the results of the race and whether he broke the record.

Petrie started driving out in the paddocks of Cobden, in south-west Victoria, where he grew up. His father, Dallas, was a major influence on his love for motorcycles and cars. “I was interested in cars and motorbikes because my dad always rode and had nice cars. We always went to the speedway, because that’s what you did down there,” he says.

“It also stemmed from metal class in years 10, 11 and 12 and I got really interested in what you can build from steel.”

Petrie moved to Geelong at 19 after securing an apprenticeship as a fitter and turner at Ford, then moving on to the research and development centre, assisting engineers to test their ideas on cars.

“I learn a lot of skills at work, and I’m always pushing myself to do new things and push my skills further and further,” Petrie says.

“The aspects and idea are really thought out and mathematical at work. But, when I’m at home it’s freehand. Things don’t always go right; actually a lot of things go wrong and some go right. You just give it a go … and once you stuff up, you know what you have done wrong.” \ jmillard@theweeklyreview.com.au WE WELCOME YOUR FEEDBACK @

ood with word-class views sweeping along Ocean Grove beach, can it get much better than that? At The Dunes Café, it can – it offers affordable food with that grand view.

Look west and there’s Barwon Bluff, and a vista as far as the Great Ocean Road; look east to the Point Lonsdale lighthouse.

And then there’s the food, and plenty of options. The menu offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as snacks, cakes, slices and desserts. The café/restaurant offers 18 breakfast options, with 17 choices for lunch and dinner, plus specials.

Head chef Neil Cunningham, who has more than 15 years’ experience, came on board in November. He says The Dunes offers casual dining with prices ranging from $5 up to $52 (for two people).

“It’s casual, fun dining, and I like to put pretty funky stuff on the plate. It’s both special occasion and everyday food – there’s lots of variety,” he says.

The Dunes uses local produce, including Portarlington mussels, Meredith goats’ cheese,

Lonsdale Tomato Farm’s goods, Kossies eggs, La Madre bread and fresh seafood from White Fisheries in Drysdale.

Cunningham says popular breakfasts include the potato and rosemary bread ($13.50) and the N E IL sweetcorn and quinoa cakes ($16).

CU N N IN GHA M Lunch and dinner are a good balance of popular choices, he says. Among the customer favourites are salt and pepper calamari with a salad of kale, almonds, golden raisins and Meredith goats’ cheese with lemon chilli dressing and roasted garlic aïoli ($19 entrée/$29 main); beer-battered local flake fillets with a salad of honey, balsamic, rocket and feta, with fries and roast garlic aïoli ($26.50), and the seafood paella with prawns, calamari, local fish, mussels and chorizo with Spanish spices, saffron rice, peas, tomatoes and fresh coriander ($31 for one person or $52 for two).

Popular specials – being trialled for a new menu –

include the soft-shell fish tacos with spiced sour cream, tomato and chilli salsa, lemon and coriander ($16.90), and the spaghetti with basil pesto, king prawns, chorizo, cherry tomatoes, pine nuts and aged parmesan ($25.90).

Snacks, desserts and cakes are available all day. Cunningham says about 80 per cent of sweets are house-made.

“We have a huge coffee and cake trade here, as we are open all day from 6.30am,” he says.

“The selection includes choc crackles, mini mud cakes, banana bread, muffins, muesli slice, mini carrot cakes, rhubarb/cinnamon cake, ginger fluff cake, lemon syrup cake, chocolate truffle balls, sticky date cake and chocolate brownies.”

Even the ice-cream for dessert is homemade, with an ice-cream maker set up in the kitchen.

“The ice-cream flavour is always changing. I’ve made coconut sorbet, chocolate brownie ice-cream and honeycomb ice-cream,” Cunningham says.

“It’s usually served with some spun toffee or ginger wafers or fresh strawberries or raspberries, or choc-dipped honeycomb – it just depends on the flavour of the ice-cream.”

The café also hosts weddings, Christmas parties, business seminars and birthdays. People can book the whole space if they wish; even for just a small group.

The Dunes has seating for 80-100 diners, 80 for sit-down functions and 250 for cocktail functions. \ JULIA MILLARD GOT A FOOD TIP FOR US?

“A HOBBY HAS GROWN IN TO our CAFĂŠâ€?

B

en and Julia Fabretto would never have guessed their honeymoon in Italy five years ago would prove to have so much influence on the direction of their lives together. “We saw such beautiful places in Tuscany, the Amalfi Coast and Rome,� Julia says. “But, we’d wake up each day with a coffee. Then another coffee for lunch and later try to decide where to go for coffee in the afternoon. Our honeymoon was almost a coffee expedition.� “I should confess,� her husband says, “I have a bit of a love for Italian espresso bars.

I developed this enormous passion for coffee when I got back to Australia. I came back and immediately started learning the art of coffee roasting.�

Within months, he had bought a domestic coffee roaster and was experimenting with blends and roasting profiles in their kitchen. “I wasn’t surprised when he started roasting,� Julia says. “But he was smoking out our house. Fire alarms were going off at one in the morning and waking all the neighbours.�

The couple opened their first cafĂŠ, Fabretto Brothers Espresso Bar, at the north end of Pakington Street, Geelong West, last week.

Ben and head barista Francesco Tonon, who grew up in Italy and was hired from Brunetti’s in Lygon Street, made almost 200 shots on opening day.

Ben Fabretto is a self-taught roaster. He

started in his garage with a Behmor roaster doing 250-gram batches. Today, he fires up a 15-kilogram Roastmax in a factory that stocks drums and bags of green beans from the world’s best Arabica-growing regions. “I don’t call myself an expert,� he says. “I produce what I enjoy and already our customers are enjoying it too. “Our blend is Italian-inspired. Coffee for me goes right back to my early childhood.

It was always stove-top coffee. It was always made by my mother. We all had an espresso in the morning and another around the table after dinner. “Sure, it’s nostalgic. I was looking for something that mum used to do, a taste that reflected my heritage.�

The Fabretto Brothers blend is called Primo Nato (first born). It comprises three beans.

The base is from the Rainha da Paz Estate from the Cerrado region of Brazil, with Colombian and Indian beans rounding out the flavour. Fabretto intentionally avoided adding the strong citrus notes typical of popular African beans.

He churned through about 200 kilograms of batches of green beans to perfect his blend. “It involved a lot of trial and error, different high-grade specialty beans and lots of different roasting profiles,� he says. “We tried it out on my family and friends and then took it to the Geelong Coffee Expo

Fabretto’s older brother, Robert, also helps with the roasting.

“For me, coffee is not just a drink, it’s a social experience. It’s for chill-out time, it’s a precious moment that you look forward to every day,” Ben Fabretto says.

Fabretto describes the flavour as traditional Italian, “solid, smooth with a cocoa-buttery base”. But it’s far superior to anything I’ve drunk in Italy. It holds a lustrous crema, smooth on the taste buds and with a gentle aftertaste. Very quaffable.

FOOD \ This award-winning olive grove excels with several varieties, writes GAIL THOMAS

(GAIL THOMAS)

W

ith a range of award-winning oils and table olives, Renate and Len Kint’s Manzanillo Grove has pioneered the olive industry on the Bellarine Peninsula. Having lived most of their adult lives in Drysdale, the family ran a timber and hardware business before launching their new venture in 1997.

“We were the first in the region to plant olives and others soon followed,” Renate says. “The nursery in our timber and hardware business was the nearest we’d come to agriculture and when we bought this land I wanted a big botanical garden but that wasn’t to be so we looked at what we could do.”

Believing there were already too many vines on the peninsula, and after seeing a segment on Landline about olives, they set about researching olive oil, doing soil tests and found olives would be suitable for the area.

“We naïvely thought if you planted an olive tree you forgot about it, but that’s not the case. You have to work on them all year round. There’s lots of pruning and maintenance involved and everything we use is organic.

“We initially planted 4500 trees of six varieties, all dual purpose for oil and table fruit. It was seven years before we got a small crop, 10 years before it became commercially viable and this season is shaping up to be a bumper year.”

“We now have around 4300 trees that are mechanically harvested by two people with shakers. We can do a tree every 30 seconds. The fruit is processed and all cold pressed on-site within 12 hours.”

Varieties grown at the grove include manzanillo, verdale, kalamata, Hardy’s mammoth, frantoio and corregiolo. All the table fruit is picked by hand and salt-brined, with some olives remaining in barrels for up to two years.

The manzanillo oil is bottled as a straight varietal and

there is also a frantoio varietal oil with that fruit also being used for the table. Australia is known for single varietal oils whereas overseas most oils are blended.

“We did the study tour to Italy and learnt a lot there, but we also learnt every area and season are different.

You have to treat your olives for the area you’re in. If it’s a dry season the oil is pungent; if it’s wet, the oil is quite mellow. It varies greatly and likewise the table fruit.”

dry season oil is pungent

Manzanillo Grove, a multi-award winner at Australian Olive Association awards, picked up a bronze medal at the Royal Melbourne show for table fruit and, in 2011, was RENATE KINT awarded Olive Grove of the Year, an Australia-wide industry award for best grove, taking in maintenance, production and marketing.

“Although we’ve been approached about export, we don’t need to go that way because we sell everything we produce each year in the Australian market, which we think is more important.”

Together with the varietal oils, there’s a blended oil plus orange- or lemon-flavoured cold-pressed and garlic-infused lines, table olives, a balsamic reduction and a range of skincare products.

“My son had really bad allergies so I made a totally natural skincare product, olive oil based, petro-chemical free, non-animal tested and it works really well.”

Manzanillo Grove cellar door is open weekends, public holidays or by appointment, from 11am to 4.30pm. They will also be taking part at the Lara Food and Wine Festival on Sunday, March 22. \ gthomas@theweeklyreview.com.au » www.manzanillogrove.com.au » www.larafoodandwinefestival.com.au

rom mint to lilac to soft pinks, pastels have a way of drawing us in. “There’s something about the pastels,” says Aimee Wheate from Your Abode Interior Design. “They still have a warmth about them, where they’re soft and subtle … and tactile looking.”

She says pastels have a relaxed and calming effect in a house. What’s more, it’s an effect that can be used generously. “If it’s a look that you personally love, you can put it in every room of the house,” she says.

Pinks, china blue and mint green feature prominently in the pastel palette. But it is possible to tap into many variations of pastel shades.

“You can pick any colour and bring it back to that softness that a pastel has,” Wheate says.

Although pastels are traditionally popular for spring and summer, less-common variations can freshen a home for winter.

“You might add a charcoal grey and then just have your pop of colour,” she says. “You can do a lovely pastel velvet cushion, in a pastel tone but in a velvet – the velvet adds the texture and warmth.

“Children’s bedrooms are where pastels also come through very strongly,” she says. “Pastels are soft, subtle, relaxing. They’re comforting, but you’ve still got colour.”

For little touches of pastels, Wheate suggests using accessories such as earthenware bowls in soft hues.

Another trick that won’t break the bank – and smells great – is to bring in a bouquet of pastel-toned flowers. \ akosmanovski@theweeklyreview.com.au

LIVING WELL \

From villages on golf courses to sports bars and bowling greens, retirement living is all about the lifestyle you’ve always wanted

it’s your move

(SPOTMATIK \ ISTOCK \ THINKSTOCK)

M

aking the move into a retirement village is a big financial and lifestyle decision. While there’s no doubt that finding the right village to suit your budget is vital, it is just as important to choose a place that suits your lifestyle needs.

With state-of-the-art facilities, access to a plethora of services and amenities as varied as tai chi and winery tours at your doorstep, it is little wonder retirement villages and their “resort-style living” are in high demand.

If you are thinking about making the move, it is vital to plan, research the options and get legal and financial advice. It’s also important to look at your current lifestyle and make a list of all the things you don’t want to live without.

This might include wanting a village with a swimming pool, tennis court, a vibrant community centre or somewhere with easy access to shops and the medical centre.

Location is also important. If you can’t give up daily walks on the beach, choosing a village close to the seaside might be the best choice for you.

There are also different styles of retirement villages, ranging from boutique properties to big resorts, with accommodation varying from self-contained units to fully serviced apartments.

Villages have a host of activities and services on one site, so it is not surprising retirees are drawn to them, taking advantage of access to swimming pools, spas, bowling greens, cinemas and hair salons.

Villa Maria Catholic Homes project development manager Mark Dunne says there is plenty of demand for the organisation’s Star of the Sea Village in Torquay.

More accommodation is being built at the site.

When it is finished in August, the village will have 96 independent living units. Construction will then start on a 90-bed aged-care facility.

“We can’t build them quick enough at the moment,” Dunne says.

Facilities at Star of the Sea include an outdoor bowling green, private cinema, billiards and games room and a hair salon.

“The younger ones are retired but still want something to do. Fitness is a big thing coming through nowadays,” he says.

“many people say they wish they had moved in five years earlier” “They are still very active, so instead of getting in the car and driving down somewhere, they are actually looking for it within their own facility. It’s actually a higher living cost but they are willing to pay that.”

In retirement villages, residents pay a service charge called a monthly fee. It varies according to the services offered in the village.

Dunne says it is important to choose a retirement village that suits your age and lifestyle.

“The question I would be asking is, ‘What’s your average age?’ in the retirement village.’’

He says there is a trend for retirement villages to have on-site aged-care facilities.

Tannoch Brae Aged Care Tannoch Brae offers an atmosphere of community and family. Residents can relax and enjoy the peaceful enclosed courtyard, or a variety of quiet sitting areas, as well as supervised access to shopping centres and community services.

Affordable resort living RETIREMENT \ Move in, put up your feet … that’s the ticket at this new community

W

hether you’re working, semi-retired or retired, after all your years of labour you deserve to be rewarded with a genuinely affordable living option that includes a brand new home, someone to look after your front garden, and resort facilities at your doorstep. That’s exactly what Lifestyle Communities has provided for more than 10 years.

The Victorian company already has eight communities around the state, and is set to open the doors to its first community in Bell Park, Lifestyle Geelong, in coming months.

“Since Lifestyle Communities first began, we have been looking at Geelong as a location for one of our communities and were delighted when the opportunity arose to purchase land in the lovely residential area of Bell Park,” James Kelly, the managing director of the ASX-listed company, said.

Currently under construction, the master-planned community will have 162 architect-designed homes that come complete with modern façades and colour palettes that maximise street appeal. The first display homes at Lifestyle Geelong are expected to open by mid-2015.

There are 10 home designs to choose from at Lifestyle Geelong; all with an interior layout that offers plenty of space and storage for all those things you would never want to part with. All homes are well appointed with all the luxury modern conveniences, with stone benchtops and stainless-steel appliances including dishwasher, and range in price from $225,300-$349,500. As an added benefit, there is no stamp duty, no council rates and no body corporate, which helps keep the cost of living low.

“we’ve sold 50 per cent of stage one”

Plain sailing: Lifestyle Geelong homeowners will have access to the community’s shared boat. (SUPPLIED)

The appeal extends to the backyard, with its low-maintenance landscaping and no lawn to mow. Front gardens are also taken care of by the community’s garden maintenance team.

“One of the main reasons we find people downsizing and moving into one of our communities is that they’re sick of maintaining their family house, which requires lots of time-consuming and costly maintenance,” Lifestyle Geelong sales consultant Carolyn Thorne said.

“We’ve already sold 50 per cent of stage one, and we love to hear what people will be doing now that they’ll have freed up time to do the things they’ve wanted to do for years.

“Many are planning holidays or thinking of picking up a new hobby. Others are just looking forward to finally having time to themselves.”

Lifestyle Geelong homeowners will also be able to enjoy the added advantage of resort facilities at their doorstep. Opening in late 2015, the community’s $2.5 million clubhouse will have an indoor heated pool and spa, bowling green, private cinema and tennis court.

For keen anglers and those who’d like to explore more of the Geelong coastline, the community will also have its own shared boat for homeowners to use.

Anyone interested in finding out more about Lifestyle Geelong should call Carolyn Thorne on 1300 505 560 for a free information pack (including a DVD), or to register to attend a free information session and a ferry ride to an existing community. \

At Lifestyle Communities we believe everyone should be able to live a big life. That’s why we create safe, gated communities where active, independent over 50s can enjoy a bigger life for a truly affordable price.

At Lifestyle Geelong you’ll own a brand new home with spectacular resort facilities. Plus you’ll have money left over to live life on your terms and do things you’ve wanted to do for years.

Take advantage of our pre-launch pricing. For a free information pack with DVD, or to come to our next information session on April 14, simply call Carolyn on 1300 50 55 60 or visit lifestylegeelong.com.au

Take advantage of the services offered by community organisations and businesses SOCIAL SUPPORT \ DoCare, a non-profit organisation established in 1979, has a range of options available to support older members of the community so they do not feel socially isolated. This includes home visits (also to retirement villages), a home library and home share, where a person provides accommodation in their own home to someone who will provide about 10 hours of help each week. Other activities include social outings, morning teas and shopping trips.

DoCare Geelong chief executive Stuart Muller says the organisation provides the elderly with social support.

“It’s an important one for older people. As they get older, there is a degree of loneliness that comes with that,” he says. “Our intention, from DoCare’s point of view and, of course, the government’s point of view, is to try to keep people in their own home as long as possible.” www.docaregeelong.com.au JOIN A COMMUNITY GROUP \ Joining a club or taking up a new hobby can be a good way to meet new people and socialise. Join a gym, become part of the Men’s Shed, sign up to your local library or join a walking group or yoga class to keep active. If that’s not for you, how about learning a new language, booking a holiday with other people your age or volunteering your time to help a local charity? \ JESSICA GABITES

WE LOVE IT

A

private sanctuary can be found at this opulent house set on nearly two hectares of resort-style grounds. The expansive residence displays a level of luxury rarely seen, with all the lifestyle trappings including a pool, spa, sauna, tennis court and cinema room.

From its position high on the hill at Lovely Banks, it captures panoramic views over Geelong, Corio Bay and the You Yangs. There is an overwhelming sense of space and openness to the horizon, enhanced by soaring five-metre ceilings and large windows. Yet the house’s quiet court location and impressive landscaped entrance ensure its exclusivity is not compromised.

Entry is via a circular driveway and automatic gates.

Lush gardens set the scene for something special. This is confirmed when you arrive at the large portico, modelled on those of swanky hotels, where you might hand your car keys to a valet on arrival. No expense has been spared on this dramatic feature, which has sandstone pillars and bluestone pavers.

Inside, the quality fittings continue in the entrance hall and main living room. The latter has spotted gum floors and windows on three sides to frame the view. A gas log heater with a stacked-stone surround provides another focal point.

The adjacent kitchen and dining room faces the pool deck and has bifold doors for easy outdoor entertaining. There is abundant space in the well-designed kitchen, which has stone benchtops, a walk-in pantry and a 1200-millimetre Ilve oven.

There’s a long hallway down the centre of the adjoining bedroom wing. There are four bedrooms here, along with a rumpus room/gym, theatre room and powder room.

At the front, the main bedroom again evokes images of a fancy resort, with its sheer designer drapes and private balcony. It has three walk-in wardrobes with sensor lights and a luxurious en suite with a two-way double shower. The three other bedrooms also have walk-in wardrobes.

Those who are serious about entertaining should be impressed by the house’s barbecue dining hall. This massive room with soaring ceilings has bifold doors onto the outdoor area and can host a big crowd. It has a built-in barbecue designed for rotisserie cooking, and a bar.

For added convenience, there is another full kitchen in a separate wing behind the barbecue room. This section of the house also has a living and dining room – perfect for teenage children who need their own space.

There is another self-contained apartment upstairs, entered through the garage. It has an open-plan kitchen, meals and living area, two bedrooms and a bathroom.

Outside, the saltwater pool and nearby spa sit in front of an impressive sandstone feature wall. Behind here are the floodlit tennis court, fruit trees, greenhouse and tiered vegetable gardens.

The allotment of 1.7 hectares also consists of gardens that surround the house and neighbouring open paddocks. Most of the formal garden has low-maintenance, drought-tolerant plants. A water feature forms the centrepiece of the design near the main entrance.

The property is close to the ring road and Kardinia International College. \ NICOLE MAYNE property@theweeklyreview.com.au

Back inside, the galley-style kitchen has stone benchtops, a walk-in pantry and stylish pendant lighting. There are two more living areas that lend themselves to television or play rooms. The main bedroom is at the front of the house, giving parents a sanctuary away from the children’s bedrooms. It has a walk-in wardrobe and en suite. One room is devoted to a purpose-built hair salon, but it could be adapted into a study or bedroom.

This cute cottage in Inverleigh’s main street started life as butcher’s shop back in 1886. It has been lovingly restored into a character-filled house brimming with old-world features. Polished floorboards, high ceilings and exposed brick walls reflect the house’s long history and have been combined with more modern conveniences. These include an en suite and walk-in wardrobe off the main bedroom, and an updated kitchen. As a former shop, the front porch abuts the footpath, and entry is directly into a spacious lounge. A fireplace set into the exposed brick walls and a wood heater in the opposite corner bring warmth to the room. From here, a wide doorway leads into the dining room and, beyond it, the spacious kitchen. Timber benchtops and ample cream cabinets give the kitchen a country feel. There are two bedrooms off the front lounge, including the main with a fireplace and heritage-style en suite, and another down a hallway. The house is on 2000 square metres, with two street frontages and a cottage-style garden. \ NICOLE MAYNE

If only the walls of Wandsworth c1870 could talk. Step back in time and take the rare chance to own a piece of Geelong’s architectural history. Set on a 1440-square-metre block, the property would appeal to a diverse range of buyers and is not your average residence. Inside, there is history and character flowing through its structural veins. Standing in the grand entrance will conjure up charming images of old-world living. The classic floor plan features a central hallway and four bedrooms at the front. A timber hallway flows through to the bathroom, formal living zone, meals area and kitchen. The property retains a wealth of period features throughout including high ceilings, feature fireplaces, sash windows and elegant ornate ceiling cornices and roses. The servants’ quarters with kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living zone provides yet more reminders of the past. The property has established fruit trees and plenty of room for parking. It is close to Eastern Beach and the Geelong Waterfront. \ REBECCA THOMPSON

Downsizing doesn’t mean compromising on quality or living space at this stylish property. The three-bedroom brick house offers generous proportions and is beautifully finished with contemporary materials. The open-plan living zone at the rear forms the centrepiece of the practical floor plan. Polished timber floorboards, curved walls and decorative ceiling bulkheads are combined to great effect here, creating an inviting space to unwind and entertain. A large circular timber column is a key feature at the entrance to the sleek kitchen, which has timber cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances and black stone benchtops. Sliding doors off the dining area make it easy to adjourn outside for meals in the sheltered entertainment area. Almost all the rear yard is devoted to this L-shaped pergola, so there’s minimal time to be spent on gardening and maintenance. Back inside, there are three bedrooms, a study and bathroom off a central entrance hallway. The main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and en suite, while the study comes with a built-in desk. \ NICOLE MAYNE

HIGHTON \ 12 MANOR CRESCENT Sit back with a cup of tea and enjoy serene views over Queens Park from this Georgian-inspired residence. The four-bedroom house offers beautiful vistas towards the Fyansford valley.

Classic styling gives the two-storey property a distinct character from the street. It continues inside, where you’ll find features such as soaring timber-lined cathedral ceilings, polished floorboards and sash windows.

Most of the living areas are on the top level to take advantage of the outlook and northern light. The open-plan kitchen and dining room forms the centre of this floor and opens onto a tranquil back verandah.

Cream tones feature in the kitchen, which has Corian benchtops, Bosch cooking appliances and an integrated dishwasher.

Conveniently, the study comes off the dining room, making it easy to supervise children’s homework while cooking dinner.

There are two living rooms on this level, both with wood heaters for cosy winter nights in.

The ground floor is dedicated to the four bedrooms and comes with the added comfort of slab heating.

Two of the bedrooms, including the main, have en suites and built-in wardrobes.

Out the back, the tiered 819-square-metre allotment is beautifully landscaped with steps meandering down to productive fruit trees on the lower level. \ NICOLE MAYNE

“

t’s only money, the bank’s got plenty of it,’’ Ben Riddle (Buxton Newtown) told the crowd of 60 outside 24 Roxby Street, Manifold Heights, on Saturday.

Bidding had opened at $460,000 and went to and fro between two parties, Riddle urging them on with his reminder.

A third bidder with a phone glued to his ear chimed in, pushing the mark to $520,000.

“We have excellent [phone] reception here, too,’’ the auctioneer said.

The man on the phone found himself in front when the hammer came down at $568,500.

He was bidding on behalf of a former AFL star who has bought the three-bedroom

106 HOPE STREET, GEELONG WEST

house, which needs some work, as a long-term project.

The work had already been done at 106 Hope Street, Geelong West, where a crowd of 70 turned out to see Andrew Boyce (Hodges) put the three-bedroom character weatherboard up for auction.

It was a two-horse race, the first offer of $500,000 from a man on a fence across the road upped to $510,000 by a young woman next to him.

They went tit for tat and it was over soon after, the man winning the day at $539,000.

Marcus Falconer (Hodges) was busy a few blocks away, selling 13 Raven Street, Geelong West, under the hammer for $395,000 to a

245 MOUNT PLEASANT ROAD, HIGHTON

40 GLASTONBURY DRIVE, HIGHTON

young local couple who plan to renovate. They beat two other bidders in front of 45 onlookers for the three-bedroom weatherboard.

It didn’t take long for the hammer to come down at 245 Mount Pleasant Road, Highton, a well-located three-bedroom weatherboard.

Thirty-five people gathered in the front yard to hear Leigh Hall-Sullivan (Hocking Stuart) say: “What we’re offering is the cheapest house in Highton.”

Bidding opened at $200,000 and, in the blink of an eye, after nine quick-fire bids, the property sold for $330,000. The local buyer has renovation plans.

A four-bedroom house on a block of more than 1000 square metres was the prize offered

by David Cortous (Ray White Geelong) at 23 Toyne Avenue, Hamlyn Heights.

A spirited four-way contest in front of a crowd of 35 began at $400,000 and ended when the hammer came down at $500,000.

The winner was a local investor.

A local family will soon get the keys to 40 Glastonbury Drive, Highton, after post-auction negotiations got them over the line for the three-bedroom brick house.

Matthew Constantine (Ray White Highton) opened with a vendor bid of $400,000 and three parties had a nibble before the property was passed in at $450,000.

It sold soon after for a higher figure. \
