he whole point of arguing is to thrash things out to see who might be right and who might be wrong.

Yet, the best kind of argument to have is one where you absolutely know for certain you are the one who is right – and you’re pretty sure the person you are arguing with knows it too.

Sometimes it’s just obvious. For example, you know you are absolutely in the right, and so do they, when:

the other person leaves hand-shaped turmeric marks on the white bathroom towels; they leave their keys in the front door overnight, or they take yours with them as well as their own and you have an important meeting you need to get to; they use someone else’s loofah to remove loose hair after shaving; or they forget to pick the kids up from school.

going to mention any brand names but let’s just say the name of the car may or may not also have started with the letter J. Eventually the situation was sorted, the replacement car went back to the shop and the new car was back on the road, as it should have been because it was brand new.

A day later, the other adult in this house had a call from a guy who said the replacement car was scratched and he needed to pay $400 to have the scratches fixed.

You would think this news might have opened up an opportunity for the other adult in this house to enter into a discussion. A bit of back-and-forth, perhaps, about whether or not one might be covered for such things, or maybe someone else was responsible, and could you send me some before and after photos, for example.

And yet he just went and paid the guy.

I said, “Are you serious? You scratched the replacement car?”

He said he wasn’t sure.

I said: “Then why did you just go and pay the guy? Surely you need some proof. Tell him you want to see photos.” I may or may not have used words that were slightly stronger than this.

He said: “I must have scratched it. The guy said only one other person has ever driven the car”.

And then, and this is when I knew I had him, that there was no argument to be had, he was in the wrong and I was in the right, he said: “Honey, can I get you a glass of wine?” ● khall@theweeklyreview.com.au

Position … postal delivery officer since 2013.

the relative security we are lucky to have. If we see any suspicious behaviour we report it. You would be surprised how many times we find keys left in front doors.

The area that I cover includes … Armstrong Creek.

A typical working day for me involves … an early start sorting the day’s mail into the order that I will be delivering and organising any mail to be redirected or held as requested by our customers. Before heading out on my round, I check my riding gear and bike for any safety concerns. Our safety and the safety of everyone we meet while delivering is very important to Australia Post. Around 1500 households and 60 kilometres later, the day ends when every item of mail that arrived in the early hours of the morning has been delivered.

I love my job because … every day is different. I meet lots of lovely people and work close to home.

The skills you need for this career are … a motorcycle licence, great time management and a sense of humour – particularly when it hails! The wind and rain can be quite trying.

The most difficult part of my job is … trying to

avoid various potential hazards that we face as posties. As we spend a lot of our time out on the road and in the community, we rely on people driving responsibly, seeing us as they back out of driveways and keeping their dogs secure to keep us safe. I think Geelong road users and people in general are courteous and forgiving of others and I hope this continues through the busy holiday period.

The funniest things I deliver are … pet toys!

Some days my postie bike jingles and squeaks for hours.

If I wasn’t a postie I would be … trying something else I never thought I could do!

Geelong is home because … I spent 12 years living in Melbourne and came back for the lifestyle Geelong affords. Everything is on our doorstep: the best beaches, picturesque Otway Ranges, great golf courses, bike trails, walks, cafes and wineries.

My favourite things to do in Geelong are … playing golf at Curlewis Golf Club and kayaking.

The best place to go for a bite to eat or a coffee in Geelong is … there are so many. My favourites are Mr Grubb at Oakdene for coffee or breakfast, Queenscliff marina for lunch or dinner and Leura Park for a drink (Leura Park’s BLOCK 1 Chardonnay is my favourite).

On Sunday morning in Geelong you will find me … if not having breakfast with my husband somewhere on the Bellarine, then we are usually gardening or building something at home with at least one dash to Bunnings for supplies and a sausage.

My favourite way to relax is … camping and fishing, preferably both! ● With JESSICA GABITES

DECEMBER 3, 2015 \ THE WEEKLY REVIEW 7

Victoria’s surf beaches officially opened at the weekend.

Jan Juc lifeguard Cassie Moss shares her beach safety tips with Julia Millard

C

assie Moss is one of hundreds of volunteer surf lifesavers and paid lifeguards to turn out on our local beaches in their yellow and red uniforms as the patrolled summer beach season opens.

The flags are back on our beaches, rescue boats are ready and lifesavers are on patrol on the beach and in the water, watching over swimmers and beachgoers.

Volunteer lifesavers started local patrols on November 28 and will continue until April 10.

Paid lifeguards will patrol until the end of January or start of February next year.

This is Cassie’s 13th season with the Jan Juc Surf Life Saving Club. The 20-year-old received her Surf Rescue Certificate (SRC) in 2008 and has been patrolling ever since. She is now a paid lifeguard working across all Surf Coast beaches.

“This year I will be patrolling about six days over the summer. However, I am a paid lifeguard, which means I will be working at the beaches full-time over the main peak of the season [Boxing Day to Australia Day],” Cassie says.

She holds current qualifications in almost every life-saving skill: First Aid, Advanced Resuscitation Certificate, Spinal Management, Inflatable Rescue Boat (IRB) Crew and Drivers, Basic Beach Management, Gold Medallion, Training Officers Certificate and Assessor Certificate.

She has conducted many board, tube and IRB rescues, which she says occurred mainly because people swim out too far. Cassie’s tip for beachgoers is to make swimming between the flags the main priority.

“Also, always swim with another person and let others know you are heading out into the water, even if you just tell a lifesaver on duty.

“Never swim past your depth because the currents can be very unpredictable and it’s easy

to get swept away,” she says. “If you are unsure of the conditions, just ask a lifesaver and they will inform you of the things to be aware of.

If you get into trouble, stay calm and signal for assistance.

“It’s also important to avoid brown and sandy water because these are signs of a rip, which is water moving outwards.

If you swim in this water you are likely to get caught up in the moving water.”

The lifeguard says the main thing she sees are people panicking when they get into trouble.

“If you panic and stress you are using up energy, which you need to conserve to keep yourself above the water,” Cassie says.

C

assie is currently the junior representative and patrol captain at Jan Juc SLSC, while also studying a bachelor of education at Federation University in Ballarat.

As a junior representative, she is involved in organising activities for the junior age groups (under-14 to under-19) to keep them involved, interested and excited.

“I have met so many awesome people at the Jan Juc SLSC and I just wouldn’t change clubs. I also like being at the beach all the time and being around like-minded people,’’ Cassie says.

“I enjoy helping others and educating the public on how to swim safely so that everyone can enjoy what I often take for granted.”

Cassie was selected for a Life Saving Victoria Building Leaders Scholarship in 2014, completing a six-month program with six other scholars (including two weeks in Sri Lanka).

She was also awarded the 2015 Surf Coast Young Citizen of the Year for her outstanding leadership and volunteer work. ● jmillard@theweeklyreview.com.au

KNOW YOUR LOCAL BEACHES TORQUAY

“i enjoy helping others & educating the public on safety”

The Torquay SLSC, founded in 1945, has hosted state, national and international surf lifesaving carnivals and is known as a premier competition club. In season 2013-14, the club performed 11 rescues. Torquay’s Back Beach is a popular swimming spot, fronting the town centre. The beach is moderately safe on the bars in the patrolled areas, however avoid the rocks and strong rips, particularly toward Point Danger as, on average, 27 people are rescued here each year. The beach faces due east and runs for about one kilometre from Yellow Bluff to Point Danger.

50 years of saving lives

J

an Juc SLSC, founded in 1963, rescues an average of 30 people annually – one of the highest counts of our local beaches. The club is situated on the clifftop overlooking Jan Juc Beach and Torquay Golf Course. It has 1000 members, including 200-250 volunteer patrol members and almost 400 juniors aged seven to 19.

Club president Wes McDonald says the club delivers about 50 patrol days a year, which equates to more than 5000 patrol hours a season if you add up all the lifesavers’ hours. “Our main priority is our lifesaving services. That’s why we exist. Our core purpose in life is to provide that service to the community,” Wes says.

“The core part of lifesaving services is the patrols, so making sure we have enough people assigned with the right qualifications to our patrols.

“The club runs a very extensive training program for all age groups, from nippers through to adults for a wide variety of awards. Bronze Medallion is a good example, but there’s a whole range of awards Life Saving Victoria and Surf Life Saving Australia make available – it could be First Aid, Spinal or Beach Management.”

Wes says there’s also a vast array of first aid equipment required and it must be in operational form – so new and functional.

Inflatable rescue boats and Polaris (4WD) vehicles are the most important items. Other required equipment includes rescue tubes, defibrillators, oxygen bottles, spinal collars and spinal boards.

In season 2013-14, the club had eight rescues, 30 first-aid treatments and 800 preventative actions.

“Our beach is rated highly hazardous. So what we are doing with the patrols is avoiding getting to a point where we need to rescue someone – so that’s a preventative action,” Wes says.

“When the surf is up there are typically rips that tend to run in the same place – so permanent rips. We are trying to keep people out of these rips and getting them between the flags … On a bad day we could have three of four dangerous rips running.”

Patrols are done on the beach and on the water. Wes says when there are issues at Jan Juc beach it’s typically outside the flags.

“That’s why we really encourage people to swim at all times between the flags and, if you are unsure, ask one of the patrolling members,” he says.

Jan Juc SLSC is in the process of redeveloping the clubhouse after 52 years of existence. Wes is hoping to secure state and federal funding for the $5 million redevelopment in 2016 to start building in 2017. ● » www.lifesavingvictoria.com.au/ www.facebook.com/JanJucSLSC

WES M CDONALD

The Barwon Heads Thirteenth Beach SLSC, founded in 1961, rescues five people on average every year.

Thirteenth Beach is part of the seven-kilometre-long section of coast between Barwon Heads and Black Rock. Rips are a common feature of the beach, with the safest bathing on the bars in the patrolled area. Strong permanent rips lie east of the surf club. The best access is provided by the SLSC, with additional car parks and access tracks located along the road.

OCEAN GROVE

The Ocean Grove SLSC, formed in 1948, performs an average of eight rescues each year. Ocean Grove Beach is a popular summer beach.

It has a wide, shallow surf zone with rips increasing up the beach. It’s best to stay near the surf club and swim in the patrolled area.

POINT LONSDALE

The Point Lonsdale SLSC was founded in 1947 and averages 30 rescues each year – one of the highest counts alongside Jan Juc SLSC. The main beach is known as the surf or back beach and is the site of the Point Lonsdale SLSC. The beach is popular for swimmers in summer and surfers year round.

However, it is a hazardous beach with strong permanent rips, so use extreme care.

ANGLESEA

The Anglesea SLSC, founded in 1952, averages 12 rescues annually.

Anglesea Beach lies next to the mouth of the Anglesea River. A moderately safe beach under typical summer conditions, but avoid the rip against the southern rocks. Best at high tide as waves tend to dump at low tide. Stay on the bar and in the patrolled area. Access and parking are available at the river mouth, off the Great Ocean Road, and at the surf club. ●

e was born in Ireland, trained as a chef in Sydney and came to Queenscliff in 1987 to take over the kitchens at the Queenscliff Hotel.

A couple of years later, Michael Barrett made his mark on the local dining scene when he bought Harry’s, that Queenscliff institution nestled on the foreshore which he ran for 16 years.

Michael, who is now considered a “local�, is back at the big stoves and says that “after Harry’s, I went to Melbourne, did some work overseas for a while, and more recently came back with a couple of pop-ups at Point Lonsdale while looking for a spot of my own again in Queenscliff. “The dining room in Seaview House became available so we renovated it and opened La Salle a’ Manger [the dining room] in September.�

With the guest house, gallery and restaurant, Seaview House encompasses three businesses each running independently and showcasing some of the delights the region has to offer.

The 50-seat dining room has a warm and inviting atmosphere with a fit-out reflecting both European and Asian influences.

Entering through the pelican-insignia stained-glass doors, the scene heralds the treats in store. Polished floors, waves of white swagging on the ceiling and contrasting vibrant-blue-hued walls dotted with artworks, tapestries and Japanese-inspired platters all add to the quirky yet cosy and elegant surrounds with its touch of yesteryear.

For an alternative approach, perhaps you could dine on the front verandah for breakfast and take in the historic streetscape.

Crisp white linen, silverware and good glassware grace the tables, while the concise menu usually boasts a European influence.

Think classic duck leg braised in a pancetta and porcini mushroom broth, succulent pork loin with fennel, Cape Grim beef on silky mash with a red wine and thyme jus or delicate pillows of gnocchi.

Mediterranean flavours feature among the main course offerings, all carefully executed with Michael’s expert touch. “We are working with local suppliers and, of course, highlighting local seafood as it’s

COFFEE CULTURE O R I G I N S P E C I A LT Y CO F F E E

There was a roaster in the company’s taste test room that he started dabbling with.

“I got to taste some remarkable specialty coffee straight from the roaster,” he says.

“I had tasted some good commercial coffees but these were just unbelievable.

“It was a bit of an internal conflict because I was drinking more and more of my own coffee and the cogs started turning.”

He decided to start his own boutique roasting business, Origin Specialty Coffee, based in Highton 13 years ago. There were two guiding principles for the business: it would only sell specialty grade coffee and it would be roasted to order.

In the beginning, few people outside the ALL ORIGIN’S REGULAR coffee industry had ever heard of specialty coffee. So Graham and Jackie hit the Geelong Farmers’ Market to educate the public.

STRALIAN BLENDS ARE AU “We had to build the business from the ground up,” he says. “In the last few years there seems to have been a snowball effect.

GRAHAM HOLLINS

(REG RYAN)

G

raham Hollins was already in the clutches of a serious love affair with coffee when he and his wife Jackie headed off for their honeymoon to Jamaica 15 years ago.

Even on this relaxing holiday, the Highton-based roaster couldn’t resist a day trip to visit the country’s famous Blue Mountain coffee region.

Beans from these plantations have a reputation as some of the most expensive and sought-after in the world.

“On the bus trip there was this guy roasting coffee [cherries] in a bowl over an open fire,” Graham says. “I wanted to buy some green beans right there.”

He spent a long time talking to the Jamaicans and taking photos – so long, in fact, that they missed out on the promised coffee tasting. But he still headed home with a two-kilogram bag of prized Jamaican Blue Mountain green beans to roast back in Australia.

At the time, Graham was working for Robert Timms, Australia’s oldest national coffee distributor, and spent his days demonstrating the roasting process, running cupping sessions and training hospitality staff across the state.

It was while sifting through sample beans from around the world that he got his first taste of specialty coffee from select estates.

Got any coffee culture suggestions?

sizes that range from a split, which holds a quarter of a standard bottle, to a nebuchadnezzar, which holds 20 bottles’ worth.

Wines are bottled in different sizes – or formats, in the industry lingo – because the wine in larger bottles ages more slowly as the bottle size increases. A 20-year-old wine in a magnum will be fresher than the same wine in a regular bottle.

What I love about bigger bottles is the sense of celebration they bring. Magnums are great for large gatherings – and perfect for Christmas. Wine is best enjoyed with friends and when there’s a large group you want to make sure everyone gets a glass.

Especially if it’s a special bottle.

Most wineries bottle a few wines in larger format each year, often to roll out on a special occasion. Such an occasion presented itself at a dinner with Taltarni

Fairtrade Sumatran Forte. Graham says he’s thrilled to have recently won two new medals in the Australia-wide Compak Golden Bean Roasting Competition. The Sumatran Forte blend took out silver, while the Gusto earned a bronze. All Origin’s regular blends are now medal winners.

“We have been rapt over the years, we have had fantastic support,” he says. “We have got customers that have been with us for more than 10 years.”

But never one to rest on his laurels, Graham is always keen to experiment and learn more about the roasting process. He’s built up an extensive library of coffee books and articles and, after 23 years in the industry, is clearly still excited by the process.

n between the photo shoot and interview for TWR, good friends and business partners Kat Petrovska and Annaliese Spiteri from printed-art label Okay Luna are chatting away like old friends, which is exactly what they are. “We always end up matching somehow!,” says Kat, pointing to her denim shirt and Annaliese’s jeans.

Having formed a friendship after they met on the first day of Grade 6 orientation, working together seems like a natural progression of their comradeship.

While Kat says she has always drawn and created art – usually just for herself or friends – it was Annaliese who encouraged her to get her drawings down on paper and “get it out there”.

A partnership soon followed, combining Kat’s artistic skills and Annaliese’s administration acumen in the launch of Okay Luna, with products including bright bird prints for framing and similar designs printed on cushions. For Kat, a senior graphic designer with seven years’ design experience at Cotton On, working in the KAT PETROVSKA & ANNALIESE SPITERI type of loose illustrative style needed for Okay Luna was an artistic challenge at which she has excelled. She admits it’s not her “usual style” – fine-liner and pencil to them. “When we’re at the markets, little kids come up illustrations are what she normally does, including and are like, ‘Mum, I have to have that’,” she says. “pencil illustrations that look realistic”.

ime was when a bloke used to be able to clamber under a car, bleed the brakes, adjust the timing, change a hose or gasket, even drop a gearbox or an engine. All in his own driveway.

No job was too much for the innumerable backyard mechanics across Australia. And honing their skills was a rite of passage. Exhausts, flanges, selectors, radiators and hoses, blocks and heads, valves, tappets and diffs were terms as everyday as “g’day” and “owyagoin”.

Not so now. The arrival of affordable cars from overseas and automotive technology have changed all that. Sure, self-taught mechanics are still around, but your average car these days is likely to host a sophisticated computerised donk way beyond the ken of the average Aussie bloke.

In fact, some blokes will shake their heads with accounts of vehicles suffering extraordinary problems.

Or tales of cars’ onboard computers being hacked, control stolen from drivers while they’re at the wheel. It’s almost as if the Australian institution of motoring and tinkering has been nicked by something supernatural.

Wayne Nicholls is one bloke doing his bit to preserve the fine art of negotiating your way through that disappearing world of carbies and cam shafts, tappets and transmissions, sway bars and cylinders.

He’s refashioning that vanishing art by single-handedly carving, shaping and sanding car 16 THE WEEKLY REVIEW \ DECEMBER 3, 2015

parts – miniature car parts – out of timber. And then placing them, meticulously, together to make classic cars such as MGs, Ford Roadsters and FJ utes, even Vincent motorcycles.

They’re exquisite. Folding bonnets, working doors, boots and convertible tops, intricate wheel spokes, panel trims, minuscule engine parts. All lovingly hand-crafted, sawn, drilled, lathed, polished and painstakingly pieced together. Perfectly, too, by the way – as a trophy room of framed silk ribbons, sashes, accolades and prizes readily testifies.

“I came up in the ’60s and everyone you knew had to fix things, you couldn’t afford to go and buy everything, so there were lots of occasions where you’d teach yourself to get things going,” Wayne says. “This is something I just picked up about 10 years ago. I started doing a few things around the house and kept going.

“A little A Model was the first car I did. Before that I’d just made things around the house – a tissue box, a spud box, a window in the old air-conditioner space, an old-style phone – where there was a need instead of going to buy something, I’d make it, mainly from scrap.

“If you look at models, you see airplanes have been done to death. If you look at boats; boats have been done to death. So cars, I suppose, as far as wood’s concerned – especially motorbikes – nobody’s done them.”

and Steib sidecar, an FJ Holden ute and a remarkable 1:4 scale 1945 MG TC – hold pride of place in his lounge room.

The detail is obvious. Radiator grilles, tyre patterns, dashboard gauges, springs, nuts and bolts, fenders and lovingly moulded panels, running boards, spare tyres, mirrors … all in western red cedar with the occasional polished pine as an offset or feature highlight.

Showcase mirrors beneath the models show chassis and undercarriage details.

ach vehicle takes Wayne months to complete, some almost a year. He works off photographs and plots the scale of his models by eye.

“You make one part at a time and you can scale it up as you go,” he says.

“A lot of the work is done by hand, lathe and scroll saw. The exhaust system on the Vincent bike was cut

out and sanded down – anything on the exhausts is all done by hand. I’d be working a couple of hours a night and probably about nine months for most off them from go to whoa. I started the roadster, for instance, with a basic plan but one just for a toy. I just used the wheel base. This has full mechanical detail in it – including the engine in it.”

The models have garnered woodwork awards at the Royal Melbourne Show and various country shows.

They’ve been exhibited at museums, race tracks, rallies, the Ford Discovery Centre and have graced the covers of motoring, modelling and woodwork magazines from the US to the UK. Proud as he is of the plaudits, Wayne most loves the feedback he receives at shows and exhibitions.

“It’s really good stuff,” he says. “I’ll stand back from the display so I can see people’s reactions and you can see that they’re enthused with it.

“It’s just something different. I’ve never seen them done before, I don’t think there’s anybody else out there making these. I certainly haven’t seen motorbikes done in wood.”

If art meets mechanics with Wayne’s cars, it’s not the only evidence of his skills. His Corio home is also inhabited by pendulums and antique phones, inner clock workings, music boxes – things of tone and wood, sometimes metal, that he’s fashioned.

“I think, with lots of things, if you’re making or fixing them, you can pay $100, or $5 and muck around a bit and get it working – like that clock,” he says, pointing to a timepiece on his kitchen wall.

“I made that pendulum and, when I did, I had a saucepan hanging off the wall to test it. My dad came around and said, ‘What the hell are you doing?’ I said I was trying to figure the weight to fine-tune the clock. I had to get the length of the stick all right.”

Oh, and if you think the models might be a little fragile, with all that delicately sculpted timber, you’d be dead right, as one particular incident at the Melbourne Show evidenced.

“The motorbike, the Vincent, I made that for the Melbourne Show,” says Wayne, shaking his head. “We took it up on a Tuesday and got a call on Wednesday saying one of the stewards had dropped it and smashed it to bits.

“It was one of the old stalwarts of the show, who’d been there since the ’50s. I was able to fix it, held my tongue and won back-to-back grand champion with it at the Geelong show.”

Now that sounds like a neat piece of luck but, hopefully, not the sort Wayne might need again. Touch wood, that is. ●

reative people have been busy in recent months, crafting, sewing, stuffing and stitching to help Geelong families in need. Thanks to their handiwork, more than 140 handmade toys destined to be given away for Christmas were donated to Geelong Mums.

Geelong Mums is a non-profit group that collects donated nursery equipment, cots, prams, car seats, clothes and other baby essentials. Through partnerships with maternal and child health nurses and social service agencies, the goods are distributed to Geelong families experiencing hardship.

The toys were donated as part of Handmade Crusade.

The campaign is the brainchild of Geelong’s Anna Host, who makes babies’ and children’s products and sells them under her Fickle Fickle label.

Anna, who has three children of her own, started the campaign this year, encouraging Geelong crafters to knit, crochet or sew a soft toy to donate to charity. She teamed up with The Sewing Room, HUB Retail and Studio, Craft Space and Motherworld Geelong West, where donations could be dropped off.

Anna says Handmade Crusade allowed everyone to contribute what they could to a good cause.

Crafters could make anything they wanted, from teddy bears to “softies” and dolls, as long as the toys

were suitable for children aged three to five. “I knew a few of the girls who started Geelong Mums and always thought I would love to do something for them, but I’m very time-poor to volunteer so I thought I could do this instead,” Anna says.

“I think this year is the year for craft. There are so many crafty people around Geelong and I thought we could all come together as a craft community … There’s so many other crafty people who love making things but they might not have the chance, don’t have a reason to make it, or never get the time.

“But when you are making something to give away to charity, you make the time and it gives you a reason.”

Anna says Handmade Crusade was inspired by similar campaigns in Melbourne and internationally, and from seeing how much her own children love receiving something that has been handmade just for them.

Anna hopes to make it into an annual campaign.

“I know how much care goes into a handmade toy,” she says.

“It’s something children will have forever, hopefully.

It’s something they can get as their Christmas present that is completely unique, handmade just for them and made with love.

“It’s just about helping out a family in need and making something someone will have forever.”

For Anna, crafting is therapeutic. Creating goods under her label Fickle Fickle allows her to be a stay-at-home mum to Matilda, 6, Lenny, 5 and Sullivan, 3.

Fickle Fickle’s range includes personalised superhero capes, Santa sacks and pyjama pillows (cushions fitted with pockets in which children can keep their pyjamas, books or anything else they wish to).

Anna also crochets baby bonnets and can make them to order. ● jmillard@theweeklyreview.com.au » Further information: Anna Host on 0421 733 033 or email anna@ficklefickle.com.au » Facebook: www.facebook.com and search for Handmade Crusade www.facebook.com/ficklefickleshop Instagram: @handmadecrusade Geelong Mums: www.geelongmums.org/home

a cultural ensemble of note A SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA HAS RECENTLY LAUNCHED IN GEELONG, WRITES JULIA MILLARD

G

eelong’s finest musicians have come together in a new orchestra, which is set to be the first of its kind for Geelong and will fill a void in the city’s cultural landscape.

The Geelong Symphony Orchestra, known as GSO, officially launched on November 21. The orchestra will have 50 players guided by the GSO president and musician Wendy Galloway and conductor Johannes Roose.

“Geelong has many fine musicians who are experienced and well trained, but have lacked the opportunity to come together as a symphony orchestra under the baton of a skilled professional conductor,” Wendy says.

“The Geelong Symphony Orchestra will fill this gap – and we are delighted that Johannes Roose has agreed to be our inaugural conductor and musical director.”

GSO public affairs manager Jon Mamonski says the city has come a long way from its blue-collar beginnings.

“Geelong has now reached a point where it has transformed from an industrial city to a smart city. The time is right for the Geelong Symphony Orchestra,” Jon says.

“There are certainly enough musicians here. They just needed to get their act together, rehearse and perform.”

The orchestra was formed after several of the

“the time is right for the gso”

musicians played at the opening of the Grove Pavilion in Ocean Grove earlier this year.

“That core group then got together and said they’d like to develop into a symphony orchestra,” Jon says.

“The Geelong Symphony Orchestra has the mission to be a dynamic and collaborative ensemble performing inspiring music that enriches the cultural life of the region.”

The GSO has received support and funding from the City of Greater Geelong and Deakin University. They

have access to perform and rehearse at Deakin’s Costa Hall, which Jon says is one of the finest concert halls in Australia.

The orchestra will start full rehearsals at the start of February. But Jon says they are always on the lookout for more A-grade musicians with orchestral experience.

“And they will be working very hard. Not only does it require a high calibre of skill to play the instruments, they also have to play harmoniously as a group. That’s another set of skills.”

GSO has two concerts lined up for next year, which Jon says have affordable ticket prices and will be accessible to everyone. The first concert is scheduled for February 26 and the other will be around October.

The February 26 concert will be a gala event showcasing the region’s musical talents at Costa Hall.

Jon says the program is set to impress and inspire lovers of fine music, with Rachmaninoff’s much-loved Piano Concerto No.2 to be performed by celebrated Melbourne pianist Kristian Chong.

The concert will also feature Dvorak’s inspiring Symphony From the New World and Nicolai’s sparkling Overture to the Merry Wives of Windsor Windsor.

“People will be familiar with the work. I encourage everyone to come along, including children,” Jon says.

“I think because it’s Geelong’s first symphony orchestra people will be curious to come along and see how good it is.” ● jmillard@theweeklyreview.com.au » For tickets to the first concert, The New World, on February 26, visit: www.gpac.org.au/event/636/the-new-world

his is the Paris end of Bourke Crescent,’’ Peter Julian (Fruit) told the crowd of 85 at 28 Bourke Crescent, Geelong, on Saturday. “And the property has one of the best man caves I have seen.’’

A buyer’s advocate offered $570,000 for the three-bedroom character weatherboard and a quick-fire three-way contest ensued, with the buyer’s advocate batting away the challengers. In the end, though, he was unable to match the deep pockets of a young Sydney man, the hammer coming down at $661,000 in the latter’s favour.

The action wasn’t quite so hectic at 6 Maus Street, Highton, a three-bedroom house with a leafy backyard.

“You are so lucky to find a quality

property so close to Highton village, yet so far away from the traffic,’’ Kieron Hunter (Barry Plant South Barwon) told the 20 onlookers. Kieron posted a vendor bid of $400,000 and took an offer of $410,000.

He upped the ante with another vendor bid of $420,000, duly followed by an offer of $430,000 from the same party. The property was passed in but sold soon after for $454,000 to a woman from Leopold.

Vendor bids were becoming the order of the day, Peter Maxwell (Maxwell Collins) posting one of $550,000 at 340 Moorabool Street, Geelong, a grand old three-bedroom weatherboard on about 800 square metres.

There was no movement from the 25 onlookers, so Peter pushed the vendor

340 MOORABOOL STREET, GEELONG

5 EVELYN STREET, MANIFOLD HEIGHTS

bid to $600,000, prompting an offer of $610,000. The property was passed in but sold soon after for a substantially higher figure to a local investor.

Two parties fought it out at 44 Preston Street, Geelong West, where Marcus Falconer (Hodges) posted a vendor bid of $680,000 in front of a crowd of 60 to get things going for the four-bedroom weatherboard. The mark advanced to $740,000 before the property was passed in. It sold soon after to a young couple from Melbourne for $750,000.

A vendor bid of $430,000 was posted

by Tony Moorfoot (Buxton Highton) at 7 Kenneth Street, Belmont, a three-bedroom weatherboard.

A crowd of 40 saw two bidders push

the mark to $487,500, at which point the property was passed in. It sold immediately after for a higher, undisclosed price to buyers who intend to live at the property.

It was an under-the-hammer result for Matthew Constantine (Ray White Highton) at 32 Rugby Street, Belmont. A local man who plans to renovate the two-bedroom house got the prize at $350,000.

On Friday night, 35 onlookers took advantage of the coffee truck as Lloyd Moulton (Barry Plant Geelong) put 5 Evelyn Street, Manifold Heights, up for sale. It was a two-way battle that began at $300,000 and ended at $405,000.

The winners of the three-bedroom weatherboard were a local couple. ●

NEWTOWN \ 112 PROSPECT ROAD

WE LOVE IT

T

he garden that cascades down the sloping front yard makes a great first impression at this riverside residence. Paths wind through the greenery, allowing visitors the chance to explore it from top to bottom.

Geelong’s city centre, the ring road, Highton Village and vibrant Pakington Street are all just a short drive away. But the four-bedroom house feels a world away from the hustle and bustle.

It’s a private oasis, with views across to the Fyansford hill and Barwon River bushland adding to the sense of escape.

The outlook makes it easy to appreciate just how remarkable this location is – to be able to feel at one with nature so close to the city.

The feeling of calm and tranquillity created by the gardens – which were designed by renowned Sydney landscaper Will Dangar – continues inside the double front doors of this family house. It’s contemporary and opulent, yet relaxed and serene at the same time.

The lovingly crafted outdoors also have a big influence on the interior of the white brick house. Living zones are designed so they can capture the beauty of the green surrounds from every angle.

Inside the entry, French oak parquetry flooring is an attention-grabber. There’s a formal living area to the left.

It has carpet, an open fireplace and striking original light fittings, and opens to a spacious dining room.

The central kitchen showcases cutting-edge design.

Functionality was obviously at the top of the priorities here.

Along with on-trend styling, the kitchen has a practical layout. There’s a central island bench with a gas cooktop and teppanyaki hot plate, an integrated dishwasher under the wall bench, and lots of storage. Other features such as marble benchtops and a walk-in wine store up the luxe factor.

The kitchen looks across to a second living area, which has concertina doors to a deck.

The main bedroom is at the front of the house and is grand in every sense of the word. As far as parents’ retreats go, it doesn’t get much better than this. The spacious bedroom opens to a walk-in wardrobe and en suite with a mosaic-tiled feature wall in the walk-in shower.

The other three bedrooms are at the back of the house. Each has a built-in wardrobe and is close to the main bathroom.

There are two studies. One is next to the main bedroom and offers a great work space for parents; the other is near the children’s bedrooms.

The backyard is another masterpiece. Behind a steel feature gate, steps lead to a deck with a plunge pool. It is just the place to kick back on a warm day.

The steps continue up to the back of the block, where a gazebo provides a welcome shady spot to enjoy the captivating outlook. It’s a view the new owners are unlikely to tire of. There’s also a vegie patch at the rear of the 1500-square-metre block. Naturally, it too manages to be stylish.

This is a house that offers an unrivalled mix of lifestyle and city conveniences. ● SARAH BIESKE property@theweeklyreview.com.au

Surrounded by lush gardens, this elegant period house is the perfect tonic for a busy life. Completely secure, with a high front fence and secure off-street parking out back, it’s a peaceful retreat just around the corner from dynamic Pakington Street. The four-bedroom weatherboard showcases its heritage beauty with high ceilings, ornate cornices, ceiling roses and leadlight windows.

A fireplace in the formal lounge at the front of the house makes it a great spot to hide away on a cold winter’s night. There’s another living area at the back that opens to a relaxed sunroom.

Polished floorboards from the living area continue to a homestead-style kitchen with timber benchtops and a freestanding stainless-steel cooker. The main bedroom at the front of the house has an en suite and walk-in wardrobe, and there two more bedrooms down the hall.

There’s a fourth bedroom with built-in wardrobes in a purpose-built bungalow out the back.

As well as a double garage, there is driveway parking space. ● SARAH BIESKE

Private sale

This contemporary house offers relaxed family living. It combines modern design and practicality with large open-plan spaces and a floor plan to suit everyone, young or old. The open-plan living zone at the rear is the heart of this sprawling house. The central kitchen includes stone benchtops and stainless-steel appliances. It opens directly onto a covered deck, making it ideal for year-round entertaining. There’s a dining area and living area to one side of the kitchen and a rumpus room on the other. It means parents can keep a close eye on the kids wherever they’re playing.

The bedrooms are in the front half of the house, with the main opening to his-and-her walk-in wardrobes and an en suite. The other bedrooms have built-in wardrobes; two of them are zoned with the main bathroom. Grey gum floorboards are a feature throughout, and the north-facing aspect provides plenty of natural light. The house is close to the ring road and a short walk from the new Barrabool Hills shopping centre. ● SARAH BIESKE

This property is likely to entice a range of buyers. Developers will appreciate the 1018-square-metre block, while renovators have a solid base to unleash their creativity. Growing families will relish the five bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes, the study and the luxury of space. The floor plan has three living zones and two sunrooms. There is a central bathroom on each level and an additional powder room downstairs. Meal preparation and dining will be enjoyable in the bright and breezy north-facing kitchen/meals area. Outside, there’s loads of room for the kids and pets to play in the front and back yards, and a shed that could be transformed into a cubby. There’s a fenced and shaded vegetable garden, fruit trees, and room for chooks for those who feel like continuing the sustainable theme. The double garage has man-cave appeal, with extra storage and a workshop. The location is a winner too: the Barwon River, Belmont shops and schools are all nearby. ● REBECCA THOMPSON

Style and space are plentiful at this luxurious brand-new townhouse. The spacious floor plan rivals that of many houses on the market; the three-bedroom residence also has a study big enough to be used as a fourth bedroom. The open-plan zone offers luxury living, with a quality kitchen that has granite benchtops, a large island bench and a walk-in pantry. It looks onto the meals and living areas, which open to a covered outdoor area. The main bedroom is at the front of the house and has a walk-in wardrobe and stylish en suite. The remaining two bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and are either side of the main bathroom. The bedrooms are carpeted, while tiles and laminate flooring are used in the hall and open-plan zone. There’s a double garage with remote-controlled roller door and access to the back courtyard through a glass sliding door. The property is just a short drive from the Geelong ring road. It is also close to local shops, schools, public transport and recreational facilities. ● SARAH BIESKE

BRENT ILICIC SELLS A PROPERTY AT BARWON EDGE BOATHOUSE More than 120 people packed the Barwon Edge Boathouse last Tuesday (November 24) for Ray White Highton’s in-room auction of 10 properties.

Six of the properties sold on the night, with the standout being the three-bedroom renovated house at 68 Apex Avenue, Belmont. Keen interest saw the property sell for a price well above reserve.

Bids on the night were fielded by Brent Ilicic, the Ray White group’s international auctioneer of the year.

Ray White Highton director Matthew Constantine described the event as a great success.

“We had a punt with the method and it paid off big-time,” Matthew said.

The firm has another in-room auction planned for Wednesday, December 16. ● PAUL CHAPPLE
