NOEL MURPHY FINDS BL ANDNESS DESTROYS

brightly coloured paving stones, chimneys purpose-built for clambering up to the roof, loquat trees for Tarzan swings, a Kookaburra stove, radios that played 3AK and 3XY … and so much more.

The house was sold off after grandma’s demise a while back now. Bloke with a liking for mechanical memorabilia bought it and proceeded to cover it with colourful metal auto genre pictures – classic petrol and oil brands, car advertising, that kind of thing.

Lots of it, too. A couple of my rellos dropped by on him and said g’day, told him how the house was built elsewhere and moved to the site in the 1920s. They didn’t much fancy his changes but things change, we all move on.

Thing is, the house was still there. We could still drive past it, recognise its handsome Federation lines, the garden’s trees and bushes and indefatigable hydrangeas, the stone and concrete footpaths and verandah steps, the windows, chimneys, roofline. Everything was still there and still loved, just by someone else.

But that changed a year or two back when the house burnt to the ground.

Never heard what caused it but mum cried. Cousins waxed lyrical in Facebook testimonials. For some reason, though, I just couldn’t bring myself to go see the ruins. I drove around nearby dozens of times, thought about it, but kept imagining I was going to a funeral parlour to view a lost loved one.

After the Wye River Christmas Day fires, I bolstered myself. I knew I had to go see things. Christmas Day and my granny’s house were synonymous.

Driving closer, I mentally prepared myself for a grisly, empty block. I knew the site had been cleared and I was expecting it to look much smaller than I remembered. I was ready for that. I’d been cautioned about the loss of familiar trees and pathways. It was going to be a void. I was ready for that, too.

What I wasn’t ready for was what I found.

A new house under construction. It looked like any other building site in the wall-to-wall estates that medium-density policies have promoted around the country – sterile, soul-less, character-less.

This wasn’t the site of my past or anything to do with that past. Move on, nothing to see here, was all I could really think. Apart from one other thing: I hope those people rebuilding at Wye River can do so with a little more flair and sympathy to their pasts.

Somehow I think they will. ● nmurphy@theweeklyreview.com.au

F

ire can be a wicked thing when it’s not working for you. Just ask anyone along the Great Ocean Road who has lost a house. I couldn’t help feeling empathy with some of the Wye River folk who found their possessions and memories turned to blackened stumps and charred ruins. Memories no longer able to be triggered by physical prompts somehow feel challenged, a little more fragile.

Peculiar thing is that the Wye fires prompted me to visit a place I’d been staying well away from for the past couple of years. Can’t explain exactly why; I think I wanted to know something of what the Wye fire victims felt.

The place was my grandmother’s old home, a rambling weatherboard more than a 100 years old and replete with a lifetime’s memories of cousins, aunts, uncles, Christmas dinners, birthday parties, juvenile tree-climbing and exploring, old dunnies and dunnymen, horse-and-cart milk deliveries, sprung beds with heavy printed quilts, a glorious wooden latticed nursery, wood-heaps, briquette-heaps,

About Juliet

I started Geelong Nannies in 2011 because … my business partner Mel and I saw the demand for a local nanny and babysitting agency in the area and the opportunity to help others.

My vision for Geelong Nannies was … to become successful helping families all over the region. Down the track we plan to franchise our business in other smaller cities around Australia.

Our clients include … parents who work full-time or part-time, and parents who either need time to themselves, a night out or an extra pair of hands. Over the past almost five years, we have helped more than 750 families.

People hire our nannies for … our integrity

make waves,

n t war NICOLE MAYNE meets the teen actor who’s so busy, he put L.A. on hold

10 THE WEEKLY REVIEW \ MARCH 17, 2016

MARLON BRANDO. ROBERT DE NIRO. WARREN BEATTY. SALMA HAYEK. The alumni list from acclaimed US acting academy Stella Adler reads like a who’s who of Hollywood.

S

“I could go over there & be nothing & have to come back but you never know unless you go”

o Clifton Springs teenager Keith Purcell is understandably excited that his name is poised to be added to the graduate list from the school’s Los Angeles chapter.

The talented 18-year-old actor has the world at his feet after winning a coveted scholarship to hone his craft for a year at the Hollywood Boulevard academy.

He beat more than a dozen other Australian hopefuls for the spot after travelling to the US with his agent.

But for now he’s put his international career ambitions on hold to focus on his first major role in Australia.

Keith is one of several young emerging actors cast in the ABC’s forthcoming adaptation of John Marsden’s bestselling young adult fiction book Tomorrow When the War Began. The six-part series was shot late last year, including several days of filming in Barwon Heads, and will screen on ABC3 this year.

The adventure-packed drama series follows a small band of teenagers separated from their families during a foreign invasion of Australia. They return from a camping trip and start waging a guerilla war on the unidentified enemy.

It’s a big breakthrough for Keith, who has already appeared on our television screens in smaller roles and commercials.

Like many who have gone on to bigger and better things, he cut his teeth on Neighbours with a recurring guest role in 2014. The experience cemented his passion to pursue a career as an actor and he juggled his high school studies with lessons and auditions to keep his dream alive.

He first studied acting with Screen Actors Australia before moving to Active Performance Studio, based in Grovedale.

“Since I was little I was obsessed with film and TV and being an actor was like the ultimate for me,” Keith says. “It was not until I was 12 that I realised you can actually do acting lessons and pursue it as a career.

“It has always been something I take seriously but at the same time I never imagined I could make a career out of it.”

At 18, Keith has a youthful face and slight frame but is clearly tougher than he looks. Until he landed the role of Chris Maxwell in Tomorrow When the War Began, he had been knocked back for four out of every five roles he auditioned for. He continued to plug away, waiting tables at Ocean Grove’s Driftwood Cafe in his down time.

He didn’t think he stood a chance to win this part either, because he was initially asked to send in a video self-test for the role of Kevin Anderson.

“I knew I was never going to be cast as Kevin – he was that tall, blond surfer,” he says, referring to his own slight physique. “I was later asked to audition for Chris.”

Series director Brendan Maher was clearly impressed after interviewing Keith for the role.

“It is always the audition you leave thinking, ‘I stuffed that up’ that you are called back in there,” Keith says. “I think getting your hopes up after you leave an audition is really dangerous, especially in this industry.”

He says scoring the part felt like recognition for all his

P I C T U R E \ R E G R YA N hard work and was thrilled to be part of a quality show aimed at young people.

“Especially here in Australia, young people are cast because of their face,” he says. “A lot of the time the characters are cardboard teenage cut-outs.”

He hadn’t read John Marsden’s books when he won the part, although he had seen the 2010 movie version of Tomorrow When the War Began. There are seven books in the bestselling series and he’s up to number three when we meet.

“Chris was really fun to play because he is quite moody and very sarcastic,” he says. “I think what is great about the TV series is that it is kind of the best place for the book because there is so much character development and so much going on.

“I think that everyone who saw the movie wanted a sequel and, if they’re willing to accept a modern take on it, they will enjoy it. There are a few things that are different.”

K

eith, the youngest of three children, grew up in Clifton Springs. He attended Drysdale Primary School and then Bellarine Secondary College until year 9. He found school wasn’t for him so instead completed his VCAL certificate last year through the Gordon’s Geelong Technical Education Centre.

Filming of Tomorrow When the War Began happened to fall during his final year but he never faltered from his long-term goal.

“It was tricky; there was a time when I was wondering if the role would mean I was not going to get through year 12,” he says. “I remember saying to mum, ‘If worst comes to the worst and I do fail year 12, at least I have this role’.”

He first went to LA in 2014 with his agent for two weeks of classes at Stella Adler. Out of 15 candidates he was one of two chosen for a 12-month scholarship, which he has deferred for another year. He still has to support himself while he’s there and plans to continue waiting tables, ramping up his Aussie accent in the hope of extra tips.

“It is incredible. I think it is one of the most respected schools in America; they have got a New York school as well,” he says of Stella Adler.

“I feel especially now because of the TV series I am going to sit here for a little while and try and soak up whatever I can here.

“I feel like when the time does come [working in the US] is definitely something that I want to pursue in the future. I could go over there and be nothing and have to come back but you never know unless you go.”

His dream is to one day have someone watch a TV series or see a film because he is in it.

“It sounds arrogant but I think if that was ever happening I have reached where I want to be. Not necessarily having to be some big star but having someone want to watch my work.” ● nmayne@theweeklyreview.com.au MARCH 17, 2016 \ THE WEEKLY REVIEW 11

Cafe Moby is open seven days a week from 6.30am. The menu is mouth-watering with a range of dishes to complement different palates and dietary requirements. Chris said the focus was on clean, healthy, fresh food with everything made to order.

“We can change things up, add things, take things out [of the dishes to suit people’s dietary needs].”

The cafe will launch a new menu after Easter to reflect the change of season. Diners can expect to see some exciting new additions with a new pastry chef onboard.

“A lot of places try to replicate a lot of what we do; we don’t mind that, it’s a compliment.

The team has worked really hard on it, it’s a

“You can’t have everything on the menu, so what we try to do is have an amazing product on the plate that is completely different to what you get in most other cafes, and which is reasonably priced.”

For breakfast there are small options such as the porridge, a popular dish made from coconut and organic quinoa with stewed rhubarb, lemon curd, macadamia, chia seeds and mint ($13).

Another favourite is the seasonal avocado with Meredith goat’s feta, sourdough toast, Mount Zero olive oil, beetroot salt and dukkah ($14).

iners at Cafe Moby on the Esplanade at Torquay can be forgiven for settling in with a morning coffee and not wanting to leave.

Situated in a converted beach shack, the cafe’s laid-back vibe is perfectly attuned to its beachside location and gives you the feeling you have retreated to your favourite holiday house – with delicious food and drinks on tap.

The Esplanade at Torquay is bustling at this time of the year, with Cafe Moby one of several options available for diners along the popular strip.

It’s the perfect spot for a lazy Sunday breakfast or lunch or just a coffee and cake after a morning walk along the waterfront or a paddle in the ocean.

It’s understandable that this cafe does a roaring trade, especially on weekends; there’s muffins, cakes, slices, health bars and good coffee to tempt you, a dynamic breakfast menu and a lunch list with everything from gourmet sandwiches to burgers, a curry and tasty salads. The menu has a strong focus on vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes, with plenty of interesting options.

There’s al fresco dining at the front of the cafe, perfect for a sunny day and people-watching, or you can retreat inside the quaint cafe and sit by the window with your morning paper and latte.

Venture further into the cafe and there is a big backyard with a play area to keep the troops entertained and plenty of tables and chairs and couches so mum and dad can relax over their breakfast or lunch while the children burn off energy.

Chris Owen and his wife Vanessa had a sea change about six years ago, buying the cafe and making the move from the hustle and bustle of Melbourne.

“When I was working in Geelong, my wife and I lived in Jan Juc and we always said we would come back to Torquay and raise a family. I had a pub in Melbourne for many years and when my little boy was just over one I woke up one morning and said it was time to go. I was lucky enough to be able to sell my pub and sell our house and move down and start all over again,” Chris says.

“We have three kids and another one on the way. It’s a really wonderful work/life balance.”

Chris says the cafe has about 100 regulars who pop in each morning, many of whom have their favourite seat they sit in each day for their caffeine hit and to catch up on the local news.

“That’s what I love about it. It’s a really personable business and we have worked really hard to create that so [customers] feel they have a shared ownership in it. They see

has poached eggs, hickory-smoked bacon, pork and fennel sausage, Padron peppers, garlic mushrooms, tomato kasundi, Meredith goat’s feta and sourdough toast ($22).

Lunches range from sandwiches ($9) to the Moby Burger (beef) for $18, lamb souvlaki ($18) and a Thai beef curry ($19).

“Everyone does a burger but I think the stand-out for us as far as burgers go is the pork burger,” Chris says.

The Vietnamese-style burger ($16) is on a Zeally Bay brioche bun with pork belly and condiments including coriander, Vietnamese mint and pickled carrot.

“My favourite meal is the soba noodle salad; you can have that with chicken if you like but I prefer it as it is. It’s a really beautiful salad, with a Japanese influence. It’s wonderful.”

The salad ($15) is made from organic buckwheat noodles, sesame, kale, edamame (young soybeans), spring onion, pickled ginger, cabbage, cucumbers, with a dressing made from Japanese ingredients wakame, nori, yuzu and miso.

A Thai beef curry ($19) – made with local beef, red curry, coconut, peanuts, kaffir lime, green beans, nashi pear, lime, mint and coriander – is also a hit.

It might be a favourite for coffee lovers but the cafe is also well known for its fresh juices ($8), such as the green juice with cucumber, apple, mint, ginger, celery and pear as well as their fruit smoothies ($8) and a good selection of Leaf Teas ($4.50).

There’s also a beer and cider list and a small selection of wine. ● JESSICA GABITES » Cafe Moby, 41 The Esplanade, Torquay, opens seven days a week from T 6.30am.

The TWR team agreed Baker’s Delight hot cross buns had the right amount of everything. They were light and fluffy, quite plump in size and had a very satisfying amount of fruit and spice content, which was enjoyable. They also had an attractive glaze, thick white crosses and lots of fruit popping out that added to their appeal. ●

Born & Bread’s hot cross buns were one of our staff panel’s top picks.

The buns were large, had a deep, gleaming glaze, nice chunky pieces of fruit throughout and a light and fluffy texture. The buns also carried a lovely aroma of spices, which was almost Christmas-like.

They were full of flavour and the perfect blend of light dough, spice and fruit. ●

This was an impressive all-rounder. ●

Rustic and dark coloured with a big chunky cross on top – don’t be put off by the appearance of the buns. They smelt divine when we put them to the test; a delicious mix of spice and citrus aroma filled the room as soon as the buns came out of the grill. We guessed they had used orange zest to create a standout flavour throughout. This is another top pick this Easter. ●

Routleys’ buns were moist and light with a citrus peel taste. They had a nice crispy, unglazed crust and a light fruity flavour. ●

La Madre’s buns were an equal favourite among the TWR team.

They were appealing to the eye, with a sticky glaze, crispy top and thick crosses. They were quite heavy to touch but we were pleasantly surprised at their light sourdough texture. Not too sweet, with a good spread of fruit and spice, this was a well-balanced and tasty bun. ●

FORENSIC SCIENCE

Zeally Bay’s unglazed buns were dark, dense and rustic with loads of fruit and citrus peel bursting out of them. Their aroma is best described as chai latte. They would benefit from being cooked on a hot plate to help caramelise the fruit.

Being sourdough, the buns had a slight chewy texture, which was a nice point of difference. ●

Opening hours \ Monday to Thursday 7.30am-5pm, Friday 7am-5pm, Saturday 8am-2.30pm, closed Sunday.

Those with a sweet tooth would enjoy these buns. We rated them sweeter and whiter than others, which could be due to the glaze on top. They had good fruit content and looked pretty. Nice crusty, crunchy top. ●

here’s been a lot of ‘magic’ happening lately down at Boom Gallery’s new cafe, Lola’s Kitchen. It seems customers can’t get enough of this coffee style – a double ristretto topped with steamed milk served in a small cup to produce just the right ratio. “A lot of people have been asking for ‘magics’ this week,� says barista Tori Fox. “It’s a double restricted with less milk than a latte. “I’m doing like seven a day.�

It seems regulars at the cafe have come to appreciate the creamy mouth-feel and well-textured milk the magic is known for – and a talented barista who knows how to strike the perfect balance.

Tori is right at home behind the Lola’s Kitchen coffee machine, soaking up the industrial vibe of the gallery’s large foyer.

Here, in the old RS&S woollen mill, artists and residents from the river end of Pakington Street gather for their daily caffeine fix.

The cafe was previously home to Dirty Rascal. It has since been renovated to open the space up and increase seating but retains its focus on quality coffee. It is only the second Geelong cafe to use Industry Beans, roasted in Fitzroy. Brothers Steve and Trevor Simmons started Industry in 2010 after roasting for themselves in a tiny garage.

They now have a cafe/roastery offering a range of brewing methods from espresso to pourover, aeropress and cold drip.

in Indonesia (40 per cent), with those from Cauca, Colombia (40 per cent) and San Emilio Estate in El Salvador (20 per cent). The result is a smooth and balanced coffee with sweet citrus, plum and chocolate notes.

“We have had a lot of people find out that we have Industry beans and come in here,” Tori says. “I feel people are coming to know this is where they can get a really good coffee.”

But she says it comes down to more than just the beans; the other key is perfectly smooth milk. Nothing is left to chance here.

“The way we make our coffee we specifically measure it out for each coffee and make sure it is the perfect pour every time,” she says.

“Throughout the day we make an espresso for ourselves to make sure it is OK.” For those in a hurry, there is also the option of hot or cold filter coffee ready to go in a flask.

Tori gets a real buzz from working in such a dynamic space and thrives on the interaction with her customers.

“People come in here and get their coffee in the morning and it takes five minutes. It is nothing out of their day but it is therapeutic and relaxing and I get to be in that mindset all day,” she says. ● NICOLE MAYNE

JULIA SWINKELS IN THE CELLAR AT THE MAX HOTEL 18 THE WEEKLY REVIEW \ MARCH 17, 2016

NOEL MURPHY looks for geelong’s subterranean stories

Y

ou know, if you listened to every urban myth about old Geelong, you’d swear folks spent half their time underground, moving sly grog, trading contraband, gun-running and transporting convicts between the port and various waterfront shanty pubs.

Why people would have to adopt such subterranean subterfuge is a mystery. In Geelong’s early days, sans gaslight or electric light, it was all you could do to find your way around at night without a decent moon.

If you wanted to move contraband about, you could do so easily – provided you had lamps of some sort.

There was not really any need to excavate great swathes of the township to do your dirty work. Besides, surely someone would notice the considerable amount of soil dug from the tunnels. During the day, that is. Getting rid of it would have needed more wheelbarrows than you could poke a crowbar at.

Still, the stories persist – a booze brigade between the docks and The Max Hotel in Gheringhap Street, female convicts shackled to tunnel walls, and sleeping quarters carved out of the earth beneath the Terminus in Mercer Street, banknotes and gold bullion carried between banks either side of Malop Street near Johnstone Park, an underground passage from the old gaol on Myers Street to an early Supreme Court building.

Maybe the tunnels were a means to move illegal immigrants away from inquisitive eyes? A bloke tells me the practice was common. He thinks the tunnels have legs primarily for this purpose rather than rum-running or other smuggling. He says there was an immigration base out at Point Nepean. They were always checking for shonky arrivals; night-time arrivals, spirited away through serpentine escape routes, was the way to go apparently.

Now, I don’t want to kill off these ideas. They’re steeped in the mystery, history, crime, brutality, skulduggery and malfeasance everyone likes to think lies under Geelong if you scratch a bit. Not that you really have to scratch that deep for trouble – Geelong’s courts have flourished since day one.

Thing is, the more I do scratch about, the more I talk to people who might reasonably know about these tunnels, the more I think I’m just digging my own hole. I’ve tracked down official maps of every known pipe under central Geelong. I’ve talked with historians, publicans and people who grew up in said pubs. I’ve looked about in pub cellars.

I’ve spoken with blokes who claim they’ve seen the shackle fixtures. I’ve spoken with water maintenance crews, local authorities, with sewer rats who’ve crawled up drains and outfalls and scoured every inch of the waterfront for tunnel exits. I’ve pored over photos taken inside stormwater drains. I’ve spoken to blokes who claim they were hospitalised with skin infections from insect bites or something worse while exploring ancient, bricked drains in search of clues.

(REG RYAN)

C

hris de Uray, proprietor of Antiques and Collectables on Mercer Street, in what was the Terminus, says a brick wall covers what he believes was a female prisoner facility. But he believes the cavity collapsed years ago due to roadworks and tramworks. Hence the wall.

“There was supposed to be a tunnel under here all the way to the beach to bring convicts in and then take them to the courthouse,” he says. “But they did a lot of things around this area with all the trams and buses they brought through Mercer Street and, when they started digging them up, some stuff probably collapsed.

He says he’s fascinated by Geelong’s tunnel stories but not curious about what lies behind his brick wall. He gets inquiries from time to time but rejects petitions to view the wall. There’s nothing to see, he says. He’d be right; I saw it myself when it was still the Terminus.

THE OLD TER MIN US HOTEL

“you’d also hear that peter lalor might have hidden there after he was injured at eureka” – Col Chapman L TH E M AX HOTE

“I can’t let people down there because of my insurance,” he says. “I’ve had some inquiries, but there’s a steep staircase and if someone fell I could get sued.”

Col Chapman grew up in The Golden Age Hotel, now known as The Max, when his father ran the pub in the 1960s and ’70s, but says he never found anything resembling a tunnel.

“That’s not to say there wasn’t something 100 years ago or more,” he says. “You’d hear the tales from the old blokes. You’d also hear that Peter Lalor might have hidden there after he was injured at Eureka.

“I used to do the barrels. There were three main rooms down there: the main cellar, another room to the right under the bar, and another behind it. I heard rumours myself – the tunnel was supposed to go down to the waterfront – but I didn’t see anything.

“The floors have probably been concreted over. I had a good look because it was a pretty strong rumour. What I can tell you is the foundations are [made of] brick that was imported from England and the piers are four bricks wide. The pub’s as solid as the day it was built.”

Authorities confirm, off the record, that sections from a number of old tunnels still exist under Geelong CBD streets. Most were constructed by commercial and other organisations many years ago for a variety of purposes.

All are now either closed, blocked off or have collapsed.

There are no records, charts or maps of where these tunnels were once located. The best that can be gleaned is that it is anecdotally known that sections of old tunnels exist somewhere under some CBD properties.

So I’m still in the dark. I know various underground passages exist: the old train tunnel, the police station’s shooting range, the tunnel from Geelong Hospital to the old Baxter House, an old market passageway beneath Centrepoint Arcade on Little Malop. I know, too, that you could find water wells inside houses on Latrobe Terrace, Skene Street and elsewhere around old Geelong.

All kinds of interesting cellars and basements can be found in city stores and pubs as well.

It’s frustrating not to be able to find hard evidence of the mystery tunnels. Not just the apocryphal mayor’s escape tunnel or the tunnel between the priests and the nuns, the old police station and court, or the World War II bomb shelters, but the tunnels so many people believe exist courtesy of Geelong oral tradition.

Still, I think I’d rather be frustrated than certain that no secret tunnels existed. The notion of undiscovered secret tunnels is almost as good as knowing they did exist for real. Maybe it’s even better. Who knows? If they’re found to be true they might be rather mundane and nowhere near as exciting as we’d hoped. ● nmurphy@theweeklyreview.com.au MARCH 17, 2016 \ THE WEEKLY REVIEW 19

DINING IN

Bunnies, plenty of chocolate and the wonderful fusion of pastel hues and bright colours… Easter style is about celebrating.

The traditional long Easter Sunday lunch is a good time to showcase this. Easter egg lovers also know that chocolate also works well for decorating … sprinkle a few eggs on the table for a grown-up version of an Easter egg hunt.

Ideas for setting the Easter table are endless: think of your favourite Easter elements and

astels, bright colours and metallic influence dominate trends for this year’s Easter style, sitting alongside festive elements such as turf bunnies, elegant rabbit motifs and whimsical Easter egg wreaths.

For the kids, besides Easter egg hunts and the usual trove of chocolates, there’s plenty of plush toys that may be enjoyed. Bunnies have always had a starring role but are increasingly versatile; check out the range of bunny dolls.

To decorate an Easter meal, there are lots of little decorations (fuzzy chicks or egg-shaped tins), which, if added to placemats, turn a table setting into something quite festive.

And freshly cut flowers, especially Easter daisies, always create a sweet mood. ● ANNA KOSMANOVSKI akosmanovski@theweeklyreview.com.au

Dinner plates $34.95 each, bowls $24.95, champagne glasses $18.95, wine glasses $17.95, tin egg containers $15.95, painted eggs, from $3.95 each, candle sticks $21 a pair, from Lily Pond colours – remembering this is a celebration of rebirth – then let your imagination go free.

Having a simple enough backdrop for the table (burlap or white for the cloth) allows freedom for a pastel palette, a focus on bright colours or a mix of both. Where you might normally use black or dark colours, try cream or white for a fresher look.

There is some beautiful Easter crockery around for those who favour elegant pastel hues with delicate detailing but then there’s lots of cute bunnies motifs to really ramp up the fun factor.

EASTER STYLE

In terms of Easter style and decorating, think of a downsized version of Christmas.

You might incorporate nature motifs – tree branches, nests, eggs and birds – and hang little eggs off them or attach decorative birds.

Easter egg wreaths are popular – try making one yourself with wrapped eggs on a twig base or sitting in a wicker “nest” – while pretty bunting in classic pastels, or in any Easter theme, adds a festive touch.

Fresh flowers and lots of greenery is on par for an Easter Sunday meal. Take it one step

further and buy a bunch of Easter daisies for both tradition and rustic style.

FOR THE KIDS

Easter is not all about the chocolate. Plush bunnies have been joined by ‘bunny dolls’ too, ranging from low prices to boutique buys. These can be dressed with removable clothes so you can refresh the gift with new outfits every year. Get kids to create their own keepsake with an egg-painting activity, or try hiding a timber rabbit in a floral centrepiece that a child can find and take home. ●

t’s been 103 years since Amy Smylie entered this world. She is now one of 4400 centenarians in Australia, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics as of June last year.

Amy, who is Grovedale Gardens’ oldest resident, celebrated her 103rd birthday last month surrounded by friends and family.

On February 12, Amy was presented with a cake decorated with Scotland’s native flower – the thistle – while decorations filled her room and many laughs were shared. It’s not every day you reach such a milestone.

“I had no idea they [the residents and staff] were going to do what they did,” Amy says.

“They did it very secretly. I had an idea they would do something but no idea it would be that. They even had Scottish bagpipes playing for me.”

Her family originates from Scotland and her late husband David was also Scottish. He moved to Australia from Edinburgh in 1926.

Amy (nee Holmes) was born on February 12, 1913, in Wallacedale, in Victoria’s Western District, and was one of seven children. Her father was a farmer and she

the call of the wildcard

Jan Juc siblings Cody & India Robinson are hoping to catch the biggest break of their lives, writes JESSICA GABITES

G

rowing up with three older brothers and a father who all surf it’s little wonder India Robinson feels most at home in the water.

The 15-year-old from Jan Juc got on her first surfboard when she was about five and has been surfing competitively since she was 12.

Since then India has shown she is a force to be reckoned with, being named the 2015 Victorian Open Women’s Champion and winning her first ever pro-junior event at the 2015 Maxum Women’s Pro Junior in Cronulla last year. Her second career WSL Pro Junior title came at Phillip Island on March 6.

Later this month she will compete in her own backyard, Bells Beach, in the trials for the Rip Curl Pro. She will compete against eight other top Australian female surfers for a wildcard entry into the pro, which is the world’s oldest running professional surfing competition.

“I was probably about 12 when I started surfing with friends and I started getting into comps and I really liked it. It’s a really fun vibe,” India says.

“It’s a really good way to have fun and catch up with your friends and be with nature and it’s always changing. It’s so much fun.”

These days, the event attracts 36 of the best male surfers and 18 of the top female surfers in the world who will compete for a prize pool of more than $1 million. Big names who will descend on Torquay for the competition include Kelly Slater, Gabriel Medina, Steph Gilmore, Carissa Moore and Mick Fanning, who will take a break from the sport after the Rip Curl Pro. The Pro is recognised as one of the most esteemed events on the world tour.

“It is arguably the most prestigious event on tour and I think it’s definitely the most prestigious in Australia,” says Surfing Victoria chief executive and former pro surfer Adam Robertson.

Adam, who competed in six Rip Curl Pros and was runner-up in the 2009 event, says the “trophy has a really strong history in Australian surfing and world surfing”.

Between 25,000 and 45,000 people are expected to flock to Torquay during the Easter competition to witness top sportspeople riding the challenges served up by the ocean.

“Bells is quite an amphitheatre set-up that is great not only to watch the surf but to watch the best surfers in the world surfing a world-class wave,” Adam says.

(REG RYAN)

entry to the rip curl pro “is pretty much every kid’s dream coming from down here” – cody Robinson India, who is finishing her schooling through distance education, says she is totally focused on her surfing and hopefully one day making it on to the world tour.

The teen says it would be a dream come true to be successful at the trials and make it through to the main competition, which will be held from March 24 to April 5.

“If I got through I would just be so happy. The Rip Curl Pro has been around for so long and is one of the most renowned waves and biggest contest in Australia,” she says.

“It’s such a good wave and such a cool place [Bells Beach] with all of the cliffs.”

The Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach is stop number two on the World Surf League Championship Tour after the Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast, held earlier this month (March 10 to 21).

The Bells Beach competition, which started with humble beginnings in 1973, became Australia’s first professional surfing event with the country’s top surfers battling it out in the day for beer money, which they then spent at the local pub.

While India will compete for a spot in the women’s competition, her older brother Cody is also focused on securing a spot in the Rip Curl Pro. He will be one of 24 Victorian men competing in the 2016 Premier’s Active April Trials for a wildcard entry to the main event.

After just missing out on a spot in the main event last year, Cody, 18, is looking to go one better this year.

Currently rated in the top 100 in the World Qualifying Series, his love for surfing has taken Cody around the world to competitions in locations including the Caribbean, Hawaii and Brazil.

The teen says the trials are one of his main goals for the year and getting a wildcard entry to the Rip Curl Pro would be the ultimate prize.

Geelong artist Moyra Le Blanc Smith will hold her first solo exhibition, Inspired by Nature, at Eagles Nest Gallery next month. The artist is passionate about Australia and enjoys painting the bush – from oil paintings of forests, flowers to the outback, gum trees and the sea. Gallery owner Nadia Rocchi and Moyra will donate 20 per cent of the proceeds of exhibition sales to the Friends of the Leadbeater’s Possum. “It is a seriously cute little animal and lives in Victoria’s mountain ash forests … it is on the critically endangered list due to loss of habitat from clear-fell logging and bushfires,” Moyra says. “I thought, why not use the art to make a difference to the survival of this creature and, along with it, the other animals and plants that will be nurtured in the process.” The exhibition opening coincides with Possum Awareness Week, which runs from April 3 to 9.

of this property “W inspections during the campaign,’’ Jason

renovation, on behalf of a young woman.

A former Geelong resident, she plans to return to live.

Another big crowd turned out at 134 Barrabool Road, Highton, where Ben Riddle (Buxton Highton) told 70 onlookers to ignore rumblings about the market.

“Bricks and mortar are the best investment you can make,’’ Ben said.

Four parties agreed with him and there was a keen contest for the three-bedroom brick house on just under 770 square metres. An opening gambit of $350,000 was followed by 32 more bids before the hammer came down at $445,000.

Ben had declared the property on the market at $400,000.

The winners were a young Melbourne couple who will move down the highway.

At 65 Walsgott Street, North Geelong, Joe Grgic (Harcourts North Geelong) had to contend with a wandering toddler as he talked up the location of the three-bedroom weatherboard on 710 square metres.

“There is really only one direction for this property to go, and that’s onwards and upwards,’’ Joe told the 25 onlookers as the screaming toddler was plucked up by dad.

A young man offered $250,000 and two other parties showed interest. The property was on the market at $280,000 and the original bidder was still going strongly.

In the end, he won the day when the hammer came down at $300,000. A local,

he bought the property as an investment.

Matthew Constantine (Ray White Highton) reminded the crowd of 35 at 6 Walpole Avenue, Belmont, that the suburb was in high demand. “There will be an influx of people coming to Geelong when the monolith that is the Epworth Hospital opens in July,’’ he said.

He took an opening offer of $270,000 for the three-bedroom brick house, kicking off an intriguing contest, mostly between a man and a young woman.

At $335,000, the property was declared on the market. The hammer finally came down at $341,500 in favour of the man, a local. He bought the property as an investment. ● PAUL CHAPPLE

Nevins (Hocking Stuart Geelong) told the crowd of 80 outside 17 Oxford Street, Belmont, on Saturday. “That tells me something – Belmont’s hot.’’

What followed was a two-way contest that kicked off swiftly with a bold opening bid of $380,000 from a buyer’s advocate.

An older man took on the challenge and offers rose in $10,000 lots to $410,000. It was then cat-and-mouse stuff, with the older man in front when Jason brought down the hammer at $425,000.

The man had been bidding for the three-bedroom weatherboard, ripe for

mbling through the front gardens and towards the entrance of this remarkable Victorian homestead is like stepping into an episode of Escape to the Country Country.

You know – that British reality television show that sets out to find a dream home for families wanting to escape city life.

Only this house has the best of both worlds and there’s not a cramped reception room or poky kitchen in sight.

Built in 1856, Morningside, on a 1711-square-metre block, feels a world away from the hustle and bustle – even though Geelong’s city centre is actually within walking distance. It showcases all the beauty of its era: towering ceilings, ornate cornices, colonial windows and fireplaces.

It looks just as it would have in its glory days but this is only because of a painstaking restoration that took years to complete. The current owners went to great lengths to retain its authenticity, spending about $700,000 just to get the necessities completed, such as rewiring, re-flooring and re-plastering. That was before they even began to make it look beautiful again.

You don’t so much notice the cosmetic changes as appreciate them. The house hasn’t been modernised or stripped back to suit today’s more contemporary trends.

A neutral colour palette would simply look out of place here, which is why cream, green and burgundy have been embraced. Because of the size of the rooms, it works. It gives warmth to the large spaces.

The grand proportions are immediately on show once inside. You can picture being greeted in the wide entrance hall by a butler, shedding your coat and being ushered into the formal lounge through double doors to the right.

The lounge has a stunning bay window as well as a working fireplace. There’s another living room around to the left of the hallway, with polished floorboards giving it a more relaxed ambience. A large rumpus room on the eastern side of the house could be used as a teenage retreat, studio or perfect children’s play room.

The bedrooms are all on the western side, including the expansive main bedroom with floor-to-ceiling built-in wardrobes and an en suite. North-facing views to the front gardens from a bay window make this a real parents’ retreat.

The further four bedrooms down the hallway each have built-in wardrobes. The main bathroom has a corner spa bath and walk-in shower; a timber vanity and tiles in green and cream continue the nod to its past.

The kitchen and dining room are at the back of the house, with a stunning feature skylight bathing this south-facing section of the home in natural light. It’s a great addition that looks as though it could have been there from the beginning.

The kitchen has timber cabinetry, lots of bench and storage space and an Ilve cooker. The dining area opens to a paved courtyard and overlooks the swimming pool.

As well as rose gardens out the back, there’s also a studio and storage room.

Pakington Street’s cafes and restaurants, some of Geelong’s best schools, the train station and the waterfront are all within walking distance, offering an exclusive lifestyle opportunity for families. ● SARAH BIESKE property@theweeklyreview.com.au

Bursting with character, this sprawling Californian bungalow has just the right number of new touches. Built in 1919, it’s been beautifully restored; the ceiling roses and cornices are ornate, and towering ceilings enhance the sense of space.

There are bedrooms with built-in wardrobes either side of the entrance hall, with potential to use one as a formal lounge. The spacious central living area is carpeted and opens to a dining room. The kitchen is nearby. Recently renovated, it manages to balance style with substance, with white stone benchtops, stainless-steel appliances and French provincial-inspired cabinetry complemented by timber-panelled walls and ceiling.

Louvred doors lead through to the laundry. There’s a third bedroom off the east wing at the front of the house. The main bedroom and its en suite and walk-in wardrobe are at the back behind a library. The tranquil rear garden comes with a self-contained unit that contains a bedroom, en suite, kitchenette and living space. ● SARAH BIESKE

The other bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and one has been set up for use as a salon – it could easily be converted back to a bedroom. The bathroom has neutral, large-format, floor-to-ceiling tiles. Outside, there’s plenty of room to entertain and for children to play, as well as scope to create a dream garden. There’s space to park a boat or caravan, too.

There’s more to this four-bedroom brick house than meets the eye. It has been carefully maintained and much-loved over the years but it is also impressively spacious, with plenty of room for families to grow. The flexible floor plan offers relaxed living spaces for adults and children alike. The front half is the parents’ domain. There’s a spacious lounge with fireplace, a home office and the main bedroom with built-in wardrobes and an en suite. The back section of the house belongs to the kids, with three bedrooms – each with built-in wardrobes – and the main bathroom. The third and fourth bedrooms are linked. Alternatively, the third bedroom could be used as a playroom or teenage retreat. The central kitchen and living area is where everyone can come together, with a nearby dining room opening to a covered outdoor area and a private, manicured backyard. Set in a quiet street and close to shops and schools, it’s a family-friendly location just 15 minutes from the city centre. ● SARAH BIESKE

This is an opportunity to get your foot in the door of one of Geelong’s most popular suburbs. Much of Belmont, especially this pocket that’s just blocks from High Street and within walking distance of the Barwon River, has already been renewed.

This two-bedroom abode is ready for an overhaul and, with some love and consideration, it could be something special. With a spacious backyard, there’s plenty of room for an extension, and the house itself is something of a blank canvas. It has an easy flow throughout and with a lick of paint and some cosmetic updates, it would be liveable until you decide how to put your own stamp on it. The two bedrooms are a good size. The kitchen has a generous walk-in pantry. Surrounded by character houses and set in a wide, tree-lined street, the location is one of convenience. The High Street shops have everything you need, the Belmont Hotel is just down the hill and the CBD is a five-minute drive or an easy bus ride away.

It’s also less than 15 minutes to Surf Coast beaches. ● SARAH BIESKE

Easter is a great time to spend quality time with family and friends. That’s why we’ll be closed from 5pm Thursday 24th and back on Tuesday 29th March with the same enthusiasm you have come to expect from the team at Whitford. It’s this dedication to raising the bar that has helped establish us in Newtown and along the Surf Coast as a premium boutique real estate agency. So, if you’re interested in service that is second to none in both sales and property management, make sure you hunt for us after the chocolate eggs.

As an added bonus, Christian’s father has donated a 1956 Olympic towel signed by Dawn Fraser to be auctioned, with all funds going to the Good Friday Appeal.

Auction day will be an exciting event. A huge family fun day has been planned, with appearances from various celebrities. ●

eelong real estate agent Christian Bartley is preparing to bring down the hammer for charity at the annual Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal.

The managing director at Bellarine Property will auction a new four-bedroom house, with all proceeds going to the appeal.

Villawood Properties donated the block of land at its Trillium Mickleham community, with Henley building the contemporary double-storey property.

About 400 tradies and suppliers donated their time to ensure the charity home is completed by Good Friday.

Villawood Properties executive director Rory Costelloe said that with 36 homes auctioned over 22 years, the initiative has raised almost $13 million for the hospital.

“Last year’s event, also held at Trillium, was highly successful with the home selling for $646,000, all of it going to the Royal Children’s Hospital,” he said.

“We’re hopeful of going even better this year. As usual we’re putting in a big effort to make it a success, as are our suppliers and contractors and those of Henley.”

This initiative resonates in particular because so many of us involved have been

Release Property Management has opened the doors to its new office at 88 Pakington Street, Geelong West.

After a comprehensive fit-out, Release has turned a one-time Lifeline shop into a modern and fresh new office environment catering for more than 15 staff.

The agency managed more than 1000 properties from its Ryrie Street office for eight years. Director Renee Reynolds says much has changed in that time.

“We had outgrown the Ryrie Street office and parking for our clients and staff was hard to find,” she says.

The new Pakington Street office is not only bigger, to allow for the company’s continued growth, but parking is also easier to find.

“Of course the staff also love the local shopping, cafes

and restaurants along the street,” Renee says. “When we first started, I saw the property management industry change with rental prices declining due to economic changes and large subdivisions being released.

“There has, however, always been a demand for rental properties and, over the past couple of years, I have seen strength return to the rental market and, in turn, rental prices increase.”

The Pakington Street office will serve the Geelong area and provide services such as marketing and human resources to other branches. Release will also begin to focus on the Bellarine Peninsula. ● JULIA MILLARD

Minds at Work founder Jason Clarke helped launch the 2016 Upstart Challenge business ideas competition in Geelong earlier this month.

The challenge is for high school students and aims to build a culture in which young people believe in themselves and are keen to start their own businesses.

Jason’s Minds at Work think tank, which champions innovation, teamed up with Upstart to raise stronger awareness among businesses about the importance of nurturing young entrepreneurs. He has worked with clients across Australia on issues ranging from creativity, innovation and problem solving to culture change and leadership.

The event, held at the Geelong Library and Heritage Centre, was also a networking opportunity for the business community, entrepreneurs, innovators and educators. More than 80 guests enjoyed drinks and canapes matched with views across the bay from the fifth-floor balcony.

Upstart director Jenny Perks says the Upstart challenge programs encourage innovation and entrepreneurship in students.

“Having watched my own kids grow in confidence and creativity through the Upstart program, I found myself with this amazing opportunity to help create those experiences for many more young people,” she says.

“We believe we have created something special and we would love more students, schools and businesses to join us.” ●

» Students, teachers and parents can register for the next event, Upstart’s Big Ideas Competition student launch with Jason Clarke, at the Deakin Cats Community Centre on March 22. Register at www.upstartchallenge.com.au
