ave to say the recent spate of fires around Geelong seems a curious phenomenon. Mosques, houses, cars, storage units, chemical blazes, even a pier. There’s arson, friction fires, pyromania, spontaneous combustion, even the occasional accidental fire.

You name it, seems we’ve got it, or we’ll get it soon enough. But my attention was hijacked when I saw a video of Geelong bloke Norm Douglas’ recent experience aboard Singapore Airlines flight SQ368 after it landed.

A wild blaze on the wing of the Boeing 777 you’re inside doesn’t inspire confidence.

Luckily for Norm and his 220 fellow passengers, fire crews doused the flames and all survived.

Not the first Singapore blaze to affect Geelong folk, though, as I recently discovered.

Looking over old pictures at The Geelong Club, I tripped to a pencil sketch of the Corio Bay waterfront from Eastern Beach to Moorabool. Unsigned and undated but I’m

guessing it’s somewhere around the original club’s inception in 1859.

The sketch features names for the buildings it depicts. Not unlike another famous picture of early Geelong’s waterfront, painted by Wilbraham Liardet from the Western Beach aspect. It points out Corio Villa, Dr Day’s house, police quarters, pilot houses, Fyfe House, Bayview House (now the derelict Ritz Flats), the Volum Brewery and Macks Hotel.

Front and centre of this simple tableau, however, near the corner of Swanston and The Esplanade, is an extraordinary structure of double-storey timber terrace houses. Looking out to the water, the You Yangs and on a clear day to Mount Macedon and the Dandenongs, the building had the best view in town. This was before any trees blocked the view.

The complex’s nine buildings were inhabited by more than 70 residents in “a respectable sphere of life”. Seems fair to assume they were people of means and that developer Alexander Fyfe’s housing project, built in 1855 of timber imported from the Far East, had turned him a reasonable profit.

Welcome to Singapore Terrace.

Hope your insurance is paid up, though.

all its occupants homeless. Reports said the saddest sight was the “throng of bewildered and terrified women and children rushing from the houses”.

Some were appalled at the enormity of the threat facing them, one was overjoyed at evacuating her “little ones scatheless”.

Residents and bystanders watched on, gobsmacked as firefighters battled to contain the blaze. Fire brigades from Geelong, Newtown and Chilwell and their engines, buckets, hoses 60 metres up from the beach – nothing stopped the blaze from turning the resinous timber the terraces were built of from turning white hot and collapsing.

Lucky thing was, no one died in the fire.

Not so lucky were domestic pets and chickens.

Oh, and evidently, someone’s pet monkey expired as well. Oddly enough, however, rodents that had been plaguing the area cleared out a day or two before the fire. ● nmurphy@theweeklyreview.com.au

“it was a waterfront inferno to match any new year’s eve fireworks since” For within just seven years, in March 1862, “the greatest ornament of the Esplanade overlooking the Eastern Beach” was burned to the ground. It was a waterfront inferno to match any New Year’s Eve fireworks since, maybe even the clipper Lightning’s conflagration on the bay in 1869.

The fire started between floors and, fanned by a strong, hot north-north-westerly, proceeded to demolish the buildings, leaving

A typical working day for me includes … analysing trends, often by installing or “playing” with new technology to understand its applications and limits, report writing, client presentations and running events such as hackathons.

My passion for this industry was ignited when … I’ve always enjoyed technology. When I was a little girl I wanted to be an astronaut! My parents always encouraged me and I had computers at home from a young age – something not all kids are fortunate enough to have. I’ve stayed in digital / tech – unlike many other women – because I’ve been given great opportunities.

I am inspired by … those who inspire and ignite passion in others. You’re not a leader until you’ve grown a leader who in turn has grown another.

When I’m not working I am … knitting!

Because computers aren’t nerdy enough!

I recently organised this year’s GovHack, which is … a two-and-a-half-day open data hackathon.

Government departments – federal, state and local – release data sets that designers then “mash up” to create new apps, websites and tools.

If you are interested in getting into this industry you should … be relentlessly curious.

Explore technology for the fun of it. Give it a go. Find other people who like digital technology and hang out with them. Share your learnings. Blog. Tweet. Finish high school, and get a degree. You’ll use it. There’s going to be a massive digital skills shortage by 2020 – it’s a growth industry.

I won … the My Idea My Geelong competition with an idea for a MakerSpace in Geelong – a vision shared by Jennifer Cromarty (Creative MakerSpace) and Todd Hubers (Industrial MakerSpace). It’s a space where curious people can come together to tinker, to play, to learn, to code, to build, to explore – and in doing so build a strong community of makers, builders, coders and innovators.

I love my job because … technology is such a big part of people’s lives now. If we make technology better, we make humanity better.

The most challenging part is … explaining very technical concepts in ways that are easy for non-technical people to understand. It’s an art!

Working in the tech/digital field is … exciting, rewarding, challenging and intellectually engaging.

eelong actor Natalie O’Donnell has travelled across the world and all over Australia with her career while balancing family life and supporting her husband Simon Gleeson’s acting career.

Over the past 18 years, she has appeared in various musical, theatre, television and film productions. Her impressive list of theatre credits includes Mamma Mia (as Sophie), Les Miserables, a co-lead in Jerry’s Girls, and Doorstep Arts’ Next to Normal (as Diana). Simon has just returned from Asia, where he played Jean Valjean in the Australian production of Les Miserables.

Natalie and Simon have Molly, 10, and five-year-old Raf but, busy as life is, Natalie wouldn’t have it any other way. She started acting at a young age after moving to Geelong from Colac when she was eight. Her love of acting was nurtured throughout Sacred Heart College and through local company Doorstep Arts.

“Acting was never something I contemplated as a career,” Natalie says. “I remember being a kid and pretending I was on Young Talent Time and it just seemed so far away. Once we got to Geelong and I started high school, I did acting all through high

and we were looking at where we were going to base ourselves and moved back to Geelong. It’s a really great place. My mum, dad and family all live in the area. It’s really nice to have them close by. There is such a sense of community down here, it’s quite extraordinary, and there’s such an eclectic bunch of people and a lot of people who have chosen to move here from the country, Melbourne and Sydney.”

Geelong also lends itself to acting opportunities, with Melbourne only a short drive up the highway. Natalie’s most recent role was in the musical Songs for a New World (Blue Saint Productions) in Melbourne in June.

“It was the most challenging vocal role I’ve done to date,” she says. “It was also asking me to explore a side of myself that I haven’t been asked to before. I said yes to the role in fear. I thought I should be doing things that scare me. It was really rewarding because of that.”

Natalie was nominated for Best Female Artist in a featured role in musical theatre at the 2006 Green Room Awards for her role as Olive in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. She has also appeared in various television shows including Mako: Island of Secrets, Mr & Mrs Murder,

Natalie O’Donnell tells Julia Millard how she balances family life with two actors in the house school and joined Doorstep Arts. It was amazing to come up through this youth theatre company. I loved growing up doing theatre in Geelong. Absolutely loved it. It’s where I felt at home and my friendships have lasted from then until now.”

Natalie started a university degree after high school, but soon realised acting was her true calling. So at 19 she auditioned for and went on to train at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA) for three years.

“I realised I was not as passionate about anything than I was about performing. So I wasn’t left with much of an option than to try and pursue it,” she says.

“I was completely the kid from Geelong who found herself in an entirely new world at WAAPA … It was a place where you could really test the boundaries as an actor and you could fail without having the pressures of people coming to watch you and see shows. It was really special.”

Natalie and Simon were in the same class at WAAPA and both scored roles in Les Miserables after graduation. ““Les Les Miserables was my first professional show.

I got that role three weeks after graduating from WAAPA. Strangely enough Simon and I were the two people in our year that got into that show. We spent the first 12 months out of drama school working together,” Natalie says.

“From WAAPA I based myself in Sydney and then moved back home while I was doing Mamma Mia!.

We then moved to London for five years, moved back to Melbourne and then we had our second child Raf

atalie played Veridia, the leader of the mermaid council, in seasons two and three of Mako: Island of Secrets. She appears in three episodes of season three, which is the latest season to air on Network Ten’s channel ELEVEN. Natalie will be in the season finale, which is scheduled for August 28.

The season is also available on Netflix (as Mako Mermaids Season 4).

“It took me a little while to get my head around screen and it’s been really enjoyable to do more of that,” Natalie says. ““Mako is so much fun. The producer Jonathan [M. Shiff] has such an extraordinary mind and has been making television for young people for years. I remember Ocean Girl when I was younger and he also did the H20 series.

“I honestly feel like a mermaid. He creates it in a way that you 100 per cent feel like a mermaid. Being a mum of an almost 10-year-old, being on Mako gives me a bit of street cred with my daughter Molly and her friends.”

Natalie, who is currently on break from acting, explains how she and Simon balance their acting careers with family life. Simon’s role in Les Miserables has been a big part of their lives for the past few years.

“It’s such a balance having two actors in the family,” Natalie says. “It’s pass the parcel in choosing to have a family and choosing to be parents because once kids come into the equation, both of us working on a

professional level is incredibly difficult. The kids have to have stability and we want to give them that stability.

It’s important that one of us is home.

“We very much make choices as a team. It makes it a lot easier when we go away for work because we are both all over what needs to be done and how it needs to work. We wouldn’t do any longer than six weeks apart.

“If the acting opportunity is there, we have to endeavour to make it work. It has also lent itself to amazing experiences as a family and the kids have travelled and Molly was born in London.”

Molly may even be the next actor in the family. She has started acting classes at Mooregrace Acting Studios in Newtown. “It’s funny that my daughter Molly is getting to a point where she loves performing. Her world is completely different to what Simon and I grew up with as she has been introduced to the industry at such a young age,” Natalie says.

“Schools now embrace diversity and encourage probably more so than when I was at school. I was very, very supported at Sacred Heart with my performing, but acting just wasn’t considered a career option at that time. It’s a bigger industry now.

“The theatre scene in Geelong is so completely different now with the shows’ budgets, sets and quality of performers. My mind is blown.” ● jmillard@theweeklyreview.com.au » Watch Natalie in the finale of Mako: Island of Secrets on August 28 at 10am on ELEVEN.

Ask the wine guy WITH BEN THOMAS I love rich, oaky, buttery chardonnays Q but I find them hard to come by – do you have any suggestions?

Those wines are hard to find. The days A when chardonnay was heavily oaked appear to be long gone. Some tips though:

don’t drink chardonnay straight from the fridge. Let it warm up and the flavours will flesh out a little. Also have a look at the alcohol levels – the higher the alcohol, the riper the grapes and, in theory, the richer the wine. Look for wines from warmer regions, such as McLaren Vale, Barossa and Riverina, where the grapes produce flavours at the riper end of the spectrum. ● GOT A QUESTION EMAIL \

Sue says produce sourced locally is complemented by vegetables and herbs from their garden and they make their own breads, cakes and pastries on-site.

“We do a full range of wedding and celebration cakes, which certainly turn heads.

Recently we have had some new developments using different varieties of wine in the kitchen, where we now produce red wine salt, shiraz vinegar and wine-infused garlic for our garlic bread. We have a greenhouse as well as a vegie garden and we have that rotating on an ongoing basis with seasonal vegetables.”

The bistro is well known for its wood-fired SHER WAGYU BURGER

oven pizzas that cost from $24. Other popular winter dishes include the Sher Wagyu burger ($28), the Bannockburn country fried chicken ($28) and the salt and pepper calamari (lightly fried local calamari with a Sicilian salad and aioli; $18 for an entree or $32 for a main), which has been a menu staple since day one.

They also do a three-cheese plate ($22), a shed platter charcuterie board (local cured and smoked meats with condiments for $26).

And there’s a variety of desserts including the popular chocolate brownie sundae ($14).

Each dish is matched with a recommended wine to help diners with their menu choices.

Sue says Clyde Park’s customers include “wine enthusiasts, families, real foodies exploring the region and our wonderful weddings and parties that are hosted”.

Clyde Park often hosts events at the property, including corporate functions, Christmas dinners, birthdays, wedding receptions and anniversaries. They also have a catering business, Pop Up Party Catering, which was launched last year and includes the wood-fired oven pizzas, seasonal platters, canapes, desserts and cakes for special occasions.

Aromas of peaches and grilled nuts, with a zesty citrus kick, really get the saliva going in the mouth in anticipation of the first sip.

When it hits the mouth there’s broad peach and melon flavours, plus a line of grapefruit (juice and pith) flavoured acid adding refreshment. It’s aged in oak for a year, with fine, powdery tannins giving the wine a gentle grip to the finish. ●

Named after the surf break east of Winkipop and Bells Beach, there’s a load to like here, starting with the rich aromas of tropical fruits, melon and peach.

Grapefruit kicks in on the palate to rein in the rich flavours and a light grip finishes off the compelling structure. There’s texture and a smoky, grilled nuts character on the finish. ●

L

ess than half an hour after leaving the city you can find yourself immersed in the picturesque Moorabool Valley, enjoying local produce and premium cool-climate wines.

Clyde Park Vineyard & Bistro has been owned by Terry Jongebloed and his wife Sue Dixon since 1997. The winery is on the hills surrounding the Moorabool River and its focus is on producing premium-quality cool-climate wines.

Renowned for its top-quality pinot noir and chardonnay, the Bannockburn winery is a James Halliday five-star-rated vineyard.

While the wine is definitely a star attraction, the elegant rustic bistro with a French influence and stunning views is also drawing visitors from far afield.

Inside the bistro, surrounded by wine barrels and with pretty lights hanging from the ceiling, diners can enjoy a wine tasting before moving to their tables to indulge in a lunch menu rich in regional fare, much of it picked straight from the garden. And on Sunday afternoons visitors can sit back with a glass of wine and enjoy their lunch while listening to live acoustic music.

Sue is also Clyde Park’s principal culinary director and says the food side of things evolved about 10 years ago. “The bistro has a strong regional and creative focus. It is our desire to provide customers with food that had a home-cooked feel, was plentiful and used local ingredients and suppliers, using as much produce from our kitchen garden as possible. Cooking and baking evoke fond memories of cooking with my grandmother and family celebrations,” she says.

“We don’t over-process our product so you can really taste the product and we try to source our produce as locally as we can. For example a key local producer is Sher Wagyu from Ballan – fabulous-tasting produce and great to work with in the kitchen. Currently we are using their meat for our burger.”

OR TRY THIS Yalumba Roussanne 2015 (Eden Valley) $24; 12.5% Roussane is the chardonnay of France’s Rhone Valley and its rich flavours and medium body make it a lovely alternative to a bold chardonnay. This smells of green melon and peach, roast almonds and ginger. It’s creamy smooth and rich in the mouth, with similar set of flavours and a refreshing line of acid. ● Enjoy with \ Salmon fish cakes 92 100

(REG RYAN)

ven when he’s not working as a barista Greg Hall-Burns spends most of his waking hours thinking about coffee.

“I had a couple of days off last week and I spent most of my time going to different cafes,” he says.

“Over three days I probably had 40 coffees.

It’s all good until the fourth day, when you can’t sleep.

“It is a really social thing for me. I could comfortably sit and stare into the bottom of a cup for two or three hours and watch the world go by.”

The former owner of inner-city coffee bar 10 sq M has a perfect window on to the comings and goings of Pakington Street from his new workplace, Southside Store.

This casual, coastal-inspired cafe, which aims to bring a slice of Torquay’s beachy vibe to Newtown, opened a few months ago.

Greg’s passion for coffee caught the eye of owners Jason Kayler-Thomson and Belinda Van Zanen, who were looking for a new project after selling nearby Burger Inc. The creative Torquay duo shares Greg’s love for Sensory Lab coffee. Southside Store serves the Steadfast blend for white coffee and Seamless for espresso drinkers.

Greg says the Steadfast is an equal mix of natural-processed Brazilian beans and water-processed Colombian beans.

“It has big chocolate flavours and sort of sweet caramel fudge,” he says.

“It is your quintessential coffee, it’s not too new wave. It just tastes like coffee and I think that is why people like it.”

The Seamless seasonal blend also relies heavily on Colombian beans with 50 per cent from Condor San Agustin, 25 per cent from Condor Rioclaro and Kenyan Karimi Kirinyaga to round out the flavours.

Greg has been caught up in Geelong’s growing coffee culture since arriving from his native Northern Ireland three years ago.

But, despite his fascination with the roasting process, it’s the social allure of coffee that really piques his interest.

“We live in Torquay and we have got timber cladding,” Belinda says. “We wanted a little bit of a homely feeling here.”

Geelong refinery manager Thys Heyns has worked around the world but Moving here has been like coming home, writes JESSICA GABITES

T

hys Heyns and his wife Debbie have seen a lot of the world over the past 25 years. His work, in leadership roles in refineries, has taken him from his homeland of South Africa to the United Kingdom, Europe, the United States, Western Australia and now Geelong.

The couple arrived here last year, with Thys taking over as general manager of the Geelong Refinery. He arrived at a time of great change at the refinery, an industrial landmark for more than six decades.

Just months before Thys started in the new role, Shell Australia announced it had sold the refinery to Viva Energy Australia 60 years after it opened the first of Australia’s post-war refineries to come on stream. The sale ended months of uncertainty about the future of the refinery and the local manufacturing industry.

Reflecting on his first year, Thys says it was a successful period for the refinery, which processes 36 million barrels of crude oil a year with a turnover of about $2 billion at current crude prices; it produces just over half of Victoria’s petrol and other fuel needs and about 10 per cent of Australia’s fuel. There are 750 people working at the refinery.

Thys says the globetrotting lifestyle has provided wonderful opportunities.

“The reality is I’m one of those fortunate or unfortunate people, whichever way you look at it. We’ve probably had close to 25 years of a globally nomadic existence. For me it has been an amazing adventure.”

Thys says he feels at home in Geelong on both a professional and personal level.

“Geelong feels a little bit like coming home for my wife and I. On the work front I walked into familiar territory as refineries have similar natures.

“And as far as Geelong goes, my wife and I both grew up just outside of Cape Town in South Africa in Somerset West, a satellite city to Cape Town. Geelong feels like coming home in that way too because we are not in Melbourne but are close enough to have the attractions of a big city nearby.”

Thys says he and his wife, who have two adult sons, have enjoyed discovering local attractions such as the wineries, Great Ocean Road and historic towns.

“I tell people I’m a really simple man. I work, I spend time with my family and if I’m not doing those two things I am on my bicycle somewhere.”

“We ended up with a really good business result on the back of production records, which ended up with good financial outcomes and commitments to invest in the future of the business,” he says.

These commitments include investing in a new crude tank, which will increase the refinery’s crude oil storage capacity by about 40 per cent. The new tank is part of a $350 million upgrade over five years.

“It [the crude tank] was a project that was on the books for the refinery for more than a decade and then in the first year of being Viva Energy we’ve had that approved by the board and the crude tank is in the process of being constructed. So I would say I could hardly have expected a better year, as my first year here at Geelong, in my wildest dreams,” Thys says.

This year the refinery will invest about $100 million in a “turnaround” – maintenance of the southern end of the plant – after last year’s $50 million turnaround. The turnarounds are big maintenance stops when they shut down the plant, do repairs and upgrade equipment.

Before Geelong, Thys was the Business Unit Leader (general manager) at BP’s Rotterdam refinery in the Netherlands for five years and, before that, general manager at BP Kwinana refinery in Western Australia.

Thys has recently “gone totally crazy” and signed up to ride in the Wiggle Amy’s Gran Fondo along the Great Ocean Road in September, Around the Bay in October, and the Peaks challenge in Tasmania in October and Victoria in March. He also has his sights set on the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race in January.

Being involved in the refinery’s national community program Jigsaw is also something Thys is passionate about. Viva Energy Australia is committed to providing up to $3 million for the program over the next three years, focusing on mental health and substance abuse.

“In Geelong we’ve partnered with Headspace, an organisation that deals with mental health issues for 12to 25-year-olds, and closer to home we’ve continued our affiliation with Northern Futures to address joblessness in the disadvantaged communities,” Thys says. The refinery has 13 apprentices, with five coming from the Northern Futures affiliation.

“I find energising and exciting the prospect we can get the team at Geelong all working for the long-term sustainability of the site and the long-term preservation of jobs and the continuing contribution we make not only to Geelong but to Victoria and Australia.” ● jgabites@theweeklyreview.com.au

pring is in the air, bringing with it warmer days, new possibilities and a change of style. It’s also the time of love in bloom (hello wedding season) and that’s exactly where romantic style takes its cue.

Romantic styling for this season is going beyond the traditional looks. Chiffons, pinks, dreamy whites and long skirts are there, but expect twists, turns and new interpretations on the theme with notes of ’90s and ’70s style. Think colours and styles shifting into more liberated ground with deep blues, blacks and shoulder cut-outs as well as details such as bows, ribbons, lace and lattice-like accents.

Anything “floaty” is a good way to achieve the romantic look, but temper it with something structured or fitting for contrast.

Try a loose top paired with skinny jeans, or a maxi skirt with a simple, fitted tee, for example.

Romance has an undeniable connection with florals and we’re seeing this in a new way, such as the pairing of a structured long skirt with a flower-graphic tee, for instance.

Bell sleeves, the hero sleeve of the season, reflect the romantic aesthetic well.

The ’70s-inspired detail, which can be anything from long and drapey to substantially flared, has been a great (warm!) choice for winter and now we can expect to embrace it in floatier forms for spring and summer. ● akosmanovski@theweeklyreview.com.au

The bell-ringer: Robin Canniford in the belfry.

(REG RYAN) 16 The weekly review \ AUGUST 18, 2016

real peal appeal NOEL MURPHY meets the enthusiastic crew who ring the bells at st Paul’s anglican church

T

hey were the punk rockers of their day, unruly lads from well-to-do backgrounds on what seemed a mission to challenge the established order. Vagabonds and heathens, or so people liked to think.

Their workplace rules warned against fighting, quarrelling, swearing, spitting and drinking. No low-lifes, drunken fellows or Sabbath breakers wanted in this job. Which makes it strange they were even in their particular line of business.

Truth is they made a hell of a racket. Which was just the point. The noise. It’s kind of hard to separate from the job – when the job is bell-ringing. And a couple of tonnes of heavy metal rocking the belfry will make a racket. Guaranteed.

The noise, however, is musical, even mathematical, as Robin Canniford will attest. And today’s bell-ringers aren’t nearly as much the wastrels they might have been 200 years ago. More likely to be surfers, like him, or lawyers, engineers, teachers, accountants, drivers or sensible retired folk, often with a sense of history.

“It’s a bit mediaeval; it hasn’t changed much over the centuries, that’s one of the fascinating things about bell-ringing,” says Robin. “And it’s a very embodied thing, it’s of one those activities that’s learned by doing it. You can be up and ringing a bell in a couple of weeks but it’s a lifetime’s work and you can tell who can do it immediately because of the way they handle themselves in the environment.

“It’s the biggest musical instrument there is and where I’m from they can weigh up to four tonnes. It’s a dirty big lump of metal on a rope and its dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing.”

A ringer with St Paul’s Anglican Church on Latrobe Terrace, this 40-year-old Englishman – a Melbourne University lecturer – says bell-ringing is a skill that offers not just an ear-splitting reward but a wahoo buzz on par with his wave-riding. With breaks the length of the Surf Coast under his belt, and working the

bells of hundreds of churches too, he sounds qualified to comment. Not too many surfing campanologists around to dispute the point, I’d imagine. Not that they call themselves campanologists – that’s one myth Robin is keen to dispel. That and the Mars Bar TV advert’s notion of bell-ringing monks flying up and down on their ropes like trampolinists.

No such luck, it seems. Your feet tend to stay on the ground. You could bounce around if you liked, he says, but anything over a couple of feet off the ground and, well, it could get messy coming back down.

St Paul’s has eight bells, a full octave in the key of E flat and, according to Robin, they’re as presentable as any set of bells anywhere. “They’re a modern set of bells.

They were put up in the 19th century but they were put

“it’s a dirty big lump of metal on a rope & it’s dangerous” – robin canniford

up wrongly,” he says. “There’s a hell of a knowledge in the architecture and the bells and it turned into a thing of competing with other cities: ‘Oh crikey, we’ve got to have the best bells’.

“But they stuck them up too high and the brick tower couldn’t take them. Basically, they didn’t ring for years.

Eventually, our bell captains David and Mary Heyes helped take them out and sent them back to the UK’s Whitechapel Foundry and in 1982 got them back.

They’re what I reckon is one of the best set of bells.

“There are about 60 bell towers in Australia and about 4000 globally. I’ve rung about 200 and Geelong’s bells are right up there. We’re the only ones in Geelong with a full set of bells swinging in a full circle. The English

developed the mechanism. It’s the difference from Lithuanians, the Italians, the Russians – who all ring beautiful bells but none of them swing in a full circle.

Ours are on a wheel and it’s a very controllable machine that allows extremely tight tolerances and enables a perfect percussive rhythm and mathematical-type progressions.”

The bells date from 1866 and follow a degree of competition between St Paul’s and Christ Church after the marriage of the Prince of Wales in 1863 when, as St Paul’s records put it, “many people in Geelong lamented that there was no peal of bells to herald such occasions”.

The two churches mounted appeals, with a Mr Holdsworth of Ashby pitching for St Paul’s bells and a Mr Ashmore for Christ Church. St Paul’s had an advantage: it was practicable to raise the height of the tower at St Paul’s while the Christ Church tower wasn’t considered capable of holding the extra weight.

The church bells started clanging in 1866 but, when an inherent weakness was noted in the tower’s strength, this was curbed to more modest chiming from 1884.

This was the case for another 50 years when the tower was strengthened and the bells rang out to welcome the Duke of Gloucester. A team of English bell-ringers in town at the same time, however, advised the tower still wasn’t tough enough and the bells went back to being chimed – including for Queen Elizabeth’s 1954 visit.

When upgraded in the early 1980s, they were fitted to a steel frame with ball bearing actions and all-new working gear. The tower and floors were renovated and a concrete ring beam was installed in the tower. The best part of a century later, the bells were all good at last.

These days, you’ll hear the bells pealing every Sunday morning, at weddings and each Monday evening when Robin and his colleagues practise their craft. “We have a core of 10 of us. It’s a funny thing, everyone makes a hell of an effort to get there on Sunday morning, no matter how hung-over they are,” jokes Robin.

“I’ve been ringing bells since I was eight or nine years old. My Dad taught me; it’s a bit of a family thing. I’m from Devon, in south-west England. I came out here in 2010, basically with a bag of surfboards and not much else. Bell-ringing is a little bit like surfing or cricket or any other thing like that. If you walk into a bell tower and you can do it, you have some friends.

“It’s interesting, if you look at the history of bell-ringing, there’s a sort of vagabond image, of guys sneaking out the back, a bunch of heathens, and there’s often been a tension between the clergy and the ringers.”

The old rules of St Paul’s confirm as much with regulations stating: “If any ringer of the said number is guilty of fighting, quarrelling, swearing, drinking, or smoking in the belfry he shall forfeit 1 shilling. We know that we have our own houses to eat and drink in, and our own firesides where we can sit down and smoke. There is a time and place for all things.”

Fortunately, these days the church and parishioners are very supportive of their ringers. Fine upstanding figures all round, no doubt. “Old Mr X always gives us a little clap on his way into the church, which is nice and we’ve had people pop up and tell us how much they like the sound,” says Robin. “All we need now is a few new recruits and we’ll be good to go for a long time.” ● nmurphy@theweeklyreview.com.au » facebook.com/geelongbellringers AUGUST 18, 2016 \ THE WEEKLY REVIEW 17

Volunteers fathered for a planting day and morning tea along the Waurn Ponds Creek behind Bunnings.

A group, comprising 30 Friends of Waurn Ponds Creek members, Sacred Heart students and Gordon students, planted about 500 grasses.

The group also planted 300 shrubs and trees for National Tree Day on July 31.

The Friends of Waurn Ponds Creek meet regularly to help conserve native plants, birds and fish, to create a corridor of green to link the southern suburbs and connect the local community through teamwork.

The group, which has 12 core members, also supports Clean Up Australia Day and World Environment Day. They will gather again behind Bunnings for a planting day on Sunday, August 21, from 9am. New helpers are welcome. Just turn up, register on the day and bring some gardening gloves. ●

MARKET NEWS

\ STRO N G GROW TH IN HOM E BU ILD IN G

eelong’s construction industry has revitalised over the past 12 months with affordability advantages, a strengthening local economy, rising population and lower interest rates activating buyers.

Over the financial year ending in June, 2386 houses were approved for building in Geelong, according to the latest Australian Bureau of Statistics data, up 11.4 per cent on the number of approvals recorded over the 2015 financial year.

The first six months of this year have had a significant rise, with 1279 approvals compared to the 1075 recorded over the same period last year, producing a strong increase of 19 per cent. The strengthening building activity comes on the back of a median house price increase of 8.6 per cent over the past year for Geelong, to $420,000.

Domain chief economist Dr Andrew Wilson says the growth rate, which was higher than the Melbourne market, shows confidence in the current local market.

“The rising demand for housing has also translated into strong growth of housing construction, which is fuelling an improved local economic performance,” he says.

Grovedale has been the most popular Geelong region suburb for house building approvals over the year, with 641 recorded.

22 THE WEEKLY REVIEW \ AUGUST 18, 2016

Home ground: Building approvals are solid for the Surf Coast, one of the Geelong region’s hot spots for new homes. The Dunes Estate, pictured, in Torquay is selling stage eight. (SUPPLIED)

Ocean Grove and Barwon Heads also recorded strong house approvals, with 478 reported over the year ending June 2016.

Barry Plant South Barwon director Brett Walker, who is selling Grovedale’s Hillview Heights Estate, says there are just two blocks from 49 left. With prices starting from $165,000, he says the affordable price point and convenient location are behind

the interest from those looking to build a new home without breaking the bank.

“They’re within walking distance of the Waurn Ponds station, which has been a huge selling point and they’re on relatively flat land, which saves buyers a lot of money when it comes time to build,” Brett says.

“There’s not a lot of land left in Grovedale and people are starting to recognise the

value for money it offers. Hillview Heights has certainly been highly sought-after and comparable blocks in Waurn Ponds, even though it’s a similar location, are more expensive. So Grovedale’s definitely a more affordable option when it comes to building.”

Solid home-building activity has also been recorded on the Surf Coast over the year ending in June, with 387 house approvals reported by the bureau – just below the 390 approved over the previous financial year.

Fruit Property director Peter Julian, who is the exclusive agent for Torquay’s The Dunes Estate, says interest in the development is still strong, with six blocks from stage eight selling at the weekend.

He says the coastal lifestyle and new infrastructure are the key drawcards for buyers looking to build in Torquay.

“The best part about The Dunes is it’s within walking distance of the beach, but it also has a new shopping centre, high school and sporting facilities, so it’s got everything families are looking for,” Peter says. ●

lassic Cape Cod design and elegance meet in this impressive family house with a dress circle address. The quiet, leafy Highton streets are the perfect backdrop for this recently updated house, which sits on a 1013-square-metre block and is surrounded by landscaped gardens.

It’s pretty as a picture inside and out and offers indulgent living spaces and luxury finishes.

The floor plan is symmetrical and relatively simple – living spaces downstairs, bedrooms upstairs. But there’s nothing simple about the house itself. The beauty of each well-formed space encourages admiration.

The sophisticated facade features dormer windows and arched ground-floor windows with timber shutters. Double front doors lead to a grand entrance hall, floored in glossy tiles that continue through to the back of the house.

The formal dining room to the right of the entry also has a tiled floor. It’s a big room with views of the front gardens and a door to the kitchen.

Left of the entry is a large formal lounge with a gas log fireplace and charcoal-grey carpet. There’s plenty of room for the whole family to relax in here.

The second living area is part of the open-plan zone at the back of the house.

It’s an expansive space, taking up most of the width of the house. A wall of floor-to-ceiling, north-facing windows creates an even spread of light.

The vendors say there’s no need for heaters in this part of the house, as long as the sun is shining. In summer, automated awnings keep the room cool.

From here, there are views of the rear garden and in-ground swimming pool.

The kitchen takes up one side of this zone and is a vision in white with a grey glass splashback. The attention to detail is impressive, extending as far as drainage grooves in the benchtop beside the undermounted sink and a built-in soap dispenser. There’s a Siemens combination steam oven and an induction cooktop.

Large glass sliding doors open the back of the house to the outdoor entertainment area.

The laundry is at the other end of this open-plan zone and has a wall of built-in cupboards. In fact, the more you see, the more you realise just how much storage is available in this sprawling house.

Upstairs, all of the bedrooms are a good size. The main has a large en suite and walk-in wardrobe, as well as two more cupboards.

The other bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and one has a handy study nook behind double doors. The kids will have their eyes on the carpeted rumpus room.

The family bathroom is big and beautiful, with a freestanding bath, large shower and gloss tiles. Mirrors that span the width of the walls add to the feeling of space, while a skylight keeps it light and bright.

This grand family house is within walking distance of schools and Highton village and close to the ring road. ● SARAH BIESKE property@theweeklyreview.com.au

Families will love the cosmopolitan lifestyle on offer at this weatherboard bungalow in Geelong West. The house is close to schools, public transport and bustling Pakington Street. Its interior has been updated but retains its historical charm, with the original polished floorboards and high ceilings throughout. The bedrooms are at the front; the main has a built-in wardrobe and a door to the bright dual-access bathroom with spa bath. The remaining bedrooms are carpeted and one has a built-in wardrobe. There’s a study that could be a fourth bedroom.

Next up is the open-plan kitchen, with stainless-steel appliances and a stylish black-tiled splashback, and spacious living and dining areas. Ducted heating, split-system heating and cooling, and an electric wall heater will keep the temperature just right year-round. Entertain outside on the sun-soaked, north-facing deck while the kids and pets tear around the private, low-maintenance backyard. ● REBECCA THOMPSON

On offer here is a hassle-free lifestyle in a new, well-appointed, well-located and low-maintenance townhouse.

Residents will enjoy the lush carpets and built-in wardrobes in the bedrooms. The living areas have a floating floor. There are two sleek bathrooms; the roomy en suite to the main bedroom and the family bathroom in the centre of the house. An open-plan kitchen, dining and living area suits a modern lifestyle, with large windows and a glass sliding door allowing in plenty of sunlight. The doors lead to a patio area, ripe for some inspired individual touches. At the front of the house is a spacious garage with a remote-controlled roller door. A door from the garage allows direct access into the house. The big bonus is that this townhouse is in a quiet, house-proud street just a stone’s throw from East Geelong. ● PAUL CHAPPLE

You can picture rowdy summer barbecues out the back of this contemporary family house. An expansive, covered outdoor entertainment area overlooks the solar-heated in-ground swimming pool, providing an attractive set-up for those who love to entertain, no matter the weather. The four-bedroom house is all about relaxed living spaces. Given it’s just two years old, it has all the mod cons a buyer might expect, as well as on-trend finishes. The bedrooms, each with a walk-in wardrobe, are at the front of the house. The main has an en suite with double vanity. The back half of the house is dedicated to spacious, open-plan living, with the sleek kitchen overlooking the dining area. There’s a living area in one back corner and a rumpus room in the other; each living zone opens to the paved outdoor area. Car lovers will be impressed by the double garage with internal access plus another, freestanding garage. Highton village and the ring road are close by. ● SARAH BIESKE

This is a substantial, solid house in a lofty location offering glimpses of Corio Bay. It has been updated and modernised but retains a classic core. The hardwood floors in the living room and bedrooms capture a contemporary feel, as does the stylish grey tiling in the kitchen/dining area and main bathroom. The renovated en suite in the main bedroom includes a double shower. The sleek white kitchen cabinetry offers oodles of cupboard space and the cooks in the household will have no problem with the stainless-steel appliances. Outdoors, the prospects are limited only by imagination. A large undercover area would be ideal for outdoor entertainment or extra vehicle storage – maybe a boat, or two? There’s also a handy garden shed and a double garage. The property is close to primary schools and shopping, and access to the ring road is just moments away. This property would be perfect for the growing family, or for those with a need for that little bit of extra space, inside and out. ● PAUL CHAPPLE

ARMSTRONG CREEK \ 17 SALTBREEZE BOULEVARD A striking woven stone feature wall in the entrance of this impressive house gives the first clue that there might be a few more surprises within.

There’s an emphasis on entertaining and creative design.

A spectacular raked ceiling with highlight windows floods the open-plan living hub with natural light. In the heat of summer, the touch of a button is enough to block out the sun with remote-controlled blinds.

The designer kitchen has a large island bench and servery windows to a covered outdoor entertainment area. The kitchen also has soft-close cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances and a walk-in pantry with built-in coffee machine.

The meals and living areas open to the deck and secure backyard.

The bedrooms are at the back of the house.

The main has a walk-in wardrobe and en suite.

The others have built-in wardrobes and share a central bathroom.

At the front of the house, a second living room offers a place to enjoy some peace and quiet.

There’s internal access to the house from the double garage, as well as a side door to the backyard. The house has central heating, air-conditioning and a security system.

It’s a short drive to the beaches of Torquay and Barwon Heads. ● SARAH BIESKE

A strong opening bid of $120,000 rang out for the three-bedroom house on a block of just more than 640 square metres. A keen three-way contest went to $177,000 before Adam brought the hammer down.
