ever mind the first Tuesday in November; N this week it’s all about the first Saturday in October. The 2015 AFL grand final promises something for everyone: an emotionally charged gladiatorial contest between some of the country’s finest athletes, a new match-eve public holiday, and a pre-game entertainment spectacle headlined by … Bryan Adams?

If you’re wondering which genius thought it a good idea to import a 1980s Canadian chart-topper to herald in this most celebrated Aussie sporting event, you can blame Gillon McLachlan. The AFL chief has fessed up that Summer of ’69 is one of his favourite songs.

Has he learnt nothing from the Meat Loaf debacle of the 2012 grand final? Was there no Aussie singer free this Saturday afternoon?

He could have done a lot worse than look to the nation’s sweetheart, Delta Goodrem – talented, much-loved and a bona fide Aussie star. And as Peter Wilmoth reveals in this week’s cover story, there’s more to her than meets the eye. ●

W

ell, you’re in trouble now.

As if it wasn’t enough that you have to put up with me frequently ranting at you about the need for visionary and coherent policy around place-making, town planning, densification of our cities, infrastructure and mass transit, now an unlikely source of encouragement emerges to suggest that this, above almost all others, is to be the conversation of the 21st century: and that person is none other than the new Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull.

When I heard that the PM was appointing a Minister for Cities and the Built Environment, saying that “liveable cities, efficient productive cities, the environment of cities, are economic assets’’, I fairly whooped with joy. Prime Minister Turnbull said we had to ensure “every level of government works together … to ensure that our cities progress”. Hallelujah.

Now, don’t go mistaking this for partisan support: I don’t care which party finally decides that the Commonwealth has a crucial

part to play in designing, servicing and maintaining our urban environments. I’m just glad that someone outside the policy and practice circles that I move in has recognised the bleeding obvious: that the sustainability and amenity of our built environments are crucial to our economic outcomes. Smart cities are wealthy cities, and citizens who don’t lose a third of their day commuting are more happy, connected and productive people.

Former assistant minister for infrastructure and regional development Jamie Briggs has been given what I regard as the best job in government, and the early response of planners, urban designers, transport policy wonks and others has been positive – at the very least because they now have someone in Cabinet whose job is to care about the stuff they do.

It also means the Commonwealth won’t just concern itself with big roads (that cut through key electorates) but will concern itself with mass transit and the amenity of large cities grappling with the needs for densification.

The portfolio recognises that human capital can be trapped in a poorly designed city or its potential released by an approach that integrates home and work.

No one pretends this area is not enormously complex, but that doesn’t mean designing a cohesive policy is beyond our mental capacity.

At a recent infrastructure conference, I was

“there’s a great number of egos involved in all this’’ intrigued to hear about the large corporation that had just that week unlocked its workforce from headquarters. All staff were given iPads and told the company didn’t care where or when they worked; they all had their KPIs, they knew their work groups and their project managers and it was up to them to deliver.

The infrastructure significance is just how many people this, and the expected many more corporate decisions like it, takes off the road now that the peak-time commute is killed off. What does a decision like this mean for proposed toll roads and expanded mass transit systems if our workforce ends up working smarter and offline?

The role that Infrastructure Australia plays in all this will be crucial. The statutory body is currently compiling a list of audited infrastructure projects crucial to national growth (rather than the electoral success of a particular party) and accepting its recommendations will be a big test of the seriousness of this ministry.

And will pork-barrelling state and local governments of all stripes play ball with the Feds? There’s a great number of egos involved in all of this – and only the future of our magnificent but struggling cities at stake. ● Virginia Trioli is co-host of ABC News Breakfast on ABC1 and ABC News 24, 6-9am weekdays

PETER WILMOTH meets Delta Goodrem

D

ELTA Goodrem breezes into the room wearing a glamorous black dress and black nail polish, bangles jangling, that famous cascading blonde hair framing one of Australia’s most famous faces. Any casual viewer of The Voice knows she’s telegenic, but up close this mega-wattage serves to reinforce the truism that some people are born to be in show business.

I’m at The Voice offices at Fox Studios in Sydney, a little bit of Hollywood in Australia, next to the Sydney Cricket Ground. I’ve walked past the long pathway that contestants nervously enter to perform, and into a boardroom to wait for Delta.

My timing is excellent: it’s the day Delta’s song Wings goes to No. 1 on the charts and The Voice’s ratings hit the stratosphere. Things are good for Australia’s sweetheart. “I’m appreciative of when the stars align,” she says.

It’s been a long journey to this point. From child star at 15 to pop stateswoman now at 30, Delta has never been satisfied with being one thing: she’s a classical pianist, singer, songwriter, performer and actor. No wonder she needs the energy she radiates. “I have a million trains of thought,” she says. “When it came to joining The Voice it was hard to

debuted at No.1 on the Australian charts in March 2003 (it reached No.2 in the UK), selling four million copies worldwide. The album would go on to break Australian records previously held by John Farnham’s Whispering Jack by staying at No. 1 for 25 consecutive weeks. The euphoria was quashed in July 2003 when Delta was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma, a blood cancer.

Australia, in love with the young, blonde pop sensation, rode every bump of Delta’s journey – which included intense chemotherapy and radiation treatment – to her full recovery. She wrote her 2004 album, Mistaken Identity Identity, about that experience and says what she went through made her stronger. “I think that’s one moment in my life when, yeah – absolutely. I think it was another colouring to the story.”

Writing her own songs has always been part of the Delta package. Indeed, she attributes the longevity and success of her career to it.

“You definitely can’t last without writing your own songs,” she says. “You have to create your own moment. It doesn’t get given to you.”

She says songwriting is her lifeblood and ties in with her curiosity about people.

“I love the psychology of human nature; it’s something I love to study and that’s why I’m

the jealous ire of a rival. I ask if there were any echoes of that in her own life – people envious or resentful of her success? “I don’t know. I don’t think about or worry what people’s projections onto me are any more.

I’m older now.”

Did she once? “I’ve only ever wanted to come in and do a great job, do the best I can.

Projections onto me are up to them, their own things to work through. I’m really proud of the person that I am today. My heart, my intention is to only ever bring good things, have fun and live my life to the fullest. I don’t spend time judging other people.”

She relishes her role as a coach on The Voice.

“I love it. I get to be surrounded by music all day. I’ve got the best seat in the house.”

She says her fellow coach, Ricky Martin, could be a template for male charm, but she acknowledges there has been friction with

“I think I’m actually a little bit more wild at heart than I’m probably seen as”

process [it all] to one train of thought and to finish it … I find I jump, I jump, I jump …

I’ve had to learn how to be succinct. It wasn’t something I was natural at when I first joined the show.”

What did come naturally was the warmth she showed towards the acts she observed and mentored. “My honesty is my truth. It doesn’t mean I have to be hard about it. It’s that thing of ‘never mistake kindness for weakness’.

“I feel very strong in the way I approach my kids. They have to be as committed as I am, because I’m giving my heart and soul. I feel that I always end up having a very united team. They have to learn quickly, so I try to give them as much information as they need.”

Delta grew up in Sydney with her brother, Trent, who plays football in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL). It wasn’t a very musical household.

“Very Aussie and my brother’s very sporty,” she says. “I equate finding my own style when I was young to not being influenced by a lot of artists. I didn’t have the exposure to these artists until I got older, when I started to write my own (music).”

Success came early. She was signed to Sony records aged 15, and by 18 she had a main role in Neighbours and had released her first album. The largely self-penned Innocent Eyes 8 THE WEEKLY REVIEW \ SEPTEMBER 30, 2015

a songwriter. I love watching and observing and listening.”

She writes her songs at home. “My home is my happy place. I bought my home for its acoustics. I literally imagined this place. It’s a big room and I don’t put any furniture in it; it’s just a piano, a microphone, and my mum helped me build in some speakers so I could sing.”

I

ask whether she subscribes to the theory that songwriters find it easier to write when they’re not thrilled with life. “I believe my best work has been when I’ve been happiest,” she says. “If I get to a place where I’ve processed what has happened, that’s normally when I write the song. It’s when I’ve just come through it and then I write it just after the cusp, when I feel I’ve dealt with that.

“I feel there are fire moments where my heart is trying to speak out and then there are moments where things are higher and come through you. It’s like trying to catch lightning in a bottle. It’s like sitting in a storm and waiting and looking and going ‘where is the lightning, I’ve got to catch it’.” She smiles.

“It’s hard to catch.”

In 2003 she played the namesake in the film Hating Alison Ashley, about a beautiful girl arriving at a new school and attracting

another coach, British singer Jessie J. Tensions between the two over Jessie’s full-bodied assessments of performers on the show came to a head one night when Delta walked off set.

“I’m an Australian on there,” Delta says, “and these are Aussie artists. I realise we’re making a TV show, but at the same time I don’t care. I come from an artist’s point of view where I sit there going ‘they have to walk off to their families, they have to live with this for the rest of their lives’. I’m not going to let them walk off with a bad experience …

It takes a lot for me to walk off set. In 15 years I’ve never snapped in front of anybody.”

Has she smoothed things out with Jessie?

“I love having her as part of the show. I think she brings an incredible dynamic.”

With The Voice now wrapped up for 2016, Delta is busy rehearsing for her next role, playing Grizabella in the musical Cats, which opens in Melbourne in December. “I’m loving it,” she says.

Delta says she has two cats, but they are not much of an inspiration. “One of them doesn’t move. He just sits there. But they love music.”

After 15 years in the spotlight, I wonder whether we really know the real Delta all that well? “I’m responsible for guarding myself over the years,” she says. “I learnt how to have two lives. I learnt how to live a pubic life and

(PIERRE TOUSSAINT)

BEHIND THE VOICE

Delta’s influences Delta attributes her longevity in the industry to her skill at writing her own songs. So who are her songwriting heroes?

Delta was born 13 years after one of her musical heroes, Carole King, released her monster album Tapestry in 1971.

The album, which won four Grammy Awards and was No. 1 on the American Billboard charts for a record-breaking 15 weeks, is a distillation of King’s songwriting talent with Will You Love Me Tomorrow?, You’ve Got a Friend, It’s Too Late, (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman and Tapestry.

Tapestry Delta hadn’t been born, either, when Fleetwood Mac released its self-titled album in 1975. It featured another of her heroes, Stevie Nicks, whose Rhiannon and Landslide are on that album. “I didn’t have the exposure to these artists until I got older, when I started to write my own (music). I went ‘Oh! This is a spiritual thing that I connected to … Carole King, my heart completely went … Stevie Nicks, I discovered Stevie when I was 22.

After I’d gone through the rough health chapter, I then found Tori Amos. So I went through these different phases. You have to be exposed at the right time to influences in your life.” ● CAROLE KING

then to live with my friends and do my thing.

“I think I’m actually a little bit more wild at heart, I’m actually a little bit more eccentric than I’m probably (seen) as. I just knew how to sit and be a professional in my job. That was all it was. It wasn’t as though I was trying to act as anybody else; it was just that I was being a young professional as a kid.”

Did she ever feel that being a teenage star robbed her of anything? “No. I never feel that.

There are decisions – like anyone has – where I think ‘I could have done that better’. But when it comes to missing out on childhood …

I managed to have a wonderful childhood.

“Music was something I always knew I would do, so it wasn’t a surprise to me. It was a part of my life since I was six or seven.

It was a part of my being. It wasn’t that I said ‘oh, I want to do this’. It was just what I did.”

As I’m leaving, I mention, slightly sheepishly, that someone in my inner circle admires her enormously, especially her famously lush hair. Delta smiles and without further comment grabs my phone and films a greeting to this young person, going into some detail about the man who does her hair and how much work Delta does to ensure it looks this good. She signs off with a dazzling smile and blows a kiss. One young heart back in Melbourne beat a little harder that afternoon.

What Delta did was natural, warm, authentic, refreshingly down to earth, and it just might say more about the type of person she is than anything else. ● pwilmoth@theweeklyreview.com.au » Wings by Delta Goodrem is out now. » Cats plays at Melbourne’s Regent Theatre from December 18.

But the choice is tough.

MEDHURST WINES

THE VIBE \ Picture a sunny spring Sunday afternoon, beautifully green, rolling hills, dogs running around, birds chirping, smiles everywhere. That’s Medhurst.

THE DÉCOR COR \ The cellar door, which doubles as a café, is lovely. High glass windows offer picturesque views of the Yarra Valley.

Y THE CROWD \ Families, couples, tour groups, cyclists, locals, tourists, one and all. A dearth of hipsters was noted.

(EUGENE HYLAND)

Sometimes I feel I can nail a place and plunder its menu, but at others I develop a FOMO (fear of missing out).

This cheerful new Spanish bar at the far end of Thornbury’s High Street offers more than a dozen tapas choices on its weeknight menu; many also come as raciones.

We hover over croquetas and patatas bravas, meatballs (albondigas) and gambas (prawns). But we settle on pimientos del piquillo (peppers) filled with creamed goat’s cheese, marinated lamb skewers and coliflor rebozada (crumbed cauliflower).

When our board arrives, everything looks small, especially the cauliflower, and I think we’ve messed up, but a saffron and manchego butter saves the vegetable dish. There’s only one skewer too; it’s charry and tender and we get a nibble each. The piquillo pepper is delicious and bursts with creamy filling as we cut it, and share.

We’ve opted for the paella next. It’s in big metal pans on tables around us, so we’re confident we’ll eat our fill.

Chato, which according to modern translation means short, small or stubby, is named after the 40-millilitre glasses on its wine menu. For $2.30 to $6.50 you can have a little nip of something that will go with each course. There’s a five-chato-and-five-tapas offering, but our charming Spanish-accented

LS’ NIGHTS BEST FOR \ GIR waiter asks if we are driving and suggests, after our initial cocktails, we’d better skip it.

The paella is a winner – golden and fragrant, with chewy edges and lots of messy shellfish.

I feel a professional duty to try dessert and I’m intrigued by leche frita (fried milk).

Crumbed cubes of creamy, deep-fried golden custard arrive coated with a divine orange and honey syrup and vanilla-bean ice-cream.

I’m not at all worried that I missed out on churros or crema Catalana. ● LEANNE TOLRA ltolra@theweeklyreview.com.au

THE DRINK \ Medhurst obviously makes its own wines, and they are fantastic – in particular the 2012 chardonnay, for which it is well known. “We’re bringing the love for chardonnay back,” owner Robyn says.

THE VERDICT

I loved it. Good luck trying to get in ahead of my future bookings. ●

Cellar Notes VERSUS

C

an you name the world’s largest wine region? It’s Languedoc-Roussillon in southern France and it is also one of the world’s most diverse.

There’s an incredible 2800 square kilometres under vine in this huge region that stretches from the Camargue, where the Rhône River flows into the Mediterranean, along the coast to the Pyrenees and the Spanish border.

The Languedoc is a region where nearly everything grows. More often than not its wines are labelled as Pays d’Oc. With such a large area, there’s a diverse array of micro-climates and soils on which different grapes grow and thrive – from heat-loving, traditional varieties such as marsanne, grenache, shiraz and picpoul de Pinet to popular modern grapes such as sauvignon blanc, chardonnay and merlot.

Many of these little pockets of terroir are recognised appellations, where hundreds of years of experience has taught vignerons the best grapes to grow.

Languedoc is often thought of as a cheap region, especially when compared

FINE FINE

FUN

with France’s holy trinity of regions, Champagne, Bordeaux and Burgundy. It’s a notion that’s a little unfair to many of the vineyards which are more than 100 years old, and to the generations of families – some now fourth and fifth generations – that nurture their vines. ● BEN THOMAS bthomas@theweeklyreview.com.au

Paul Mas makes a wide range of varietal wines all around the region and the 2013 Cote Mas Rouge Intense Sud De France ($11) mixes the old world with the new.

Carignan, grenache, cinsault – classic Languedoc grapes – are blended with small amounts of merlot and syrah.

Perfumed red and black berry fruits have character and style. 89/100

FUN

Its labels have undergone a delightful revamp, but the Parnasse range remains one of the better bargains around. The 2014 Syrah ($14) has savoury black and red cherry, plum and blackberry along with a grip of fine tannins. 90/100

It starts with post-natal anxiety about their weight gain and developmental milestones, and is very quickly superseded by swallowing hazards, fear of broken limbs, NAPLAN failure and soon enough you’re into full-blown they’re-going-to-berun-over-getting-off-the-tram and what-if-theyflunk-out-of-school-and-become-a-nun.

God help me when they start driving cars and going on dates, and then if they survive all of that and I don’t end up insane, we’ll be entering into horrible-partner, job-availability, grandparent territory. I may not get a good night’s sleep again.

At the moment, apart from when I’m out on the town in high heels feasting, which is not often enough, my daily worry quota is usually used up with minor friendship and homework crises, cartwheel injuries and trying to keep track of the younger ones’ sugar intake. All low on the parental-worry scale, a fact for which I am extremely thankful.

What were we thinking, they said, we so didn’t know how many things could have gone wrong.

But, of course, it all went smoothly, plus they had the golden babysitter’s-mum-is-next-door leave-ticket. Their firstborn is now nearing the end of high school, relatively unscarred, and most likely about to present a whole different bundle of worries for his folks, VCE being one of them.

Because having kids is a life sentence. Once they arrive you are destined to spend at least half your day worrying about them and what might possibly go wrong at any minute.

SHERIDAN HARBRIDGE

(LOUIS DILLON SAVAGE)

ou might not know the name Marie Duplessis, but chances are you’ve heard her story. The 19th-century French courtesan has left an incredible imprint on popular culture, despite dying at 23. But whether you know her as The Lady of the Camelias, Camille or Nicole Kidman in Moulin Rouge!, you’ll find a few surprises in Sheridan Harbridge’s Songs for the Fallen. Arriving in Melbourne after an acclaimed season in New York, the mash-up of cabaret, pop songs and musical theatre whisks audiences off to Marie’s final shindig – the mad party to end all mad parties.

Sheridan says she was drawn to Marie’s story when she realised everyone else had been telling the tale wrongly.

“Her real story was just so much more fantastic and awful and remarkable than I felt all the books and incarnations about her had been. Part of me was frustrated that it had just become about her life with men, when really she was the most extraordinary, tenacious, driven woman who changed her station, her class and her

life in six whirlwind years. It blew me away.”

How does a writer and performer go about bringing such a charismatic woman back to life? “With a lot of balls,” Sheridan says. “I took all the parts of myself that were in line with her and put them on steroids, basically.”

Sheridan says she was keen to draw parallels with the way society treats contemporary party girls such as Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton.

“There’s that sneer of going: they must be unhappy to live so wildly and without consequence. It’s that really human thing of hating what you want to be.”

Songs for the Fallen does its best to plonk the audience in the middle of this party-girl world.

Mixing an 1847 setting with 2015 references, the show features dancing, power ballads and pillow fights, while Marie moves out through the crowd to “harass and seduce anyone and anything she can”.

“The best thing about the show is how hot, sweaty and fun it is,” Sheridan says. “We set out to make a raucous party and we’ve delivered.” ● mbartlett@theweeklyreview.com.au » Songs for the Fallen, Arts Centre Melbourne, September 29-October 3, $30-$49. artscentremelbourne.com.au ONLINE \ Watch the trailer

MACBETH Snowtown director Justin Kurzel’s take on Shakespeare’s most devilish tragedy is FILM a bloody and beautiful beast. A patina of gritty realism brings the supernatural elements down into the mud, with Kurzel cleverly reworking some of the more far-fetched elements. Most successful is an added thread that establishes Macbeth (Michael Fassbender) and his missus (Marion Cotillard) as grieving parents, giving the pair new motivation for their misdeeds. Cotillard is sublime, subverting lazy cliches about Lady M, while Melbourne girl Elizabeth Debicki has a small, if heartbreaking, role.

Mental As … \ ABC1, October 4-11 www.abc.net.au/mentalas/

ABC’s season of mental health programming was a great success last year, rating superbly and, more importantly, raising $1.5 million for mental health research.

The centrepiece to this year’s program is, once again, Changing Minds: The Inside Story Story. The second run of this doco series, which follows patients on their journey with mental illness, has more of a focus on young people – who tend to be most at risk from mental health issues. It’s raw, moving and important stuff. ● The Singing Bones by Shaun Tan (Allen and Unwin) READ www.allenandunwin.com When it comes to fairy tales, familiarity breeds cosiness. These little horror stories tend to get polished into bright cartoons, where nothing sinister ever happens and even the Big Bad Wolf escapes unscathed.

Oscar-winning Australian author and artist Shaun Tan brings back some of the darkness with this gorgeous, full-colour volume of twisted sculptures, inspired by the Brothers Grimm. The book is less an anthology and more an exhibition, its figurines looking like relics exhumed from a childhood nightmare. ●

Lana Del Rey \ Honeymoon (Warner) lanadelrey.com

Lana Del Rey has enjoyed her fair share of controversy – not for the dark, sleazy world of her lyrics, but because people can’t tell if she means it or not. Is she a pop tart poseur or provocateur? Her third album tilts towards the latter. It’s a subdued, surprisingly complex and utterly cinematic affair, more David Lynch than Miley Cyrus. Bowie references offer clues to Lana’s inspiration. As with Ziggy et al, her jaded glamour-girl persona is pure performance, but that doesn’t matter with music this good. ● HEAR \ Hear Honeymoon sampler

After visiting some standing stones, she finds herself catapulted back to the 18th century, where she shacks up with Jamie, a too-sexy-for-his-kilt Highland rebel.

The reality I was expecting an assembly-line style – in, sample, out – format, but Amaroo Tours offers anything but.

f you’re thinking of downsizing your car, you’re hardly alone. Lots of people are finding that small cars have everything they need these days. They’re much better than they used to be, and are attracting plenty of singles and empty nesters. First-car buyers have always been a big market for small cars.

If you can’t remember the last time there were people in your back seat or when your boot was anything more than half full, maybe it’s time you saved on purchase price and running costs, and started doing something a bit kinder for the environment. Hey, you’ll even find it’s easier to park.

Consider the Mazda2, Mazda’s smallest offering. It’s beautifully made and finished and available from cheap and cheerful to (almost) all bells and whistles, including navigation, head-up display, cruise control and sexy red accents on the dash and upholstery. The rear seat is inarguably tight and the cargo area may look pretty full with just a week’s worth of groceries, but if you need extra space you can always fold the back seats down.

If you haven’t been scared off yet, consider the bonus. With a 79-kilowatt, 1.5-litre motor

and six-speed auto, it’s brilliantly economical.

I used seven litres per 100 kilometres in the city, 5.5 in the country. It’s possible that if you’re coming from a big car, 79 kilowatts will seem low but consider that this car weighs 1027 kilograms, or about 60 per cent of a Holden or Falcon. It’s peppy and fun.

There’s a catch of course. On the open road at open-road speed, the 2 behaves like

BMW 1 SERIES

most small cars. It’s noisier than larger cars, especially on coarse surfaces, and its ride quality is on the sharpish side. On a long country trip this makes it a little more tiring than a bigger thing, but it’s still entirely competent at the job.

It’s a car that grows on you; the more you drive it, the more you appreciate how clever it is. And its price (it starts at $17,490 for a base model with six-speed manual transmission and goes to $24,380 for a six-speed automatic with the works) is excellent value. It’s the best small car on the market, followed

closely by Hyundai’s i20 ($18,608). There are smaller alternatives, such as Nissan’s Micra, Mitsubishi’s Mirage and the Fiat 500, and these are mostly lighter and more economical than the Mazda2, and noticeably cheaper.

But the difficult areas of small cars – ride quality, noise and highway cruising – are more pronounced down here. My choice among these offerings is Suzuki’s Celerio and it appealed to me because it was about the only car among these offerings that is fun to drive. And the value – it costs just $12,990 – is unarguable. The Suzuki 500 (a bit expensive

at $16,000) is also popular because it’s such a strong statement of individuality.

Most people shopping around this price go for something second hand and while there are some good picks, there’s a solid reason for buying a car that’s smaller and new. Safety technology has improved dramatically in the past five years and anything older is hard-pressed to match something new.

The Celerio is also a great choice as a first car for a new licence holder as being a bit more demanding, it teaches much more about the art of driving than something bigger

and easier to cruise around in. It has a good complement of safety gear, a willing and efficient little three-cylinder, one-litre engine, and it comes in the choice of five-speed manual or a continuously variable auto.

In the auto (which costs $1000 more), I used 7.2 litres per 100 kilometres in the city, 4.8 in the country. The official combined figure is 4.8.

I’m also fond of Mitsubishi’s Mirage – although it looks a bit funny – but my second choice down here would be Nissan’s Micra at $15,775. It looks a bit funny, too, but makes terrific use of its space.

There are ground-up luxury offerings in small cars too – such as BMW’s 1 Series, Audi’s A1 and the Mercedes A-Class. The problem is that by the time you’ve optioned up to all the equipment normally expected in a luxury car, you’re looking at $60,000 and for that you could have a new Mazda3 with all the equipment and $15,000 left over for Mars bars.

Among these offerings, my choice is the BMW because it reflects the sort of quality and build integrity of the brand far better than the Mercedes or the Audi, which can both feel a bit like poor relations if you’re used to the larger models that wear the same brand. ● reasdown@theweeklyreview.com.au

elcome to Crewe, a striking, luxury residence with the same name as the birthplace of arguably the world’s finest luxury cars – Bentley and Rolls-Royce.

Like the cars manufactured at Crewe, this statuesque three-storey house was designed to make a statement.

It crowns the highest point of the south-western edge of Eaglemont, commanding uninterrupted views of the Austin Hospital precinct with the Kinglake and Yarra Ranges in the distance.

Finished just six years ago, this house is on the market for the first time.

With “Crewe” emblazoned across grand wrought-iron gates, the driveway leads up to – you guessed it – an enormous six-car garage.

Needless to say, this house was built by a die-hard motor enthusiast with a stellar collection of vintage cars and a very apparent appreciation for the finer things in life.

More showroom than suburban garage, this 143-square-metre space has a slick finish, with chequerboard floors and more than enough space for a workshop. It is set up as the ultimate man cave, with a bar and lounge area.

Nor is there any need to worry about parking when guests come over, thanks to the off-street space in the forecourt.

Visitors will be instantly impressed with the elegant grey slate stairs and water feature that lead up and around the side of the house to the house’s grand main entrance.

Exquisite parquetry with an eight-point star design provides a fitting introduction to a house that is head and shoulders above the standard five-star fare.

This single, vast open space comprises a range of living and entertainment zones crowned by extra-high ceilings.

The main sitting area impresses with an extra-wide, floor-to-ceiling, double-glazed window. This is the ideal spot to snuggle up on the couch and take in the views. Rich jarrah floorboards fill the space. The back section includes a dining area large enough for a 10-seat table, and a stylish, good-sized kitchen.

Combining practicality with contemporary flair, the kitchen has wraparound stainless-steel benches and a breakfast bar, high-gloss white cabinets and a 900-millimetre oven. Glass sliding doors lead out to the deep back deck and lagoon-style pool. An almost life-sized female statue is both a water feature and visual centrepiece in this flat backyard.

Given the 695-square-metre block’s elevation, the yard is completely private. It includes tank-fed gardens, manicured lawns and soaring gums.

Back inside, dramatic, industrial-style stainless-steel stairs snake up and around a double-storey void to a laid-back rumpus area. This quiet, more homely space is flanked by two accommodation zones – one exclusively for parents, the other for kids or guests.

It would not be a stretch to liken the north-facing main bedroom to a penthouse suite. It is spacious, beautifully finished and commands the best views in the house. It also opens to a large and luxurious en suite with corner spa.

The remaining three bedrooms have large, wall-length wardrobes and share a big, central bathroom. ● LIAM CARTER property@theweeklyreview.com.au

Buckingham & Company \ 9439 4022 Price \ $560,000 + Auction \ October 10 at 12.30pm Set in the bowl of its court, this house is quite the slice of paradise for children of all ages. One of its great assets is, surprisingly, its sloping block; terraced fore and aft, it has front and rear decks, a basketball slab, off-street parking and lots of lush greenery. Out the back is a weatherboard cottage that, with its bar and den, makes an excellent party venue. Smartly renovated by the vendors, the brick house has an elevated ground floor with living, dining and family areas neatly separating the kids’ bedrooms from the main suite. The family and dining rooms have polished floorboards and the carpeted living room has a fireplace. The white laminate kitchen has a Bosch cooktop and oven and Smeg dishwasher. From the meals area, follow the path around to the rear two-level deck. All three bedrooms have built-in wardrobes; the main also has a balcony and an en suite with shower (but no toilet). The house’s best-kept secrets are downstairs – a big rumpus room, office, store room and a spa awaiting restoration. ● ALISON BARCLAY

Darren Jones \ 9432 2544 Price \ $680,000 + Expressions of interest \ Close October 5 at 7pm A manicured garden bursting with colour introduces this charming four-bedroom house tucked away at the bottom of a quiet cul-de-sac. Despite its seemingly secluded locale, this property is only moments from the ring road, central Greensborough and high-performing primary schools. Like many of the houses in this area, this house was built in the mid-to-late 1970s. However, it is timeless.

It has a rendered façade with country-style stone trim, and the classic aesthetic continues inside. A timber kitchen with charming leadlight cabinetry serves an elegant north-facing dining room. The nearby lounge has a Victorian-style fireplace and lavish drapes on full-height windows. The light-filled family room opens to a large deck surrounded by more beautiful gardens. The adults can relax here while keeping an eye on the kids. The floor plan includes a two-storey section with main bedroom, en suite and balcony up top. ● LIAM CARTER

DIAMOND CREEK \ 7 COCKAT KA IELL PLA KAT PLACE This is a classic Diamond Creek setting that enjoys an impressive valley view and a quiet cul-de-sac location. A deceptive single-storey façade does little to give away the expansive double-storey floor plan that caters for large family living, impressive entertaining and an altogether tranquil existence.

The zoned floor plan makes this house a family affair. Quality fittings and finishes are sure to impress. A warm, neutral palette, elegant soft furnishings, walk-in wardrobes to every bedroom, abundant storage, ceiling fans and high ceilings with doors to match create a luxurious and spacious interior.

The main bedroom with en suite is zoned with a study on the ground floor, while three bedrooms share two bathrooms on the lower-ground floor. A guest bedroom downstairs also gets a bathroom.

Two downstairs living zones cater for formal and informal living. The rear open-plan area is the highlight, with walls of glass that showcase the valley view. Entertaining is a focus on both levels. The granite kitchen with a Smeg cooker serves the informal meals area, the formal dining space and outdoor meals on the balcony.

Downstairs is the perfect kids’ zone. A large rumpus opens to its own covered setting, which steps down to the poolside gazebo and deck.

Getting any of the kids to leave home will be the only challenge. ● EMMA HOUGHTON

ELTHAM \ 3 EUCALYPTUS ROAD Mud-brick house enthusiasts on the inspection trail will not be disappointed with this offering that oozes warmth and character. This family house was built more than 30 years ago with an excellent floor plan and light-filled spaces that exploit the spectacular surrounds.

On a sloped block of about 4000 square metres, the elevated single-storey house looks over the solar-heated pool in the front yard. The expansive house combines several elements in true Eltham style.

Soaring timber-lined ceilings with exposed beams, exposed red brick, slate floors, painted timber-panelled walls and, of course, the distinctive mud brick create an idiosyncratic home where multipaned windows keep the outdoors always within sight.

The floor plan is both family-friendly and versatile. The main bedroom at the western end of the house has a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite with clawfoot bath. The central living zone is anchored by a two-way open fireplace and the timber kitchen has been updated with a La Germania cooker. The east wing with three bedrooms, a bathroom and a large rumpus with wood heater is perfect for the kids.

Leadlight windows are a highlight throughout. The original panels are thought to have come from a Bendigo shopfront, and as an ancient and decorative element they really make these interiors shine. ● EMMA HOUGHTON
