ust over six years ago, former JCatalano journo-turned-media executive Antony hit upon an idea. When the global

media industry was wringing its hands over the apparently dire future of print publishing, he took a punt and launched a quality glossy home-delivered magazine, celebrating the best of living in Melbourne and showcasing the city’s most desirable properties.

The idea proved to be inspired. Today, The Weekly Review is a thriving multi-media operation with nine editions delivered to 600,000 homes across Melbourne and Geelong each week, a popular website, and fast-growing social-media channels.

In this week’s special Success Edition, we celebrate local success stories like our own.

We’re also proud to launch the TWR Startup Stars Award, in search of Melbourne’s most brilliant startup. To be in the running for the award, worth more than $10,000, go to our website and let us know your own brilliant business idea. ●

DISRUPTIVE

INFLUENCE LISA MESSENGER HAS BUILT AN EMPIRE BY UPSETTING THE STATUS QUO

L

isa Messenger admits that not only has she plunged several times headlong into a new business without knowing much about it – she revels in doing it.

Take her “entrepreneurial and lifestyle” magazine, Collective Hub, launched in 2013 into a challenged publishing environment. Lisa knew little about magazines and had never worked for one.

“I had no idea what I was doing,” she says. “I had three staff under the age of 25 and I was going into a market that people said was dead or dying. So it was an interesting time.”

It was likewise with her website, collectivehub.com, which features eight to 12 new stories each day. “I had no idea about online or digital,” she says. “I learnt the mechanics and put a team in place.”

Lisa’s instincts proved to be excellent. The idea of launching businesses without multi-page business plans encapsulates her notion of what she calls “failing fast” – just jumping in and doing it.

Lisa, 45, now oversees a media empire that includes the magazine (now sold in 37 countries), website, books, events and even homewares. She oversees every arm of the business, describing herself as the “brand architect”. She has written (or co-written) 16 books, one of which – Daring and Disruptive – will be released in the US in September through the major publishing house Simon and Schuster.

We meet at The Weekly Review on a day when Lisa is down from Sydney with a diary packed with Melbourne engagements. She is a media darling who is invited to hang out with Sir Richard Branson on his private Caribbean island and, more recently, spent five days on Branson’s Makepeace Island near Noosa.

The day before our interview, she says, John Cleese rang her. One another occasion American Vogue’s legendary editor Anna Wintour’s office rang asking if she could meet Anna

when she was in New York. “People asked me what I was going to wear. I said, ‘I don’t care what I’m going to wear, I’m worried about what’s going to come out of my brain!’.”

Lisa started out in marketing and public relations before launching The Messenger Group, an independent custom book publishing operation, in 2001. But it’s with Collective Hub, a publishing operation she calls “a global community of entrepreneurial and creative minds who have an appetite for changing the status quo”, that she has made her mark.

Under its banner she runs 18 business arms including a multi-media business comprising the monthly print

turn an ending into a beginning into a beginning. Geared towards the positive but not afraid to confront the negative, it says a lot about Lisa’s outlook on the world and goes a long way to explaining her crash-or-crash-through multi-platform success.

She reflects on that time. Her previous book Life & Love had just gone to number one on Booktopia, the magazine was doing really well, “things were starting to move, then this break-up came out of the blue and dropped me to my knees.

I couldn’t brush it under the carpet. It’s really inauthentic if I didn’t say, ‘Actually, I went through tough stuff too’.”

She says writing about the break-up was “kind of hideous

“It’s about being an entrepreneur, living my life out loud, showing that anything’s possible” magazine, online news site, an event company, a custom publishing unit, an online store offering products such as candles, towels and diaries as well as links to Lisa’s speaking engagements and conferences or festivals.

Lisa likes to go out of her way to do things differently, such as arriving at business meetings without supporting material because it makes connecting on a human level easier.

Her philosophies on life and business are neatly encapsulated in her latest book – her 16th – in which she writes of a devastating break-up. “I thought my next book might be entitled Marriage and Motherhood but life had other plans … Clearly the universe didn’t get the memo.”

The book outlines the break-up with “the man of my absolute dreams” who walked out “six days after we had just moved into our dream apartment together”. The book’s title needed to change, and it did, to Break-ups and Breakthroughs:

and kind of extraordinarily cathartic”.

“I made a decision when I launched Collective Hub that I would live my life out loud. I’m strong enough and very confident in myself that whatever comes at me I will talk about and try and empower other people on that journey.”

Central to her philosophy is non-conformism, doing things differently, testing an idea without fear of its failure.

“I’m purposefully counter-intuitive,” she says. “I look at how something’s been done and I purposefully flip it.”

She is a personification of another company’s brand motto – just do it. And do it fast. She has vowed to live her life “daringly and ferociously”.

“For me it’s about being an entrepreneur, living my life out loud, showing that anything’s possible. And that will not change until the day I die.” ● pwilmoth@theweeklyreview.com.au

the secrets of her success WHEN DID YOU FIRST REALISE YOU WERE SUCCESSFUL? When things started flowing in a fairly natural form that started to mean success.

I began my first business on October 22, 2001, at 31. I had 11 years of really nothing, churning along in business, over-servicing, under-charging, being everything to everyone, comfortable but not excited every day – 11 years of that slog. And finally I got to a point where a light bulb dropped and I thought, ‘This is what I want to do’.

SECRETS OF SUCCESS? You need to know what your weaknesses are. I am terrible at detail so I surround

6 THE WEEKLY REVIEW \ AUGUST 24, 2016

myself with an amazing team. But I also know what I’m good at: being a visionary and pulling together teams and looking at things differently. Don’t expect that you can do it all; surround yourself with amazing people.

HAS YOUR IDEA OF SUCCESS CHANGED? Before Collective I used to buy a lot of stuff.

When you’re not completely fulfilled in your life – this was true for me – you go out and buy clothes or shoes or whatever and it’s instant gratification. The funny thing is now, every single day as an editor, I get sent probably 10 to 20 free things – clothes, shoes, all the stuff I used to buy – and now I pretty much give it all away to my team. I

don’t need stuff any more. I used to think I was going to work to be successful to buy more stuff, and now as I’m getting a level of success I actually don’t want stuff. I’m living more and more simply now that I’m more fulfilled in my work.

HAS SUCCESS CHANGED YOU? I hope not. I don’t feel any different. I feel this is the start of a very big vision and I don’t want to get complacent or egotistical. It’s not why I started. The moment we forget why we started something, then it can all fall apart.

TOP TIP? Have an unwavering self-belief. You might

knock on 80 doors and all but one will get slammed in your face. You’ve got to have that tenacity to keep going. Have a really clear vision and understand your “why”: why are you doing this? That’s the one question I ask myself every day. And hustle. You’ve got to get out there and work your butt off.

HOW DO YOU MEASURE SUCCESS IN OTHER PEOPLE? My biggest measure of success is seeing others use their talents and step into their own purpose. Once they do that, I view them as successful because they’re living their best life and following their passion. That is true success in my eyes. ●

Since he famously skippered the wing-keeled Australia II to victory in the 1983 America’s Cup, breaking 132 years of American dominance, John Bertrand has become one of the country’s most admired leaders. In business he has built companies in the marine industry, property development and digital media. He is chairman and president of Swimming Australia, chairman of Sport Australia Hall of Fame and chairman of the Alannah and Madeline Foundation.

(SCOTT McNAUGHTON)

JOHN BERTRAND

WHEN DID YOU FIRST REALISE YOU WERE SUCCESSFUL? I’m still trying to prove it – but clearly the America’s Cup. No one had achieved that before. The America’s Cup started before the US Civil War, to put it in context, and no other nation had been able to win it until we put a program together to beat the Americans.

SECRETS FOR SUCCESS? You’ve got to have passion. Without passion it’s very difficult to achieve. And dedication and hard work. But invariably success comes from people, from a team environment. Yachting and swimming are very much team environments. I’m very much into team building.

(LISA’S MAKE-UP \ CATERINA PULEIO)

HAS SUCCESS CHANGED YOU? It has given me a sense of great contentment. With the America’s Cup I, had nothing more to prove in the world of sailing.

Contentment is a wonderful thing for someone who’s so driven, like myself. The big challenge for someone who’s achieved something on the global stage and climbed their own Everest is to find the next passion in one’s life, because to go back and keep duplicating it is a little sad in many ways.

HOW DO YOU MEASURE SUCCESS IN OTHERS? By what someone has achieved in their field, and what sort of balance they have. There’s the opportunity to give back.

The higher a person achieves, the more opportunity there is to give back, and I see that as a responsibility.

TOP TIP? Success requires good people around you. It requires people support, mentoring, expertise. Very rarely is it a one-man or one-woman show. ● NEXT PAGE \ HAROLD MITCHELL & CAROLYN CRESWELL’S SECRETS

AUGUST 24, 2016 \ THE WEEKLY REVIEW 7

FROM PREVIOUS PA PAG AGE

CAROLYN CRESWELL

secrets of my “THE WEALTHIEST PEOPLE I’VE MET HAVE BEEN SOME OF THE MOST UNHAPPY�

As an 18-year-old first-year university student in 1992, Carolyn Creswell bought a small muesli business, where she worked part-time, for $1000 and launched Carman’s Fine Foods. Her products are now sold in 2500 outlets around Australia and in 32 countries. She sits on the board of the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation. In 2012 Carolyn was named Telstra Business Woman of the Year. In 2015, BRW magazine’s Rich Women list estimated her wealth at $57 million.

that has just won Woolworths’ Supplier of the Year. People say, ‘You’re exactly the same as you always were’. Money does not make you happy. To me it’s always about being so proud of Carman’s. Money doesn’t buy anything [important] like having a strong marriage, having a great family and good friends. The wealthiest people I’ve met have been some of the most unhappy, or perhaps have their priorities a little bit skew-whiff.

WHEN DID YOU FIRST REALISE YOU WERE SUCCESSFUL? I was at the airport in 2004 and went over to put something in the rubbish bin and saw three separate Carman’s wrappers in the bin and it was one of those moments of, ‘Oh my god’. I remember getting my phone out and photographing the bin. These are real people in the real world who have bought Carman’s. It was this overwhelming moment.

HOW DO YOU MEASURE SUCCESS IN OTHER PEOPLE? As [American poet and civil rights activist] Maya Angelou said: “Success is liking yourself, liking what you do and liking how you do it�. It’s not about the title on the business card, it’s about having your priorities right – I’m a good person, I’m doing something that’s making a difference.

(SUPPLIED)

SECRETS OF SUCCESS? It’s working out the small tweaks you need to make to ensure you are better tomorrow than you were yesterday.

It’s constant evolution – how could I change that, can I systemise that – all the time. I have a sign on my desk: “Inch towards a better tomorrow.� It’s the little ones that make such a difference.

HAS SUCCESS CHANGED YOU? I still think I’m absolutely the same person. I can’t believe I’ve gone from the checkout at Coles to having a business

BEYOND THE BEACHES DISCOVER THE JEWELS OF CUBA, COLOMBIA AND PANAMA Departing October 2017

TIPS FOR SUCCESS? Do what you love doing. It’s about doing something because you’re going to make a difference. Having a sense of purpose. Every January I think, ‘OK, what are the things I want to do with my life?’ It could be tiny things. And then I laminate them and put them in my shower and remind myself every day.

8 THE WEEKLY REVIEW \ AUGUST 24, 2016

One of Australia’s wealthiest and most highly regarded businessmen, Harold Mitchell turned the small media buying business he founded in 1976 with just $2000 into a national advertising powerhouse, Mitchell & Partners. In 2010 he sold the company to London-based Aegis for $363 million. A passionate patron of the arts, he has been chairman of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and the National Gallery, and has sat on the board of the New York Philharmonic. He is also a former vice-president of Tennis Australia and one-time owner of the Melbourne Rebels rugby union team.

WHEN DID YOU FIRST REALISE YOU WERE SUCCESSFUL? In the early years success was getting through to the next day. I sometimes didn’t have enough money to get through the whole week. Completing a week was a success.

abuse that sort of power you don’t have it any more. Sadly it’s also made me a little wary because people tend to look to take an advantage where they can. I try to put that into the background. People ask, ‘How and why are you successful?’. The only thing that has ever driven me – and I suspect anybody like me – is a fear of failure.

HOW DO YOU MEASURE SUCCESS IN OTHER PEOPLE? More often than not success is measured by the usual values of money. I never have. In the middle years of our business I can remember twice a year I would have a Chinese dinner in Melbourne with a man who had the greatest grasp of people that I couldn’t quite get. He was a sergeant in the police force and he saw real people up close. I was fascinated by the stories he told of real people. He was fascinated with the stories I had about rich people and we had the best hour and a half you’ve ever had. I thought he was as successful as you could ever get.

SECRETS OF SUCCESS? You will never be successful at achieving something unless you decide what it is. I always say to people, ‘Let us decide which mountain we’re trying to climb. Let’s isolate it down to one mountain rather than trying to climb five little ones’.

TIPS FOR SUCCESS? Every Saturday morning I’d drive from St Andrews into the city and make up the accounts for the week or month. That started a pattern. I sat down with a pencil and paper and had a review, for about an hour, of how it was going. Then for the next hour I would think about the future. I made a plan and everyone around me knew what that was. ●

HAS SUCCESS CHANGED YOU? In two ways. First it has given me a greater power to get things done. People respect someone who’s achieved something. You have to be careful of that because if you

YOUNG GUNS SMART, DRIVEN & TAKING ON THE WORLD … ALL BEFORE THEY’RE 40. MEET MELBOURNE’S YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS EFFIE KATS,, 26 \ ZACHARY

Who \ Fashion designer and founder of womenswear label Zachary, Effie Kats’ designs have been worn by celebrities from the Kardashians to Kate Hudson, generating annual turnover of around $3 million.

How \ “When I started Zachary [in 2013] I’d dropped out of uni courses in photography and public relations. I had a wedding coming up and couldn’t find a dress that was classic, good quality and affordable.

“So I went to my father, a tailor, and said I thought there was a gap in the market. I designed five dresses and began selling them through my Instagram account, and I had one rack of clothes in Dad’s factory in Coburg.

“A turning point came in 2014 when I saw the Sydney fashion blogger, Antoinette Marie. I showed her my designs and she said she’d wear one of our dresses to her birthday, but months passed. Then, on New Year’s Eve, she wore a Zachary dress and I had 3000 followers overnight. Then the Kardashians requested pieces and, when Kendall Jenner wore one of our crop tops, things went insane.

“I’ve opened a store in Chapel Street and our head office has moved out of Dad’s place. We have 22 employees now and I’m looking at opening a store interstate and international opportunities.”

The challenges \ “I had no fashion background – just a belief in my vision. I had to teach myself the business.”

The reward \ “My first cheeky purchase late last year was a black Louis Vuitton bag with my initials engraved into it.

It’s my first designer handbag and the love of my life!”

Top tip \ “Follow your instincts and your passion.” ● TIM GURNER, 34 \ GURNER TM

Who \ Founder of Gurner TM, a luxury property business with more than $2.5 billion in projects under development.

How \ “I studied commerce, got fed up and started my first business, a gym, when I was 19. It was my biggest risk to date – I borrowed $150,000 – and I sold it after two-and-a-half years because I wanted to get into property.

“I met Morry Schwartz who owns Pan Urban and that was my first step into development. Within six months he gave me 30 per cent of the business and we worked together for three or four years. I learnt a lot. After the GFC, I started Urban Inc and I began to notice that buyers were very interested in the intricacies of design and quality. So fourand-a-half-years ago I started Gurner to focus on iconic locations. I’m still on top of every detail of each project and I still follow my gut – if it doesn’t feel right, I don’t do it.”

The challenges \ “Every project teaches us something. There have been projects where we didn’t make much money, but I enjoyed the problem solving.”

The reward \ “Last year we bought a farm at Flinders. I have two girls and bought the farm so they can turn off the TV and run around.”

Top tip \ “Be obsessed about what you do.” ● wo r d s \ s a r a h m a r i n o s pi c t u r e \ S cot t M c N au g h to n

STUART STOYAN, 38 \ MONEYPLACE

FROM PREVIOUS PAG PA E

Who \ Co-founder of Brosa, an online designer furniture store with an annual turnover of $10 million.

How \ “When I came to Melbourne 13 years ago I did a media and communications degree at the University of Melbourne and thought I’d end up in PR. But I graduated during the GFC and my first job was telephone sales in a computer equipment company. I helped other friends grow their businesses and launched my first business when I was 24 – an online custom-tailored clothing business.

“When I bought my home in Melbourne, mum told me I wasn’t allowed to go to IKEA. I didn’t want to spend $15,000 on a couch but there weren’t a lot of options. So Brosa began.

“I come from a digital marketing and e-commerce background and my co-founder, Richard, had worked with furniture makers and distributors in America, Europe and Asia Pacific. Our other founder, David, worked on the operational side.

“We worked on the business

for six months and launched in February 2014. We call ourselves a perfectly integrated e-commerce retailer. We control the supply chain and launch two or three new collections every week.

We have close to 45 staff now and took on $2 million of venture capital last year. We were ready to accelerate growth. Last quarter we grew 500 per cent year-on-year and we have been approached by potential partners internationally.”

The challenges \ “In the early stages you have to move quickly but you realise you need to build strong processes, invest, train people and scale the business rather than getting stuff done frantically.”

The reward \ “We are not swimming in cash but we spend money and time on family and friends. Earlier this year we went to Hong Kong to see mum’s side of the family – my aunts and uncles were together for the first time in 20 years.”

Top tip \ “A business idea can take off quickly and you suddenly have customers, emails, phone calls … If this takes off are you ready to give it your all?” ●

IVAN LIM, 30 \ BROSA

How \ “I studied commerce at Monash University and was a management consultant for 11 years, before joining NAB Business as head of strategy for three years.

“I left to set up MoneyPlace. It took 2½ years and we launched in February. We provide personal loans of $5000 to $35,000 that are funded by investors.

People get loans at lower rates and investors get a return that is higher than they can usually get. Debt consolidation is our biggest driver of loans.

“The first step was having a bit of gusto to go out and back myself. Then it was about testing the business plan and concept. A key step has been the partnership with Auswide, a regional bank in Queensland. And we’re focusing on the borrower experience – it’s an eight to 10-minute application.

“We’re ready for a rapid growth phase and to turn on partnerships with a number of organisations. Over the next 12 months we’ll be announcing partnerships to meet the needs of more borrowers.

by James Halliday for the wines she made in her first year at the winery, 2014. She says “dirt and people” are the key to a winery’s success: “It’s a combination of vineyard site and people – their commitment and passion.”

Sarah has reduced the amount of new oak in Yarra Yering’s wines, with immediate effect. “You can see greater details in the wines, you can see the expression and where the wines come from – the terroir.” ● BEN THOMAS bthomas@theweeklyreview.com.au

THE SCORE

● 100-95 OUTSTANDING ● 94-92 MUST BUY ● 91-90 MUST TRY

Seville Estate Shiraz 2013 (Yarra Valley) $36; 13.5%

This is a blend of 70 per cent cabernet, 15 per cent merlot, 10 per cent malbec and 5 per cent petit verdot. With dark berries, cassis and spice, its perfume is layered and complex. It’s the same in the mouth, with amazing fine-boned tannins, structure and vibrancy. Its concentration is amazing. For all that, it’s seamless and has high drinkability. ●

There’s one problem with Oakridge’s single vineyard series wines and that is they’re all good. Choosing a favourite is a little like choosing a favourite child.

There’s delightful perfumed dark-berry aromas, plus a little forest floor, spice and stalk. Seductively silky, there’s a great flow through the mouth, with energetic acidity and fine tannins. ●

I’m a sucker for this style of shiraz. It’s also a grape that’s a dark horse in the Yarra Valley. With dark cherries, raspberry, cedar and blackberry aromas and flavours, there’s a perfume that starts on the nose and carries through to the finish. It’s concentrated, but not intense, and a bright line of acid gives it elegance. The fine tannins offer a glossy grip. ●

n a town where food trends and players come and go, where punters queue for gelato and play dumpling roulette, where we obsess over the latest in places and forget about others, a few restaurants have truly stood the test of time. These are the blue-chip shares of dining, where you know you’ll leave satisfied. They are restaurants that have reached cult status through sheer hard work and dedication to hospitality, achieving an inexplicable je ne sais quoi. It’s the constitution of the place, it’s the vibe, it’s (in the case of Flower Drum at least) the Mapo. ● aliceinframes@theweeklyreview.com.au

FLOWER DRUM \ Since 1975

When we talk about “party atmosphere”, the bar at Di Stasio is where it’s at. Career waiters swan around in white jackets and black bow ties, eager to pour another drink or share another joke. At the helm are Ronnie Di Stasio and Mallory Wall, who’ve been flitting about this fun zone for almost 30 years. Their secret? A sense of freedom and conviviality that can only be described as #Italianality. The “No Foto” policy ensures privacy for late-night trysts and trust-fund babies. Beloved by fab food critics Dani Valent and John Lethlean, among others, the menu is simple, seasonal and wine-friendly. Pasta made twice daily, shellfish with garlic butter and muslin-wrapped lemon to catch the pips, as if to say, “we know what you want before you do”. ●

At Flower Drum, those in the know leave it to restaurant manager Jason Lui or one of his team to pick a menu.

Jason’s father, chef and owner Anthony Lui, took over the reins from his mentor and original owner Gilbert Lau (now of Lau’s Family Kitchen) in 2000. What keeps the fire burning in Anthony’s belly? “The faces of happy diners leaving the table and their empty plates returning to my kitchen” – where he continues to man the pass after 36 years. Consistency is the key, from the attentive service to the way the elevator takes its time delivering you to the top, reminding you to slow down and relax. “Flower Drum is my benchmark,” says veteran food writer Rita Erlich. ●

GROSSI FLORENTINO NO \ Since 1928

LAKE HOUSE \ Since 1984

If you’re after a shucking good time, then France-Soir is your oyster. Since 1986, Jean-Paul Prunetti has provided late-night pundits of pleasurable eating with their fill of filet de boeuf, escargot and steak tartare. The tartare is the stuff of legend: pasture-fed O’Connor beef, minced by hand (as it should be) with an array of brunoise-cut condiments such as shallots and cornichon folded through. It’s a favourite of those in the know, including chef George Calombaris and food journalist Necia Wilden, who is “convinced they pipe mood enhancers through the air-conditioning”. Described as “a haven for visiting dignitaries and celebrities”, this is the sort of place where you’ll want to keep a close eye over your shoulder if you’re a fan of seeing and being seen. Stay a while – the kitchen’s open until midnight. ●

In his tome Melbourne: The Making of a Drinking and Eating Capital, food writer and Melbournophile Michael Harden describes Grossi Florentino as ever-evolving, “reinvent(ing) every day … with superb produce and consistently brilliant cooking”. Since the building’s first turn as a wine cafe in the late 1890s to the opening of the original Cafe Florentino in 1928, to three generations of Grossi generosity post-1999, this stayer is basically the Madonna of Bourke Street. Guy Grossi’s menu is profoundly Italian with an indulgent approach – like his pasta dough, which has been known to use five times the usual egg yolk quota.

The resulting sunny-hued dishes come adorned with what’s good – pine mushrooms, zucchini or, in the case of his smoked ricotta-filled “Ravioli All’Uovo”, yet more yolk. ●

Look up “if you build it, they will come” in the dictionary, and you’ll see the determined, dirt-smeared faces of Alla and Allan Wolf Tasker, who have turned a shrubby swamp into one of Victoria’s most successful restaurants over the past 32 years, inspiring a plethora of tree-changing chefs and producers. Theirs is a highly produce-driven menu, with a regularly updated letter at the front – detailing what the weather’s been up to and how it’s affecting your plate, be it the Skipton eel or the Angelica carrots. There’s a real sense of place and a connection with the land in a decidedly un-didactic way. Founding Good Food Guide editor Claude Forell is most taken with Alla’s aptitude for vegetables, offering that “few places cater as well to vegetarians”.

Come for the Springs, stay for the spring onion. ●

AUGUST 24, 2016 \ THE WEEKLY REVIEW 17

You know you’ve made it when home has a penthouse view

ROOM AT THE TOP L

uxury and penthouses go together like champagne and caviar. Penthouses are all about glamour, wealth and prestige. You are at the top of the heap and – usually – at the top of the tower. From the $400 million Sky Penthouse in the Odeon Tower in Monaco to London’s $237 million One Hyde Park Penthouse, the mega-rich have always gravitated to the upper levels of exclusive buildings at prestige addresses.

Views and scarcity are among the drawcards of Penthouse life. Australia has developed a heritage, not only of apartment living but of living in the sky.

Traditionally the penthouse is on the top floor of an apartment building, whether it be seven floors or 70 floors above the ground. Then there are sub-penthouses, which often occupy two or three floors below the penthouse.

When it comes to our most famous residential tower, Eureka, its architect Karl Fender of Fender Katsalidis Architects simply says: “When is a penthouse not a penthouse? My wife Sarah and I live on level 73 of the 88-floor building. We have half a floor and up that high you experience the views and different weather patterns so that no two days are alike.”

Apartment living may not be for everyone, but for Karl it is decidedly “better than looking

at a paling fence with a lawnmower on the other side”. He says privacy, freedom from maintenance and the convenience of the Southbank location are other winning attributes.

“I am not one that wants maintenance issues. A gym or pool or home theatre, if you have them in a house, represent a great capital outlay.

“It’s amazing how private living in an apartment is, but you meet people at the pool or gym. The location suits my work, my morning routine running along the banks of the Yarra and my travel. I can look out the window in the morning and decide which route to take if I am going to use the car.”

When the 297-metre-tall Eureka Tower in Southbank was finished in 2006, it was the tallest residential building in the world. It is now the 108th-tallest building in the world. Karl and Sarah, who have lived at Eureka for 10 years, haven’t lived in a house since 1974.

“We lived in apartments in London, Boston and Bangkok and when we came back to Melbourne in 1995 we continued to live the way we liked. It’s a very elegant way of living.”

The penthouse market is linked to the residential housing market, says Mark Dayman, director of Marshall White Projects.

“The empty-nester or downsizer sees the strength in the residential market and the increase in the value of their

home over the past five years so they think it’s a good time to sell,” he says. “They like to buy off the plan and typically will consolidate two 70-square-metre apartments into one larger penthouse and then go to the architect to create a bespoke offering.

“They want a lock-up-and-leave proposition, so they can travel and then come back to the place exactly as they

left it. If they have an adult child or student with them, two or three car spaces are important.”

Entry point for a penthouse in Melbourne is somewhere between $1.2 million and $2 million, and Mark says buyers often stick to buying within a kilometre of their former home.

Penthouses are not just appearing in off-the-plan developments. In blue-chip Toorak, penthouses in older-style buildings are being renovated and given a new lease of life. John Gdanski and his wife, property developer Gaby Tomkin, have spent 18 months renovating their 1970 two-level penthouse at 16 Woorigoleen Road.

The couple love the exclusivity of penthouse living.

“You are literally the king or queen of the castle,” Gaby says.

“We have 360-degree views of all of Melbourne. We have views to Port Phillip Bay and to the Dandenong Ranges.

“It’s special because you have your own separate entrance code and a lift that goes directly to your level. You walk out and are in your own lobby area.”

The private lift lobby opens into the 525-square-metre interior where glass doors and floor-to-ceiling windows open to north-west-facing terraces with a built-in teppanyaki barbecue and outdoor kitchen.

Gaby took out as many walls as possible to create their open-plan, contemporary, light-filled, four-bedroom house in the sky. The original staircase was fitted with a modern metal rail, the designer kitchen has Miele appliances and there is a butler’s pantry. They kept the walk-in safe, which she says is like a “little metal room with 30-centimetre-wide walls”.

“Houses in Woorigoleen Road are selling for $7 million or $8 million and they don’t have the views,” she says. ● mharris@theweeklyreview.com.au » Grant Giordano of Sotheby’s International Realty is selling the penthouse at 16 Woorigoolen Road, Toorak.

CARTIER \ Santos 100 carbon

ROLEX \ Day-Date President

Louis Cartier created the Santos watch in 1904, sealing his friendship with the aviator of the same name, Alberto Santos-Dumont, who you might have noticed in the opening ceremony of Rio 2016 “flying” out of the stadium. A close-up of his wrist, if it were historically accurate, would have shown the rounded angles and exposed screws of a watch that has true claim to icon status. Cartier marked the centenary of the watch with a blacked-out steel model with a scratch-resistant ADLC coating and automatic 1847 MC Manufacture movement. ● RRP $10,700

What do you get for the leader in your life – male, female, young, old – who has everything?

Are you kidding? You get them a Rolex Day-Date or “The President’s watch” as it’s been known ever since American presidents such as Lyndon B. Johnson made it their timekeeper of choice. Chances are those to the power born either have one or they’ve got one picked out.

It’s the ultimate wrist symbol of success and, with an ever-increasing array of style icons wearing it – including Justin Timberlake on his recent hit Can’t Stop the Feeling! – it has by no means had its day. ● RRP $47,550

timely reward

LONGINES \ Master Collection Moon Phase

While the classic look is often imitated, there’s nothing quite like the real thing and few brands do timeless better than Longines. This model has it all: alligator strap, polished gold case and the trusty Longines calibre L678, which you can see through the clear sapphire crystal caseback. This watch packs a serious functional punch too, with chronograph, complete calendar and moon-phase complications. ● RRP $12,775

A classic timepiece will tell the world you’ve arrived

OMEGA GA \ Seamaster 300 Master Co-Axial

wo r d s \ A n d r e w M c U tch en

It’s the Omega dive watch du jour and, thanks to its Bond connection and vintage-inspired colour scheme, it can be worn with anything. And by that I really do mean anything. The Spectre limited edition came standard on a striped black and grey NATO strap and fits as well with a tuxedo as it does swimming trunks.

The two-tone Sedna gold and steel version steps up the luxe. It is the watch for every mission, be that on land, sea or boardroom. ● RRP $7975

Andrew McUtchen is the founder of timeandtidewatches.com – Australia’s most popular wristwatch website.

AUDEMARS PIGUET \ Royal Oak perpetual calendar

On the style front, the Portugieser Automatic is more sensitive, artistic gent than alpha male, despite its almost imposing size. The design is based on twin pillars of heft and authenticity as, unlike many modern watches, it has always been huge for the simple reason that the watch that inspired it housed a pocket watch movement and was used by mariners. Manly stuff indeed. You could also sub in the IWC Big Pilot as the new range has plenty of dressy variations in precious metals perfect for suit duty. ● RRP $17,800

IWC \ Portugieser

No watch wins over more influential people, in my opinion, than the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. With its octagonal case (and those unmistakable exposed screws) it’s the face that has launched a thousand watch imitators. Its proportions are millimetre-perfect in all sizes – it runs from a 36mm version to the “Jumbo” 41mm – and, while it’s not common, it is iconic enough to appeal to watch lovers as well as those with a keen eye for quality. In terms of the message this watch sends, the Royal Oak quietly confirms that rumours of your going up in the world are well-founded. ● RRP $86,000

here are traditional measures of success and one of them has always been your car. And by this measure Australians are doing very well indeed; the luxury car market has never been as successful as it is right now and there are no signs of a slowdown. Whether it’s an Audi A1 or a Ferrari – or anything in between – Australians have never bought more.

The figures speak for themselves. In 2000 Australians bought 787,100 new vehicles, in 2015 we bought 1,155,408, an increase of 47 per cent. In the same period

sales of BMWs have risen by 161 per cent, Mercedes-Benzes by 185 per cent and Audis 665 per cent. Bentley sales are up by an astounding 1217 per cent and Rolls-Royce by 1400 per cent. Lotus sales have doubled, Ferrari’s have almost tripled, both Maserati and Lamborghini are up by almost 10 times and Aston Martin sales are up by 13 times.

Porsche sales have increased by almost 500 per cent, Land Rover/Range Rover sales have doubled and Volvo is up 63 per cent.

In fact the only prestige brand I could spot that’s down is Alfa Romeo.

Now consider the luxury brands that have come along since 2000: Infiniti sold 574 cars in 2015, McLaren 36 and Mini 3342. Prestige sales are still going up.

So do more people have more money or are the rich getting richer? It’s neither; prestige cars don’t cost a whole lot more now than they did back then and, in many cases, they’re cheaper, despite being vastly safer and better-equipped. Wages have grown, thus many more people can splurge on what they’ve always aspired to drive.

Consider this: In 2000, a mid-range

Mercedes C240 cost $73,000 plus on-roads, way more than the average Australian income of $45,000. Right now a C250 costs $76,513 drive away – less than the average income of $87,000. At the same time, a BMW X5 was $108,000 plus on-roads in 2000; now X5s start under $100,000. Audi’s priciest A6 was $135,400 plus on-roads in 2000, now it’s $137,190 drive away.

And the big brands have all introduced smaller, cheaper entry-level models since then to tempt more people into their brands and, hopefully, keep them there. With Audi it’s the A1, BMW has the 1-series and Mercedes-Benz the A-class.

Now a Corolla can cost more than some German brands: a Corolla ZR sedan is $34,810 drive away while you can drive out in an Audi A1 for $31,500. Finance options are more attractive too. Novated leases on work cars make prestige brands tempting and they’ve exploded in popularity.

So if you think you’re seeing more prestige cars around, you are. And if you think it’s a sign Australians are richer, well that’s right too but not nearly so much. ● ROD EASDOWN reasdown@theweeklyreview.com.au

“In order to create quality you need to work very hard for it”

(SCOTT McNAUGHTON)

– vincent lam

Why did you choose to work at Catholic Ladies’ College?

Previously I was at St Kevin’s College, which is the same school that I went to, so it was really the only school I knew. I decided it was time to challenge myself and I wanted to work at either a girls’ school or co-ed because I figured if I switched to another boys’ school then I may as well have stayed where I was.

It has also been interesting to learn a new approach to teaching. It’s not so much about the difference in teaching boys versus girls, it’s more about the fact that every school has its own culture that you need to understand.

I like to be straight down the line but sympathetic as well.

What made you want to become a teacher?

I didn’t really know what I wanted to do until I was in year 12 to be honest. I had quite an enjoyable year and I did much better than I thought I would do, and I put that down to a few teachers who really pushed me in a good way. I decided that was the kind of 26 THE WEEKLY REVIEW \ AUGUST 24, 2016

environment I wanted to be in. There was one teacher who used to pull us up if we were taking it easy and he taught me a lot about handling pressure.

It is something I tell the girls now; that there will be times you will have to perform under pressure and it is better to face it rather than run from it.

to take responsibility for your work, which is why I often ask students how they react when they get a mark they’re not happy with. Do they get upset or do they take responsibility?

If you take responsibility you can always find a way out of that situation. And, of course, teachers are there to help, but at the end of the day it is up to the students.

Were there any teachers who influenced you?

What is the biggest challenge of being a teacher these days?

There were a few. My history teacher was one of them, he taught me the importance of working hard and there was also an English teacher who would mark my practice essays to give me a hand. I was not naturally that strong at English but I ended up gaining a better score than I thought because of their support.

It’s a constant balancing act and there are so many co-curricular activities that we are involved in so you really need to be a very good time manager. I spend a third of my time teaching and the remaining two-thirds are spent fulfilling my leadership role and also coaching the soccer team.

Tell me a bit more about your teaching philosophy

What is the best way to handle a student who tells you they don’t like maths?

There is a quote I have pinned to my wall that reads “quality is the exclusion of coincidence”.

In order to create quality, you need to work very hard for it. But, more than that, you need

WE LOVE IT

I

t is sometimes said that a sign of a truly good movie is when you’re still thinking about it a week later. The same could be said about this new house in leafy Eltham North.

This place offers much more than a big first impression.

Long after you have left it behind, your mind wanders back to the open and airy living spaces, the features and finishes and, of course, to the vast deck high in the treetops.

The journey to the finished product also stays on your mind. How did this local builder manage to achieve what he did on a block like this?

This 619-square-metre subdivision is steep even for Eltham North. Although flat at the base, where new lawn has been laid, the block rises sharply.

Rather than follow the usual split-level mould, the builder cleverly propped up the house and stacked two storeys up the side of the hill.

The result is a clean and simple interior connected by a single stairwell rather than multiple, complicated levels with lots of internal stairs.

It’s one thing to work with what you’ve got but something quite different to turn a negative into a positive. This builder did just that by transforming the steep block into an asset.

He used the incline to create a third covered parking space beneath the lower storey. He then used a section of the lower storey’s roof to create a sensational deck, bringing residents into the canopy of the surrounding gums.

As far as outdoor entertainment areas are concerned, there’s a covered section with downlights and a fan for dining on balmy nights, and an open-air sitting area in which to lie back after dinner and watch the stars.

The deck connects seamlessly to the family hub, which has spotted gum floors. A dividing wall separates the dining and living spaces and houses a stylish, glass-framed gas fireplace.

The fireplace competes for attention with the treetop views through the picture windows.

The kitchen has a vast stone island bench with waterfall edges, Bosch appliances (including a 900-millimetre oven), marble hexagon-tile splashbacks, soft-close cabinetry, and a butler’s pantry with sink and dumbwaiter to carry the shopping from the double garage below.

In addition to the family hub, the top floor includes a study or fourth bedroom by the entrance, a powder room and the main bedroom. The latter has a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite with double shower and twin vanities.

The children’s wing is down below. Two bedrooms with built-in wardrobes share a large bathroom with shower and free-standing bath. The family room, although on the lower floor, is still high above the ground and has excellent elevated views.

There’s a handy second powder room next to the garage, which opens to the laundry, storeroom and underhouse storage.

Clearly, every centimetre of this property has been put to good use. There’s space for youngsters to play in the front and back gardens. Should they want more room to roam, the Eltham North adventure playground is only a short walk away. ● LIAM CARTER property@theweeklyreview.com.au

This is a property likely to induce kids to go screaming around the garden, up and down mezzanines and into a Narnia-like wardrobe beyond a wardrobe; the next owners might well buy it because their offspring tell them to. Built in 1979 in the bowl of its court, the two-storey house faces north-west and has big windows. A renovation has preserved the character; including timber stairs and the atrium foyer with front door surrounded by stained glass in a gumleaf pattern. There are five communal areas separated to work as generational lairs. The living room has polished floorboards and full-length windows. Next door is the dining room, followed by the new kitchen, which has an Ilve cooktop and oven and a Miele dishwasher. Completing the circle are the meals area and the family room. On the lower-ground floor is the rumpus room, which opens to the garden. Three ground-floor bedrooms have wardrobes, and the first-floor main suite has a sunny retreat, en suite with shower and two walk-in wardrobes. ● ALISON BARCLAY

The floor plan is tuned to suit a large family, with spaces to find privacy and to come together. A triple-fronted brick facade with balcony makes for a striking street presence. Ground level comprises a garage, storeroom, foyer, powder room and home theatre. Open the blinds and the theatre becomes a sunny rumpus. Bedrooms are on the first floor. The main has a walk-in wardrobe, en suite and balcony. Two steps above, in the rear wing, the children’s bedrooms have built-in wardrobes. The open-plan kitchen, dining and family area links up with the front lounge, which connects, in turn, with a study. Glass doors in the family area reveal the deck and backyard, while those in the lounge and study lead to the balcony.

ELTHAM NORTH \ 14 BRIXTON AVENUE POSTCODE

3095

Does Fasham ever go out of fashion? Not if this house is any indication. This 25-year-old residence by renowned builder Fasham Johnson is nothing less

than timeless.

Fasham’s trademark flat roof, simple floor plan and light, bright and airy living spaces transcend design fads or trends.

The bathrooms and kitchens have been recently updated and you’d be mad to change anything else.

This is the sort of place that puts you at ease as soon as you step inside.

The living spaces face north and catch the sun. They are wrapped in windows and offer views of the pool.

Glass sliding doors lead from the kitchen area to a covered outdoor entertainment area.

In cooler months, the new residents could entertain by the fire in the lounge.

Accommodation is zoned. Tucked away by the entrance, the main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and en suite with double shower. It looks into an atrium, as does the study.

Three children’s bedrooms, a freshly renovated bathroom with tub and separate shower and a laundry have their own wing beyond the family room.

The property includes a detached workshop, tank-fed gardens, double carport and extra off-street parking. ● LIAM CARTER

EAGLEMONT \ 20 GLENARD DRIVE It’s a rare thing to watch a mob of kangaroos while lounging in the privacy of your own deck; 10 kilometres from the CBD, it’s almost unheard of.

In the heritage-listed Glenard Estate, this house capitalises on Eaglemont’s natural scenery. The cream brick veneer of the renovated, three-level house is barely visible behind the earthy gardens that front the property.

There are outdoor and indoor living areas to suit the needs of an active family. The kitchen, casual living and dining areas have blond hardwood floors and white walls. Adding more light to these spaces are the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Yarra Flats. The open fireplace in the living room adds to the cosy, rustic feel.

Bifold doors connect the casual and formal living areas. The dark-grey carpet and decorative glass shelving make for a more intimate setting.

The main bedroom is on the top level and takes in the best of the views from a private balcony. There is a walk-in wardrobe and en suite.

The bottom level has a room with potential to be used as a fifth bedroom, as well as a space connected to the pool area that is set up as a gym and workshop. Ivanhoe East Primary, Ivanhoe Girls’ Grammar and Ivanhoe Grammar School are nearby. ● EMILY COLLIN

Dr. Tony Stubbs, Eye Surgeon, says that just about anyone can have their vision restored and be rid of their glasses for most of the time. And this is without the use of laser surgery.

Dr Stubbs, a visiting specialist at the Royal Victorian Eye & Ear Hospital who has worked with the Fred Hollows eye department at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney, says he began his career through the inspiration of his father, Dr Maxwell Stubbs. “My father was a pioneer in cataract implant surgery from 1963! He has now passed away but some of his patients still come in for a check-up. Not only is this inspirational, it also demonstrates that good surgery outlasts the surgeon,� Dr Stubbs says.

A specialist who helps people who have been advised they are unsuitable for laser surgery, Dr Stubbs is also committed to demonstrating that age, corneal distortion or astigmatism are no barriers to eliminating the need for glasses.

One of my best moments was treating a 12-year-old girl who was struggling at school because of poor vision due to congenital cataracts even with the use of thick glasses.

Now 10 years later, she still has 20/20 vision without glasses. That inspires me. “Seeing my patients’ bright smiles after surgery, as they stop squinting and can read without glasses, is definitely the best part of my job.�

No referral is needed and no out-of-pocket expenses are incurred for an assessment to enable all options available to be considered.

The Victorian Equal Opportunity Act 1995 makes it unlawful for an advertiser to show any intention to discriminate on the basis of sex, pregnancy, race, age, marital status, political or religious belief or physical features, disability, lawful sexual activity/sexual orientation, HIV/AIDS status or on the basis of being associated with a person with one of the above characteristics, unless covered by an exception under the Act. As Network Classifieds could be legally liable if an unlawful advertisement is printed, Network Classifieds will not accept advertisements that appear to break the law.
