VCAT anger

Sport EDFL new boys fed to the Sharks

Not-so-bon voyage when we pay for it hat is it with these people? Are they so short of dinner party conversation that three months alone at sea will improve their company? Oh, do please seat me next to Thierry. I nodded off after Day 32 last time.

He’d just logged his 900,000th wave.

They are mainly French, these lost round-theworld yachtsmen and women, with the notable exception of the bothersome Tony Bullimore This is because the French started the madness that is the Vendee Globe, the single-handed, nonstop, round-the-world yacht race.

Between 1995 and 1997 it cost Australian taxpayers $21 million to rescue just four of them: Isabelle Austissier, Thierry Dubois, Raphael Dinelli and Bullimore — all plucked from the briny like human truffles. Now Alain Delord has joined their ranks. He hijacked the holidays of an entire cruise ship of passengers to save his scrawny, uninsured neck. A miracle he called it.

Sacre bleu, monsieur, get real!

Why do we tolerate this flotilla of bored old salts bobbing about in bespoke boats worth more than the combined exports of the republic of Burundi when we so revile asylum seekers driven to the water in genuine desperation to reach our shores?

Why rush to buy books about the yachties’ futile flounderings, yet insist on locking up people who’ve real stories to tell?

Circumnavigating the globe? Correct me if it hasn’t already been done. There was that Spanish bloke Magellan, for starters, and recently even a 15-year-old Australian girl. But six months non-stop, single-handed in a bathtub full of burgundy and broken baguettes back home in Bordeaux? Now that, my intrepid French friends, has not been done.

Nothing to celebrate: Critics of the decision to raise VCAT fees say it will make it far more difficult for residents to take on developers and win.

VCAT fees to ‘silence objectors’

BY EUGENE BENSON FEDERAL Wills MP Kelvin Thomson has gone public with scathing comments of the Victorian government’s proposal to raise fees for people appealing cases at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.

Never backward in coming forward, the outspoken MP said the cost rises would unfairly hurt everyday residents by undermining access to, in the words of VCAT’s motto, ‘fair, efficient justice for all Victorians’.

As reported in the Weekly, residents fighting a development at VCAT will be forced to shell out $1007 by 2015 — a rise of $685.

Alfred Y Haweil J.P. Dental Prosthetist R.D.H. (Melb) 190 Keilor Road, North Essendon Ph: 9379 9822 Ph/Fax: 9379 0111 E: dentureone@bigpond.com

VCAT expenses as a tax deduction, in the context of their business dealings and operations. ‘‘Residents, on the other hand, have no capacity to claim any such expenses, despite the fact they are likely to be much more affected by a development than the developers.’’

Friends of Steele Creek president Helen van den Berg said she had never been at a VCAT hearing which lasted less than three days. ‘‘This is being done to take away our voice and give an advantage to developers.’’

Moonee Valley mayor Narelle Sharpe said the council had yet to decide if it would make a formal submission on the proposed VCAT fee increases. ‘‘I am concerned that the price rises may prevent residents from objecting to developments.’’

From March, fees to lodge an objection are proposed to more than quadruple, from $322 to $1462, if the development being objected to falls between $1 million and $5 million.

The tribunal is expected to collect an extra $22 million over the next three years from proposed fee increases and new charges.

The cost of other appeals such as consumer claims and tenancy disputes, including mediation, will jump to $300 a day.

In a submission to the state Department of Justice, Mr Thomson said he believed the fee increase proposals were ‘‘out of step’’ with community expectations and would ‘‘play into the hands of property developers’’. ‘‘Property developers have the capacity to claim

THE public has been asked to decide whether applying higher council rates to certain businesses is equitable, and whether the money achieves its intended outcome.

A discussion paper on differential rates was released last week after Local Government Minister Jeanette Powell was given the power last year to remove councils’ powers to charge some landowners extra. If a council applies differential rates that don’t conform with the guidelines being discussed then the minister has powers to stop them.

Moonee Valley Council has announced it will investigate ways to bolster its rate income over the next 12 months. This could include the use of differential rates, which involves placing a higher rate burden on certain types of properties.

Moonee Valley ruled out following the lead of Darebin Council, which has announced it would explore placing a higher rate differential on fast-food outlets.

Moreland Council has put higher rates on electronic gaming venues and used the extra funds to pay for gambling help.

Darebin also charges landlords of pokies venues more and charges owners of vacant land more as an encouragement to develop.

Ms Powell said “several councils have employed significant creativity and stretched their differential rates powers to pursue social policy objectives’’.

Two of the questions being asked in the discussion paper relate to the equity of charging some businesses higher rates than others.

The paper also asks whether differential rates are the best way to achieve a council’s desired outcome.

Fire threat ignites heated debate Heights Aged Care in North Road look out onto 200 metres of high grass on the eastern riverbanks. No fire breaks there. So if we are sensibly told to plan ahead, so too should our authorities.

A toast to Aussie breakfast

eilor East residents whose homes were threatened by a grass fire earlier this month are angry with Parks Victoria, claiming overgrown grass had not been cut in Maribyrnong Valley parklands for more than two years.

They reacted with cynicism to a letter they received from Western Metropolitan Region parliamentarian Andrew Elsbury congratulating the parks authority and the MFB for quickly containing the fire. The fire breaks, the politician boasted, had proved effective. Good news, but it was still necessary to evacuate a nursing home.

Mr Elsbury tells us to plan ahead and the MFB has now sent residents fire safety material, two weeks after the fire. Residents at Avondale

The Essendon Lions Club staged its 20th ‘I Love Australia’ breakfast last Saturday, helping to improve awareness of Aussie goods and services and to encourage pride in our country’s achievements. An initiative of the late Stan Morrison, this iconic event continues to attract strong community support. Boundy’s Supermarkets was honoured with the annual industry award — a fine choice in a competitive market, for a business which George Boundy began in Keilor Road 90 years ago. The Lions, with support from Strathmore Community Bank, also acknowledged Michael Schepis, a mechanic at Airport Toyota, as Apprentice of the Year.

Despite a reduced membership, the Essendon Lions, which began in 1953, continues to serve our community well.

Plan sketched out for busy roads future development is in line with our plans.

“To have these documents in the planning scheme we need to undertake a state government planning process called a planning scheme amendment.

Mayor Narelle Sharpe said one of the aims of the structure plan would be to accommodate some of Melbourne’s growing population. ‘‘These areas are good locations for housing more people because of their proximity to services, shops and transport.

“Melbourne will continue to grow and the state government will continue to direct some of this growth into busy established inner urban areas, like the Union Road and Racecourse Road.’’

A STRUCTURE plan for Union and Racecourse roads is under development by Moonee Valley Council.

Union and Racecourse roads were nominated by the Labor state government to be ‘major activities areas’ and therefore a structure plan was required as a planning tool to direct development.

For the structure plan, the council has developed urban design guidelines, which provide more detail about how buildings should look, and documentation that proposes to change the zone of each area to an Activity Centre Zone.

Planning portfolio councillor Paul Giuliano said having these documents included or referenced in the Moonee Valley planning scheme was very important.

“Documents like structure plans have more weight as decision-making tools if they are referenced or included in the planning scheme.

“This helps the council to have more control over how an area changes and ensure

Rail project to link cycle, walk paths

BY EUGENE BENSON MOONEE Valley residents are being asked to suggest ways to provide easier pedestrian and cycle links between Essendon and Newmarket stations along the Craigieburn rail corridor.

With no designated path, cyclists must travel on the ‘wrong side’ of one-way streets alongside the rail line.

The council says this isn’t safe and makes it difficult for pedestrians to cross busy roads, including Ascot Vale Road, Moonee Valley mayor Narelle Sharpe said more people would walk and cycle if it was safer and easier.

She said the Craigieburn rail line project would link with routes to the CBD and planned routes along the Craigieburn rail corridor in Moreland and Hume. “[The path] project was well supported when the council consulted on its Walking and Cycling Strategy, which was adopted in June 2012.

“The aim of the project is to promote increased walking and cycling for local trips’’ — Cr Narelle Sharpe “The aim of the project is to promote increased walking and cycling for local trips, including connecting up with public transport,’’ Cr Sharpe said.

Plans are already in place to establish pedestrian and cyclist refuge islands — making it easier for people to cross busy roads — and to install signs and pram ramps.

One-way streets will also be reconfigured.

Residents can have their say on the project from February 4-28 via an online form at mvcc.vic.gov.au/crc or by emailing comments to crc@mvcc.vic.gov.au A ‘walkshop’ will start from Pin Oak Crescent at Kent Street in Flemington from 6-7pm, February 21, to help residents make location suggestions about the project.

Long gestation for bike path, now ‘old dirt track’

BY EUGENE BENSON

NIDDRIE and East Keilor residents are heaping pressure on Places Victoria to make good on its promise to deliver an upgraded bike path between Valley Lake estate and Spring Gully Reserve.

When Places Victoria was called VicUrban under the former state government, the latter made a commitment to ensure an incomplete bike path between the two points would be finished when major infrastructure works were undertaken.

Friends of Steele Creek president Helen van den Berg said the original agreement with residents and stakeholders was to revegetate the banks of Steele Creek and ensure a safe bike path was built away from the flood plain.

Mrs van den Berg said she suspected Places Victoria had planned to

‘It [bike path] needs to be completed. Plenty of residents would use it and with school starting back there needs to be safe access for students to ride to school.’

— Helen van den Berg construct the path within the ‘‘one in one-hundred-year’’ flood line and had then had to reconfigure its plans when it realised the mistake. ‘‘If they had consulted first they would have known that the place to build it is where the existing track is. It’s currently overgrown and just an old dirt track. ‘‘It needs to be completed. Plenty of residents would use it and with school

starting back there needs to be safe access for students to ride to school.’’

Places Victoria’s metropolitan precincts general manager Sebastian Catalfamo said that during the process of developing the landscape master plan for the bike path, the wider community had been consulted “From the outset of the construction of the shared path network, Places Victoria has not confirmed exact completion dates as this is determined by the rate of development and the market. But, to date, plans have been developed and will be submitted for all required approvals in February 2013, with works anticipated to be tendered around early spring 2013.” ‘‘Places Victoria has completed 95 per cent of the shared path network around the Valley Lake community, which has been completed in stages and in accordance with statutory approvals,’’ Mr Catalfamo said.

patterns to make other patterns. It’s something that’s entirely creative and individual.’’

Ms Uren’s passion for embroidery began in childhood, and it’s never left her. ‘‘I always wanted to embroider. Since I was four I can remember stitching. I don’t know why as there was no background and I lived in a tiny country town, on a farm. ‘‘But that was something I wanted to do my whole life.’’

Ms Uren helped form the Embroiderers Guild of Victoria with a group of like-minded women in 1960.

She had met them the year before while studying at Teachers College, and she attended an embroidery exhibition at Melbourne University.

In her 20s she took a year off from teaching and travelled to Europe, spending six weeks undertaking classes with the best metal thread worker in the world.

Uren worked as a teacher in technical schools across Victoria during her career with embroidery, delivering her a creative outlet and hobby.

mbroidery pioneer Lesley Uren dubiously admits to having stitched 648 pieces. ‘‘That’s what’s recorded. I’ve done more than that.’’

Ms Uren, of Avondale Heights, was last weekend the recipient of an Order of Australia Medal (OAM) in the Australia Day awards.

The 73-year-old was a founding member of the Embroiderers Guild of Victoria in 1960. She honed her skills to become an expert in metal thread work. ‘‘It was a complete surprise,’’ she says of the letter notifying her of the honour. ‘‘I’m really humbled by it because there are so many others who really do magnificent work and others who fight for embroidery.’’

By ‘‘fighting’’, Ms Uren is referring to acceptance, which she says is a cause she’s still tackling.

She says embroidery is recognised as an art in most countries, but in Australia galleries are reluctant to give it credence. ‘‘It is art,’’ she says defiantly. ‘‘It’s creative. It’s not using a pattern or going out and buying a kit. It’s not using a fabric that you buy in a fabric shop and using those

a seamless career enhances our social fabric, writes Robert Fedele She has exhibited in most states and internationally, with her pieces in collections across Europe and Africa.

Ms Uren specialises in large hangings of gold and silver metal thread work and most of her work interprets Australian sea life and wildlife.

The walls of her home are adorned with stunning pieces, among them a phoenix rising from the ashes created in the aftermath of Ash Wednesday and a lobster she bought at Anglesea, photographed, sketched . . . then ate.

Some of her pieces can take up to 400 hours to complete.

Ms Uren obliges with a handful of commissioned work, but for the most part her creations are purely for her own enjoyment. ‘‘I could easily sell. But I don’t do it to sell; I do it because I love it. ‘‘I love texture and I love 3D. Even if it’s a shallow 3D you get shadows.’’

Ms Uren says embroidery is beginning to get the recognition it deserves after years of people championing the cause.

She points to the fact Box Hill TAFE now offers a three-year course in embroidery as evidence of longed-for acceptance and a bright future. ‘‘I want it to continue to be bright and I’ll push for it as long as I’m able to.’’

Moonee Valley had two other Order of Australia recipients. Professor Andrew Cochrane, of Essendon, received an OAM for his service to adolescent and adult congenital heart disease as a clinician, research and educator, and for his humanitarian and philanthropic contributions.

Moonee Ponds resident Carolyn Bond received an OAM for service to the community through protecting consumers in relation to financial services as an advocate and counsellor, by providing legal assistance.

S

ally Sutton is a clothing whisperer. Walking from rack to rack in her vintage-wear store, Sutton can pull out piece after piece and recount stories about their past and how they found their way from far-flung corners of the globe to a much-cherished Seddon corner store.

Where some may see a pretty frock, a ruffled blouse or a demure negligee, Sutton teases out an enthralling life story.

Diamond Dog Vintage is a Seddon institution, a place where the hopes and dreams of the past have been lovingly preserved in a multi-fabric bubble of nostalgia.

The window display is an ever-changing spectacle of vintage finds, in keeping with the timeless feel of the surrounding neighbourhood.

While the seemingly endless array of ’40s, ’50s, ’60s and ’70s clothing may appear to have come together effortlessly, the truth is far less glamorous than some of the evening wear on show.

Sutton spends countless hours hunting worldwide, often up until the early hours writing back and forth with people across the globe as she tracks down each unique piece. ‘‘My original idea was to have just Australian clothing.

I was forever looking for the true Australian dress, but there’s so little of it now left,’’ Sutton says. ‘‘Because Australia was such a tiny country, we don’t have much vintage. So I’ve had to spread my wings. I buy now from all over the place. Because I lived in LA for years and did vintage there, I buy a lot from LA and Boston ... I want to get things that are out of the ordinary and find them a good home.’’

This labour of love has the Williamstown resident hooked. While she wasn’t the first to run the store she has worked to put her own stamp on it. This includes carefully curating Australia’s largest collection of vintage swimming costumes. ‘‘It was first opened 22 years ago by this incredible women, a mad Londoner, a very tiny and dynamic woman who would go back to England and bring things back over. I shopped here for years and years and years.

I loved the vintage clothes here, just loved it. I’ve come in and taken it to where I wanted it to be, which is beautiful 1940s, ’50s, ’60s and ’70s.’’

Sutton loves the fact the clothing arrives with its own

[ 12 ] MOONEE VALLEY WEEKLY – YOUR COMMUNITY VOICE

personality and character. She says every piece has a history she can’t help but dig out.

While she explains this, a customer is eyeing off a Hawaiian dress in the window display. The woman asks about trying it on but is gently deterred by Sutton who suggests she returns later that evening. Sutton later admits not being ready to farewell the dress, a recent arrival.

Some pieces are more difficult to let go than others. ‘‘I bought some beautiful see-through blouses from the 1940s and ’50s. Fashion of that era was the sexiest fashion because they embraced the body and they knew how to show off, like Grace Kelly, those beautiful angles. ‘‘I found them [the blouses] in Miami. The woman wrote and said her mother escaped the holocaust, came to Melbourne, bought the blouses in Melbourne, went to live in Miami and in New York and now they’re coming back here. She said her mother would be chuffed to know that. And I love that, I love that kind of intimacy that they bring.’’

For Sutton the pieces speak of a time when subtlety and suggestion reigned. Communication, especially between the sexes, was as much about what was left unsaid.

Seddon floriographer Christie McIntosh is equally taken by this history of unspoken communication.

Her passion lies further in the past than Sutton’s, tracing back to the Victorian era of the 19th century.

McIntosh is bringing back the all-but-forgotten language of flowers, one bloom at a time.

She explains that each flower and colour contains its own meanings, enabling a range of expressions to be wordlessly conveyed in a specially crafted bouquet. ‘‘Floriography is the art of expression through the language of flowers. It is all about bringing back this ancient, secret language from the late 1800s.’’

Operating from a home studio in Seddon, McIntosh is turning her personal love affair with flowers into an artform that can be shared. ‘‘I have had a lifetime passion for flowers, but professionally it has been about a year since I began the business. I just love going to the flower markets, looking around and picking up fresh stock. It has most likely come from my mother and being around when she has been making arrangements and tending the garden when I was young.’’

The passion further bloomed when McIntosh discovered an old book about the meaning of flowers, hidden away in a secondhand bookstore. ‘‘It seemed like such a beautiful sentiment. I recall thinking this is such a beautiful way to say thank you or to send a message,’’ McIntosh says.

She is attracted by the generosity of the gesture as well as the care taken to express thoughts and feelings in such a creative fashion. ‘‘When someone receives my flowers and understands how they have been selected and put together, I think

January 29, 2013

they look more closely at what they have received and think about each flower, trying to understand what the sender is trying to say - what the secret message might be.’’

Special dictionaries were developed to explaining these nuanced meanings and the further McIntosh researches, the more she has become intrigued by the depth of this lost language. ‘‘I am continually learning and refining my lists. I find you learn something better if you learn why something means what it does, so I’m looking as much as I can into that background.’’

While some of the meanings may seem arbitrary, others appear to relate directly to attributes or behaviours of the flower.

McIntosh says flowers that may be persistent growers in difficult conditions might come to represent attributes such as courage or perseverance. ‘‘Sunflowers represent loyalty, which could reflect the way they turn their heads to always follow the sun.

But then there are others, such as the cabbage which represents profit, which aren’t quite as clear as to how they took on that meaning.’’

Proteas are a special favourite of McIntosh, representing strength and courage. “I also love all of the summer flowers. Peonies are another favourite, they are a way to wish a long and happy marriage. And for flowers that represent gratitude, molucella are wonderful - they are a beautiful, strange green.’’

Queen Victoria was a passionate devotee of the language of flowers, sparking a wider interest and understanding of the art during her reign. But by the early 1900s it had become diluted and soon the language was all but lost. ‘‘New fads came along and it fell out of style,’’ McIntosh says.

But she believes there has been a resurgence in interest, as people look for greater meaning and connection with the world around them and one another.

Swing dancing instructor Steve Hartshorne has seen the same resurgence in people’s curiosity about lost ‘golden eras’ such as the jazz age.

The popularity of weekly swing dance sessions he and his wife Laura hold at Newport RSL are testament to the strength of the scene in Melbourne, especially in the western suburbs. ‘‘My wife and I have been swing dancing for 11 years.

We just had an interest in jazz and every time we went out and saw a band and saw people dancing we thought it looked like a lot of fun,’’ Hartshorne says.

The Hoppers Crossing pair decided to throw themselves into the scene, discovering they weren’t the only ones being enticed. ‘‘Melbourne actually has the largest [swing dance] scene outside the US - we found out by turning up to a ball and there were 800 dancers.’’

As well as the musical and social elements, there is an aesthetic and celebration of the style of the day. ‘‘We all love getting dressed up in vintage ’40s gear for heading out, that side of it is certainly a big part of it’’ Hartshorne says.

He credits the strength of Melbourne’s live music scene with underpinning the swing dance revival. ‘‘I think it comes from having some of the greatest jazz musicians and big bands in the world right here in Melbourne. Once you get involved in the music, it’s just a natural progression towards swing dance.’’

While there is strong interest from all over the city, Hartshorne believes the strongest interest is in the western suburbs. ‘‘There is something about this area. It still has a lot of the older-style houses in the neighbourhoods and also the older-style venues. There is nothing better than having all these people dressed up in original vintage gear to go to these original venues to hear this original music.’’

Hartshorne has taught students aged from their mid-teens through to their late 60s, with many people inspired to learn after seeing people swing dancing at a music festival or to a jazz band. ‘‘Partner dancing is a bit of a lost art - people still go out dancing but it’s more about dancing by themselves, even if they are with other people. This brings that partner dancing back.’’

Moonee Valley joined towns and regions across the nation in welcoming its newest citizens as part of Australia Day 2013 celebrations. About 140 people from 41 countries officially became Australian citizens in a special ceremony at the Clocktower Centre in Moonee Ponds. Spirit of Moonee Valley citizen of the year Peter Cribb was named Australia Day citizen for 2013 and presented with a certificate by Australia Day ambassador Jane Edmanson OAM. Following the ceremony, guests enjoyed an Aussie barbecue lunch, with entertainment by indigenous dancers and Bush Remnants — a four-piece bush band.

School’s shady sport spot Keilor East Community Bank has donated $20,000 from its community grants program to St Christopher’s Primary School in Airport West. The $20,000 was used to create a large shaded area where children can play and learn in the fresh air. This area will be used for the school’s extensive sports program and will also enable teachers to conduct outdoor lessons for their students.

Bonus in time for classes Families in Melbourne’s West have started to receive the first payment of the federal government’s new Schoolkids Bonus. The

payment of $205 for each primary school child and $410 for each secondary school student helps lighten the load for families.

A breakdown of payments for each local government region shows 3795 families in Moonee Valley will get payments worth $1.816 million. For Schoolkids Bonus information, visit australia.gov.au/ schoolkidsbonus or like the Australian Families Facebook page at facebook.com/FamiliesInAustralia.

Council budget suggestions Until February 8, residents can have their say about inclusions for the 2013-14 Moonee Valley Council budget. Ideas can include use of open space, expanded services or programs. Suggestions can be emailed to budget@mvcc.vic.gov.au or to Manager Finance, PO Box 126, Moonee Ponds, Victoria, 3039

Cr Sharpe said she was a believer in community engagement and hearing from residents first-hand. ‘‘As an elected representative, it’s important for me to have a clear understanding of the issues that are impacting our residents.

“These sessions are a great opportunity for residents to provide me their feedback on the council’s services and broader strategic direction — what we’re doing right, areas we can improve, and ideas for the future.

“I very much look forward to meeting new faces and hearing people’s thoughts.”

The first session will take place on February 7, from 11am to 1pm at Niddrie Library, 483 Keilor Road, Niddrie.

MOONEE Valley mayor Narelle Sharpe is following the lead of her predecessor Cr Jim Cusack and heading out into the local community to chat with residents about issues important to them.

Until October, Cr Sharpe will hold monthly sessions at locations across the municipality, including Niddrie library, Avondale Heights Library and Learning Centre, Flemington library, the Sam Merrifield Library, Flemington Community Centre and Ascot Vale Neighbourhood Centre.

The sessions will adopt an informal, drop-in style approach, being open to all residents, business owners and members of the general public who would like to ask questions or discuss issues with the mayor.

The face-to-face meetings were instigated by Cr Cusack when he was mayor in 2012, saying he had been inspired by observing local government at work in Ireland.

Wonderbao worth the tricky navigation Try yummy baos, a favourite of penny-pinched students

HILARY McNEVIN EATING OUT

WONDERBAO Address: Shop 4, 19–37 A’Beckett Street, Melbourne (enter via Literature Lane) Contact: 0401 178 947 Hours: Monday to Friday, 8am–5pm Unlicensed

hen you look for Wonderbao, don’t give up if at first you don’t succeed. It’s a tiny shop at the end of a small arcade off A’Beckett Street in the city and it can be tricky to locate initially.

There’s another entrance down an alleyway, Literature Lane.

Tucked in behind the city campus of RMIT, Wonderbao specialises in bao, steamed bready buns with a variety of fillings that sell at a very reasonable price and feed many of the students and workers in the area.

The restaurant opened last August

and with its bench seating along the front window and milk crates in the laneway outside to perch on if inside is full, it has quickly gained a solid following.

Order at the counter (where you’ll see enormous steam baskets in which the bao cook) from a short menu that features buns such as choi bao ($2 each with mushrooms, tofu and vegetables) or nai wong bao ($1.70 each with egg custard).

The friendly staff will soon bring you your order.

These fluffy buns are filling, so

W

Budget-friendly: Wonderbao’s steamed buns will have you going back for more.

Picture: Eddie Jim

order two or three to start with, depending on your appetite, and take it from there.

The char siu bao ($2) — you may

have heard these referred to simply as steamed pork buns — are served in a recycled cardboard container.

The bao are hot and very fresh.

The shredded pork meat has a subtle sweetness to it, it’s delicious.

Other bao fillings consist of delicious chinese sausage.

The chicken bao is dense with mince chicken meat filling and big chunks of shiitake mushroom.

The other section of the small menu includes gua bao, like a sandwich where the same style of bread wraps around the fillings.

The roast pork belly gua bao ($3.80) was one to fight over. Its wellcooked tender pork belly was dressed with pickled carrot, cucumber and hoisin sauce.

As was the fried silky tofu gua bao ($3.80), which was sweet and salty with pickled mustard, sweet soy and crushed peanuts.

Drinks are limited to juices or their housemade soy milk, but they match the food well.

So seek out Wonderbao, and don’t give up.

It’s well worth the effort.

he pockets of Melbourne lucky enough to have many residents from different countries in Africa are discovering the joys of that continent’s cuisine in all its diversity.

Many African restaurants are now getting rave reviews from food critics and diners are embracing the often pared-back dining settings with their distinctive warmth and charm.

But with such a large variety of food eaten throughout Africa’s diverse nations, it’s worth knowing what you’re in for before visiting a restaurant.

If you’re eating at a North African restaurant — think Morocco, Algeria and Egypt — you may have couscous as part of your meal as this is the main diet staple.

Spices such as saffron, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger and cloves may also be incorporated into the dishes.

When visiting a Central African restaurant, with food from Rwanda, Chad and the Democratic Republic of Congo, dishes may contain plantain (member of the banana family) and cassava (starchy vegetable,

An East African restaurant, incorporating recipes from Sudan, Ethiopia and Kenya, will major on grains and vegetables. Dishes such as ugali — a starchy, cornbased paste, similar to polenta — is often served with soups and stews.

In West African restaurants, representing countries like Ghana, Mauritania and Mali, hot spices are popular. They may be used to flavour yams and cassava. Seafood is eaten often and a common drink is palm wine, made from fermented palm sap which can be sweet or sour.

In South Africa, places like Nambia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe, fruits such as papaya, mango and banana are common, and game meat and seafood are also popular.

■ Cumbia — originating in Columbia, this is a bridge between samba and salsa, and often danced in a circular motion to flutes, maracas and African drums.

■ Danza — a Puerto Rican ballroom dance similar to the waltz, performed in a square pattern to instrumental music.

■ Paso Doble — means ‘two-step’ in Spanish, and is a lively march-like dance, representing a bull fight where the male takes the matador (bull fighter) role and the female plays his cape.

anaging director of Supersonics in Keilor, Sonia Andersen, believes the sky’s the limit for her singing and dancing school, which continues to grow in numbers and opportunities. ‘‘I’m keen to see what this year will bring,’’ says Sonia. ‘‘Our seventh year promises to be the most exciting in the school’s progression in terms of exams, competitions and what our dance crews can achieve. I’ve got my eyes focused on taking our performance troupe students to perform on a grand stage.’’

A professional, performance-based school, Supersonics offers a diverse range of styles for both genders at all skill levels. It aims to lead the way, says Sonia, in all aspects of performance and is committed to delivering cutting-edge choreography from the industry’s best teachers. ‘‘Our fairy ballet classes for three- to fiveyear-olds and dance and movement for two to four-year-olds are a great introduction to dance.’’

Learning from the best

Romance of dance atin dancing, whether it be salsa, tango or the cha cha is as much about the romance of the dance and feeling the rhythm than about the steps.

When you think about latin dance it’s often well-known ones such as the samba and rumba that spring to mind, but there are many others.

Have you heard about the ...

■ Bachata — a dance originating in the Dominican Republic, named after Bachata guitar music.

Dancers move side to side in a four-beat pattern; three steps to the side followed by a pause.

■ Capoeira — (cap-oh-ay-ra) a Brazilian martial art combining dance with music, known for quick and complex moves using power, speed and leverage for dramatic leg sweeps.

■ Lambada — synonymous with Brazilian and Caribbean culture, it’s believed to be influenced by the samba, merengue, rumba and maxixe. It’s a partnered latin dance with a quick-slow rhythm

COVER STORY

DESIGNER FLAIR \ 5 BRUCE STREET, KENSINGTON 3031

M

uch more than just a pretty face, this Hawthornbrick beauty in Kensington cleverly packages luxury and sustainability in a statement of style.

Originally a wheat master’s residence in the Kimpton Estate, the double-fronted delight of 25 squares now seamlessly combines its rich past with an exciting, hassle-free future exemplified by its Control4 home automation.

But the emphasis on quality in its imaginative design is what sets apart this charming abode from the rest.

Inside is an arched hall with Mafi floorboards, off which are four double bedrooms. The main includes walk-in robes and an ensuite with Kohler steam shower, twinbasin vanity, toilet and Chromatherapy lighting.

At the end of the hall is a marble bathroom, resplendent with corner shower, twin hand basins and an outlook to the herb wall by Joost Bakker. The decorative wall is part of a children’s play area and urban orchard.

Steps descend into the full-width rear extension.

The dining room and showpiece kitchen both open through stackable doors to one of three Jack Merlo outdoor rooms. To the left outside is the office with bookshelf and a third bathroom and laundry. But on the other side of the backyard is a bluestone-paved area shaded by a phoenix palm and complemented by a barbecue kitchen with bread/pizza oven. Beyond that lies the self-cleaning lap pool (solar and gas heated), which incorporates a rock water feature and frameless-glass fence.

Back inside, and the Poggenpohl-Miele kitchen has been designed by one of Australia’s finest chefs. It integrates stainless-steel appliances (twin ovens, single gas wok burner, induction cook-top and charcoal grill), overhead and under-bench display cabinets, Miele MasterCool (wine fridge, integrated freezer, two ice-making dispensers and filtered water) and canopy range hood.

To the right of the kitchen is the living room, which has a feature fireplace and opens on its southern side to a Japanese pond, while a spiral staircase ascends to the above-garage vegetable garden with city views. The pond is also accessible from the double garage. The house is close to Kensington Village shops and cafes, and the train.

Tough fight on cards for Coburg Districts

BY TEO PELLIZZERI ESSENDON District Football League’s new boys Coburg Districts will start life in their new surrounds with arguably the toughest opponent in division 2 after getting Hillside in the fixture released last week.

The high-profile debuts of the new-look Hillside team are sure to attract a large crowd in round one as the former Western Region Football League outfit returns to the EDFL. The Sharks have bolstered the team that lost last season’s division 2 preliminary final with a trio of former Bulldogs signings, Steve Kolyniuk as coach, and Ryan Hargrave and Mitch Hahn as players.

East Sunbury will start life in the EDFL at home in round one (April 13) with a match against Keilor Park.

The former Riddell District Football League junior club will field a senior team for the first time in a competitive match in the round one fixture.

President Peter Methven said the pre-season had looked good pre-Christmas under coach Casey Whelan. ‘‘We had quite a few numbers, more than 40 on the track,’’ he said. ‘‘That first day is going to be a big one for the club. ‘‘With the way we finished the year last year

we can be proud of what the club achieved in our first year of EDFL [juniors], but now we have to lift for the challenge of senior football.’’

Reigning division 2 premier East Keilor will start the season against Roxburgh Park. The Cougars won the grand final after the old B grade split into division 1 and division 2 last year but there was no end-of-season promotion or relegation between divisions.

Jacana hosts Moonee Valley in the other round one division 2 fixture.

Division 1 new boys Craigieburn will start their quest for redemption at home against Taylors Lakes.

The Eagles were relegated from Premier with a winless season last year while Taylors Lakes lost to Airport West in the division 1 preliminary final.

Last year’s runner-up West Coburg will play away at Glenroy in the opening round, while new-look Northern Saints will debut the Caruso brothers, Nat and Fort, against Tullamarine.

Westmeadows plays Hadfield in the other opening-round fixture.

Division 2 finals will be played on Saturdays starting August 24 and finishing with the grand final on September 7, while division 1 finals will be played on Sundays starting August 25 with the grand final on September 8.

The Premier division fixture is expected to be released soon.

A fine mess: Roxburgh Park-Broadmeadows wicketkeeper Cameron D’Cruz goes up as Maribyrnong Park-St Marys’ Daniel Bugeja is bowled.

Strathmore’s Sanders puts the lid on Altona North

BY TEO PELLIZZERI A DEVASTATING pre-stumps spell from Scott Sanders has Strathmore poised to continue as ladder leader in Victorian Turf Cricket Association’s North Division.

Strathmore put 219 on the board against Altona North before Sanders’ 3-11 off four overs had the visitors to Syd McGain Oval reeling at 4-34 at stumps.

Nick Bergin (65) and Lucas Kennedy (36) had earlier saved Strathmore from 4-43 with a 107-run partnership.

Strathmore needs the points to stay on top with second-placed Tullamarine well on the way to winning outright against Laverton. Tullamarine was all out for 176 batting first and rolled Laverton for 57 in the first dig. Another 10 overs before stumps left Laverton at 4-26 in the second innings.

In North A1, PEGS already has the firstinnings points against Aberfeldie Park (95) after making 3-97 by stumps.

Paul Shipp took four wickets to lead the PEGS

attack. Aberfeldie’s Gavin McCallum (4-59) and Jordan Cahir (3-29) extracted Taylors Lakes for 211, while Moonee Valley (2-11) got into late trouble chasing 178 against Seddon.

East Keilor will be battling against outright defeat this weekend after being bowled out for 65, before St Albans made 189 in reply.

In Senior Division, it was a horror day chasing leather for St Bernards, capped by a pair of late wickets.

South Caulfield made 8-324 batting first before St Bernards lost two wickets in the five overs before stumps, set to resume on 2-3 this weekend.

Airport West-St Christophers also lost two late wickets but is still evenly poised against McKinnon (238 all out), finishing 2-41 at stumps.

In Twenty20 action, quarter-finals start tonight with Doutta Stars heading to Crofts Reserve to face Altona North.

Other matches tonight pit Greenvale against Haig Fawkner and Carnegie against Port Melbourne. Old Mentonians play Hampton in the last quarter-final on Thursday.

Beavers’ McPherson blasts century BUCKLEY Park moved a step closer to safety in the Luscombe Shield top four after a Mark McPherson century set up a monster total on day one against Aberfeldie-St Johns. The Beavers compiled 6-322 batting first before capturing a wicket before stumps.

Opener McPherson scored 108 and John Markham made an unbeaten 63. Aberfeldie-St Johns reached stumps at 1-40, still needing 283.

McPherson wasn’t the only century-maker on Saturday, with Kealba-Green Gully’s Andrew Lambropoulos blazing 179 not out as his team

posted 3-343 against Roxburgh ParkBroadmeadows (2-32 at stumps).

Strathmore Heights made 309 as Sean Neilson (49), Christopher Butt (67) and Joel Kolep (81) contributed to the score against SydenhamHillside, who slumped to 3-18 at stumps.

In Keith Stringer Shield, Maribyrnong Park-St Marys made 197 at Walsh Oval batting first before Roxburgh Park-Broadmeadows reached 1-46 in reply at stumps.

INBRIEF Premier Cricket

in a two-dayer starting this weekend.

Essendon made a fast start defending 200 against Carlton but couldn’t stop former NSW wicketkeeper Nathan Pilon as the Blues won by four wickets on Saturday. Daniel Slevison (3-46) struck twice early to have Carlton in trouble at 2-4, but Lachlan McKenna (67) steadied the Blues before being joined at the crease at 3-49 by Pilon.

Pilon made 91 in a 146-run stand with McKenna, with a late Essendon double-strike failing to rattle the tailenders. The Bombers face Melbourne next
