Draft Essendon Junction Structure Plan

Niddrie public toilet upgrade

Council has developed a draft Essendon Junction Structure Plan and is calling for community feedback.

Essendon Junction is a nominated neighbourhood activity centre. This means it will continue to grow and accommodate more people and more homes.

Council’s role is to develop a long-term plan, called a structure plan, for the centre which will guide any changes and ensure that: • growth is managed appropriately • new locations for community facilities are identified • transport infrastructure improvements are coordinated • there is a clear advocacy plan for State Government projects Find out more at the following events: Information session: Thursday, 25 June, 6pm-8pm Drop-in sessions: Thursday, 2 July, 1pm-6.30pm or Saturday, 4 July 2015, 10am-2pm Venue: Ukrainian House, 3-11 Russell Street, Essendon View the draft plan and have your say at mvcc.vic.gov.au/essendonjunction or call 9243 8888.

The deadline for feedback is Friday, 17 July.

Council is upgrading the public toilet at the junction of Keilor Road and Matthews Avenue in Niddrie.

The improvement works include: • a new layout and complete refurbishment of the existing male and female toilets • a new accessible toilet with baby change facilities • new paved areas, seating and rendered external walls • additional safety features including external lighting, fencing and the removal of hiding spots Construction is likely to be completed in October. The public toilet is closed during this time but the toilets at Niddrie Library, located at 483 Keilor Road, are available for use.

For further information call Council on 9243 8888 or visit mvcc.vic.gov.au/publictoilets

Moonee Ponds junction tram works

Community information session Yarra Trams and Public Transport Victoria (PTV) plan to build raised platform stops at Moonee Ponds junction for Routes 59 and 82 in order to: • offer a safer area for passengers to board and alight from trams • provide passenger facilities such as shelters and information screens • make it easier for passengers to get on and off trams The upgrade will require the reconfiguration of Moonee Ponds junction and relocation of the Route 82 terminus to Pascoe Vale Road, east of Mt Alexander Road. At the same time, 800 metres of tram track will be replaced on Pascoe Vale Road from the junction to Wilson Street.

The project is proposed to start in mid-January 2016 and is expected to take nine days to complete.

Yarra Trams and PTV are calling for community feedback until 9 July. Have your say by attending a drop-in information session: When: Thursday, 25 June, 4.30pm-6.30pm Where: Clocktower Centre, 750 Mt Alexander Road, Moonee Ponds For more information, including plans and artist impressions, visit yarratrams.com.au or call 1800 800 007.

NEVERENDING STORY

TIME TO CHILL

Premiere luxury tipple LVMH’s Belvedere Vodka is the result of centuries of Polish vodka-making tradition.

Created from Polish Dankowski rye and quadruple distilled, it’s entirely free of additives, is gluten-free and smooth as.

It’s perfect for creating great cocktails such as this blue cheese and quince quench, a liquid take on a savoury favourite that combines Belvedere Unfiltered, quince purée, lemon and blue cheese. Or head to Circa, The Prince, where this cocktail ($19) and other Belvedere martinis are on offer this month to celebrate World Martini Day on June 19. ●

It was the shock of being made redundant that sparked Australian-born, New Zealand-bred fashion creative director Laurinda Sutcliffe’s vision for a new fashion brand.

Five years on Loobie’s Story is a label that tells a personal journey of reinvention, through a merging of urban essentials and exotic everyday items, inspired by global cultures and influences. Laurinda told www.fashionz.co.nz: “It is about coming to terms with who you are and who you want to be.” ●

It’s cold, we get it, but our thoughts are turning to ice-cream thanks to Melbourne’s first Mexican paleta ice-cream store.

Derived from the Spanish word “palo” (meaning stick) and “eta” (flat frozen item), ChillBro ice-creams are made from real ingredients in intriguing flavour combinations such as hibiscus, sea salt and brown sugar popcorn, strawberry mint and pavlova. The store opened in Menzies Alley in Melbourne Central recently, underneath the new Saigon Square, which has a menu inspired by traditional, home-cooked Vietnamese meals, from less than $10. ●

arlier this year, when TWR asked readers Ewoman, to nominate Australia’s most inspiring Julie Bishop was among the top

three most popular choices. She’s been on our interview wish-list ever since.

You may not agree with her politics but few could dispute that Australia’s first female Foreign Minister has barely put a Louboutin-clad foot wrong since taking on the role in September 2013.

While so many of those alongside her in government have stumbled and gaffed, she has remained poised, considered and apparently unassailable. But who is the woman behind the immaculate Armani suits and famously steely stare?

Securing an hour-long, one-on-one interview with arguably Australia’s most powerful woman is no easy task, but Peter Wilmoth managed to sit down with her on a recent weekend in Melbourne for a coffee and a surprisingly candid chat about life outside the minister’s office.

For an insight into the woman behind the title, including why she loves Sex and the City and Jeff Buckley, read Peter’s revealing interview inside.

Also this week, Myke Bartlett gets an advance sneak peek at the Melbourne Cabaret Festival, while Cheryl Critchley asks the experts how we can help our teens deal with frightening situations.

It makes for fascinating reading. ●

MOUTHING OFF VIRGINIA TRIOLI ON THE THIRD R AIL

S

“i’m really not sure our politicians get how big a deal this is”

(ISTOCK \ THINKSTOCK)

ometimes only an Americanism will do.

I think all columnists owe US House Speaker Tip O’Neill a great debt for coining the phrase “the third rail of politics” to describe the one untouchable issue of political life that, if broached by the foolhardy politician, will at least result in electrocution, if not death.

The third rail is the exposed electrical conductor that carries the high-voltage power for an electric train line. On some American and European lines it is clearly visible, even accessible – a clear and present danger, much like public policy usually is.

In the US, the politcal third rail has always been cutting social security, for which the term was coined. But here, amid the overheated and under-lit debate about housing affordability, the third rail is surely the issue of negative gearing – and for reasons that to me seem to be increasingly less persuasive.

It’s a piece of accepted wisdom: negative gearing is untouchable and no political party

(except for the Greens) would dare to change it for fear of (variously): ● angering the business, investment and construction community; ● killing off residential investment; ● endangering the rental market; ● risking a political backlash at the ballot box.

I’m quite sure that, once upon a time, all the above was true, but I don’t think it’s the

case any more. Negative gearing might be one of those issues, like marriage equality, where politicians are going to be dragged to legislative change by the electorate: not everyone in the electorate, I grant, but enough to make resistance on the issue foolish.

The Bureau of Statistics reveals that property investors now outstrip owner-occupiers as borrowers, and that home mortgagees are at their lowest level on record: this at a time of astonishing building and development in this country.

Sure, new greenfield sites might not be as common as they once were, but never have we built so much. Investors are doing very well out of a hot market with low interest rates, so much so that Treasury is prepared to call the housing situation a bubble. No one needs to be told just how dishearteningly high house prices are for those trying to get a toe-hold in the market.

Leading economist Saul Eslake is emphatic on this issue: closing the tax break that is negative gearing would not only free up housing stock for owner-occupiers, but would provide a $4 billion windfall to the budget.

His vision is that the tax break be closed only to new entrants – therefore those with investment properties already in place won’t panic and flood the market with properties.

But, more importantly, an angry, disenfranchised and growing part of the

voting public would have their very real needs recognised and a key policy change might actually result in some social equity returning to an increasingly excluding housing market.

I’m really not sure our politicians get how big a deal this is: many professional, two-income families simply cannot afford to buy in some metropolitan markets – if they are not prepared for a two-hour commute and the high costs that come with that – and our rental market is in no way ready to adjust to the European approach of lifelong, rent-adjusted tenancies.

The sense of fear and rising panic among some young people who realise they simply can’t afford to buy is incredibly sad: what a way to start a professional and family life.

I don’t think the major parties realise this third rail might have lost much of its power, and the real political death will lie in wait for the government – or opposition – that does nothing about housing affordability. ● Virginia Trioli is co-host of ABC News Breakfast on ABC1 and ABC News 24, 6-9am weekdays

JUNE 17, 2015 \ THE WEEKLY REVIEW 9

PETER WILMOTH meets Foreign Minister Julie Bishop

I

t’s Saturday morning in Melbourne and Julie Bishop is having coffee in the city.

She’s just flown in from New Zealand and, even on a weekend, faces a typically busy day, but she has found an hour to give us – no easy feat in a life as packed as hers.

Amid the tourists in the lobby and the passers-by on Little Collins Street, she impeccably dressed, with an efficient, friendly and, often, endearingly mischievous air.

She has the demeanor of both measured seriousness and seeming to be ready for, and then relishing, a good laugh. As a politician on the world stage, not to mention a much-mentioned alternative prime minister, this has been a most successful cocktail.

Everywhere she goes, Australia’s first female Foreign Minister is the talk of the town. She is quoted daily about often complex issues in her large and challenging ministry. She is never far from discussion about the government’s fortunes. On the morning of our interview, there is commentary in The Australian about the “Bishop resurgence”.

It’s been a tumultuous time for the former law firm partner from West Australia, whose work since taking office in September 2013 has included a fraught period overseeing Australia’s response to the MH17 disaster, in which 38 Australians lost their lives, and flying to New York to chair the UN Security Council meeting to discuss responses. Add to that the disappearance of Malaysian Airlines MH370, the ebola crisis and her dogged attempts to avert the executions of Andrew

a habit to run as often as possible early in the morning. It clears my mind and keeps me focused for the day. That’s the plan.”

And her reported adherence to healthy food? “I’m no saint,” she says. “I’m happy to talk about keeping fit but as far as nutrition and eating healthy foods, I aspire to do that.”

How does she wind back from the rigours of the role? “Usually with friends or staff.

We will sit around and talk about the day’s events. And I have a busy social life. I have a lot of friends so where I have an opportunity to meet up with friends, I will do that. I also have a very close and loving family and I’ll talk to them. If it’s just me, I’ll read or listen to music.”

She listens to her iPod when jogging. It might be U2 or her favourite song of all time, Hallelujah – Jeff Buckley’s version, which she says is “hauntingly beautiful”. “The music of your youth brings a particular smile to your face,” she says. “The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Duran Duran, Eagles. When I had time, I went to a lot of concerts.”

S

he spends most of her time reading briefing papers but sometimes finds time to read for pleasure – books on Condoleezza Rice and Margaret Thatcher, and novels over the summer break.

Is it hard to break away from this intense life? “I’m reasonably relaxed. I can turn off.

But the fact is you never really do because in this role as Foreign Minister there is always an issue that can arise overseas that will require

Peter & Julie And there are other releases, such as fashion. “I enjoy fashion,” she says. “I’ve been wearing Armani for many, many years. It fits and it works and it’s classic.”

She likes French shoe designer Christian Louboutin (“I have been known to wear a pair or two”) and Italian Sergio Rossi.

“It’s a question of if I see something and I like it and I think it will work,” she says. “I tend not to buy clothes that I feel will too easily go out of fashion. So I tend to stick to classics that I can wear at any time anywhere.”

Since childhood, she has spent a lot of time in Melbourne. “I’ve always visited Melbourne. I grew up in South Australia

Bishop moves Chan and Myuran Sukumaran in Bali.

During a difficult time for the government, she has been the stand-out minister, not just for her well-articulated representations on a range of issues and occasionally mopping up after her leader, but also for the style and accessibility with which she does it.

She has been variously described as the “politician du jour”, “the Liberal Party’s next big thing” and, often, a future prime minister.

But away from the high-octane professional life, what happens behind the scenes?

Over coffee I suggest to her that the public observation is that she uses charm and empathy to disarm people. “I’m driven by the desire to get the best possible outcome for Australia and Australian people,” she says.

She rarely has a break from the job. So how does she reclaim herself from the political maelstrom? “To a certain extent it’s my life experience and my training,” she says. “I was a lawyer for 20 years before I entered politics and that instills in you a certain discipline in terms of mastering a brief and getting on top of the detail and I guess that never leaves you.

“I’ve always believed that you need inexhaustible supplies of energy for this type of commitment so I try to keep fit and healthy and that assists given the gruelling travel schedule …”

She goes for a run whenever she can. “It is

your attention. Over the summer holidays, I never actually take time off in the sense that I’m never not available.”

I asked if she ever felt exhausted. “Yes, I get tired,” she says. “Note to self – get more sleep.”

Facing a fight in the House, Paul Keating famously listened to Wagner very loudly at home, imagining the gods hurling bolts of lightning. I ask how she charges herself up for a fierce political debate. It’s a less dramatic style, than the former PM: “We have a meeting with the staff, we sit around and talk about the issues of the day,” she says.

Does it ever become too much and all crowd in on her? “No, I’m exhilarated by it,” she says. “I find it an enormous privilege to have this job as Australia’s Foreign Minister and it’s as challenging as I could wish for in terms of a career. So I make the most of every moment.”

But there must be evenings away from it all, a chance to throw together a meal? “I live in Perth, I work in Canberra, I spend a lot of time in the cities around the country, I spend time in marginal seats and I spend time overseas. So we’re talking about a hotel room, an apartment or my home in Perth … I tend not to cook for myself because I would be out most nights of the week [on official duties].”

She will allow herself a sit-down to watch the American political drama House of Cards.

10 THE WEEKLY REVIEW MOONEE VALLEY \ JUNE 17, 2015

and our school days and university days were intermingled with Melbourne. My school would visit Melbourne. In university days I was very good friends with guys from Melbourne Grammar, Old Melburnians.

I went skiing with friends from Melbourne, in Victoria. I’ve got very close friends here.

“Growing up, my parents used to holiday in Melbourne. We’d all drive here and stay in St Kilda. I’ve had a very long association with the city.”

There have been newspaper reports about her partner, property developer David Panton, with whom she has been photographed. But she won’t be drawn. “I’d rather not. I’m not hiding anything but that’s a part of my life I try and keep very separate and to keep it separate is a good thing.”

I ask whether she sometimes pines for those commitment-free nights at home, the trackie-dak nights.

“I can’t remember the last one. I know those nights. I remember them, fondly. I have this incredible opportunity to be Australia’s Foreign Minister and I’m not going to waste a moment of it.

words on The role of gender I tend not to describe my life through the prism of gender. I’ve been criticised for that in the past but I’m the deputy leader of the Liberal Party, the first female to [have that role]. I’m Australia’s first female foreign minister. And it would be very churlish of me to say that I’ve been held back because I’m a woman.

So I am grateful for the opportunities I’ve been given and I’ve certainly taken the opportunities that have presented themselves, but I don’t think gender has played a role in where I am today. It is, as far as I can see, about your hard work, your judgment, your competence, your capacity to deal with issues as they arise.

I hope that’s how I’ve been judged.

On Julia Gillard’s misogyny speech I was very disappointed that she portrayed herself as a victim in circumstances where we were actually having a debate about the fitness of the then occupant of the Speaker’s job for a role because of some particularly unsavoury text messages he’d been sending to a junior male staffer.

I thought it was a massive distraction from the very serious issue that we were seeking to debate that day.

On sex & the city I’ve seen every episode of Sex and the City City.

I met [writer] Candace Bushnell. We did a TV show together. She was the other guest.

That was a great moment to meet her and chat about clothes. [Starstruck?] A little.

Such an extraordinary TV series. It’s had such an impact on the way women see themselves and brought high fashion into the lounge rooms of women.

On claims that journalist Sarah Ferguson’s question to Joe Hockey on ABC TV’s 7.30 “would have given the impression of bias” Cherry picker: Julie Bishop at her family’s cherry orchard, Bishop Orchards, in the Adelaide Hills. (CALUM ROBERTSON \ NEWSPIX)

I thought it was a pretty tough interview but Joe didn’t complain about it so on that basis it’s up to the independent, objective judges of it.

On journalists I think there are some very good journalists in Australia and a number with some very good interviewing techniques.

Those who I think gain the most out of the interviews are those who don’t interrupt and actually allow people to talk.

You often find that the best stories, or the gems, come from when there’s silence and somebody fills in the silence as opposed to if you’re constantly interrupted as an interviewee – you tend to become more defensive and therefore more careful about what you say. ● JUNE 17, 2015 \ THE WEEKLY REVIEW 11

’ve spent hours on fake work this week. Fake work is an excellent new practice made possible by the internet, and means you can spend hours at your desk appearing as if you are frantically working but instead you are looking at properties for sale in far north Queensland.

Fake work is trawling recipe sites, playing Candy Crush Saga and checking the news, all of which can take a lot of time and distract from the task at hand, which is often real work or someone calling you to help with dinner.

Fake work is time on Facebook. It can be justified – in some cases legitimately depending on your line of work – as market research or gauging the important issues of the day. Checking the photos of people Facebook suggests you could know (even though you know you don’t) is definitely fake-work, as is dropping in and out of celebrities-who-married-ugly-people sites and anything to do with Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner.

A lot of it goes on around here because the other adult in the house is a freelance

freelancer who coined the phrase and then set about perfecting the art. He can make himself look incredibly busy when he is actually making Dropbox files of holiday snaps and putting members of his family in JibJab videos. It has rubbed off on my oldest daughter, too, who can spend a good deal of homework time searching YouTube for music and make-up tutorials.

And this week I’ve reached my own PB in fake-work time. I’ve justified it because I’ve just come out of a super-busy period with work, where there was no time for anything other than putting my head down and getting on with it and so I did.

Now that things have slowed down, hours and hours have disappeared down the tunnel that is real estate and life-off-the-grid sites.

I’ve also found myself checking and rechecking Facebook like a maniac (and being disappointed every time) and even contemplating getting back into the swing of Twitter and Instagram, all because I now have a little more extra time to put other things off.

And I’ve discovered many other excellent ways to be thoroughly busy doing non-essential things, in order to put off achieving the essential things I have to do.

Like, I dashed out to the shops because I desperately needed one tomato. I actually folded and ironed the washing, including the tea towels, which is unheard of in these

parts, and I cooked three nights’ dinners in one because that has always seemed a super-organised and efficient thing to do. Not so much, though, if you’re doing it only to avoid work.

I have also organised flights online for a school holiday trip but didn’t finish the transaction and I’m not sure why but I either procrastinated or may have been distracted by something else vitally important (lack of tomato even).

Anyway …

Right now, well, I just looked into getting my car detailed because the interior situation is well beyond what might usually be sorted by a vacuum. I realised it was ridiculously expensive so decided the only real solution was to buy a new car. So I’ve since been trawling car-dot-com sites, which you know takes hours and hours. ● khall@theweeklyreview.com.au

room doubles as a fast-paced lunch joint are its glossy black subway tiles and café equipment in a darkened corner.

The venue, known as 5 Points Deli downstairs and Longhorn Saloon upstairs, looks more like a movie-set tavern, modelled on and named after a bar the owners, brothers Will and Mick Balleau (Chingon, Le Bon Ton), recall from their youth in New Mexico.

Unforgettable walls – the brothers had recycled copper fashioned into pressed metal panels in their other venues too – create a rose-gold glow over theatrically bucolic furnishings and distressed floors.

The ripper five-page cocktail list is affirming. Consider the sassy Final Word (no, not mine): rye whisky, yellow chartreuse, sweet maraschino with fresh lemon. It’s a pool of liquid gold, delivered without embellishment. “Doesn’t need it,” says our bartender.

Staff are gracious and efficient. When we head upstairs for a peek, we’re told about the metamorphosis from conservative German restaurant Muttis late last year, using environmentally preferred polystyrene beams and recycled building materials.

Back at the table, steamed local mussels, with beery breath, bob in a chilli-infused

broth, flecked with nuggets of golden corn. We didn’t receive the promised jalapeno bread, but a crusty substitute mopped up these feisty flavours with aplomb.

Barbecue shrimp tacos were noteworthy for their texture and generosity of seafood, and the zing of crisp jicama and fresh pineapple.

We were warned the honey-smoked pork loin with creole grits, braised greens and smokey Le Bon Ton sauce was a challenge.

at breakfast with the locals in Barcelona’s Boqueria market, it may be no surprise at all.

From its unique – and horribly underrated – sherries in southern Andalucia to the elegant wines made from the red grape mencia in Bierzo in the north, it’s hard to know where to start when talking about Spanish wine.

There’s just over a million hectares of vineyards between the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts and they produce wines that range from a couple of euros a bottle up to a couple of thousand.

Ask for a glass of blanco or tinto in a bar or bodega and you’ll be drinking a white or red at the lower end of the scale. The wine might be a bit rough and ready, too. But in the right hands these cheaper wines, often from huge, unheralded regions in Spain’s central plateau, which has scorching days and cold nights, can be real bargains. ● BEN THOMAS bthomas@theweeklyreview.com.au

As well as chasing new punters, David and co-founder Neville Sice were determined this year to open their doors to a much broader range of performers. To this end, they recruited people from other disciplines – comedians, jazz artists and opera singers. The result is a program packed with 30 new shows, many from artists who haven’t performed cabaret before.

It sounds a bold decision.

“Some people may say brave, we say exciting.

I’ve always been of the view that cabaret is one of the most difficult art forms to master, because it’s you up there.

“Cabaret allows people to be centre-stage, demonstrate all the skills they’ve got and tell their own stories. That can be quite daunting, but it’s also what gives cabaret a real vibrancy and makes it exciting to be in the audience.” ● mbartlett@theweeklyreview.com.au

t’s a big year for the Melbourne Cabaret Festival. Over the past six years, the festival has expanded from its home at the Butterfly Club to set up shop in venues all across the city.

The 2015 lineup kicks off on Thursday with Rob Mills hosting a gala at St Kilda’s Alex Theatre and wraps up 10 days later with a spectacular finale at Melba Spiegeltent in Collingwood.

Festival co-founder and cabaret stalwart David Read says past seasons have presented challenges, but things are looking brighter with the award of an unprecedented $50,000 state government grant.

“We’ve always had a belief that Melbourne audiences were ready for us,” David says.

“Melbourne cabaret performers were achieving success nationally and internationally, but not so much in their home town. We felt starting a festival was the best way to shine a spotlight on the art form. And it’s certainly done that.”

There has been renewed interest in cabaret in recent years, following a tsunami of burlesque shows. But David says he’s keen to draw in audiences who have never been to cabaret before.

Leap by Myfanwy Jones » (Allen & Unwin) www.myfanwyjones.com

This vivid, poetic Melbourne novel entwines two narratives driven by grief. Twenty-something Joe is beached in a run-down share house, unable to move on from the death of his first love. On the other side of the city, Elise is mourning her lost daughter, while her marriage disintegrates.

Myfanwy balances the stasis of her all-too-real characters with language that bolts along, almost too fast for its syntax to follow. It’s immersive, heart-bruising stuff. ●

“In macho Australia,” says narrator Terence Stamp, “the bravest men wore dresses.”

This sweet, lively and candid doco uses an Aussie screen classic as an excuse to uncover our nation’s bumpy history with gay rights. Through writer and director Stephan Elliott’s journey from inspiration to Cannes triumph, we’re granted a personal tour of Sydney’s drag scene as it moves from underground clubs into the mainstream.

Along the way, there are glimpses of persecution but the film is as uplifting as its inspiration. ●

Record number two from this chart-topping Melbourne sextet is serene, gossamer electronica. Built on stuttering beats, hand claps, sighing vocals and synth surges, the album is halfway between Lamb and the Bee Gees, with the fragile humanity of Bon Iver. Single Foolish is a disco thing about lust gone wrong, while Crunches is bouncy, slightly spooky pop. ●

GOING CLEAR True stories are often the most FILM unlikely. By turns gripping, frightening and heartbreaking, this bold exposé of scientology feels halfway between conspiracy thriller and savage satire. The organisation has a reputation for being as brutal as it is ridiculous, and director Alex Gibney serves up examples of both. Ultimately, his film feels less like an indictment of a religion than a document on the dangers of ideology, our need for self-deception and the machinations of big business.

She is the Essendon Athletics Club overall champion and club triple-jump record-holder with a 13-metre, 65-centimetre achievement. She also holds the Australian national triple-jump title and is third-time concurrent state champion. Her feats cross the Tasman to her former home of New Zealand, where her Essendon record is a national benchmark.

Where do you go for a great hot chocolate?

The Premises serves a sweet drop that is gluten and nut-free, with organic coconut blossom sugar.

To represent Australia in the Olympics I have to improve.

It’s freezing, but I work out in all weather.

When friends come from out of town?

I moved from New Zealand in 2012 and joined the Essendon athletics club, so I have relatives and friends who come over and we go to The Quiet Man, especially on Sundays where they have traditional Irish bands. I love the folk music.

For a pick-me-up?

I like a sauna and spa at the Ascot Vale Leisure Centre; it’s good for my body and muscles to relax.

For a serious pampering?

I love a manicure and pedicure at Nails 4 U – the brighter the polish, the better.

For a serious workout?

I work out five days a week for about 2½ hours on jumping and sprinting at the club, as well as at the club’s gym.

OVER THE FENCE

How we met

Film buff Chris Ball (left) set up Rapallo, a tiny old-style cinema for friends complete with velvet curtains and popcorn. His mate, Peter Wallace, was at its red-carpet opening 10 years ago.

C H R I S & P E T E R \ S T R AT H M O R E

P E T E R WA L L AC E \ 6 6

I was a Qantas flight attendant for 33 years until I retired last November. I met Peter in the 1980s through friends when he was a Hoyts cinema manager. I’d just moved from Sydney and we clicked because we loved films.

We don’t just share a love of movies; we’re both members of the Cinema and Theatre Historical Society of Australia because we love grand old theatres.

Ten years ago I converted my garage in Strathmore to the Rapallo Boutique Cinema, adding all the theatrics from yesteryear like the curtains that open to reveal the screen.

The name Rapallo is based on a theatre of the same name in Russell Street, which closed in the mid-1980s.

I originally opened my home cinema for Qantas long-haul flight workmates and friends but this year I opened it to the public.

Unlike shopping complex theatres, my cinema has a sense of occasion, perhaps like the Astor Theatre, but only seats 14.

Peter and I share a sense of occasion for good theatre, as well as a love of good films, like North by Northwest. We share a cup of tea and talk about movies, nothing else. Our friendship is very rewarding; we talk the same talk. Sometimes people think we are like Margaret and David [Margaret Pomeranz and David Stratton, former ABC film reviewers]. ●

I was the manager of the Hoyts Northland cinema multiplex when it opened in 1987 – the year I met Chris through mutual friends.

We both love film; that is the glue that connected us. It still does.

We have seen so many changes in this industry, like when Chris got a stereo video [player] and we could see our old favourites with his stereo sound system. The TV was the biggest you could get, about 24 inches (about 61 centimetres); you’d laugh at that size now.

Chris got a DVD projector system when he was in Dean Street, Moonee Ponds. It was the first time I saw this kind of in-home installation. We’d have big nights there with friends when Chris did things like having lucky seat prizes for the handful of us who attended. I won one – a bottle of bubbly.

I went to the opening night of his boutique cinema and you can’t believe it is in a converted garage. It is intimate, with a feel of old-style cinema where the lights dim and the curtains open. His theatre has personality.

Chris has a personality too; he shows classics and art-house films, like Leviathan, a Russian film I recently saw; I had a choc-top too. ●

FIGHT OR FLIGHT? CHERYL CRITCHLEY asks how we can help teenagers deal with frightening situations

A

s I walked home from a city office late one day in my early 20s, I was mugged in broad daylight by a weedy guy who ran past and grabbed my handbag. I clung to the strap for dear life while the brazen crook literally dragged me along the footpath for about 50 metres until it broke.

I then yelled at him and he took off – minus the bag. I returned to the office with heavy grazing on my legs, but proud of the fact that he didn’t get my precious contact book – these were the days before mobile phones. But was I stupid to fight back? What if he’d pulled a gun or a knife? I still shudder at the thought.

Now I have two teenage daughters and a 12-year-old son, all of whom walk and ride the streets alone and with friends. What do I tell them to do if they’re approached by a dodgy stranger? I’m not overly worried about their safety, because they are sensible and the crime rate is no higher now than it was when we were young. But they do need to be

Y W H AT T H E E X P E R T S S A prepared. The awful March stabbing death of Doncaster teenager Masa Vukotic, who was on an evening walk, shows we are not immune from danger.

Former policeman Brent Sanders, who has spoken to 500,000 school students about personal safety, agrees parents should not be paranoid about their teenagers’ safety on the streets – but they do need to arm them with the skills to defend themselves.

He says if someone is after your bag, you need to weigh up whether it’s worth the fight, and maybe let them take it. But when someone is intent on causing physical harm or sexual abuse in a public place, he says the intended victim should fight back. He says in 90 per cent of cases where a victim yells, fights and runs from their attacker, they escape.

In the case of a sex attack, where possible, he suggests feigning consent to relax a potential offender before bolting. “The worst thing you can do is be passive,” he says. ● ccritchley@theweeklyreview.com.au

Should parents do what ever it takes to keep their kids happy?

THE FORMER POLICEMAN

T H E S C H O O L P R I N C I PA L

I’ve got a daughter in year 12 and I never stop her going out. But I tell girls her age to be cautious about who they trust. The big issue for them isn’t strangers, it’s their social environment.

The most dangerous time is not being at a party, it’s when they leave.

A guy might gain a girl’s trust by pretending to be nice, then sexually assault her when she leaves with him and they are alone.

Whether it’s someone they know or a stranger, I tell girls to feign consent to make the offender relax, then fight back and run.

It is rare for a sex attacker to have a weapon and many are weak. These guys fear being caught, but 80 per cent of girls in this situation don’t offer resistance. Yelling and screaming and fighting actually gives them a 90 per cent likelihood of the guy running off.

You generally know from the outset what he’s after. If they’re just after your bag, you might be better off letting them take it.

Some petty thieves are heroin or methadone addicts. You’ve got to question whether fighting back for the contents of your bag is worth the health risk. ● BRENT SANDERS Former policeman who now consults about workplace bullying and personal safety.

Trust is central to community safety. We want our girls to feel free to think and act wherever they are and to develop healthy relationships with people who care and support them. This is key to their development into adulthood, and parents can play a crucial role in this by building their daughter’s general resilience.

Women have the right to be safe and schools also have a responsibility to give them the tools to think and act with courage. This is not borne of heroism or foolish acts of bravery, rather a deep-seated knowledge of how to act to avoid, or fight off an unwanted advance or attacker.

We can pretend that such acts will not occur but the evidence is to the contrary. Women are the targets of violence perpetrated mainly by men; educating young men to respect girls is equally important. Education is for life and, as part of a partnership with parents, confronting areas such as this gives our girls the skills they need to be confident young women, wherever they are. Parents and schools need to arm them with knowledge and a strong belief that they can act, think and protect themselves. ● HEATHER NORTON Firbank Grammar School principal

natural wonders Outdoor living and stunning landscapes appeal at this dramatic estate

V

alley Lake estate, in Keilor East, is located in a visually stunning pocket of the thriving north-west, where land formations not normally associated with the residential areas of Melbourne create an atmosphere at once dramatic and protective.

It is built on sloping land that was once Niddrie Quarry. Basalt for road paving was mined there from the 1940s until 1975.

The Urban Land Corporation, now Places Victoria, bought the site in 2000 and work on the estate began a decade ago. The first land release was in 2006.

The 48-hectare estate is secluded, with just a couple of roads into it, and is defined by stunning escarpments formed four million years ago that gives it a distinctive character and an atmosphere found nowhere else in Melbourne. Because it is so well-defined, and with limited entry roads, it is like a naturally gated community.

More than 180 houses have been built and, when finished, there will be 580 houses on the estate. They will be primarily single-family houses, with some medium-density housing.

A lot of the blocks in the estate are on sloping 22 THE WEEKLY REVIEW \ JUNE 17, 2015

land and this has resulted in stunning, architect-designed houses complemented by creative landscaping.

In 2011, Valley Lake won the Urban Development Institute of Australia’s Victorian urban renewal award in recognition of the barriers overcome to bring new life to the site.

Places Victoria is selling Stage 7B in the Lake View Release. The blocks range in size up to 754 square metres and have excellent views of Niddrie Lake, the cliff and across the estate, with some lots directly opposite

the lake. Water is a feature of the estate, with Niddrie Lake, wetlands and Steele Creek, a tributary of the Maribyrnong River, running through it. The water, naturally, attracts birdlife and this has been celebrated with The Ornithologist, a dramatic piece of public art in Niddrie Lake at the northern end.

With about 30 hectares of open space, the estate is a place that encourages enjoyment of the outdoors and a healthy way of life.

Walking trails have been incorporated into the estate itself, and the Steele Creek shared trail for walkers and cyclists, which forms a shortcut between the Western Ring Road Trail in the north and the Maribyrnong River Trail in the south, runs through the estate.

Niddrie Lake is flanked by boardwalks and has barbecues on its shore. The Cliff Top Walk gives fantastic views in all directions.

Peregrine Park, with its basketball court and playground, is a great place to have a family picnic or kick a footy, and P.A.Kirchner Reserve is natural parkland.

The area is well-geared for families, although they are not the only buyers.

Single people and downsizers have also been attracted to the charms of Valley Lake.

Access to Melbourne and Essendon airports is fast and fuss-free and the estate has attracted pilots and other airline employees.

Excellent primary and secondary schools are nearby – including Penleigh and Essendon Grammar, with its dramatic new buildings signalling yet another stage of evolution in the school’s history. Essendon Keilor College is to the south of Valley Lake and Keilor Heights Primary is just a couple of streets away. Also nearby are St Bernard’s College, St John Bosco’s Primary, Rosehill Secondary College and Lowther Hall Anglican Grammar.

Valley Lake is 15 minutes from the city in off-peak times and has excellent access to Calder and Tullamarine freeways and the Western Ring Road. Bus services operate on the perimeter of the estate and bus services in the area are being revised. ● BEVERLEY JOHANSON bjohanson@theweeklyreview.com.au

Barbecues and picnic areas are well-equipped.

Football, cricket and tennis clubs have good memberships and hard-fought competitions. Golf course, tennis courts and swimming pools are a short drive away.

Keilor East Leisure Centre has swimming lessons in a heated pool for infants through to adults, health and fitness programs, a full gym with more than 60 pieces of equipment, a cardio room and group exercise facilities.

Classes include body pump, body combat, aquacise and zumba. Birthday parties can be held at the centre.

Keilor Park Recreation Reserve has a wave slide, scrambling wall and climber among its play equipment and there is also a basketball court, barbecues and huge open spaces.

Rosehill Skate Park is a concrete park with banks, quarters, fun box, ledges and a flat bar.

ike Finch’s work with Circus Oz has taken him around the world, but as he prepares to leave his role as artistic director at the end of June, his sights are on a much smaller picture – turning his Leyland bus into a mobile theatre. “I bought the bus as an empty shell, put a Kombi van on the roof and rebuilt it with the help of friends,” says Mike, who has been living in the bus at Circus Oz’s Collingwood site for the past few months. “Nothing is fitted in permanently; the furniture can be removed and rows of chairs put in to create a micro theatre, with the shower room as a stage.” After 17 years with Circus Oz, he’s looking forward to a break. “The theatre is like a personal hobby – after directing a whole circus it will be nice to only be thinking about one performer.” ● LEEYONG SOO lsoo@theweeklyreview.com.au » Circus Oz’s new show, But Wait … There’s More is on now. www.circuseoz.com

BOOK BY BOB ELLIS First Abolish The Customer was published just as I started the job here. I like Bob Ellis’ writing and speaking style; he’s a classic curmudgeonly old man.

There are 202 micro chapters in the book on how economic rationalism is flawed and it resonates today because the recently announced cuts to the Australia Council are creating uncertainty among arts practitioners.

The idea of funding only commercially successful arts is short sighted.

There’s a tradition in Brazil of giving these sculptures to someone about to have a medical procedure. I found this at a market stall in São Paulo, where the guy was selling sculptures of all kinds of procedures – there was a dentist with pliers and his knee on the patient’s chest.

This one of open heart surgery reminds me not to stress out now that I’m middle aged!

INSIDE THE BUS WITH MIKE FINCH

My favourite thing

Can of Circus Oz. We made a TV ad about 12 years ago featuring a production line of “crap”, then this can of Circus Oz came along and the show emerged from the can. I’d thought of doing advertising when I was younger but my mum said she would disown me so I joined the circus – ironically, I’ve done lots of marketing for the circus and advertising can be great when it’s linked to strong values.

LEYLAND SIGN

My mum made me a periscope from Masonite and masking tape when I was little and another one when I was in my 20s that is fancier, with parquetry work. They’re are both special to me. Mum [Barbara Finch] is a town planner but is great at woodwork, and she also won an Order of Australia this year for her work in reconciliation and social justice.

HANDMADE WOODEN PERISCOPES

This is the logo from my bus and the bus from Circus Monoxide was a Leyland, too. They’re like buses designed by the public service, very complicated. You spend a lot of time lying on your back fixing a Leyland bus. You can’t predict how long it will take to get anywhere, so I joke about running to “Leyland time”. It’s a reminder to take things slowly.

O

ak Park commands a hilltop site at the end of a small cul-de-sac and, with more than 3500 square metres of land, the Victorian mansion has a significant holding to match its distinguished history and imposing presence. The current house dates from about 1879 but the property itself (once known as Belle Vue Park) dates back even further.

John Pascoe Fawkner, pioneer, politician and co-founder of Melbourne, is thought to have lived here between 1840 and 1855. Plenty of sites in this part of the world have been named in honour of the man who arrived here in 1835 from Tasmania and is credited with starting Melbourne’s first newspaper and opening our first hotel.

Where else for a busy man to unwind but in the pastoral lands of Oak Park, which served as his weekend retreat. The spectacular sweeping city views that are such a feature of the property clearly didn’t serve as a visual reminder of the proximity of the CBD back then.

Oak Park was saved from disrepair by its current owner, who bought the property in 1991. Three years of restoration included reconstructing the two-storey verandah and incorporating the gold leaf in the formal rooms.

The two-storey, rendered-brick Italianate house, with a re-slated hipped roof and handsome façade, has grand features and expansive period proportions within.

Original features, including the grand front door and (most of) the eight marble fireplaces, remain. Hydronic heating, two refrigerated cooling systems, and a gym with sauna and swim spa have introduced 21st-century comforts.

Part of the original cottage that was built in the early 1840s has been attached to the main house and still poses potential.

The two-roomed annex, with the original timber-lined ceiling and brickwork, could serve as quarters for extended family, guests, nannies or teenagers.

In fact, the floor plan is as versatile as it is generous.

Multiple formal and informal living areas could be configured to suit, and the first floor, with three large bedrooms and three living rooms, could be re-imagined.

Downstairs, two opulent bay-fronted chambers form the regal formal lounge and dining rooms where velvet drapes with gold leaf pelmets add to the period decoration. A guest room and study complete this formal precinct.

The informal living spaces are as expansive. A huge family room with a Tasmanian ash-lined ceiling and tiled floor has three sets of arched french doors to a bluestone-paved, landscaped garden. A substantial bar made from redgum was recycled from the house’s original staircase.

The kitchen is classic and functional. A beautiful royal blue Aga range takes centre stage and, with the addition of Gaggenau appliances, one has the choice of old school or quick and easy. The meals area and the adjoining billiard room open out to a courtyard with fountain.

This property was about 316 hectares in Fawkner’s day.

Today its almost L-shaped configuration with a huge stretch of clear land on the north side presents possibilities for development or subdivision. Whether you have a historical bent, a love of spectacular city views or a cunning eye to the future, this property could enchant you. ● EMMA HOUGHTON property@theweeklyreview.com.au

About a year old, this townhouse enjoys two worlds – refreshing nature and urban comforts. It has views of the nearby Maribyrnong River and walking trails, while Military Road – with great shops and public transport – is a stroll away.

The house is north-facing, with polished hardwood floors in the open-plan lounge, meals and kitchen area. A chocolate-coloured feature wall in the lounge matches the colour of the Caesarstone benchtops in the kitchen, which also has a glass splashback and slick appliances. The dining area opens to a wraparound deck. A gloss timber staircase leads up to the three bedrooms, including the main with a walk-through wardrobe to an en suite and the third with sliding glass doors to a north-facing balcony. The bathrooms look crisp through the use of floor-to-ceiling white porcelain tiles, charcoal floor tiles and dark stone vanity tops. The brick, render and timber exterior has clean lines, which are repeated inside.

Mod cons include gas ducted heating, ducted vacuum and refrigerated cooling. ● SUE HEWITT

This double-fronted Victorian house lives up to its name-plate, Clarinda, meaning bright and beautiful. Its classic façade is painted in period colours with turned posts supporting a bullnose verandah decorated with lacework.

It’s symmetrical, with leadlight and etched glass windows on either side of the entry. Original fireplaces remain in the dining room and in the three bedrooms, where wardrobes have been built on both sides of the chimneys. An extension has created a large living area in the middle of the house; it has French doors to a covered deck and access to a side walkway. A large kitchen with room for a meals area has stainless-steel appliances, ample cupboards, a built-in pantry and windows to the outdoor life. A rear paved exterior entertainment area runs the full width of the house, half of it undercover.

ASCOT VALE \ 8 ANGLERR PPARADE A unique outlook is hard to come by in the inner-city, let alone a look that defies urban sensibilities. As the last house on a dead-end road, the outlook here is over the Riverside Golf Course to the Maribyrnong River and beyond. Lush greens, towering trees and the sun glinting off the river is just the captivating beginning.

There is a feeling that everything here has been well considered. Built in 1995 and recently renovated, the house offers an attention to detail that is entirely satisfying.

From the deliberate orientation of the building toward the river (and away from the houses on the street) to the three expansive terraces, the experience has been thoughtfully choreographed.

There are excellent finishes and textures throughout. Exposed recycled brick breaks up the contemporary white plaster, crazy-paved slate floors flow from inside to out and slabs of Calacutta marble give the kitchen with integrated appliances a distinctive and luxurious edge. Curved walls and clean lines are juxtaposed to great effect. The steel girders that form a pergola over the main balcony attach to a curved balustrade and frame the view beautifully.

The main bedroom that opens to the highest balcony upstairs is the pick of the four, while all bathrooms are perfectly indulgent. ● EMMA HOUGHTON

Off-street parking and a handsome clinker-brick façade give early hints of the solid and practical nature of this house. The location adds weight to improvement, with Weather Station Reserve moments away and Matthews Avenue trams in easy walking distance. Off the foyer, lounge and dining rooms with ceiling roses, highlighted cornices, chocolate-coloured carpet and co-ordinated curtains on huge windows link up via a cutaway. The main bedroom has built-in wardrobes and a neat en suite. The main bathroom has a shower over a bath. The kitchen, with a skylight, has timber cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances. A glass door in the meals area reveals a deck from which steps descend to a backyard long enough for a game of cricket.

The workshop attached to the double garage is the real deal. Ducted heating and evaporative cooling keep things temperate and NBN connectivity renders the house ready for Australia’s digital future. ● KAY KEIGHERY

28 THE WEEKLY REVIEW \ JUNE 17, 2015

NIDDRIE \ 48 JACK A SON STREET ACK This property is sure to make a splash with large families. With six bedrooms and three living areas, even members of The Brady Bunch could find some privacy. While the Bradys had a basic backyard and an overused basketball ring in the driveway, this place offers a splendid pool with separate spa along with plenty of lawn for play.

Brick and palisade fencing adds grandeur to entry. There’s a double garage down the driveway, and two cars can park on paving heralding the brick-and-render façade.

Positioning of the bedrooms makes perfect, family sense. Three, including the main suite (with a lovely en suite), are in close proximity on the ground floor, while the rest (two with walk-in wardrobes and one with built-ins) on the first floor mean older offspring can benefit from staircase separation.

Walls of multipaned glass invite natural light in the carpeted lounge room. The kitchen oozes contemporary confidence with integrated appliances, including two ovens and two dishwashers, a walk-in pantry, stone benchtops and a glass splashback. Open to the kitchen, the family and meals area has dark-stained floorboards and glass doors to the verandah.

The covered verandah wraps around the rear of the house, taking in aspects over a terrace, open lawn and the pool and spa enclosure.

Revelling in northern orientation, this backyard is a leisure sensation. ● KAY KEIGHERY

About nine kilometres from the city and near the Melville Road trams, this extended and renovated art deco house is in the sought-after Strathmore Secondary College zone. It’s attractive to families, with three bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs, and a fourth, main bedroom with leadlight windows and a bathroom next door, on the ground level. A basket piled with timber on the porch is a clue to the combustion wood heater in the formal lounge, where elaborate ceiling decorations and picture rails speak of another era. The rear of the house is another story. A formal dining room is next to an open-plan kitchen, family and meals area. Stone benchtops, white cabinetry, and European stainless-steel appliances mark the kitchen’s renovation. The family room has a wall of windows and doors open to a neat backyard. Behind a picket fence, there’s a long side driveway on the 409-square-metre block. The house has six split-system air-conditioning units, polished hardwood floors downstairs and carpets in the bedrooms. ● SUE HEWITT

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.
