Swooping bird season Residents are reminded to keep an eye out for swooping birds during the spring breeding season.

Council, together with the State Government, is encouraging residents to highlight ‘swoop sites’ in the local area. Report the swooping location by adding a ‘swoop site’ directly to the online map, or send a tweet to @DELWP_Vic with the location details and #swoopvic.

fireside chair to knit their way into obscurity.

I don’t know if it’s just a shift in perception as I get older, or whether changes in attitudes and general mental and physical fitness mean 60-year-olds really are younger than they used to be, but suddenly over-60s seem not only not all that old, they’re positively cool.

Take Carla Zampatti, who at 73 is as stylish and relevant as ever, and has just celebrated 50 years in fashion at a glittering event at the NGV (see this week’s Decent Exposure Exposure). Or Iris Apfel, who at 94 looms large as a style icon and star of a brilliant documentary. Clearly eligibility for a Seniors Card doesn’t mean you can’t be fit, fabulous, vibrant and, as this week’s cover story shows, eminently stylish.

So as Victoria celebrates Seniors Festival this week, we salute all those over-60s still moving and shaking it in the community. May we all look forward to being 60 years young. ●

Portfolio aims for Moonee Valley Research shows that leisure is important for many reasons, from improving physical fitness and rejuvenating our body, to refreshing our mind and psychological wellbeing.

Council’s Leisure Strategy outlines our aims to deliver leisure services, places and spaces that suit our community.

Through the Council Plan and Advocacy Agenda, we aim to support the community in becoming healthier and more physically active, and facilitate and encourage access to diverse, affordable and enjoyable leisure opportunities.

We aim to: • deliver our programs and services effectively, both for structured and casual leisure activities • optimise, develop or redevelop spaces and places for leisure activities to meet the needs of multiple users • inform residents about leisure opportunities and encourage participation in leisure activities

Leisure and Recreation Portfolio Recent achievements We ran sports development workshops to help develop the skills of local club volunteers. We also formed a partnership with Moreland, Hume, Maribyrnong and Brimbank City Councils to allow volunteers to attend similar workshops run by these councils.

We held the Moonee Valley/Maribyrnong Community Cricket Cup. Funded in part by Cricket Victoria, the tournament attracted more than 300 participants and won the Inclusive and Connected Communities award at the 2015 Parks and Leisure Victoria / Tasmania Awards of Excellence.

A fun-filled March saw hundreds of community members enjoy our outdoor spaces at the Moonee Valley Colour-Fest Run, Twilight Music in the Park and Teddy Bear’s Picnic.

We started maintenance works at Ascot Vale Leisure Centre. This $3.33 million project will see the pool deck replaced, two extra lap lanes, an accessible entry to the pool, new accessible change room and an air conditioning system upgrade.

About the portfolio This portfolio covers leisure and recreation services, places and spaces in Moonee Valley.

Council works to encourage active lifestyles by providing, supporting and maintaining a range of fantastic local facilities including walking and cycling paths , playgrounds, tennis and bocce courts, gyms, swimming pools, sporting ovals and a nine hole golf course with a driving range.

We have the Essendon Traffic School where children can be active whilst learning the road rules, as well as skate parks and BMX tracks for those who like a challenge.

We operate a number of community centres and halls that run programs or can be hired for use by residents, as well as programs and events throughout the year to keep you active.

And we can’t forget our great open spaces in Moonee Valley which are perfect for being active, or even relaxing and catching up with friends and family.

Most liked

We adopted two important 10-year strategies; the Aquatic Leisure Centre Plan and Sports Development Plan. The first guides the aquatic facilities and services we provide the community, while the second ensures a coordinated approach to sport and recreation in Moonee Valley, with the aim of increasing community participation and supporting local clubs.

niece. “That’s not for children,” says the sales assistant. Just like that my eyes are opened to the most extraordinary publishing phenomenon since Harry Potter.

The explosion of colouring-in books for adults started in France with the publication in 2012 of Hachette’s Art-Thérapie: 100 Coloriages Anti-Stress, a collection of mandala-like designs for adult “relaxation support”. Almost simultaneously, across the Channel British artist and illustrator Johanna Basford convinced her publisher to print Secret Garden: An Inky Treasure Hunt and Colouring Book, with a modest initial run of

Colouring-in now has its own aisles in bookshops, with even designers such as Yves Saint Laurent and Hermes getting in on the act. There are adult join-the-dot books and Querkles (elaborate paint-by-numbers books).

A Melbourne company called Colourtation produces books it says are clinically proven to provoke meditative alpha waves, zoning-out on filling in geometric patterns. “If you give

ong ago and far away I yearned for a set of Derwent pencils.

I can still recall the intensity of my seven-year-old self longing for the pencils of perfection – the first manifestation of brand awareness when Derwents were like Nikes for the under-nines.

Of course, it was before pencils became multicultural, rather than coloured. They came in tins of 12, 24, 36 and 72 and, while man had recently walked on the moon, I couldn’t dream big enough for the latter, which seemed hopelessly unobtainable.

I nagged, wheedled, pleaded and ultimately struck a deal with my parents.

I set about learning my multiplication tables to a point that it must have seemed to my parents that a sharp pencil was better than a dull, leaden times-chanting child and 36 Derwents were mine.

Fast-forward to the past week. I pick up a fancy-looking colouring-in book from a bookshop display and wonder aloud whether it’s not too ambitious for my four-year-old

the brain pattern, repetition and order, it has the same effect as salt, fat and sugar – it just loves it,” says Colourtation co-founder and neuroscientist Dr Stan Rodski.

I remain unconvinced until I raise the topic with a girlfriend. “I bought one for [my husband] Geoff for Father’s Day. It was a bit of a joke really. When our son was little, Geoff used to ‘help’ colour in his books all the time. He had to hold the pencil a certain way, to shade in a certain direction, it was very serious business.”

What was his reaction? “He hasn’t had a chance to have a go yet; I’ve been getting into it, it’s very addictive.”

Where will this end, I ask the bookshop owner? “Well, I did have to bite my tongue when someone asked for adults-only colouring pencils the other day,” she says.

There’s only one response to this new adult coloured consciousness: 2B or not 2B … that is the question. ● sharris@theweeklyreview.com.au Virginia Trioli is on leave

T

here was a time when women of a certain age were expected to wear beige or grey – or anything really, as long as they didn’t attract attention to themselves. They weren’t supposed to look stylish, let alone sexy or fun.

But that was before New York photographer Ari Seth Cohen turned his lens to a previously ignored demographic, the stylish 60-plus woman. His blog, Advanced Style, became an international phenomenon. It spawned a coffee table book and a feature-length documentary of the same name. Suddenly the stylish older woman was in vogue.

The fashion industry sat up and took notice. Luxe label Céline put octogenarian author Joan Didion front and centre of its spring-summer 2015 campaign. Saint Laurent picked 71-year-old songstress Joni Mitchell to star in its ads, and L’Oréal named 66-year-old Twiggy as its UK ambassador.

As these Melbourne fashionistas attest, you can turn heads at any age. ●

Alison Waters

P

ublic relations maven, Alison Waters, is unarguably one of Melbourne’s most stylish women.

Immaculately groomed and seldom seen without a hat, she evokes the glamour of a bygone era.

Beginning her career at the legendary Big Biba in 1970s London, she has worked variously as cultural attaché at the French consulate in Melbourne, magazine publisher, and director of her own public relations firm, The Waters Group. Last month she emceed and judged the fashion at the Melbourne Cup Carnival Garden Party.

Alison’s remarkable collection of hats runs to more than 300, but these are no museum pieces, rather living fashion items she wears every day. However, for Alison, true style is about much more than clothes. “I try to seek beauty and grace in every aspect of my life.”

Personal style?

I strive at all times for elegance, mixing couture with current European designer fashion.

Early influences?

My aunt Sybil, whom I lived with for a year or two as a young girl. Sybil had lived and shopped in Europe for 20 years and had developed a fine sense of sophistication.

Then in the 1970s I began working at Big Biba, where I developed a passion for hats. My favourite from this time is a fake leopard skin hat that I still treasure.

Inspired by screen goddesses from the ’30s and ’40s, we all dressed very glamorouslyat Big Biba, from peach satin suits à la Marlene Dietrich to simple, elegant bias-cut evening gowns.

Favourite item of clothing?

A hat, of course. A hat lifts my mood instantly. I especially love the act of wearing a hat every day when they are not seen to be fashionable – in a strange way I see it as an act of defiance.

No.1 style rule?

Know who you are and then be true to yourself.

Trend you despise?

I really hate the inappropriate casualisation of dress.

JANUARY JONES MEETS THREE WOMEN WHO PROVE you can turn heads at any age

Jenny Bannister

A

n Australian fashion force of nature, Jenny Bannister began her career in 1975 reworking old denim into fresh designs, and launched her eponymous label the following year. Her designs quickly became an international phenomenon; gracing the pages of major fashion magazines and attracting devotees, including Elle Macpherson, Naomi Campbell, Debbie Harry and Kylie Minogue.

Jenny’s work has been auctioned at Christie’s in London and is coveted by art galleries and museums. The National Gallery of Victoria has more of her pieces than those of any other Australian fashion designer.

These days Jenny eschews fashion for fashion’s sake and instead channels her creativity towards upcycling vintage fabrics into new clothes for herself – serving the dual purpose of creative outlet and helping to save the environment, one dress at a time Personal style?

Tribal luxe with a hint of punk.

Early influences?

I was inspired by 1960s magazines and movies, like [TV’s] The Avengers and Swiss Family Robinson.

Designers Paco Rabanne and Mary Quant were another huge influence, as well as the stores and street style on Carnaby Street and King’s Road, London.

Favourite trend?

I don’t follow trends and find them very dull. I like things that are different.

Favourite accessory?

My long blonde hair.

No.1 style rule?

Always look edgy, unique and comfortable.

What would you never wear again?

Bicycle shorts.

Style icons?

Diana Rigg, who played Emma Peel in The Avengers, and 93-year-old fashion icon, Iris Apfel.

Melbourne fashion: then and now Melbourne fashion used to be very independent and creative. There were lots of designer boutiques on Chapel Street whose clothes were all made in Melbourne with great fabrics and style. Now Melbourne fashion is predominately made offshore with a more global aesthetic.

Best place to shop?

I shop mostly online, at pop-up stores or the op shop.

There are a few Melbourne designer label stores on Chapel Street, Prahran, that I enjoy venturing out to as well.

Favourite label?

Di$count Universe.

You’re never too old to … express yourself through what you wear. ●

“I categorise my fashion mistakes as experiments.

I have a lot of fun with those” – linda jackson

Linda Jackson

O

ne of the most influential pioneers of a distinctly Australian fashion sensibility, Linda Jackson started out in the 1970s designing garments for Jenny Kee’s legendary Sydney boutique Flamingo Park.

She struck out on her own in 1981 with her own labels Bush Couture and Bush Kids. Reflecting her love of the Australian landscape, Linda’s designs mirrored the colours and motifs of the outback and were soon lauded as wearable art.

Now living in Bendigo, Linda spends her time on painting and photography. But her influence on Australian fashion has not been forgotten: label of the moment, Romance was Born, paid homage to her lasting impact with its spring 2015 collection.

Personal style?

Colourful, eccentric, comfortable and practical, with the odd tribal or indigenous cloth.

Biggest fashion mistake?

I would categorise my mistakes as experiments. I have had a lot of fun with those.

Favourite trend?

I love seeing men being more creative and having fun with styling. I must say I am not keen on extreme high heels; a woman’s posture starts looking quite strange.

Style icon?

My mother Edith. She is 90 years young and very active.

She loves getting dressed up to go dancing, shopping or out to lunch.

Melbourne fashion: then and now I grew up in Melbourne but haven’t lived here since 1969. After living in the tropics and hot remote places for years, I still think Melbourne is extremely stylish.

Early influences?

My parents were ballroom dancers so mum’s frocks became my dress-up wardrobe. She made all of my clothes and, due to my fussiness, I was encouraged to make my own. I was also influenced by my travels around the world, from living in New Guinea to travelling through the East, and then on to Paris from 1969 to 1973 – and by designers like Balenciaga, Paco Rabanne and Schiaparelli to Chinese opera costume, Japanese kabuki and kimono. I’ve also had a love of R. M. Williams and bush clothes.

Favourite shop?

I’m a non-shopper. I make everything I wear, but I did find a divine Chinese brocade padded vest in a Chinese newsagent that is perfect for Bendigo winters.

Favourite wardrobe staple?

My fabulous Akubra hat with my opal print band. And, for special occasions, my gorgeous opal necklace.,

Advice to my younger self?

Have confidence in yourself and make the most of every opportunity.

No.1 style rule?

Feel happy, be comfortable and stay true to oneself.

You’re never too old to … enjoy life ● jjones@theweeklyreview.com.au

“we were on the golf course when she told me kate winslet was interested”

ROSALIE HAM \ AUTHOR

What’s the buzz?

Kate Winslet gets 200 scripts a year and chooses only two or three to work on. One of those scripts was The Dressmaker Dressmaker. Rosalie wrote the novel over three years, never dreaming her tale of love, jealousy, malice and tragedy in rural Australia would become a big-budget movie. “When I asked my teacher if I should send it to a publisher, she said, ‘You might as well’,” Rosalie says. Sue Maslin, the fim’s producer was drawn to the story’s strong female characters and imagery that were at odds with rural Australia c1951.

In the beginning …

Rosalie studied drama and literature and has a bachelor of education but was working as an aged-care nurse and then cook when she wrote The Dressmaker, which draws on her memories of growing up in Jerilderie in regional NSW – a town of 1000 people – where her mum was the town dressmaker. “My parents divorced when I was 10, quite scandalous in a small community then,” she says. “You always have stereotypes in those places,

Look out for …

like the town gossip and the adulterer. I took those elements and made them gothic.”

The big break …

Rosalie collected a sheaf of rejection letters before her book was finally published 15 years ago. In 2013 Sue Maslin stepped in to translate the story to the silver screen. “Sue and I were on the golf course at Yarra Bend, thrashing around looking for golf balls, when she told me Kate Winslet was interested,” Rosalie says.

Where to now?

Now a literature lecturer at the University of Melbourne, Rosalie is working on her fourth novel. “It’s another rural community and to do with farming and water,” is all she’ll say. Later this month she’ll walk the red carpert at the premiere of The Dressmaker at Crown. “I might get a new frock, but I’ll be back teaching the next day.”

The best part about success?

“I’ve paid off my mortgage. And the film has brought a lot of joy to family and friends. People I grew up with in Jerilderie have heard about it and said, ‘No way, really? Good on ya, Hammy’.” ● SARAH MARINOS » www.dressmakermovie.com.au

The Dressmaker will premiere on October 29.

(SCOTT MCNAUGHTON)

Author Rosalie Ham, from Brunswick, wrote her first novel, The Dressmaker Dressmaker, while working at an aged-care home and studying writing part-time at RMIT University. That book has now become a film with Kate Winslet playing the leading role.

DARRELL REID \ 67

how producer Shirley Mason banters with a friend whose husband is a model in the runway due to start in 20 minutes. “I want him to wiggle his bottom today, is he going to do that?” she inquires cheekily. “Well, you better tell him dear. I can’t, because he’ll say to stop micro-managing me!”

It’s all in good fun as Dolly Parton’s 9 to 5 pumps up the crowd at the Victorian Arts Centre for a fashion show with a twist. All the models are over 50; most have never graced a catwalk before.

The runway for over-50s broke new ground in this year’s cultural program of the Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival. The fashion show was driven and produced by the indefatigable 79-year-old Shirley, a member of the University of the Third Age (U3A).

The Englishwoman’s career in fashion took her from modelling at 17 to running her own shop near Cambridge for 30 years.

Then seven years ago she endured three life-changing events. At 73, she lost her life partner, retired and moved to Melbourne to live closer to her daughter’s family.

« LYNETTE KALMS \ 65 “I could organise the evacuation of Darwin if I had to,” says Lynette Kalms. So retirement as financial administrator at Melbourne University posed a challenge. Then she met Shirley Mason at a U3A current affairs class, who suggested she join the fashion show.

“My first instincts were, ‘Don’t be ridiculous!’ But when Shirley said, ‘You’re exactly the sort of person we want,’ that was the key. I thought, just because I have retired from work doesn’t mean I have retired from the world.

“If you look at my body shape, you will see it’s not the normal kind of shape in a fashion show. I’ve long since learned not to be defined by that or anything else about me.”

Something else happened that helped her take the risk; she had also joined the U3A choir to revive a love for singing that she’d left behind at 16. That opened the door to community choir Viva Melbourne and taking part in the Alta Pusteria Choir Festival in the Italian Dolomites in June.

“If I’d told myself at 25 that at my age I’d be on a catwalk and representing Australia in a choir I wouldn’t have believed it,” she laughs.

MICHAEL ROWELL \ 58 Architect Michael Rowell, who takes U3A’s German language classes, found the modelling an interesting experience. He enjoyed seeing the clothes selected for him to wear, although they weren’t his usual choice, he says. “I guess you’ve just got to have confidence and be comfortable in what you’re wearing. It’s not that hard really. I like dressing up a bit.”

WESTERN DISTRIBUTOR DESIGN UPDATE Transurban has been talking to many different people and organisations about the Western Distributor, drawing on the knowledge and ideas of the local community and stakeholders to improve our proposal.

We are now refining some elements of the Western Distributor’s design.

WHAT WE’VE HEARD SO FAR People told us that they would like to see more done to get trucks off local streets, greater improvements to traffic flow on the West Gate Freeway and more information about how the Western Distributor would connect with CityLink and other roads. We’ve published a consultation report on our website - consult.transurban.com.

open space, remove overhead power lines and upgrade cycling and walking connections, including the Federation Trail - we would love to hear your ideas too.

LEARN MORE We are sharing an update now so there is time for more discussion as we develop the proposal and before decisions are made about progressing the Western Distributor.

We are also looking at ways to reduce weaving and merging on the West Gate Freeway such as separating tunnel and bridge traffic and considering multiple options for connections to the Port of Melbourne.

Get involved online Find more information, pin comments and ideas on our interactive map and ask questions at consult.transurban.com.

REFINING THE PROPOSAL DESIGN

WHAT IS THE WESTERN DISTRIBUTOR?

Having listened to feedback and completed further technical work, some elements of the proposal design are being refined.

Transurban developed the Western Distributor proposal in response to congestion on the M1 corridor and predicted growth in Melbourne’s west.

Attend an information session to discuss the design update with Transurban.

A key change is the relocation of the southern tunnel portal from the middle of the West Gate Freeway to industrial land north of the Freeway. This allows for new connections to Hyde Street which will help get trucks off local streets, particularly dangerous goods trucks such as fuel tankers. While no homes need to be acquired, it will involve new impacts at Hyde Street Reserve and surrounding areas. In response we’ve identified some new opportunities to add to

It includes a tunnel under Yarraville and elevated road in the port precinct to directly connect the West Gate Freeway with the Port of Melbourne, CityLink and the city. It adds more lanes to the West Gate Freeway and includes upgrades to improve safety and access from Webb Dock.

> Thursday 8 October, 4pm – 8pm South Kingsville Community Centre 43 Paxton St, South Kingsville > Saturday 10 October, 9.30am – 1pm Yarraville Club 135 Stephen St, Yarraville

ne of the best quotes I’ve heard about ageing is the one about how great it is to finally get to an age when you regret nothing except that you didn’t tell more people to f*** off when you were younger.

Lately, the quote has been attributed to Helen Mirren. I’m not sure that’s where it originated but, given she’s the poster girl for ageing well both physically and mentally, she has a right to own it. Mirren is the goddess of old – mostly because she still looks young – which is one of many sad ironies of modern life that is far too complex to unpack in this space.

While I’ve not yet received my Seniors Card in the mail, its arrival gets closer every day (funny that, hysterical even). Like Helen, I too wish I’d told a few people where to go when I was younger.

In fact, I wish I had done more than just that in some instances.

But, of course, one of the best and at the same time worst things about getting older is knowing what you know now that you didn’t know when you were a wee young thing,

nice thing to do. And practical. Two warm parkas are better than one.

It’s something lovely to look forward to, to get to an age when you want to hold someone tight because they are also wearing a warm parka, to not be at all bothered by what others think, or with the past, the haters from

Because of this, I’m really looking forward to my own period of hopefully extended seniority.

If all goes to plan, it will involve rolling green hills, chickens, possibly grandkids, pots of tea and maybe the odd trip to Tassie. It’s a bit clichéd, nothing fancy. I’m just after a place to sit quietly and not be remotely bothered by anything.

entwining of young legs at stools under window-benches, and hand-holding at tables.

Neither the dangling legs nor the interlaced hands were mine; I was an observer of love at Hattori Hanzo. But I’m coming back to this bright, urban-inspired eatery, where old Japanese movies are projected onto the wall, for my own date night.

It’s Bayside’s latest buzz. It’s serving hip, Asian-fusion food. And it’s wildly fun. That it’s named after a 16th-century samurai and master swordsman adds to the cool factor.

In the vein of Hanoi Hannah and Charlie Dumpling, the boys next door (literally, Steve Larkan and Paul Conroy own neighbouring tapas bar Garden of Good and Evil) have brought some inner-south cool to outer Cheltenham.

They’ve installed a giant mural of a Hong-Kong-at-night street-scene, a brick-lined, classy bar and lots of warm timber. They’ve got the mood lighting bang-on too.

Sticky, wildly sweet, not-too-chewy beef jerky, juicy spicy prawns poached in a fragrant stock and served with delicate sticks of carrot and daikon, and golden cubes of crumbed tofu served as DIY lettuce rolls with sticks of shredded veg and an earthy almond satay dipping sauce are among the rather good street-food offerings.

E NIGHT B E S T F O R \ D AT

A creamy green curry sauce rests under crispy pieces of squishy soft-shell crab in one of our shared plates – there’s plenty of spice and a riot of textures here. The pad grapow is all about slices of rare beef in a thick pool of sugary soy and mirin, and gorgeous plating.

Chef Pim Wangweerawong (ex BangPop) doesn’t seem to have dumbed the spice

down too much for the south-east, which is nice. The no-booking policy has come to Cheltenham too. Don’t bother to phone ahead unless you have a posse of eight or more.

Hattori Hanzo is quite pricey for the ’burbs.

But how do you put a price on love? ● LEANNE TOLRA ltolra@theweeklyreview.com.au

THE FOOD \ The Korean fried chicken with the heat of a sweet chilli sriracha mayo on a bed of slaw has the added surprise of being on a sweet waffle. The sticky caramel pork belly and pickled Asian vegetable salad is also great. Contrasting flavours, such as pomegranate dressing and pork, and textures are superb.

THE DRINK INK \ Proud Mary coffee is fresh and there are smoothies, juices and milkshakes, including the chocolate and hazelnut shake topped with a Nutella doughnut.

I’ll go with the crowd and be back again. ●

Y

ou’re at a restaurant, the wine list appears and a decision has to be made.

Thankfully there’s a sommelier to guide you. But what about when you’re out on your own and buying takeaway? I reckon just three wine styles and beer are enough to cover most takeaway options – sparkling; a crisp, floral white such as riesling or semillon-sauvignon blanc; a tannic red, such as cabernet sauvignon and sangiovese; and a beer, which I find suits anything home-delivered.

Fish and chips: Friday nights at Chez Thomas tend to involve fish and chips and a bottle of bubbles. Salty fish and chips and champagne is one of the best food and wine matches going, but local bubbly works just as well.

Curry: The acid in crisp white wines works a treat with seafood and chicken curries, while a tannic red has the body to stand up to rich, spicy curry sauces.

Asian: Pairing Asian food with wine and beer falls into a couple of camps – sweet and spicy. Beer works with both, especially the sweeter dishes. For wine,

DOGGED EFFORT FINE

Little Creatures’ latest beer, Dog Days Summer Beer ($21 for a six-pack), is low in alcohol at 4.4 per cent but combines a rich, crisp body with fruity citrus, caramel and pine aromas. It’s incredibly easy to drink and is a style that will appeal to those who like flavour and body. 91/100

IRON CONSTITUTION FUN

spicy food’s easy – a crisp white. For dumplings people tend to think pinot noir, while cabernet sauvignon and its tannins are the perfect foil.

Pizza: While most wines work, the Italian grape sangiovese hits the mark, especially for pizzas with a tomato base. ● BEN THOMAS bthomas@theweeklyreview.com.au

King Valley’s Pizzini first released a sangiovese in 1996. It now has six different examples in its range. The 2013 Pietra Rossa ($28) is made from grapes grown on a vineyard rich with iron oxide. Plum, spice and dark cherry flavours have earthy notes, while there’s a neat balance between fine tannins and vibrant acid. 92/100

OCTOBER 7, 2015 \ THE WEEKLY REVIEW 15

THIS WEEK MAKE SURE YOU

W

hile it’s tempting to focus on the musical highlights of this year’s Melbourne Festival (Laura Marling, The Fall and a star-studded local revival of Patti Smith’s seminal LP Horses), it’s hard to ignore a definite literary bent.

The 2015 program boasts stage adaptations of 1984, Fly Away Peter and Monkey … Journey to The West, the Chinese novel that inspired the cult television series.

One adaptation has been such a hit that all seven sessions have sold out. The Rabbits is an opera for children written by playwright Lally Katz and pop star Kate Miller-Heidke (who also performs the role of Bird). Based on a book by John Marsden and Shaun Tan, the production scored an incredible four Helpmann Awards after its Perth Festival premiere.

One went to Kate for her original score. Not bad for someone who has never written an opera before.

Kate says working in intense collaboration with Lally, Barking Gecko Theatre Company and Opera Australia has been a thrilling experience.

“I’ve spent a lot of my creative life scared of collaboration. I thought sitting alone in a room feeling sad was the best recipe and felt extremely

protective of my ideas. But in this case I found it completely liberating,” Kate says.

The Rabbits tells the story of first contact between white colonists and indigenous Australians, through the metaphor of invading rabbits and displaced marsupials. Kate admits it’s heavy stuff for a kids’ show to tackle.

“Making the characters animals was a stroke of genius on Shaun’s behalf, in terms of audience access to the story. I don’t think we’ve pandered to the kids.

Look there are a couple of bum jokes, but it’s weighty subject material.”

Young theatre fans who missed out on tickets will want to try Masquerade. It, too, takes a fantastical approach without skimping on the big issues.

Actor and prize-winning playwright Kate Mulvany has adapted Kit Williams’ picture book, in which the moon falls in love with the sun, and incorporated her own experiences of dealing with childhood cancer.

It wowed audiences young and old at its Sydney Festival premiere. ● mbartlett@theweeklyreview.com.au » Melbourne Festival runs October 8-25, www.festival.melbourne

The band, who will be in Melbourne for next year’s Laneway Festival, manage to fuse the heart-rending emotion of stadium rock with the adrenaline rush of dance. The result is as thrilling and poignant as pop gets. ● THE PRINCIPAL \ ALEX DIMITRIADES SEE

Sleazy writer Keith Michaels (Hugh Grant) is washed up. Having peaked early in his career, he’s become box office poison and, desperate for cash, takes up a teaching position at a remote university.

Needless to say, he’s more interested in the opportunity to seduce young undergrads than passing on any wisdom to his students. Hugh is in charming form and the script has just enough edge to excuse the lazy romance elements. ● ONLINE \ Watch the trailer

Playwright Clare Mendes moved to Moonee Ponds in 2001 and has since lived in the US, Asia and Latin America. But she keeps coming back to Moonee Ponds.

The promise Lorraine Isola from Welcoming Wellness uses meditation as part of a program to reduce stress. There’s also tapping – a way of tapping on acupressure points to ease tension and change thought patterns. Participants get to journal about their days as a way of discovering stress triggers and reactions.

(ISTOCK)

The reality With guided meditation you don’t have to think. Lorraine’s hushed voice tells you to focus on your breathing; breathe in, hold, then let the air out in a certain number of counts. It’s not hard and it calms the mind.

Feel cool air enter your nose and the warmed air leave. She encourages you to think about tension in your body; asking you to clench your jaw, for example, then release it, so you feel the difference between tension and relaxation.

efore he became famous for dressing the heads of fashionable Melburnians, milliner Richard Nylon was a budding experimental musician and a boy with a butterfly net.

One of four surviving children of Shirley and Tom Neylon, he left the “e” in his surname behind in his home town of Hamilton, in Victoria’s Western District.

“People were forever misspelling my name and it made it easier to remember,” he says.

Hats would become Richard’s medium of expression. But as a child the sheep farmer’s son displayed endless curiosity about the natural world.

“I really thought I was going to be either a bee or a butterfly when I grew up and was forever at my mother to make me wings. She made them out of brown paper or newspaper, anything that approximated wings would do the trick. I used to jump off the tank stand into the sandpit, hoping one day I would take off,” he says.

“There was a park over the road from where we lived and in summer and spring

The menagerie of family pets included a baby ringtail possum found by one of Richard’s brothers. Honey the possum lived with the family for 14 years, fed on roses and her favourite honey.

Richard was six when Shirley Neylon moved with the children from the farm in Casterton to a solid Californian bungalow in Haig Street, Hamilton, after her marriage ended. She went back to school, got her HSC and went on to study art in Warrnambool.

“My mother is Lady Capable; she’s very practical, which is good. Had she been the same emotional ilk as me, God knows what would have happened.”

Recognising Richard’s early creative interests, his mother relaxed the rule about the children not touching her sewing machine, which she used to provide extra income for the family. “She was forever saying

‘do not touch the tension dial’, but I learnt to sew,” Richard says.

“I wasn’t a popular child, but I did have some friends and did all those kid things with my siblings. But I was in my own little world much of the time and I used to read a lot.

Raising funds for charities, organising concerts,

“Every year we run at least one session addressing the latest information on how best to protect your daughter on the internet, and these sessions always draw a very keen audience with lots of questions,” she says.

Terri says this year’s drugs and alcohol session was a positive way to start a conversation around a difficult issue and offer strategies to keep young people safe. “There is no doubt that raising children has become more challenging, and these discussions

provide the opportunity for parents to keep up with information while developing a strong framework that builds a strong relationship of trust with their child.”

Everyone benefits

Each year, Ivanhoe Girls’ Grammar School’s year 12 students host a benefit concert for a charity or cause of their choice. They organise the concert and fundraising initiatives inside and outside the school. All aspects of the four-week event involve teamwork, dedication, determination and motivation by the whole group, which co-ordinates the performance, lighting, merchandise, ticket sales, public relations, raffles and catering.

MENTONE GRAMMAR SCHOOL

Past student Jessie Taylor initiated the first event in 1999. That year the girls created a Concert for Kosovo to support Balkan conflict refugees. Cohorts have since raised extraordinary amounts for a wide variety of local and international causes and charities.

The Class of 2014 raised funds for So They Can, a not-for-profit organisation supporting the education and empowerment of African communities. The 2013 group assisted The Y-House Foundation, which works to help keep young people with physical disabilities out of aged care. This year’s cohort supported headspace and raised more than $33,000.

In 2010, the school also established The Cooerwull Centre for Leadership and Service,

ST MICHAEL’S GRAMMAR SCHOOL

which encourages all students to strive towards achieving personal goals and to contribute to the wider community.

“Leadership and service enhances our students’ personal development and growth,” says principal Dr Heather Schnagl AM. “I am very proud of Ivanhoe Girls’ Grammar School students and staff who regularly support many organisations and causes.”

The groups of four students have visited five times a year for the past 10 years and help with meal preparation and dishes. The students learn about those who don’t know where their next meal is coming from.

that can accommodate hundreds of people who are homeless, socially disadvantaged or isolated. The service creates a sense of community and helps people to reconnect with society. More than 20 volunteers are needed a day and much of the food is donated.

Rapping for charity

Maverick Newman had no idea what he was starting when he asked St Michael’s Grammar School principal Simon Gipson to rap in a video for the school’s annual Merry Month of May fundraisers. The year 12 student wanted

to raise more money for this year’s charities, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), HeartKids, One Girl and Shave for a Cure (Leukaemia Foundation).

Maverick and fellow year 12 prefect Gabe Phillips filmed the video with Simon, teachers and students. “Not only was Mr Gipson keen, but he wanted to make the rap a music video and put it online,” Maverick says. “My friend, Ossian Shaw, assisted by choosing a sound that suited the feel of what we were trying to achieve. Creating a rap video about charity is surprisingly hard – you have to talk about heart disease and diabetes!”

The reaction was huge. “We had articles published on the Herald Sun and The Weekly Review websites, a live on-air interview with Channel 7’s Sunrise and thousands of likes and comments on social media,” Maverick says. “The video … reached dozens of countries, including the UK, the US and even Zimbabwe!” The Merry Month of May raised $18,605. ●

Supporting the sisterhood

For more than 30 years, St Monica’s College staff have sold icy poles and soft drinks to junior campus students at lunch time to raise money for Catholic sisters working to empower women and girls in Pakistan.

St Monica’s has so far raised $200,000 for the Union of Presentation Sisters of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who help underprivileged Pakistan communities.

Teacher Pamela Coyne started the program, which colleagues Cley Anderson and Denis Zucchet took over in 2005 when she retired. The money contributes to teacher wages, water purification, text books, uniforms, school fees, boarding school furniture, remote village health programs, women’s empowerment programs, shelter construction, food packages and medicines.

St Monica’s has also donated funds to help families affected by floods.

Each August, Pamela hosts a Presentation Sisters member in Melbourne for a month.

The sister becomes an honorary staff member.

Denis says the sisters enjoy learning about Australia and modern education practices.

“They use this knowledge to improve operating and educational outcomes across their schools,” Denis says.

Pamela and Denis visit Pakistan as part of the project, which enables St Monica’s to achieve its social justice objectives while educating students about the plight of Pakistan’s girls and women. “The [visiting] sister speaks to various groups across our college community to share her experiences and enlighten us about the situation in Pakistan for her order as well as her students,” Denis says.

Finishing a half-marathon is no easy feat.

But this was just part of the challenge for 18 Melbourne Girls Grammar students, who raised $32,000 to help Cambodian victims of human trafficking, domestic violence and exploitation.

After choosing to support the HAGAR project, which restores lives devastated by human trafficking and severe abuse, the year 10 and 11 students flew to Cambodia with three teachers last December for the demanding Angkor Wat Half Marathon.

Before leaving, they sought sponsorship and raised money with raffles, morning teas, a fun run, casual clothes day and community talks.

One group secured $6000 after addressing a St Kilda Football Club True Believers coterie lunch.

cambodian partnerships Since 2011, Our Lady of Mercy College has partnered with Jesuit Services Cambodia (JSC) and the people of Santepheap village in Cambodia. Among the highlights has been a new school building for the village’s 600 students.

JSC builds schools as part of its work to empower forcibly displaced persons.

Santepheap houses some of Cambodia’s poorest people. The rural village was set up in 1998, when 140 families resettled after the peace treaty between the Khmer Rouge and government forces. It remains a heavily land-mined area.

Over four years, OLMC funded a three-room all-weather school building for 300 children, a playground, landscaping, rice and book scholarships. “This year we continue to raise funds for the building of two playgrounds in other village schools, the establishment of five school libraries, provision of bicycles for students and the funding of Advocacy on Air programs,” says OLMC social justice co-ordinator Catherine Burke.

Some OLMC staff and students have visited the school and say it was enriching to meet such warm, welcoming and positive people. “Santepheap is a simple school where nothing is taken for granted,” Catherine says.

“Our gift, of what we would see as the most basic of facilities, has been life-giving and energising.” ●

students ran the marathon and visited the HAGAR project, where they learned about the program and dined in its restaurant.

The school’s deputy principal (curriculum and innovation) Chris McNamara, says the girls spent a year developing the project while juggling school work and extracurricular activities. The school hopes to run the service project every two years.

“The girls were really blown away by the whole experience,” he says. “Most of what we do, we try to build in that service component

so that the girls understand the bigger issues in the world.”

Strengthening relationships

Charles La Trobe College hosted five students and three staff from Nanjing Zhonghua High School in July as part of a sister-school relationship established in 2013. This followed a visit by 18 Charles La Trobe students and two staff members to China in 2014.

Both trips saw students attend classes with their host sibling, live with a local family

and enjoy cultural sight-seeing. The Chinese visitors developed sibling relationships with Charles La Trobe students who stayed with them.

“Our students were very excited to be able to show their Chinese siblings some of our culture and further develop their relationships,” says Charles La Trobe College principal Jason Bek. “Most had stayed in contact via email from their visit to China.”

The project aims to strengthen relationships, understanding and appreciation between students in both countries. It supports the teaching of Mandarin at Charles La Trobe and English at Nanjing, while developing globally engaged students with the skills to operate effectively across different cultures.

This year Charles La Trobe College became a Confucius Classroom, which means its sister school relationship, largely maintained by email and Skype, is formally acknowledged and supported by the Chinese government.

“This is a further connection between us, La Trobe University, who have a Confucius Institute on their Bundoora campus, and the Chinese government,” Jason says. “The purpose of this recognition is to further support and develop our relationship with our Chinese sister school as well as our students’ awareness of Chinese culture.” ● ccritchley@theweeklyreview.com.au

COMMUNITY \ SPECIAL EDUCATION REPORT

solid values After 150 years, Wesley College retains its community feel

I

Planning for the sesquicentenary started in 2013. Rather than being seen as “a pat on the back”, the celebrations will focus on the great sense of community Wesley College has developed over 150 years. They also aim to re-engage with college alumni.

Events will be held locally and internationally in cities where Wesley and its former students have a presence, such as Singapore, Shanghai, Hong Kong, New York and London and will include: Saturday March 5 \ Celebrating Glen Waverley’s Golden Jubilee Wednesday March 16 \ The Wesley College 150th Oration delivered by alumni Professor Geoffrey Blainey Thursday March 24 \ Young alumni celebration in Ormond Hall Tuesday April 19 \ Celebrating 150 years of Wesley Sport

Friday May 6 \ Founders’ Day lunch in Ormond Hall Saturday May 14 \ Discovery Dinner in Clunes The weekend of July 29-31 \ Back to Boarding at Wesley Saturday July 30 \ 150th Anniversary Dinner Tuesday August 16 \ Samuel Alexander Lecture 2016 delivered by Professor Gillian Triggs Many events are based around the school’s regular calendar, such as open days, Founders’ Day celebrations and speech nights. The valedictory service and dinners and alumni reunions will continue as normal, with special

recognition of the sesquicentenary. Towards the end of 2016 the new Learning in Residence buildings will open at Glen Waverley.

While much has changed, Wesley’s first Prospectus and Annual Report in 1866 still resonates – with girls added to the mix: “The object of this Institution is to provide a Classical and General Education of the highest order, such as to fit a young gentleman for mercantile life, for the public service, and for matriculation in the University.”

And later: “The College will be conducted upon the principles of the Wesleyan Church; the constant aim being to give a liberal and Christian education.”

Community has always been an important focus and Wesley has strong connections with locals around all its campuses including Clunes, where its popular year 9 residential program is based, and also the Yiramalay/ 10020399-02-a7Oct©MMP

t was a lonely start for Wesley College’s first student, Frederick Binks. In 1866, young Frederick spent several nights alone in the school’s new St Kilda Road boarding house before more students joined him.

Next year Wesley turns 150 with more than 3100 students across three campuses.

The sesquicentenary celebrations will involve thousands of students past and present as well as the school and wider community.

Back in the 1860s, Wesley educated the sons of Melbourne’s elite. Since it became coeducational in 1978, girls have played a prominent role in campus and community life. Since its earliest days, Wesley has produced well-known high-achievers and community contributors, from prime ministers Robert Menzies and Harold Holt to historian Geoffrey Blainey and former Australian netball captain Sharelle McMahon.

More recently, actor and old boy Samuel Johnson rode a unicycle around Australia to raise $1.5 million for breast cancer research after his sister, Connie, was diagnosed with the disease.

Fields of dreams: Wesley College 1892; Wesley College cricket 1922.

Wesley Studio School near Fitzroy Crossing in the north of Western Australia. Wesley College has since continued its commitment to innovation in education, encouraging every student to be prepared for the challenges and opportunities of life after school. The principal, Dr Helen Drennen, says the sesquicentenary is the perfect time to celebrate the school’s success and role in the community. “Over the years, there have been many changes,” she says. “With coeducation, Wesley has grown to be a more inclusive school, developing significant educational partnerships across Australia and internationally.” ● ccritchley@theweeklyreview.com.au » www.wesleycollege.net

at home and abroad Community is at the heart of what Wesley College students do. Glen Waverley head of campus Peter Dickinson says fund-raising is a big focus each year at all three city campuses and Wesley’s rural programs at Clunes and the Yiramalay/Wesley Studio School in the Kimberley, Western Australia.

“Our students are always keen to volunteer for annual events such as the Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal, Jump Rope for Heart, Red Cross Door Knocks, Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal, Shave For A Cure, the APS Foundation, or to run cake sales or sausage sizzles,” he says.

“However, it is the actual service activities that tend to have the most lasting impact on our students. There are numerous examples where our students contribute their time and effort and generally support social service in action activities.

“These examples include, but are certainly not limited to, compiling birthing kits for developing countries or care packs and blankets for Melbourne’s homeless; knitting scarves; donating cellos to Afghanistan; helping out at food shelters such as FareShare; providing music at retirement and aged-care centres and hospitals; supporting micro-loaning; clothes drives and food and book collections.” ●

STRATHMORE \ 133 MASCOMA STREET

T

here is a certain romance associated with residing in a precinct called Poets’ Corner. Living on Chaucer Street (or its neighbouring Browning or Byron streets) might well provide creative impetus for some. But the collection of period houses is enough inspiration for most.

Widely thought of as one of Moonee Ponds’ best streets, this heartland spot close to the train and shops also boasts beautifully maintained, heritage-listed Victorian and Edwardian houses where the protected streetscape is almost guaranteed to retain the enviable period grandeur that keeps residents here.

No.29 is a double-fronted, single-storey Victorian house that presents plenty of sun-soaked contemporary living behind its immaculate bay-fronted façade. Continuity is achieved through a comprehensive makeover to the period rooms that precede the new open plan. An all-white palette and new Tasmanian brushbox floors in the front of the house provide the required treatment to prepare one for the contemporary addition at the rear. The lofty ceilings, roses, deep moulded cornices and skirting boards are all the better for it. Clean lines enhance the subtle adornments and the Victorian proportions loom brighter as a result.

There are four large bedrooms off the central hall. The huge main with bay window is the pick, with enough space to recline on one’s chaise longue and enjoy the streetscape.

Soaked in north-facing light, it defies characteristic Victorian gloominess to be a worthy retreat for parents wanting to bask in a sunny spot away from the kids.

Both bathrooms are similarly chic, with an abundance of designer style. Frameless glass showers and black granite-topped vanities are found alongside a sophisticated palette of moody grey, large-format tiles.

At the back, the architect-designed open-plan space is set to impress. The floorboards give way to grey floor tiles in this large room where the white walls and cabinetry have sleek streamlined appeal. Clerestory windows encircle the living area, injecting light and providing overhead sky views. A wall of bifold doors that open to a covered outdoor terrace enhance the open and breezy effect.

The kitchen is ready to serve indoor and outdoor dining areas. Stainless-steel benches, timber veneer cabinetry and open shelving achieve polish and warmth. A discreet wall of glossy white, touch-open 2pac cabinetry provides oodles of storage space and houses integrated appliances with an effortless subtlety. A stainless-steel Barazza stovetop and side-by-side Miele ovens will delight most home chefs.

The accomplished indoor/outdoor setting finds the same floor extended without any fear of a trip out to the terrace.

Equipped with downlights and a speaker system, this all-weather entertainment domain will play host to many nights embracing the elements. The low-maintenance garden with flourishing established trees is cunningly segregated from the rear services area and carport.

The house will find interest from downsizers, families and professionals. Once you have prised this gem from the competition, you could sit back and contemplate the rising property values. The poets should have been so lucky. ● EMMA HOUGHTON property@theweeklyreview.com.au

Voluminous Victorian spaces define this house, while a rear extension brings it in line with modern living.

Opposite this bedroom is a roomy lounge with an open fireplace and glass doors to a covered, north-facing patio. The open-plan hub – comprising kitchen, meals and family areas – has timber cabinetry, rich timber floors and loads of natural light. Glass doors here open to the backyard, where a paved terrace provides for outdoor entertainment and the lush lawn looks just right for play. Ducted heating, cooling and an alarm bolster the appeal, and residents can stroll to Lincoln Park, several schools, shops and transport. ● KAY KEIGHERY

This three-bedroom Victorian house has been in the same family for more than 40 years for a simple reason – its great location on Flemington Hill. There are trams, shops and schools nearby and it’s in a quiet street where period houses are treasured. Unlike many of the neighbouring single-fronted Victorian houses, this is a double-fronted weatherboard with a front bay window; and it’s on 405 square metres. It has the bones of a great house but is liveable now. Many original features remain, such as the leadlight, cricket bat-panelled front door, ceiling roses, stepped cornices and detailed skirting boards. In one bedroom there’s raw Baltic pine floors, suggesting it might have been used throughout and will come up to a honey gold if polished. The kitchen is a retro salmon colour with plenty of storage and has a large dining area with air-conditioning. There is ducted heating throughout. The rear undercover patio looks out to a lawn gardens and a brick garage with laneway access. ● SUE HEWITT

Sometimes it’s right to judge a book by its cover. The attention paid to restoring this double-fronted Victorian house’s facade hints at what’s inside. As proud and straight as the day it was built, Kia Ora is renovated and extended, seamlessly blending period style with contemporary living. A leadlight entrance, Baltic pine floors, open fireplaces with detailed surrounds and high ceilings with decorative ceiling roses are part of the vintage package. Its open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area is modern but in sympathy with the rest of the historic house. The kitchen has Miele appliances, including a combination cooktop with gas and electric hot plates and a barbecue grill, as well as a pullout pantry, ample cabinets and an island bench. The dining area’s glass doors open to an L-shaped raised deck overlooking a charming backyard with brick paving and water tanks. There’s a double garage accessed from a laneway, with two secure workshops either side. Union Road cafés, shops and trams are a stroll away, while schools are also nearby. ● SUE HEWITT

STRATHMORE \ 135 MASCOMA STREET The vendor of this rendered brick house is a custom builder and his impressive touches are everywhere, starting at the gloss black front door buffed with car polish. It’s the little things you notice, like a slight curve on the front of the kitchen island bench dressed in a steel-like laminate to match the curve of the stainless-steel appliances.

The kitchen’s 2pac grey cabinets and built-in pantry have strips of LED lights under the top shelves, shining down on granite-like laminate benchtops. An adjoining dining room has a wall with three cutouts acting like windows to the heart of the house – an enormous, light-filled family room large enough for living, sitting and music areas.

While the front of the house includes three bedrooms and has polished Tasmanian oak floorboards, the family room has deep honey-coloured floating timber floors edged with a charcoal timber, defining the space. A curved, freestanding wall separates the family room from a main bathroom, fourth bedroom and huge laundry by creating a hall.

The professional garage/workshop has a reinforced concrete floor, three-phase power, zoned industrial lighting, 2pac cupboards and a separate alarm from the main house system.

This house, on an elevated 850 square metres in the Strathmore Secondary College zone, has a large front terrace to enjoy the parkland opposite. ● SUE HEWITT

DISCRIMINATION IN ADVERTISING IS UNLAWFUL

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. For more information about discrimination in advertising, contact your legal advisers or the Equal Opportunity Commission.
