Virginia trioli \ It’s time to embrace the Eeyore in the room
I
grew up with a copy of the Desiderata stuck to the back of the toilet door. That hokey guide to a life lived well was all the go in the 1970s, and the observation that we are all “a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars” was a permanent comfort. As a result, I’m always open to a little homespun wisdom in the form of a catchy aphorism. Yes, life really can be reduced to a greeting card – that’s why clichés become hard currency: they ring true. So when I was sent this little item on Twitter the other day, the sender could have had no idea how deeply it would affect me. Have a look: “One awesome thing about Eeyore is that even though he is basically clinically depressed, he still gets invited to participate in adventures and shenanigans with all of his friends. And they never expect him to pretend to feel happy, they just love him anyway, and they never leave him behind or ask him to change.” Eeyore, the gloomy donkey from A.A. Milne’s classic series of Winnie-the-Pooh books, is the character that completes the magic circle of personality archetypes

The sweet, thoughtful one everyone loves of depression using the Pooh Principle, which is to stop (Pooh), the brains of the operation (Piglet), the one who pathologising this condition, to stop angsting about thinks they’re the brains (Owl), the party boy (Tigger), “what” to do for and with our friends and family with the mother figure (Kanga) and Christopher Robin – the depression and simply include them, and their issues, in person we all want to grow up to be. our life, work and play. To invite them and be with them Eeyore represents the dark side, but in the House at and not expect anything more than they can give on Pooh Corner books this side of our personality is that day. To, of course, join them in their efforts to never shoved to one side but, as this observation battle the more damaging aspects of depression, from an online Eeyore fan blog demonstrates, but to also accept that this could be part of they don’t is represented and included as a normal part modern life for a long time to come. see the of life. Forget beyondblue, let’s start talking I hope this does not sound defeatist, as about beyond Pooh. if I am condemning people to debilitating flowers I know many people like Eeyore. Some think depression and anxiety. Instead, I’d like to their problem is just a matter of perspective, of start a conversation about letting our friends looking on the bright side a bit more often – cheer and family off the hook. I know how many of up! I don’t know if they are all “clinically depressed” those dealing with depression feel as if by their mere or not, but they don’t see flowers, they see weeds, and presence in that state they are ruining the day, spoiling if they don’t receive the kind of fond and interested the vibe: we need to let those we love know that we attention that others do, that comes as no surprise: do just that – we love them.

so go about your day with a peg on the back of your head. Hysterical, yes, except that all those pegs have to fall somewhere. Then there’s the weird weight-loss posts with pictures of Fifi Box and eggs inside avocados littering my newsfeed. What are those? I never asked for them. Nor did I invite the spare buttons, those that come in individual plastic packets with new cardigans and slacks, into my house. They are currently residing in the bathroom cabinet alongside numerous nit-removing combs that accompany every bottle but pull at their hair just a bit so are never used, but kept, of course, because you just never know. Who makes these things? Who puts them in “stop it, the boxes and sticks the stickers on top? The stop the absorbent paper that lines the meat trays, now menus and red with blood. Strange little packets of beads that come with wraps and two-minute noodles. bread ties” All this to contend with and still, every day, new fast-food menus arrive in the letterbox. All for pizza, too, which I don’t eat, never for Thai or Vietnamese or Indian, which I’d much prefer. Now our fast-food menu collection is epic. It is spilling out of our kitchen drawer. It needs to be curated, itemised, alphabetised, because we may well have every current fast-food menu in circulation, but none for any food I would like to eat. Stop it, stop the menus and the bread ties, the nit combs and all the small, sticky stuff. I don’t want to not sweat it, I want to kiss it all goodbye. \ khall@theweeklyreview.com.au (iStockphoto \ THINKSTOCK)
ou know the saying “don’t sweat the small stuff”? Well, this week I am because I’ve just discovered 2000 of those small plastic clippy things that go on the end of a loaf of bread – at the bottom of my freezer. And then, in the fruit bowl, an entire layer of apple stickers. It’s fruit sticker découpage. One of the kids is also using them to wallpaper the side of the once-very-nice chest-of-drawers in her room. They are there, carefully arranged alongside a collection of barcodes she’s pulled off the back of books and new sports socks, arranged in such a grand fashion because, maybe, like me, she just doesn’t know what to do with all these little bits of plastic stickiness that have no official name, no brand or special identity of their own, but were once quite useful in their own silly way. Every day I find them. The plastic ties that connect new clothes with price tags, which I never get around to cutting off, so they bite and itch and scratch their way through my day. The hair ties that lie in fuzzy corners all over my house, invisible when I need them. The lids of pens, once pretty useful, now obsolete but for the fun they give our puppy. Except when she chokes on them. Hairy, freestyle, inedible Mentos on the bottom of my bag, making friends with a mountain of supermarket and automatic teller receipts. Why, oh why, are receipts given out so freely? Who needs to prove they once bought a packet of carrots from the IGA or adds everything up just to make sure they got it right? In our house, clothes pegs are everywhere, too, because in our house a random, sneaky hug comes with the surreptitious planting of a clothes peg on your person. But you don’t know because it’s a trick, and

watches. So many new releases. So many glittering showcases and presentations. So many things to Instagram and Facebook. Second, the brand pavilions. Remember the World Expo ’88, in Brisbane? It’s like that, but every single brand is the New Zealand pavilion. They spend millions in an effort to outdo each other. It’s like an architectural and interior design space race of materials and magnitude. They are entirely ridiculous and fantastic. TAG Heuer’s pavilion looks like a giant spaceship that has split apart on impact with an alien planet. Breitling’s resembles the Melbourne Aquarium, with hotter models (male and female) at the entry. Rolex and Omega look just like you imagine: gigantic, towering edifices of sheer big-brand power. At this, the world’s largest watch fair – in Basel, Switzerland, and only weeks away – brands begin sharing their releases ahead of the jump. These are some of the highlights. \ amcutchen@theweeklyreview.com.au
Omega \ Speedmaster Mark II
Most men know a Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional when they see one. As far as luxury watches go, it’s instantly recognisable, relatively affordable, iconic and versatile. So, it’s great. Why then, re-release the Speedmaster II, first launched in 1969? Because, well, Omega can and when it comes to iconic designs, an inch is a mile: you need to change them only slightly to have a big impact on the overall look. The main differences between this and the Mark I are the barrel-shaped case in radially brushed steel and the
Maurice Lacroix \ Masterpiece Gravity
the manual transparent tachymetric scale on the sapphire crystal, which is illuminated from beneath. It’s really a very neat trick. RRP $7325
Maurice Lacroix is relatively young for a watch brand and is therefore considered in the “upstart” category. It handles the mantle well and uses it as something of a springboard to make interesting watches with dashes of flair and impressive levels of skill in their engineering. The soon-to-be-released 43-millimetre Masterpiece Gravity is a good example, with a large balance wheel on the dial and a partly open-worked case that reveals components made of silicon. They are lighter than metal and have less need for lubrication. More straightforward is its new Pontos S Supercharged dive watch, which has a huge 48-millimetre case size and bright colour-infused metals. Horses, and seahorses, for courses. POA
Blancpain \ Villeret
Blancpain is a brand favoured by Russian President Vladimir Putin, but don’t hold that against this high-end maison. Its cachet is in its experience – the company was founded in 1753 – and its elegance. No bells (apart from on its minute repeater models – watch-geek humour, sorry), no whistles, just the simple things done well. Such as an enamel “grand feu” dial on this new Villeret model that is fired at 1000 degrees, with the numerals retouched by hand. The eight days’ power reserve on this automatic winding 42-millimetre model hints at the mastery at work within the case; that’s roughly four times longer than average. POA

Tech Talk \ Rod Easdown finds a speaker system that’s music to the ears What \ Bose SoundTouch 30
price \ $899
Tech talk verdict \ Happy wife, happy life
G
etting to try out the latest tech gadgets at home may sound good but it’s often disappointing. While these things usually do as promised, I’m seldom unhappy to send them back because I’ve discovered their annoying quirks and shortcomings. Occasionally I get a product I want to buy. The last was an umbrella that stands up to high winds. Before that, in 2004, it was some noise-cancelling headphones. Even so, I’d been looking forward to getting a Bose SoundTouch 30. I’d used it at its launch and in the shops, but home is the acid test. And at home something quite unprecedented happened. My non-technical, only just iPhone-literate wife played with it for 30 minutes and told me we have to get one. She’s even figured out where it will go. I’m not arguing. SoundTouch is neat. It’s a high-quality speaker system that hooks into your home wireless network and streams music from your phone, your tablet and your computer. Nothing new there. But it also has software built in to get internet radio and Pandora, and Bose says other music libraries are on the way. We’re big fans of Pandora, a predictive music library that takes your musical preferences and serves up the stuff you like, along with stuff it figures you’ll like. It guesses correctly most of the time, so you have a continuous stream of new and interesting music. What makes Pandora-through-SoundTouch so
compelling is convenience. There are six preset buttons on top and all you do is press one. This starts it, hooks it into whatever the preset is tuned for (one of your Pandora stations, an internet radio, the music on your phone) and starts playing. It’s so simple, fast and convenient, and it sounds so good that you tend to use it all the time, so the house is always full of music. When you’ve finished coffee and can’t put off housework any longer, changing from background music to Johnny Cash takes one button press. It goes so loud, without distortion, you can hear Mr Cash over the vacuum cleaner, important when he is integral to housework (I’ve found Elvis Costello also works well, as do the Doobie Brothers and Gypsy & the Cat). Quirks and shortcomings: the set-up, although easy, can take 30 minutes; start-up station loading often seemed to jam, which may be a firewall issue (flipping between presets got it going). Track information, shown at the start of the track only, is fleeting. The sound quality, while bass-oriented, is excellent. Add extra SoundTouch units and you get music wherever they are placed, too, with the same or different programs. The only problem I face now is the $899 involved, although there are a couple of cheaper offerings – a portable and the smaller SoundTouch 20 are both $549. \ reasdown@theweeklyreview.com.au

plain of red sand stretching to the horizon is the first clue to this garden’s unique design. It is a revelation for eyes accustomed to the English garden model that has dominated Australian design for decades. The Australian Garden, designed by Taylor Cullity Lethlean (TCL) with designer and horticulturalist Paul Thompson, was declared the Landscape Project of the Year at the World Architecture Festival Awards held in Singapore late last year. The winning garden is part of the 25-hectare Royal Botanic Gardens in Cranbourne, an hour’s drive from Melbourne via the Monash Freeway and South Gippsland Highway. If you haven’t been there, a sensory feast awaits. “The main theme of the garden is to take visitors on a journey of water from the centre of Australia to the continental edge,’’ says TCL director Perry Lethlean. “It’s a metaphorical journey through our landscape, beginning in the desert, travelling to experiences of escarpments, rivers, coastal edges and urban landscape.” He and the other garden designers hope it will help people better understand the nature of our landscape having been formed by water, flood and drought. “This is much more than simply the reproduction of the Australian landscape; it’s a highly designed, sculptural and artistic response,” he says. The gardens were 17 years in the making. The site, which was gifted to the state, was a sand mine denuded of vegetation and surrounded by pristine bushland. The desert view first stage, the sand garden that evokes the red centre, was finished in 2006. “You don’t go into this impression of a desert landscape, but instead visitors are able to view it like a Japanese garden and enter into the landscape via their imagination. We didn’t want people to walk on it, because the sense of depth would be totally lost, so it is a very painterly approach,” says Lethlean, who studied garden design in Japan and has become keenly aware of its influence on his work. The second stage expresses elements of the urban landscape and was completed in mid-2012. The garden is made up of 170,000 plants and 1700 species selected for their adaptability and drought tolerance. “The main intent was to inspire visitors to see our flora in new ways and hopefully to inspire them to use it in their own gardens,” “The main Lethlean says. “Only in the last 25 years intent was has there been a real recognition that our to inspire” continent has beautiful landscapes and beautiful flora, and that our gardens and our parks and our botanic gardens should be referencing and inspired by that landscape rather than importing ideas from around the world.” textured garden Creating the gardens was a collaboration of people with different skills, Lethlean says, the main players and asked, ‘Why don’t we convey the tenacity and the being TCL’s founding member Kevin Taylor and wife harshness and the patterns of the landscape?’ Kate Cullity, Paul Thompson and Lethlean himself. “I saw my job as composing those intentions, to make “There wasn’t the sort of hero designer who came it a beautiful picture.” down and said,”This is my view’,” he says. He pays tribute to the client, the Royal Botanic “Kevin had a lovely design ethos and a poetic Gardens, and the vision of its now retired director, Dr response to the landscape. He developed the narrative Philip Moors. “It’s rare in our work for a client to say, of the garden and had a great affinity with the desert,

‘Challenge and inspire us and do something that hasn’t been done before’.” One of the moving elements is a memorial garden near the Eucalypt Walk. Vertical panes soaring upwards are inscribed with poetic quotes that celebrate the life of Kevin Taylor, who died in a car accident in Darwin in August 2011. He was 57. Once the gardens were open to the public, they took on a life of their own. Visiting children, for instance, used the waterway as an alternative track. “That was all a fantastic accident really; we never thought of it as a pathway, just water to look out on,” Lethlean says. The designers received another unexpected gift when testing the water pumps. “A few minutes after we turned the pump back on, there was a fantastic effect of hearing the trickle of water and then seeing the first flows fall down the waterfall. That was a total accident.” Now the water feature is on a cycle where it dries out and springs back to life. “It’s a fantastic metaphor for how our river systems dry out,” Lethlean says. \ ckennedy@theweeklyreview.com.au » www.tcl.net.au

O
(LUIS ENRIQUE ASCUi)
ne sunny afternoon strutting along Union Street in Windsor, I stopped “lawn to watch a bunch of bowls is a people in white outfits precision playing lawn bowls. sport” The game seemed indescribably slow so I had to concentrate to notice the teeniest crescendo. I was nevertheless transfixed but not sure what was holding my attention; soon I realised it wasn’t the motion of the bowls but the players themselves that were fascinating. The longer I watched the more it appeared as if the players of each team (doubles) had an awareness of things unsaid, thus enabling moves to be played out without discussion. Lawn bowls is a precision sport that requires the sort of hand-to-eye co-ordination that would turn me into a deranged sociopath. The bowls are biased so they don’t roll in a straight line but in a curve. This makes the skill of bowling extremely challenging because it relies on bowlers judging the distance, weight and their aim – at the same time. The aim of the game is to roll your bowl from the mat to the target (the jack) so it stops nearer to the jack than your opponent’s bowl. The size of the bowl can range from sizes 00–7 depending on the player’s age and the size of their hands; your grip is fundamental to your success. There are two main grips – the claw grip or the cradle grip – either way your bowl should sit upright in your hand, otherwise it will turn onto its side while rolling. I’m already on my knees whimpering!
