NEW KID DENIS Before Bart Simpson, there was Dennis the Menace the comic strip, on TV and film – and now the café (sans one “n” in Denis). Just opened, the brainchild of St Edmonds’ Adam Wilkinson is drawing the hipster brekkie / lunch crowd with a menu that includes The One With Muesli ($12.50), gluten-free muesli with Farmer Joe’s coconut yoghurt, with vanilla, strawberries, kiwi and banana.

Playful meets healthy meets sustainable is the vibe in the 100-pax restaurant, decked out as an interior forest with kitchen trees, solar panels, worm farm and bio-tank – “a mix of the carefree and cheekiness of children with the attention and ambition of adulthood,” says architect Simon Cookes. “We pictured a boy building with his grandfather, armed with a twig sling shot and good intentions.” ● (SUPPLIED)

When a bottle of Bodegas Muriel Fundación Maga El Sueño 2011 from Spain’s Rioja region passed our lips we were immediately impressed. This tempranillo from 40-year-old vines is a good example of modern-era Rioja. Its bright cherry, plums, strawberry, tobacco and spice aromas and flavours are enticing and its structure – with fine, powdery tannins and bright, juicy acid and depth of flavour – are an excellent reason to pick up a bottle. Then we found out that all the profit for this wine – around $10 in Australia – goes Bodegas Muriel Fundación Maga El towards building schools in Cambodia and Sierra Leone.

Sueño 2011, 750ml $30, is available It’s hard to go past a good wine for a good cause. ● at independent liquor stores.

his week’s cover story on our Premier’s T wife, Catherine Andrews, got me thinking about that hoary old concept of the

superwoman. In the ’80s, magazines were full of tales of a mythical creature who could kick goals in a high-flying career, raise beautifully mannered children, maintain a house straight from the pages of Vogue Living Living, work out five days a week and still find the energy for a loving relationship. Then women got real. We wised up that no one would die if we didn’t iron the kids’ school uniforms or bought a charcoal chook for dinner. Just getting the kids off to school on time and arriving at work with two matching shoes was an achievement.

So, what to make of a mother of three who has a master’s degree in history, runs marathons, is on a swag of committees and public service initiatives, pitches in on school excursions and sausage sizzles and has been named the Premier’s secret weapon?

She might sound like a superwoman, but Catherine insists she’s little different to legions of other suburban mums struggling to find that elusive work/life balance. Read Peter Wilmoth’s enlightening interview inside. ●

I

remember the phrase well. The newsroom of any busy metropolitan newspaper is by necessity a place of shorthand, both actual and metaphorical, and the commonplace descriptions of the good or the bad – a cracker of a yarn, just a follow-up, a bit of basement colour (the bottom of the page) – got the message straight with minimal fuss.

When police rounds would run through the list of that day’s yarns, one of the most common of the commonplaces was the dead-end description of a story nobody intended following up: “Nah, don’t worry – it’s just a domestic.” I know: I used the phrase “dead end” just there, didn’t I? I meant it.

But you didn’t have to work in a newspaper to be familiar with the dismissive and relegating meaning of this well-worn phrase: it’s one communities around the country have long been familiar with.

It describes the known, unknown and suspected horrors lurking behind suburban doorways for generations, and it’s been a terribly useful one. The phrase contains

“it describes the horrors lurking behind doorways” the description of the event and the proper response to it – which should be nothing, because there are some crimes that are simply none of our business. Rather like the suspicions about clerical abuse: just not to be talked about, thank you.

I’ve written before in this place about the change that has taken place in this country, about the horrific prevalence of family violence and its shameful acceptance. It still amazes me to see television news and newspapers starting to routinely report such incidents: the word “just” seems finally to have been shrugged off.

This week an email popped up, announcing a new journalism prize that would have been unthinkable even five years ago. News of the Our Watch Awards – recognising excellence in journalism that contributes to a deeper understanding of violence against women – would have been met with jeers about political correctness and reverse sexism. Now the figures about the number of women killed in this country each year by their male partners are as well known as the road toll, the jeers have stopped.

After completing her Antipodean version of Game of Thrones with The Killing Season, my friend and colleague Sarah Ferguson is working on a documentary that looks inside the lives of those fleeing family violence – mothers, children, babies and those who try to protect them. It will doubtless provide the next important conversation about what drives this violence and why it persists.

It is a sickening mystery. On holiday recently I was surrounded by just the same kinds of families of ordinary seeming mums

and kids the statistics show will end up nightly homeless or in shelters in a desperate attempt to survive abuse.

I found myself watching them closely: are there signs you can see if you just pay close enough attention? That affable family man with the three boisterous kids – the one who has had a can of beer in his hand from 11am until tropical sunset – is he the one who builds to an uncontainable fury once they’re all behind their hotel door? Are men I know and trust emotionally controlling, abusive, contemptuous of women? What are the signs?

Just as the road toll became a national conversation when too many of our fellow Australians were dying in scandalous numbers, and the painful discussion began about the behaviour that drove these deaths, it seems to me we are on the cusp of that next discussion about the social dynamics that allow it to occur – and that’s going to be the biggest and most confronting one of all. ● Virginia Trioli is co-host of ABC News Breakfast on ABC1 and ABC News 24, 6-9am weekdays

JULY 8, 2015 \ THE WEEKLY REVIEW 7

O

ne day when Catherine Andrews was an 18-year-old student at Monash University she walked into the common room in the college where she was living and met a young brainiac called Daniel. He was watching Sale of the Century and answering all the questions.

“In between answering all the questions he was being very, very funny,” she says. “I thought, ‘Oh, interesting’, you know? It was definitely one of those moments where I thought, ‘I’m going to sit next to you’.”

She did. “He still remembers what I was wearing,” she says. “It was the ’90s, so I had a psychedelic body suit and purple jeans. He still says, ‘You were wearing that amazing outfit’.”

The pair dated for five years and in 1998 Daniel proposed to Catherine. She was 24. They married on New Year’s Eve that year. “You don’t want to muck around,” she says. “When you know, you know.”

The young woman in the psychedelic body suit is, of course, now the Premier’s wife, Victoria’s “first lady”.

We’ve met at a photographic studio in Prahran.

As her minder hands her a takeaway coffee, she seems utterly unaffected by the overnight fame that came when her husband became Premier last November.

Our interview seems more like a chat in a café about the usual stuff – kids, busy lives, trying to keep fit, finding time to pursue a hobby. This is a woman who does not stand on ceremony. It’s not hard to see why she was described before last year’s state election as her husband’s “secret weapon”.

Daniel becoming Premier has changed the family’s life only in the sense that it’s even busier. With three children – Noah, 12, Grace, 10, and Joseph, eight – the Andrews face similar challenges to most families, “signing school notices and washing uniforms”.

“As a family unit we haven’t changed at all,” Catherine says.

“It’s still Dan and myself and the three kids. We’re exactly the same. The world around us has changed slightly. We haven’t forgotten who we are.

e n i r e h t a C & Peter PETER WILMOTH MEETS CATHERINE ANDREWS

P I C T U R E S \ J U L E S TA H A N

“I had grown up in a family that wasn’t necessarily overly political and when I went to university that changed quite a lot. I signed up to [study] politics, wasn’t very good at it, met this really clever man [Dan] and I knocked on the door in the evenings to say, ‘Can you help me with this?’.

“I’m very grateful to Jeff for his concern about me too. He says, ‘You’ve got young children, don’t overwork yourself’.”

She is also an ambassador for Premier’s Active April, which encourages people to exercise, and Sunsmart Victoria, Cancer Council Victoria’s skin-cancer control program. She wants to use the opportunities she has. “I could choose to do nothing and I could choose to continue with my editing business that I’ve been running for a number of years,” she says. “I could try to do both but I think that would be almost impossible.

“Or I could take this opportunity of a lifetime and give back and contribute wherever I can. Daniel has this line that he often says at schools and various places, ‘If you have the opportunity, you have the obligation’.

“I agree with that. I have this opportunity now because of my profile … to do some really great things that are very interesting, challenging, thought-provoking, entertaining, fascinating. So I’m thrilled to be in this position.”

Life’s busy but then it always has been. “Daniel’s been a member of parliament for 12½ years. During that time I’ve been working and raising three children. We’ve always been extremely busy but it’s certainly stepped it up a notch. We just have to be more organised now.”

I

ask Catherine about the view, commonly expressed by men, that they devote too much time to their work and regret missing out on watching their kids growing up.

“It plays on his mind,” she says. “The children are our top priority. They’re all beautiful, they’re all very different and they’re a complete blessing.”

The juggle is a challenge. “But there are lots of people we know who are not involved in politics and they are struggling to find the work-life balance as well … I’m not sure we’ve got that balance right yet, but we’re working on it,” she says.

What do the kids think about their dad being Premier?

“They barrack for him on the TV. Sometimes it’s the only

Premier Crew “You have to maintain your family routines, the things you’ve always celebrated together. They’re the important things, whether you’re in politics or not. Of course [the children] are our top priority. The children’s birthdays are very firmly in the diary, Daniel’s birthday, my birthday, our wedding anniversary is on New Year’s Eve, so that’s great because very rarely can work interfere with celebrations around that.”

Nor has the family’s change of circumstance meant they are treated all that differently by the public. “We’re very lucky here in Australia,” she says. “People are very respectful.

Wherever we’ve been people just say hi and let us go about our day.”

Maybe it’s a product of an egalitarian Australia? “I’m very grateful for it actually. In another country it could be very different, especially when we’re out with the children.”

atherine, 40, grew up with two older brothers in Mornington, near the beach. If it was hot her mother would take her for a swim on the way home from school. She was active in ballet, netball and piano. It was, she says, an idyllic upbringing. She dreamed of being a ballerina.

She attended ballet classes until university. In 2001, after a long break from dancing, she got a call from her ballet teacher who asked her to dance in a performance. “When I did this concert I realised I should have never given it up,” she says.

“Muscle memory is quite phenomenal. If you have learnt 8 THE WEEKLY REVIEW \ JULY 8, 2015

any form of exercise growing up, your body doesn’t forget.”

She now attends ballet classes each Tuesday night in Prahran.

“That’s my day,” she says.

Catherine has even danced on Broadway in New York. “I did a couple of classes on Broadway. You can just rock up to any class in the world because ballet is an international language.” Her friends at the Australian Ballet Company in Australia helped her find it.

“It’s amazing. It’s a bit like being in Fame – there’s a pianist in the corner and 50 people in the room moving through line by line, people of all standards.” New York is her “second favourite city in the world”.

She did an arts degree with a double major in English and history, then a master’s in public history. In recent years she has worked as a freelance copy editor, writing such things as wine labels and death notices, which is what she was doing until Daniel got the top job and life became too hectic to continue.

Last year former Liberal premier Jeff Kennett approached her to be on the board of The Torch Project, which helps indigenous prisoners connect with their culture. Kennett, chairman of beyondblue, told her he had been “impressed with you in the media”. She joined the board earlier this year.

“It’s really nice that he reached out,” she says. “In 1992, when he became premier of Victoria, I turned 18. He figured very large in my life growing up, especially spending my life with someone who was very heavily involved in politics.

time of the day when they’ll see him, so they like to watch the news,” she says.

“Noah has just started secondary school, so we were a bit aware of how that might be for him. The kids at his school have just been amazing, really friendly – ‘We know who your dad is’, ‘Good on him’.

“The little ones have been at the same school all along and the parents and teachers at the school know Dan and me.

I’ve been on every excursion there is to go on, done the sizzle wizzles (sausage sizzle fund-raisers), the school fête.”

Catherine keeps fit with gym and running. Last year she ran the Melbourne Marathon. “My best friend said we should do a marathon the year we turned 40. Anything for a day off.”

The sole controversy Catherine has faced is when the car she was driving, with her children on board, hit a cyclist, who was not injured. “It was terrible, so traumatic,” she says. “It was really traumatic for everybody involved … The media onslaught in the days after was very stressful. The most important thing was the young cyclist was OK. “I rang the hospital on dozens of occasions to check on him and the outcome, thank God, was good. It was awful, really awful.”

The media’s focus was that Dan Andrews had not made the incident public, on the grounds his wife was a private

“As a family unit we haven’t changed at all. The world around us has changed slightly” citizen, although she was driving a taxpayer-funded car. How did she see the privacy debate around that? “To tell you the truth, I was thinking more about the child on the bike and my own children.”

She says she loves being a parent. “We both do. Our children are amazing. Noah’s taken up the drums. So he’s got the drums and the violin. Joseph loves soccer and he’s rediscovered roller skates, so he’s been flat-out up and down.

“Grace is very adventurous. She does ballet and contemporary dance and has taken to learning to ride a unicycle. There are card tricks and unicycles and roller-skating and drums. It’s flat out. They’re very busy.”

She says her partnership with Daniel is a great one. “We’ve been together for 22 years. He’s my best friend. We talk about everything. We know each other really well … We’re really lucky, we work as an amazing team. I couldn’t do my role without him and vice versa.

“He’s my best friend in the whole world and I’m very lucky that I found in my best friend someone I could spend the rest of my life with.” ● pwilmoth@theweeklyreview.com.au

Catherine’s Melbourne “We live in Mulgrave in the house we bought 12 years ago, in Dan’s electorate.

Our neighbours are our friends. We wouldn’t live anywhere else … Dan became a member of parliament four months after we moved in. I was pregnant and letter-boxing the area. I got to meet all my neighbours that way.

I introduced myself and said, ‘My husband’s running to be the local member of parliament, my name’s Catherine and, as you can see, I’m pregnant with our first child’. And they embraced me in their warm, loving arms.

“I have beautiful neighbours who are quite elderly, who are just my friends. I used to take them to the movies but they’re getting a bit old now.

“There’s nothing I don’t like about [Victoria].

“There’s never a dull moment. I love the arts, I love the Australian Ballet, I love the [NGV], the regional galleries of Victoria, I love our food and wine, I love the natural beauty of our state [and] its vastness. I love the city and fashion and food and coffee … I love all aspects of Victoria.”

Dan and Catherine sometimes get to go out for a meal.“We love Grossi Florentino. It’s like visiting Italy without jumping on the plane. There are a lot of great bars [in Melbourne]. In an ideal world we’d get to have dinner more often but the truth is he’s so busy that it doesn’t happen very often, so it’s quite special when we do go out.” ●

he ran up to the end of the field and kicked the ball right into the goal, and then she said, “that felt f---ing fantastic”.

While a ripple of shock mixed with quiet amusement passed through the parental pack – because this was a fourteen-year-old girl, after all – I don’t think I was alone in feeling a sense of relief because for once it wasn’t my kid swearing.

Our swear jar is a bucket. Right now it’s so full there’s probably enough coin in there to get us all to Disneyland for a week.

Some might argue that it is not necessarily working as a deterrent, given it is overflowing.

Others might say the kids are doing pretty well at making sure they get to Disneyland.

Yet if you come from my generation, where the use of any kind of contraband word, especially those that describe a particular part of your body or something that came out of it, was met with fairly brutal doses of corporal punishment (in primary school the nuns lined us up in a row and whacked us with rulers; they might have made a career out of holding back but in the instance of swearing

they did not), you might understand why some of us turn a blind eye to our kids using the odd expletive.

Especially when they might or might not have learnt it from us.

At least mine know to only swear in the privacy of our home – I hope. They mostly use it to horrify and insult each other, a particularly delightful aspect of their relationship. I have tried to tell them that conjuring sentences using every single swear word you know and directing them at your sibling might have more impact if you didn’t do it at five-minute intervals every single day, but to no avail.

To them it’s become a sport.

Calling out your sister for being a “beatch” while also using a hair flick is awesome fun apparently.

“At least mine know to only swear in the privacy of our home – i hope” One time, when my youngest was four, she was so surprised to hear a priest use the word “Jesus” at a christening she kept repeating it right through the service. Even from a very young age she had an ear for a no-go word. No, she wasn’t using her inside voice and, yes, the church was quiet.

Her aptitude for picking up on swear words and reusing them in the right context was declared a definite sign of her intelligence by the other adult in this

house. I might or might not have said she is just copying you, you big buffoon. Now she is eight she collects them like rocks. At the moment her pocket money goes straight into the swear jar, so it is likely the Disneyland trip will be on her.

I use swear words only in moments of extreme frustration, or when something breaks. The other adult tends to be more free-flowing on the expletive front, but neither of us is an angel. We’ve all got an investment in that trip to Disneyland.

Anyway …

Back to the soccer. Might there be an argument here, in saying that this particular word – putting its literal meaning aside – was used in this incident for good not bad, to emphasise how great the kid felt because she kicked a goal? Can we forgive her, because it wasn’t delivered as an insult or to express anger but in the spirit of celebration?

And she won the match, FFS. ● khall@theweeklyreview.co.au

GOLDEN NEEDLE MUSHROOM & SPANNER CRAB CHAWANMUSHI

and she repeats the process as she presents us with dark, shield-shaped pottery dishes bearing pairs of grilled Otway shiitake mushrooms scattered with a golden dust of fungus, seaweed and sesame seeds.

Melbourne’s newest high-end Japanese restaurant seats 40 diners within its hushed stone and timber interior. It’s concealed behind a heavy glass door at the base of an apartment complex in a Richmond laneway.

And it’s all about perfection.

From the formal placemat-straightening elements of the service, to the precision with which the two sushi chefs prepare the 15-course $150-a-head sushi omakase banquet, nothing here is ill-considered.

Sushi master Koichi Minamishima (ex Kenzan) opened his first restaurant earlier this year. Bookings are taken and arrival times are expected to be prompt.

Minamishima and his sous chef Hajime Horiguchi (ex Wasabi, Noosa) work in tandem. Horiguchi moulds mounds of sushi rice as Minamishima slices, trims and compresses sea perch, king dory, blue fin tuna belly, geoduck, eel and scallop offerings that are proudly presented on serious-looking serving platters of various shapes.

Some proteins are lightly charred, others unadulterated. A golden needle mushroom and spanner crab chawanmushi (egg custard)

broth is extraordinary for its light texture and subtle flavour. The custard pools at the bottom of the bowl and the noodles of mushroom float in the broth beneath a cottony cloud of shellfish.

There’s a mound of cherry blossom-smoked beef cheek in an “oh wow” wedge of sticky sauce and a golden persimmon sorbet to cleanse the palate. Lightly charred sea eel is

partnered with a pretty basket of glistening, seaweed-wrapped salmon roe. An oleaginous fish broth bears a parcel of layered tofu.

For dessert, gelatinous cubes of Okinawa black sugar warabi mocha rest inside a halved walnut shell on a bed of tea leaves, scattered with precision. ● LEANNE EANNE TOLRA ltolra@theweeklyreview.com.au

Cellar Notes VERSUS

Cattier Brut Premier Cru ($40 at Liquorland). With smoky stonefruit, zesty citrus and Saltine biscuit aromas, this is a gentle, elegant champagne rather than one of intensity and drive.

There’s much to like about the structure of chalky acid, grip and a driving finish of grilled peaches and lemon.

Club Armada Dark Rum, available from First Choice, is quite the bargain for $30.

Perfect for cocktails and smooth enough to sip straight, it smells of caramel, vanilla and white chocolate and has a smoky brown sugar flavour on the finish.

ricketers’ love of a drink is well known.

Over the years the game has influenced a few winemakers, too, with wines named Cricket Pitch, Second Innings and Cover Drive. With The Ashes getting under way this week and games on TV starting at 8.30pm, there’s a good chance there will be a drink in your hand.

What’s it going to be? For me, it depends on where the game is.

Sophia Gardens, Cardiff: It’s all about grain rather than grape in Wales. Wales’ biggest beer, Brains, can be found on the shelves of better beer shops and Dan Murphy’s stocks Penderyn whisky.

London, Lord’s. Lord’s is the only cricket ground in the world where you can take in a bottle of wine.

Birmingham, Edgbaston: This is the nation’s curry capital. Semillon-sauvignon blanc blends and rich shiraz pair perfectly with spicy dishes.

I love Bentleigh JIM M AGEE \ 56

For a sneaky takeaway?

The Mackie Road shops. You will never go home hungry because there’s lots to choose from. My favourites include Alektor Charcoal Grill and Vithos Fish & Chippery.

Glen Eira mayor Jim Magee has called East Bentleigh home for more than 25 years.

Jim speaks warmly about his suburb – it’s a vibrant and safe place to bring up a family, he says.

He likes that the community is tightly knit, and he enjoys spending time in East Bentleigh’s many great parks and at the Glen Eira Sports and Aquatic Centre on East Boundary Road.

For a big night out?

I don’t often get the chance for a big night out but I love the ballet at the Arts Centre and having dinner in the city.

Where do you go for a great cup of coffee?

Black Salt in Centre Road, just near Mackie Road. It has the best coffee in Melbourne and is now my second office. I have many meetings there.

When friends come from out of town?

There are so many great places in Bentleigh and McKinnon to take them. My favourite at the moment is Fabulous Fine Food and Mr Burch in McKinnon Road. ● LUKE HENRIQUES-GOMES

I have been going to Just Cuts in Oakleigh for more than 25 years. My haircut? Two on the sides and six on the top.

GIVE IT A GO TERESA MURPHY OUTSOURCES HER SALES

R E M O T E E B AY

The promise Caulfield eBay trader Simone Hayman takes away the stress of selling your possessions.

Downsizing the family home, for example, can be emotional for sellers.

The reality Simone combines professionalism with warmth and empathy; she is a pleasure to deal with and turns what we expected to be a nerve-wracking experience into a breeze. She comes to your home, assesses, measures and photographs everything, works out with you what prices she should start at, uploads the items to eBay for auction, handles the PayPal transaction (cash can also be paid to the owner on collection) and emails a spreadsheet listing all items, buyers’ details, and sale price.

Items can start at auction as low as 99 cents to lure in the bidders. “The market always dictates,” says Simone, who has a 99.6 per cent positive feedback rating on eBay. The pay-off It’s fascinating to watch what people bid for: they love the rusty wrought-iron outdoor furniture, gilt mirrors and 1950s bedheads.

Even the roses in the garden sell. Buyers come

from all over Victoria and Simone arranges to ship some items to Tasmania. We make thousands more than we expected.

The pain factor Most buyers are pleasant to deal with; only two refuse to take the goods, which Simone immediately relists. If goods don’t sell, she will relist for free.

Who should do it?

Downsizers and renovators, in the main.

Simone sells house contents, including whole kitchens and bathrooms, fixtures and fittings.

The bill Avoiding the stress of photographing, listing and selling was worth the 30 per cent commission; Simone earned every cent of it.

WOULD I DO IT AGAIN? I have nothing left to sell. But yes, it’s a great service. ● Sell For Me www.sellforme.com.au www.ebay.com.au Simone Hayman 0425 329 247

About us

Anais Abrahams-Fletcher is in grade six at Wesley College. Her mum, Georgi Abrahams, attended St Leonard’s College, in Brighton East, in the 1980s.

ANAIS \ 11

GEORGI \ 47

My favourite subject at school is … Maths, because I get to learn different ways to solve questions.

My favourite subject at school was … Art, as it was my natural strength, and geography. I was fascinated by the science of it.

Is it better to be popular or smart? Being popular is having a friend by your side. It’s also important to be kind and generous.

Is it better to be popular or smart? While at school, the emphasis was always on knowledge and improving grades. Not all children are academic and the school experience should be more than that. Real life experience shows that positively interacting with people is a key to happiness and success.

That said, I think it’s better to be popular.

I am best at … Drama, music and sport.

Most embarrassing moment at school?

Cartwheeling at camp and landing face first. I wasn’t hurt and laughed it off!

Favourite outfit? Gold runners, black skirt and gold T-shirt.

Favourite outfit? My green cork wedge sandals and a floral printed maxi dress. I was a child of the ’70s.

First concert? The Fairies, when I was little, and recently One Direction.

First concert? My first rock concert was KISS at Waverley Park, 1980.

I can’t live without? My blanket, “Pinky”, and my nail polish.

I couldn’t live without? My mum’s salad rolls.

When I finished school I wanted to … Get a degree in fine art/design. I did that at RMIT.

When I finish school I want to … Be a singer or an actress.

I’m most like Mum in the way that … Mum and I are really strict on rules, but we have a lot of fun together. ●

Focus on friendship: Anais and Georgi love a chat. (MATHEW ATHEW LYNN) A

SURE YOU

wo tribes, one city. A boy and a girl caught in the crossfire. It could be Shakespeare or, come to think of it, an AFL romance gone sour. But in place of Montagues and Capulets (or Magpies and Saints) we have Jets and Sharks. When Jet Tony falls in love with Maria (Anna O’Byrne), sister of the rival gang-leader, sparks are bound to fly. And, being West Side Story Story, we might expect a song or two on the way.

Melburnian Gareth Keegan is the latest actor to step into Tony’s well-worn boots, in the new production of Sondheim and Bernstein’s classic musical. He says while he and director Gale Edwards aren’t moving away from the 1950s New York setting, they’re keen to draw out parallels between events onstage and contemporary issues.

“I feel like we’re alluding to the fact that right now in the world there are similar situations,” Gareth says. “Race is a big one at the moment. Fear of the unknown – not knowing the enemy or why this war began. If you think about a religious war, people grow up just knowing they hate the enemy, but they’re never told why.”

THEATRE

ZUMBA SPIN, HIP HOP & FUNK

That it’s easy to apply the musical’s themes to an ever-changing world might explain why West Side Story remains a crowd-pleaser almost half a century after it was first staged.

“The writing is so clever because it’s so universal, so poetic, that it never gets too specific or stuck. I think it’s refreshing for an audience to go into a theatre and hear something with that clarity, something that isn’t just the usual realist mumbling.”

There’s also the songs, of course. And the near-tragic romance that gives the musical its beating heart. But Gareth says there’s one very simple reason for Melburnians to buy tickets.

“It’s a classic. Something that’s been absolutely crafted and intricately plotted.

Most TV these days is pretty pedestrian, but going to the theatre and seeing West Side Story, it refreshes the palate. It’s like a fine wine.” ● mbartlett@theweeklyreview.com.au » West Side Story opens July 11 at the State Theatre, Arts Centre Melbourne, $24-$126. www.theproductioncompany.com.au

U

p this bluestone driveway, you’ll find two separately titled residences ready for contemporary living. Just completed, they are the brain-children of an owner-builder who (though a plumber by trade) should soon find himself in demand for more than pipework.

Behind the retained Spanish mission façade of the front residence, it’s cutting-edge all the way – with architecturally designed houses displaying individual angles on 21st-century luxury.

Solid fencing and a north-facing front garden introduce the triple-arched balcony of 93a1. The foyer heralds a lounge with oak floorboards and a stacked-stone wall accommodating a fireplace.

Cathedral ceilings soar to great heights, while the walls and ceilings are brilliantly white.

Spread out under massive skylights, kitchen, dining and family areas are open to the lounge. Forest-green cabinetry lends flair in the kitchen, where integrated Miele and Smeg appliances include fridge, freezer and double ovens, and a mirrored wall in the dining area doubles the spatial pleasure.

One of the bedrooms on ground level has a

PROPERTIES

beautiful en suite. The other opens to a courtyard.

Commandeering the first floor, the main suite claims supremacy with ample storage, a splendid en suite, adjoining study and private balcony.

Number 93a2 presents with futuristic attitude.

Extensive use of glass (skylights, full-length windows and walls) works with glossy floor tiles in inviting and reflecting natural light in the open-plan top level. The kitchen zone sports timber cupboards, and angled glass walls in the dining and living zones make it feel like a five-star spaceship. Glass rules again on the middle level, as glass walls and doors link bedrooms with landscaped courtyards. The basement swaps light for delightful darkness, with a huge home theatre linked to a fitted home office. There’s no problem pumping up the volume down here, as the superstructure assures people upstairs won’t hear a thing.

All fixtures and fittings are remarkable and the list of inclusions is long. Metres from Alma Park and walking distance to Chapel and Carlisle Street action, the location seems perfect for such innovative ideas. ● KAY KEIGHERY property@theweeklyreview.com.au

Parked in the heart of Elwood, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit peeps out over tree-shrouded rooftops. Grab the lift up two floors and open-plan living makes up the lion’s share of the floor plan. A wall of floor-to-ceiling glass means abundant light bounces off polished floors. Reverse-cycle heating keeps you toasty on these cold nights, with cooling for when summer comes around again. There’s a big balcony, too, perfect for when the sun returns. A horseshoe-shaped kitchen has sleek marble benchtops on white cabinetry and stainless-steel Bosch appliances. If you’re doing any dishes by hand, a perfectly placed window means you can gaze out on the hustle and bustle of Ormond Road’s thriving strip.

The spacious main bedroom has luxuriously thick carpets, twin mirrored, built-in wardrobes and a large en suite with a shower. The second bedroom, also with built-in wardrobes, leads to the shared bathroom, which has a European laundry. There’s secure parking for one car, and a storage cage, too.

With its country style and distinctive weatherboard facade, the Hawthorn blends seamlessly with contemporary living and the charm of yesteryear. You will love the warmth of the timber floors and the quality of the finishes like high ceilings, feature cornice, decorative arches and picture rails. The kitchen/family/dining area form an entertainment activity hub which includes a beautiful country kitchen complete with mantelpiece and walk-in pantry. Neatly tucked away behind the kitchen, a stairway leads to your very own attic-style theatre and study/retreat area, proof of the generous living space the Hawthorn has to offer.
