LETTERS TO THE EDITOR \ YOUR SAY UPMARKET MAGAZINE Congratulations. The Weekly Review is a real eye-opener. It is a joy to see it among similar weeklies with nothing substantial but pages of ads (some classifieds are not suitable for children!). The Weekly Review is an upmarket magazine with a wide coverage of interesting subjects such as cars, celebrities, food and wine, gardening, financials, etc. I particularly love the Decanter column. In fact, as soon as I read the first issue, I drove to the named wine store to buy the recommended Spanish wine, only to be told that they were sold out. Luckily, the helpful manager found six bottles from inside a cupboard, and I am now enjoying it! I suggest you also include reviews on DVDs and movies. I am sure The Weekly Review will

attract more affluent readers other than ordinary housewives. I am looking forward to the next issue. Best wishes to the editorial team, and keep up the good work! ROBIN CHING, NORTH BALWYN

STRENGTH TO STRENGTH Just finished reading this week’s edition of The Weekly Review and feel compelled to let you know how much I enjoyed it. Having read all three editions, it is certainly going from strength to strength. The article on Lindsay Tanner and “older dads” was a great read, continuing on from the most interesting article on Lindsay Fox the previous week. It is just such a refreshing and sophisticated presentation and I even enjoy reading the “tasteful” and subtle advertisements. Love the restaurant and barista reviews and all the feature articles. In fact, I read

The Weekly Review from cover to cover last night! The real-estate pages are great to peruse and I loved the Agents’ Choice – “Lunch/Dinner/Coffee” recommendations is a nice personal touch. All in all, there is something for everyone in this exciting and stylish new FREE magazine. Thanks to all concerned. You have my vote. ROSLYN JONES, ASHBURTON

GOOD MIX OF TOPICS I was very impressed with the new-look weekly. The articles were pertinent, with a good mix of topics with an emphasis on a local focus. The photos were of exceptional quality, too; the magazine will be a good addition to my coffee-table collection! MANJIT ANDRADE, SOUTH YARRA

Review\ MOUTHiNG OFF “ ... aTTeNTiON TURNed FROM THe leadeR, keviN RUdd, TO THe lOyal depUTy, jUlia GillaRd. wHeN wOUld THe pRiNceSS Make HeR RUN?”

Just when you thought BeST eNeMieS politics and its variations had nothing new to offer, along comes the UK election. What a time. And now an extraordinary coalition of rivals – not even of the fractious Australian kind – intends to rule Britain in amiable dissimilarity. The Conservatives and the left of left-of-centre Liberal Democrats. And Tony Abbott thinks he has problems. What makes a political marriage of convenience survive? Mutually assured destruction, of course. But just as the scorpion stung the frog as it generously ferried him across the river, sealing both their fates, destruction is sometimes just in a politician’s nature. Some loyalty helps. Michael Heseltine – the former deputy prime minister to the lugubrious British prime minister, John Major – nailed that issue this week when he said that the only way a political partnership of

leader and deputy survives is if there is not “a cigarette paper of separation” between the two of them. If no one – not your supporters, not his supporters – can get in the ear of the partners, then the alliance stays firm and the creeping cancer of doubt, mistrust and paranoia cannot take hold. Good advice for a marriage, really. Of course, with their antsy party members and disgruntled MPs, the chances of the David Cameron/ Nick Clegg alliance being one that admitted no daylight between them is about as feasible as a short London winter. Good luck to them. The local mischief-makers started their whispering this week when, after a series of astonishing policy bungles, backflips and one particular disavowal of Gethsemane proportions (“The ETS? I don’t know him!”) attention turned from the leader, Kevin Rudd, to the loyal deputy, Julia Gillard. The king was dying – when would the princess make her run? Gillard, smarter than your average bear, was having none of it, and laughed off the suggestions – and what else could she say? But the hares will be running now, and like hounds on the hunt, once blood is sniffed and weakness is perceived, leadership destruction sometimes develops a momentum of its own. It is accepted wisdom that Rudd enjoys no factional support in the Labor Party – indeed, his ascendancy is all the more remarkable in that it was achieved despite

factional weight. What Rudd has enjoyed for so long is a remarkable level of personal support, and a very broad and robust personal support, from voters in electorates right across the country. While he has that, his position is safe. Word from inside the Labor camp is that once that starts to crumble, so too will his inviolable position. Forget the cigarette paper – by then, you’ll be able to shove an entire carton of cigarettes between the leadership team. It’s a fascinating time to be a political observer. The love affair and now apparent disenchantment with the great outsider, Rudd, has been so impassioned and so precipitous that it’s wrong-footed even a greatly experienced Opposition. Electorate support is normally won far more slowly and is a sustained thing. It’s vegetable love, as Andrew Marvell may have put it: slow growing. But as the independent poll analyst Andrew Catsaras sees it, voters are in a relationship crisis: their beloved seems to have changed! They’re not sure if they want him any more. But they certainly don’t want to go rushing into the arms of that other guy, Tony Abbott. In fact, they just need some space. Could they fall for a redhead instead? The stirrers are hoping so. \

Head On

into fame After a traumatic childhood, Paul Capsis was inspired by Skyhooks and found his true calling on the stage.

FTER his story is told, and I’ve taken a few deep breaths and fought back my amazement and shock, all I can do is look at Paul Capsis and see a man who is brave and resilient and a survivor. And think: how can someone who went through what he did be so positive about life, so ready to forgive his tormentors and so bristling with energy and determination? An hour in his company goes some way towards answering that question. We’re in a café at the Malthouse Theatre in South Melbourne where he is having a break from rehearsal for a role in The Threepenny Opera, the start of a six-month stay in Melbourne, a city he loves. He is gentle and breezy and welcoming – saying warm hellos and giving big smiles to company staff as they walk past – which means the story he tells today assumes even more power. That famous voice, which has taken him to the world’s stages, never wavers today as he talks about the physical abuse he suffered in his school years, about his desire to end his life at the peak of the abuse, about the lack of support and protection from his parents and about the great love for the grandmother who brought him up after his parents separated, and who might easily be said to have saved his life. But before those dark years, Capsis was a little boy who never met a “fake” microphone he didn’t like. “I was always a kid who performed, mimicked, sang, danced, did anything to get attention,” he says. Born in 1964 to a Maltese mother and Greek father, little Paul emerged with a full head of thick, black, curly hair. “The doctor who delivered me handed me to mum and said ‘We’ve got another Paul’. Meaning a Beatle. Mum liked Paul McCartney, and that’s how I was named.” His parents separated when he was six months old and he went to live with his grandparents in Sydney’s Surry Hills. At 9, Paul would sing along to Suzi Quatro, Janis Joplin, Ike and Tina Turner and, his favourite, Skyhooks. “When I was a child I became obsessed with Skyhooks,” he says. “I’d watch them on Countdown, and that’s when my life changed. The make-up, the costumes, Shirley’s high voice – god rest his soul – that got me. I was in, hook line and sinker.” Music and performance was not a big part of the culture in which Capsis grew up, and he felt that disconnection strongly, his passion for performance dismissed by his parents. “It just wasn’t what you did in a working-class Maltese-Greek culture,” he says. “And there was a lot of negativity from outsiders, too. There was a list of reasons I would never be able to do it.

The things they were telling me were things I couldn’t change – my ethnicity, that was the biggest one. I’m a wog – wogs aren’t on TV, wogs don’t do theatre. You don’t go and see wog performers in Australia. That’s an Anglo-Saxon world. I’m thinking – I was born in Australia, so when is it going to be OK? It made me so angry. And the anger propelled me to act on it.” Capsis was small and, by his own description, effeminate, with the high voice that would later become his signature. Back then all it did was inspire his schoolmates to bully him, leading to a pattern of physical assault that lasted six years. “Kids at school would say ‘You sound like my mother or my sister’.” His schoolmates thought he “looked like a girl” and, with his distinctive voice, he became a target. “It’s what happens to kids at school if you are different. If you are fat, if you are Chinese or god knows what, they’ll find something,” he says. The bullying started when he was in year 4 and didn’t stop until year 10. In year 9, when Capsis was 14, it had become dangerously physical. “I was group-bashed, and bashed by a whole class of guys in the corridor. To survive in school I’d do everything during classes. I’d never go to the toilet during a break. I’d never have my lunch outside. I was always hiding. But they’d grab me

“To survive in school I’d do everything during classes. I’d never go to the toilet during a break. I’d never have my lunch outside. I was hiding.” and get me.” What would they say? “Oh the usual. Poofter. All that. “The school was fed up with me because it was happening a lot and they were like, ‘Well, what can we do?’ To me it was like serving a term in jail. I’ve had people do things to me that I now know what they mean by the term cold-blooded. People would do things to me and wouldn’t even blink. They would just pick me up and toss me across the tables and chairs. And then just walk out. Or go back and sit down. And I’d be on the floor with the chairs, lucky that I hadn’t broken my back or my neck. Or clay was thrown at me in the artroom and the teacher can’t stop it. And she even copped one.” The bullying and violence in year 9 was the worst. One day, aged 14, Capsis smashed a window with his fists. “I smashed the window out of anger, out of sadness, out of wanting to kill myself,” he says. “It was getting worse. And the hormone thing was happening too. “By year 10 I was defiant. I hadn’t come to the conclusion that I was gay. I didn’t say ‘Oh, I’m gay’. I just went ‘I don’t know what I am, but do you know what? I’ll take that label. You call me a poofter? I’ll be a poofter. And then I really let fly with it. So if someone said ‘You’re a faggot’, I’d say ‘Yes I am’. It did give me strength, actually. It really freaked them out. I thought ‘Maybe I can’t fight you, but I’ll say things and I’ll rip you to shreds.’ I couldn’t fight, so I’d use the tongue. I’d come back with some pretty shocking things. I’d give it to them.” Not all the teachers were too ineffectual to not notice this regular abuse. “I had allies,” he says. “My art teacher and my English teacher and music teachers were great. They’d let me stay in the class during lunch and recesses. Sometimes they’d lock me in. Things got worse and worse.” On the occasions his tormentors were caught, they would be caned. But it didn’t stop the abuse. “My mother went to the school and said ‘My son every day comes home bruised’. “Sometimes I’d run out of school and I wouldn’t look to see if a car was coming. I went through a suicidal period. I thought I was so hated I may as well be dead. Everyone hates me and I’m just going to be picked on for the rest of my life. I wasn’t aware that things would get better.

and I) would wear my cousin’s hand-me-downs, so the clothes were very ambiguous.” Later he would occasionally meet one of his tormentors. “A few years after high school I bumped into one on the street, at the traffic light. This was one of the nasty ones. He said, ‘Do you remember me?’ Oh, I remember you. He said, ‘Do you remember my tall friend?’ – who was also a thug who used to bash me. I go, ‘Yeah’. He said, ‘Well, do you know that we were having it off all through high school?’. I’ve had guys come up to me years later and say ‘Did I ever pick on you?’. I’d say ‘You probably did’. “In my 20s, when I was trying to figure it all out, I forgave them because I realised it wasn’t their fault. They were kids. That’s the tragedy of life – you don’t know things you know later. Had I been aware, it would have all been different. But that was my journey.”

“I had a friend who I’d known since primary school, and because he was my friend he’d get bashed too. At high school we kept apart for about six months. But he had no other friends so we got together, and then he copped it again. He was my one friend at school. Really tall, Anglo-Saxon guy, not a fighter. We used to talk about TV – Prisoner, Marcia Hines, Suzi Quatro, Janis Joplin. Other boys would say ‘You guys are freaks, you should be dead’. “They’d say things like ‘If I was like you, I’d want my father to kill me’.” A Greek boy said to him: “And I can’t believe you’re Greek. You’re a disgrace.’ “I said to my mum ‘I’m not going to that school any more, I’m going to Crown Street’. My mother said ‘No you’re not, you’re going to this school because it’s just two blocks away. You’re not going to that other one because it’s five blocks’. “My English teacher said to my mother, ‘I’m sorry but you son will have the same problem whatever school he goes to’. “My grandmother would say ‘Don’t go to school, this is bad’.” But she was conflicted because she knew that if young Paul didn’t go to school “you’ll be like me, can’t read or write”. In year 6 he did move schools and found solace. “It was the best six months of my school life. It was a school where the teachers, the kids, the boys and the girls, everyone performed, they sang, everyone got on, it was just amazing. And I was heart-broken because I thought I’d missed out on this.” But the next year he went to the local high school, an all-boys school with a strong emphasis on sport, where he was confronted with the same bullies. “Back to a jail term,” he says. Capsis didn’t play sport. “Sport was the opportunity for boys to really get me. I’d be in an open area and you’d have to make your way home from that, so I was always vulnerable. “One day I was really shocked when an Aboriginal boy in my year came up to me and said, ‘Hey I want you to play footy with us’. I said, ‘What?’ ‘Yeah,’ he said, ‘I reckon you’d be really good at it’. I went, ‘No, no’. I

thought he was trying to set me up to get bashed, so I said no. He said, ‘No you won’t.” I remember that guy, he was beautiful, he never picked on me. I thought, ‘God, he must be desperate if he’s asking me.” Capsis steered away from performing in school plays because, like sport, he “was putting myself in a vulnerable position”. “Every day I thought ‘How am I going to get through today?’ Every day I was anxious.” As painful as it was to be targeted, he had the awareness, emotional intelligence and, frankly, forgiving nature, to see the cause of the aggression. “I realised that a lot of those poor kids at school had things that they were dealing with in their lives. To me it seemed a lot of the boys had very aggressive fathers and their fathers were bashing them, so they were acting out. They saw me, the high voice, and they let out their aggression. “There was this sexual tension in my school, too. I’d have boys who’d approach me for sex. They would push me up against the wall and they’d bash me against the wall and say ‘I want you to do this and this in the toilet now’. And I’d be crying ‘No, please, no no!’. That happened a few times. Nothing happened, but only because I begged and cried and screamed. So they stopped. “I was very naturally feminine. It was a nightmare. I didn’t know how to get out of it. I thought maybe if I just lowered my voice or wore different clothes. (My brother

uring the turmoil and violence of his childhood it was his beloved grandmother who provided a safe haven of warmth and love. “Once I was with my grandmother everything was fine,” he says. By year 10 the rougher boys had left school and the bullying stopped. “Things calmed down and I was able to really enjoy learning. I came first in art and ancient history. “When I’d got to my late teens and had done my HSC I still had no clue what I wanted to do … inside I wanted to perform, but to me that was such a remote thing, like trying to go to the moon. “My mother thought the best thing for me to be was a banker, and I thought ‘My mother doesn’t know me at all, doesn’t have a clue who I am because I am so not a banker.’ For her that was a step up from what she was doing, which was cleaning and serving food. “Dad drove a truck for a long time. He would deliver big, heavy steel barrels. My father was really strong. Sometimes we would go with him on the truck and he’d carry these heavy things on his own. Then he had a major shift – he became a professional masseur, helping people with injuries. “My family was all about physical work. I was the only person in my family who did HSC. Everyone left in year 9. I knew that if I left school I would have to do physical work and that would be my life, so I stayed.” After leaving school, Capsis found work temping in offices and, when he was 19, for two years at Club Med as a travel agent. “Mum was horrified. She said, ‘Does that mean you have to get on a plane?’ Maltese are very ‘Don’t go anywhere! Stay here! Don’t go to the next suburb!’.” “I was a shocking travel agent. I had no interest.” He started in the mail room. “For the first year I was a courier running around the city. I would make people laugh. They’d say ‘You should be performing’.” A local theatre group was his escape. Capsis found like-minded people at a local theatre group called the Shopfront Theatre, where he fell for the camaraderie and make-believe of the theatrical world. He was involved with them for five years. His parents didn’t go to see him in any performances. “They said ‘What are you doing? You’re not getting paid’. I said ‘Look, I tried for NIDA and didn’t get in. This is my training’.” It was a revelation. “I started on weekends to go to Shopfront Theatre, a big group of people my age, who were doing this thing in their spare time. A new world opened up – there were friendly people, people who were following their hearts and ambitions. That’s when I realised the world was not what it seemed to me in my head, which is that I couldn’t do anything, only work in a physical way, as a cleaner or do factory work. That was what my family knew. “I was making friends with these beautiful people who accepted me totally. Although sometimes I’d get ‘You can’t really be a professional because you are a wog and you’re very camp’.” Capsis had always heard “endless negativity” about his chances of being a performer. “They said, ‘your voice is too girly, you’ll never play a lead role’.

“I did everything I could to be a performer. The dedication to this performance, art, whatever you want to call it – you get love. You give, and you get something back. You make friends who are like-minded. As soon as high school finished, that’s when my life started. The thought in my brain was that everyone hated me and then I realised, no.” Theatre was his salvation, but the years of torment exacted a price. “It made me feel like the world’s a battlefield and it’s a war. And I think that’s still with me.” In his late 20s he started having severe panic attacks. “You try not to think there was anything wrong, I got through it, I’m fine. But I wasn’t. All through my 20s I was trying to understand what had happened to me at school. Why did that happen to me? (Sometimes)I thought I was dying. I couldn’t breathe. I’m very claustrophobic. I cannot be in a lift. I cannot be in a stairwell. I can’t be in trains with the windows closed. I can’t be in buses. I have a fear of being enclosed. “Therapy was great. I could get on with my life and learn to deal with this shit that I had to put up with … Perhaps I was angry with my mum and dad for a long time because I thought they could have done something. They were my parents.” Capsis’ maternal grandmother, Angela Bonnici, was a major figure in his life. “She used to tell me stories of living in Malta with absolutely no money in the Depression, sleeping under potato sacks and on hay in the village, her mum dying at 8 years old, living through the bombings of World War II. “I was raised by my grandmother to be incredibly independent, not to rely on anyone. She drilled me daily about money, ‘Don’t ever spend any money, ever! No matter what you need, don’t buy it!’ Their way was of the Depression and of the war. I had my grandmother’s work ethic.” His advice to parents today who suspect their children may be suffering from bullying is to pay attention and act. “Parents – take responsibility. Notice. Ask a lot of questions. Be interested. Go to the school. Mine did none of that.” To children being bullied, he says: “Do whatever you can to stop it. Whether it’s not going to school or going to the police. Because it’s really damaging. It got in the way of my education. I didn’t do well. I couldn’t learn, I

couldn’t absorb the information because I was sitting in class going ‘What’s going to happen to me? Am I going to go down that corridor and …’. Ridiculous.”

apsis never had a conversation with his father about being gay. “My father called me ‘dear’ one day. A typical macho Greek, obsessed with women. My father never called a man ‘Dear’.” Mum I had to tell. I was in my 30s. She freaked out. It’s pretty incredible, isn’t it? Makes you think ‘Does this person know me? Has she watched me?’ But that was the way they were.” There had been no support for his passion for performing, he says, “and I thought ‘Oh great, now they’re going to give me a hard time (about being gay)’.” In 2007, his grandmother, aged 89, was seriously ill with lung cancer. Capsis was in New York performing in a show called Absinthe. He had a choice: fly back and see her within the next few days or attend her funeral. His contract meant he couldn’t do both. He flew home. “I had four days with her conscious and three days with her unconscious and not being able to breathe. I was holding her when she died.” Despite the doubters and all that resistance to a career as a professional entertainer, Capsis’ career has been on the rise since he amazed audiences with his vocal

talents in a one-man show at Sydney’s Belvoir Street Theatre in 1992. He impressed critics with his role as a transvestite called Johnny/Toula in Head On, the filmed version of Christos Tsiolkas’ book Loaded, in which his character is bashed by police. He played Riff Raff in The Rocky Horror Show. He has worked around the world – including with Barrie Kosky in Vienna in Boulevard Delirium in 2001. While Kosky seems like an angry man, Capsis enjoyed working with him. “I understand that anger. I get it. And he gets me. I can feel his anger. He’s tough. It’s not a picnic. It’s not ‘We’re all friends and we’re having a fabulous time’. We are, outside of the work, but when it comes to the work it’s ‘Deliver! You better jump over that hoop’.” In 2002 he went to Vienna with (Sydney director) Penny Arcade for a show called Sissy Sings the Blues. “I play the Empress of Austria – if you don’t mind. She got me to sing the blues – Billie Holiday and Janis Joplin songs.” Capsis recently played at the Forum as part of the Melbourne International Jazz Festival. He is finishing an album in Sydney for ABC records called Make me a King. He is enjoying being back in Melbourne. “I love Melbourne. I’ve always had a very strong connection here. When I first came here in ’89 I thought, ‘Oh my god, I’ve missed out’. I thought, ‘I can’t believe in Australia there’s a place where I feel I connect’. It makes sense. It’s a place where art and culture is embraced. Where wogs aren’t such a bad thing. Where being different isn’t such a bad thing.” \

I ate at a Sardinian THE FIRST TImE restaurant I asked for white wine and the owner went berserk. “WHITE

wine?!” he exploded, as if I’d questioned his wife’s fidelity. “White wine is bad for the digestion! It damages your liver, your heart!” Then he grabbed forearm in fist and gave me an obscene Italian gesture. Despite his dodgy hospitality, the meal at Pani e Casu (Bread and Cheese, just outside the capital, Cagliari) was outstanding and kicked off a week-long eating odyssey of memorable flavours such as bitter honey, myrtle-scented suckling pig and spaghetti with sea urchin. It was those memories that lured me to Da Noi. Pietro Porcu’s Sardinian outpost in South Yarra is a narrow terrace of dark timber floors with twin rows of clothed tables lit by the warm glow of wall lamps. A fireplace with glowering embers cranks up the cosiness. Remarkably for a 14-year-old restaurant, the place is packed, upstairs and down, on a Tuesday evening. An affable Italian waiter explains house rules. There is a menu, he says, but only one copy, handwritten daily. He can fetch it or we can simply trust chef to prepare a small feast of what’s best tonight. Pot-luck dining is standard in Sardinia but so refreshingly novel in Melbourne that virtually everyone, including us, surrenders to the chef’s whim. I make the mistake here of asking if Pietro himself is cooking tonight. He’s not. That’s a shame, I say, but the waiter says the owner/chef is busy with his other restaurant, the Tea Rooms at Yarck, and is “never here”. (When I later call to confirm this, a staff member says Porcu “always has his hands in the restaurant” but concedes, “the majority of our cooking is left to our chefs rather than him”.) Well, in for a penny … within minutes a plate of rose-hued kingfish carpaccio appears, glistening fresh and topped with a dollop of celery-laced olive tapenade. It leads a prompt procession of eight small plates

that include baked zucchini (grown in the garden at Yarck) in a fennel-and-cumin-scented tomato sauce, unremarkable chunks of semolina-dusted gurnard and a miniature serve of vitello tonnato, its petite veal slices pinkish and pillowy under a mild tuna mayo and baby capers. It’s definitely the pick of the antipasti. Pasta is next. The neighbouring table of four gets pumpkin and pancetta ravioli; we get a bowl of maltagliati, the rough-cut sheets tossed with crab meat and a light shower of golden bottarga, the salted, air-dried mullet roe prized in Sardinian cuisine. But the balance is out – an excess of fresh garlic and chilli swamps the sweet crab and eclipses the bottarga. The meat course arrives in two acts. The first, a brace of dryish rabbit legs with fried sage and polenta, is uninspiring. The second is a showstopper. Slender slices of venison leg from up Strathbogie way, marinated overnight in red wine then served with a sticky, groan-inducing reduction of that same wine and caramelised red onion, on celeriac puree and a medley of mushrooms (pine, wood ear, shimeji). It’s the perfect rib-sticker plate on a cold autumn night and a glimmer of kitchen brilliance. Courses are sensibly timed and sized so we’re not too intimidated when a platter of three desserts appears. The tiramisu and orange and ricotta cheesecake are both così così, but a cacao-flecked pannacotta gets chocolate and consistency just right. The surprise of the plate is a scoop of pineapple gelati, a creamy ice bursting with tropical flavour. Superb, but not Sardinian in the slightest. As for the wine, it’s wonderful – an all-star Italian list of regional highlights. I choose the 2008 Antonio Argiolas, a golden, peachy vermentino, and no one raises an eyebrow (or an elbow) at me drinking white wine. \ Kendall Hill khill@theweeklyreview.com.au

Duchess of spotswooD

studio, but they could see it becoming a standout café in sleepy (Green’s word) Spotswood. Green has worked in New Zealand, at Botanical in South Yarra and most recently at Auction Rooms in North Melbourne, honing her coffee skills. She and Gale, of The Station Hotel in Footscray, jackhammered away the old floor, applied copious amounts of paint and installed the snappy little kitchen. The name Duchess was decided on during a seven-hour car trip; it had to be “something English” to reflect Andrew’s heritage and the menu he has designed. Standout heart starters, brilliantly executed by chef Shane Donelly, include a full English breakfast with eggs, sausage, bacon and black pudding, and “fruits of the forage”, a noteworthy special featuring a heady mix of Mount Macedon wild mushrooms served on a fluffy bed of polenta with crisp, dry-cured bacon and a poached free-range egg. Green says there’s loads of room to expand and the couple has plans for a bigger kitchen, a courtyard and longer opening hours.

By her own admission, Bobby BARISTA Green’s coffee skills were rudimentary when she began working at Auction

Rooms just over a year ago. It was her first “real coffee” experience and she watched, tasted and absorbed it all with gusto. Green now puts her faith in the company that supplies her coffee and says she simply works hard to emulate what she has learned.

Address: 87 Hudsons Road, Spotswood phone:

Barista: Bobby Green coffee:

Small Batch

Barista’s choice: Flat white

The house blend at Duchess is a mix of Brazilan, Guatemalan, Ethiopian and Kenyan beans. It’s expertly extracted and prettily presented. Green says she was a short-black drinker, but since becoming pregnant craves the creaminess of a flat white. \

Vote 1, Green: owner Bobby Green.

This regal little package features vivid white walls and tiles as the backdrop for a classic, elegant fit-out. The focal point of grandeur is a single chandelier that hangs above an old butcher’s block. The block holds newspapers, a sweet little basket of fruit and an honesty box. Old school benches from Altona Primary School and a counter from a former Yarraville shop keep the heart local, while antique timber tables and chairs, all in matching walnut, add the soul. The coffee is roasted by Small Batch (Auction Rooms, North Melbourne) and expertly delivered by owner Bobby Green and her staff.

and pinot noir, cabernet DUCK sauvignon and lamb, dessert wine and foie gras – they are just some of the

classic food and wine pairings. While some wines are best savoured by themselves, others come into their own when matched with the right dish, and I love nothing more than to find a perfect pairing. Wines don’t always need to complement a dish; a strong contrast can work wonders, too. The theory goes that white wine should be served with fish and red wine with meat, which generally holds true, but don’t be afraid to experiment. You’ll have hits and misses along the way, but that’s all part of the learning experience. And, of course, part of the fun. But where do you start? If there is wine in the dish, go for a similar style of wine to what has been used in the cooking – although I wouldn’t recommend a glass of Chinese cooking wine with your pork and mixed vegies. Serve a light white with vegetarian food. You are looking for a wine that won’t overpower the delicate flavours of the vegetables and, in most cases, red won’t cut it. Pinot grigio is good bet.

Aromatic whites (riesling, gewurtztraminer, viognier) go really well with spicy Asian food as they often have high levels of residual sugar, which mutes the heat of chilli. Shiraz works nicely with spicy beef dishes, and one of my favourite matches with spicy food is a blend of dolcetto and syrah. Try those by Gapsted or Brown Brothers, and be sure to chill the wine. Instead of the more traditional beer, next time you’re at a curry house try a full-bodied viognier with a creamy korma. It also works nicely with Thai curries. Fruit-driven grenache blends are great with char-grilled meat. After a few weeks in Buenos Aires, I came to agree with the Argentines that their malbec is a ripping match for a steak. My favourite match of all time is Pedro Ximenez sherry, poured over a scoop of vanilla ice-cream. Its flavours of caramel, figs and dates match perfectly the creamy vanilla. And my next experiment? I read recently that pinot gris is a good match for Peking duck, so I’ll be leaving the pinot noir at home next time I visit Chinatown for a meal. \

LOVE A BARGAIN?

CABERNET MERLOT 2008 (MARGARET RIVER) $17; 13.8 per cent a/v ★★★★ ½ Food match: Roast lamb. It may have a fun, pop-art label design, but this classic Bordeaux blend from Margaret River is a serious wine. It is made up of cabernet sauvignon (50 per cent), merlot (45 per cent) with the rest a mix of petit verdot and malbec, and it displays the full gamut of summer berries, violets and pencil oak. It is medium-bodied with a firm structure and tastes of plums, bittersweet chocolate and cassis that lingers on the palate. This could easily sell for twice the price and has all the qualities to indicate it will keep improving for years to come. Pick up six and see how it ages over the next few years.

TASTINGS\ DRINK THIS DE BORTOLI ESTATE GROWN CHARDONNAY 2008 (Yarra Valley) $30; 12.5 per cent a/v ★★★★

Food match: scallops with a saffron vinaigrette

Go go grigio

Classic chard

This is complex, lean and minerally, with pear and cantaloupe aromas. On the palate it’s quite linear, with citrus flavours and nutty undertones. It has a lovely texture that wants to be swirled around your mouth. Don’t drink it too cold – leave it out of the fridge for a few minutes before drinking. This will improve over the next couple of years, so buy one for now and a couple for later.

PIZZINI PINOT GRIGIO 2009 (King Valley) $18.50; 12.2 per cent a/v ★★★★

Food match: spring vegetable bruschetta

Big and fruity

Hidden treasure

D’ARENBERG THE HERMIT CRAB VIOGNIER MARSANNE 2008 (McLaren Vale, Adelaide Hills) $15; 13.5 per cent a/v ★★★ ½

VERONIQUE REGIONS SHIRAZ 2007 (Barossa Valley) $22; 14.5 per cent a/v ★★★ ½

Food match: creamy kormas and Thai curry

Food match: Asian spicy beef salad Smelling of dark cherries, chocolate and mint with vanilla oak, this full-bodied shiraz has a lovely smoothness in the mouth and full-on blackberry cordial and black pepper flavours. It’s high in alcohol, but the dense fruit hides it well. It’s not too complex but this style is a real crowd pleaser – take it to someone’s house and you’ll guarantee yourself another invitation.

From one of the King Valley’s top wineries, this displays floral aromas with white nectarine, minerals and honeysuckle. It is light, crisp, refreshing and tastes of pears and nectarines with a balanced acidity. This is a really food-friendly wine and the flavours aren’t too strong so they won’t overpower delicate food.

5★ OUTSTANDING

4★ REALLY GOOD

3★ GOOD

2★ OK

1★ NOT WORTH IT

From a vintage that produced many good whites in McLaren Vale and composed of 72 per cent viognier and 28 per cent marsanne, this Rhone-style white has scents of apricot, peach and hints of honeysuckle. It’s full-bodied with a lovely silky mouth-feel and tastes of stone fruit and citrus with a slightly herbal aftertaste. It has good length and is really impressive for a sub-$20 wine.

Review\ inteRview

Hello Kittie A HARI RAJ talks skates, scrapes and speed with Kittie von Krusher, and finds out that roller derby is more sweat than style.

“

whole lot of make-up isn’t that practical, to be honest. I wear it – I like to think it makes me a little bit intimidating – but it’s certainly not what we set out to do.” Katie Engelhardt Dwyer is talking roller derby. It’s a subject that is indelibly intertwined with many aspects of her life, and she makes an eloquent ambassador. On the track, she skates by the name of Kittie von Krusher, all lithe and limber and sudden explosions of pace; sitting down for this interview, she’s all poise and coiled energy, energy that occasionally bubbles over when she enthuses about the sport she loves. While it hasn’t yet made its way back onto Australian television, as it did at the height of its popularity in the 1970s, roller derby has enjoyed a well-documented revival, with leagues cropping up in almost every state. But while reportage has tended to focus on roller derby’s theatrical elements, Dwyer takes pains to emphasise its competitive integrity. “Once we started skating we realised that it was really hard work. It’s a full-contact sport; you need to be very athletic. All of that flamboyant, showy stuff fell away. There’s no time for it,” says the 31-year-old Melburnian. “We want to be taken seriously. But it wasn’t hard in Melbourne; we’ve got such a sport culture. People might have come along initially to see the games because of the showy side of things. But they didn’t get that, they got sport. And they certainly weren’t disappointed because Victorians love sport. Aussies love sport.” To many, roller derby’s physical aspects were encapsulated in this line from the 2008 ABC documentary Roller Derby Dolls: “It’s about getting on skates and knocking the shit out of each other.” Dwyer’s response is that aggression is a part of roller derby, but it’s no more aggressive than football. “You can’t be shy in roller derby, you’re rubbing up against each other’s sweaty bodies and falling on top of each other. I think it gives some people the outlet to express yourself. Instead of saying ‘I’m Katie and I’m a librarian’, you go ‘I’m Kittie von Krusher and I’m going to go nuts’. Krusher by name, crusher by nature,” she says. “We’ve attracted people who have never played sport before. A lot of our players came because they enjoyed skating or they remember it from when they were kids. So the culture isn’t so much a typical sports culture. But there’s always room for self-expression, and the names are just a bit of fun.” Indeed, skaters’ names are a treasure trove for those partial to puns; there’s everyone from Joy Collision to Skate Bush via Mandytory Punishment – the latter wearing No.25 to life, of course. As Dwyer explains, it gives people the chance to be themselves – and more

Get ya skates on: Katie Engelhardt Dwyer adopts her other persona, Kittie von Krusher. “You can’t be shy in roller derby.” (Shannon MorriS)

importantly, it gives women the chance to compete. “It always seems that the women’s teams in sport are secondary to the males; (but) this is a female sport. It gives us the opportunity to play a contact sport, to be aggressive, to be fast, to be powerful and to be strong, and for it to be OK,” she says. “We’re not trying to be guys. We’re just showing that there’s no difference in the way women play sport. We want to be competitive; we’re not afraid to get hit or take hits. There are so many female leagues or sports out there and they just don’t get the support that they need or the credit that they should.” So how does it work? In roller derby, there are five players on each team – a jammer, three blockers and a pivot. The jammers race each other to lap the main pack of skaters, scoring a point for every member of the opposing team they pass, while the aptly-named blockers try to prevent them. The pivot is primarily a defensive player, but she can also become a jammer at certain points in each two-minute round, called a “jam”. Simple? Not really. There are depths of tactical complexity with regards to positioning, the accumulation of fouls, swapping pivots and ending jams – and bear in mind that all this happens on a circuit, at high speeds, on skates, with five other people doing their best to rob you of balance. While she occasionally blocks, Dwyer primarily plays as a jammer, a position easily recognisable by the two stars emblazoned on their helmet. “A jammer needs to be fast and agile, quick on their feet, and have the stamina to go for the two minutes flat out – you hit the pack and you need to get through it quickly, so you look ahead, and find your path and the players that will help you find it,” she says. Dwyer is obviously passionate about roller derby, and for good reason – after all, as she says, the sport changed her life. She first heard of it after returning from an overseas trip, when she was looking for a place to keep up with her training in the martial arts of kung fu and wushu. There wasn’t one nearby, but she came across an article

‘‘We’re not trying to be guys ... there’s no difference in the Way Women play sport’’

about roller derby in a magazine, which rekindled her childhood love of speed skating. “It ticked all the boxes. It had the skating, but I didn’t have to be a loner like I would be if I was speed skating. It’s a team sport, which I enjoyed. I had the contact that I had with martial arts, and I got to go fast!” While getting back on her skates was exhilarating, there was another aspect that drew her in. Dwyer joined the Victorian Roller Derby League (VRDL) in March 2007, in the sport’s infancy. There was no structured training at the time; instead, skaters intensely studied YouTube clips of their American counterparts, slowly piecing together a training process at their local roller rink. It’s markedly different to training today, from which new skaters progress at a much faster pace, space permitting – but we’ll get to that later. Dwyer joined at a time when Victorian roller derby was starting from scratch, and everyone involved was putting enormous effort into getting the skates rolling. As she soon found out, she wasn’t just joining a sport – she was helping to develop one. “I’m a personal trainer. Before that I was in events, but when I started roller derby we had to make things up as we went along, find drills and exercises to work in, and I got really into that side of things,” she says. “I became a coach for the league, and we started off before we had proper training space for skating, so we used to do off-skate fitness work like strength and conditioning, and that’s where some of my martial arts came into it.” Another skater with a martial arts background brought her skills to bear, while high-profile skaters from the American league have made the journey down under to share their expertise. Some of the current crop of skaters have American experience as well, such as Berzerker, who skates for the Dead Ringer Rosies, and Kitty DeCapitate of the Reservoir Dolls. “We wouldn’t have been able to develop the way we had without that influence from other people. There’s only so much you can learn from YouTube,” says Dwyer, whose team is the Toxic Avengers. “In the early days, everyone had a role. Everyone had something to do. It’s not for profit. We developed it and continue to run it all ourselves.” And what did it mean to her? “It’s changed my life, it’s changed my career and it’s given me a huge amount of confidence in myself. It’s given me a lot of confidence physically as well, because you learn a lot about your body putting it through such gruelling training,” says Dwyer, who trains six days a week, on skates for three of those, and recommends additional training for strength and conditioning. “It’s a huge part of my life. Everything revolves around it. I try to keep the derby/life balance even. I have a husband, and I do have other friends, so I try to keep it all together – but it’s a challenge.” Dwyer has been married to her husband, Sean, for seven years. They met at a TAFE visual merchandising course, “years and years and years ago”, and he’s there to watch her at every game. “He’s probably a bit scared of me on game day,” she says, grinning. “On game day I tend to keep to myself, chill out, you know, meditate and get in the zone.” The rest of Dwyer’s family is involved as well; it was her father, in fact, who first strapped skates on her feet. “I wasn’t very sporty as a kid, but I had a lot of energy.

A nice way of saying it would be that I was excitable and very active.” Come game day, Dwyer’s parents are usually in the crowd, her father nudging those around him and proudly letting them know that he taught Dwyer all she knows. So would she describe roller derby as being a family sport? “Yes, absolutely! If you see our crowds, they’re full of families. Kids love it and obviously the parents love it; everyone can get something out of it.” Roller derby received a major shot in the arm, publicity-wise, with the release of the Drew Barrymore-directed Whip It last year. Starring the eternally youthful Ellen Page, the film spent more time on romance than it did on skates, but Dwyer says it got a lot right. “I was relieved, actually. I thought that afterwards there would be a lot of explaining about how we don’t elbow, we don’t trip. ‘‘There’s been so much focus on the hype and the showiness, and girls having fights and wearing fishnets, which is pretty much rubbish,” she says. “I thought that was what the film might be about and I was dreading it. But when they did things like elbow and trip they actually got penalised for it, which is what would actually happen. So it was flashy but it was all right.”

ll the same, it clearly struck a chord with its audience. According to reports, the league received 10 inquiries a day after Whip It’s release, compared with just 10 a week before it. And while Dwyer thinks there wasn’t enough skating in the film, she points out that the level of interest it sparked has yet to recede: “People come and they’re addicted. It’s only going to grow.” However, that growth is severely restricted by space. The league is currently based in Reservoir, with about 1300 people attending games, which take place about every five weeks. For their last game in April, tickets sold out online in eight hours, while tickets in stores sold out a day later. And all this three weeks before a game. The next one is on May 22 – and as you may have guessed, tickets are long gone. “It’s huge. The crowds would be much bigger if we had room; at the moment I think it’s focused on people that are coming regularly. There’s not so much room for new blood,” says Dwyer. Funding for the league comes primarily from ticket sales, so their current low ceiling is a cause for concern. Australian roller derby leagues play by the rules of the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association, but they can’t afford to take on WFTDA-accredited leagues from around the world, which is a prerequisite for admission to the association. Space constraints also mean that the league’s three teams train together, without time or room for private sessions. But popularity is a good problem to have, and while Dwyer does get recognised away from the rink, she’s slightly bashful about it. “It’s good. It’s a bit embarrassing sometimes, but it’s great to know that people are excited by it. It means that it’s had an impact on them, that they remember something.” The odds are that it’s Kittie von Krusher they remember, but it wouldn’t be like her to come out and say it. It’s a similar situation during the photo shoot – Dwyer insists she hates having her picture taken, but responds to the camera with effortless grace, her expression leaping from sweet to a snarl in an instant at the photographer’s request. She’s probably too modest to say it, but while roller derby may be a huge part of her life, Katie Engelhardt Dwyer is a pretty big part of Victorian roller derby as well. \

REVIEW\ SNIPPETS

The bob bible

(according to James)

did the bob become one of the most powerful tools a woman can wear? Is it the sleekness and HOW the sharp edge of the finish or the clarity of the lightly layered-cum-one-length approach to hair? It might even be that this super direction enables a woman of position to be incredibly powerful. Make up your own mind as we highlight the style of the bobs of the world. \

JAMES RAZOS hair@rakis.com.au

For a little girl, Suri already exudes a great deal of strength in this beautifully cut child’s bob, which is clean-lined and tidily maintained. She’s as cute as a button. As for colour – children should not colour their hair. And they shouldn’t talk back to their parents, either.

WIN AH

FREY

An interesting girl who has grown into her influence on fashion. Victoria’s hair is epitomised by the steep graduation through the back; the long bangs around the front, no fringe worn bushy from the crown and sleek from the sides. It’s remarkable that she has gone from brunette to blonde to pixie brunette, and now she’s growing it. It says a lot about her fashion sense. In the early days – when she was of a larger frame – Oprah wore a high-powered, possibly chemically enhanced, bouncy blow-wave with a soft fringe. However, she appeared to be somewhat of a corporate television presenter. Today, her hair is longer, lighter and allowed to curl – far more relaxed. I’d say her hair was tinted black, which was rather harsh for that time.

CLINT ON RY

An amazing woman. Along with Anna Wintour, Coco changed the world of fashion. Her hair was short and finger-waved in place, with a short directional fringe; very suitable for hats and all types of hair accessories. As for colour, my knowledge is that it was always worn natural.

“Speak to the hand.” “How many times do I have to say no?” “You’re lucky to breathe in my space.” My god, do we love this woman. Anna is the most highly styled and placed fashion director of all. Her hair is thick with a tinted base and multiple highlights, worn shiny and crisp. Her colour choice is perfect for a woman over 50, because it’s warmer and has wonderful variations.

WW What a welcome fashion accessory Michelle is to the White House. She’s on a par with the late Jackie Onassis. Michelle probably requires a great deal of chemical and blow-dry action to get a smooth, bouncy bob. There may be a hair switch at the back. She’s very clever to keep her natural shade. It enhances her skin and allows her choice of wardrobe to widen.

BLOW

Hillary sustains a light, layered, high-powered, blow-waved bob. The hair is directed away from her face and starched in place. No movement here, baby – just fixed hair ready for another foreign-affairs meeting. Her colour choice has been somewhat warm to neutral; what I would call a safe blonde highlight approach. We would never guess she had grey hair. It is always freshly coloured. A wonderful 1920s-era star engaging in such controversial hair for that time, when a woman with a plump face and a flat, black bob hairstyle would obviously be noticed. Louise knew she wasn’t the most attractive woman. But her hair and dress sense created a sensation and enough interest for people to invite her into their homes through posters, films and her lifestyle. Isabella was the muse – and what wonderful news – for milliner Philip Treacy. She was an old-fashioned girl in a 21st-century world, sporting a look very reminiscent of the 1930s and ’40s. Basically, she was a rich girl in New York City having a wild time. Her hair was strong; it was period-based, insofar as the way itwas worn, and she made her mark in fashion.

Review\ FashiOn

If you want to get ahead, get a hat have slowly made a Men’s hats comeback over the past few years, and this winter is no exception.

In fact, now is the perfect time to embrace the shades of the film noir era – warm greys, strong blacks and earthy browns, even tweeds, when it comes to donning a hat this season. In the 1920s, the trilby was considered a staple of men at the racetrack because it represented elegance and cool. In the 1960s, the same small-brimmed hat, usually made of felt, was adopted by American subcultures including those on the jazz, ska and mod scene; for these blokes it was all about setting themselves apart from the masses while bowing to nostalgia. Today, the revival in trilbies and pork pies demonstrates a similar yearning to return to the good old-fashioned heyday of hat wearing. It’s no longer just about pulling out the brim for special occasions, such as the spring racing carnival. It’s now quite acceptable for men to team hats with any kind of outfit throughout the year. Hats are as common as ties in a man’s wardrobe and, with so many styles to choose from, there’s no excuse to not be charmed by its narrow or wide-brimmed shape. In fact, the increased popularity in men’s accessories, such as hats, means that more men are opting to wear them on weekends with denim and cardigans, or team them with suits for weddings, parties and just about anything.

A few years ago, actor Brad Pitt was photographed for W magazine wearing a fedora. It not only helped revive the classic hat but it soon became a popular choice for men when they shopped for accessories. In the 1960s, it was president John F. Kennedy's reluctance to wear a hat that inspired author Neil Steinberg to write the book Hatless Jack: The President, the Fedora and the History of American Style. He was curious about why an American culture that had been obsessed with hat wearing suddenly saw it as conformist and dull. My, how times have changed! Johnny Depp, Mickey Rourke, shambolic British singer Peter Doherty (best known for being dumped by Kate Moss), Jack White, of the White Stripes, and Bob Dylan don’t mind dressing up their images when out and about. All have been seen wearing hats that are either hiding heavy hangovers or simply adding a twist to their red-carpet statements. Greenwich Headwear has been making hats since 1969 and is known in Australia and New Zealand for its Scala range. It cleverly markets trilby hats according to musical styles and international cities – they go by names such as Jazz, New Orleans, Nashville and Brooklyn. All are brim-felt hats with contrast stitching. Much has been written about the men’s hat and its impact on social status and fashion. Think of the beret from Kangol, one of Britain's best-known headwear manufacturers, which started making hats in 1938. From the cowboy hat to the Akubra to the Panama (originally made of straw from Ecuador), headwear has always fascinated men. But for now, it’s the trilby’s turn to shine with its soft felt, indented crown and narrow brim. \

The underpants laws American actor Mark WHEN Wahlberg, better known then as rapper Marky Mark, first appeared in a

pair of white boxers, Calvin Klein became one of the most famous underwear lines in the world, and Wahlberg was an instant superstar. This photograph of a sexy, buff Wahlberg would forever change the way men think and buy underwear. Underwear was no longer a necessity; it was a sought-after, fashion-forward statement. Men began to consider their choice of fabric, fit, design and colour – would they wear a natural cotton brief or a sheer synthetic boxer? The Mark Wahlberg campaign started a fashion trend. Teens and young men all over the world began copying the rapper's practice of displaying the brand of his underwear which sat just above the level of his jeans. This saggy pants fashion craze is now into its second generation, and while the pants have become skinnier and the underwear has become tighter, men still feel the need to show just a hint of their underpants. In the US there have been recent statutes outlawing the public display of underpants. They have been passed in several Louisianna towns and are being considered in Georgia, New Jersey and Connecticut. Officials and schools are proposing to outlaw the look because the style originated in prison, where belts are not permitted. Eric Adams, the New York State senator for Brooklyn, has put up six, seven-metre-tall billboards with young models in ultra-low riding jeans reading “ Stop the Sag”. Senator Adams is also petitioning to pass an anti-sagging dress code in city public schools, deeming the style as anti-social. \

GIG WHITLEY \ WILFRED JACKAL Much-loved Melbourne act Whitley is back in town for three final shows (Northcote Social Club, May 19-May 21). Having departed our shores for a new life in Britain, songwriter Lawrence Greenwood is retiring the Whitley tag after two successful albums, so these fast-selling solo shows offer one last spin through an impressive back catalogue. At the other end of their careers, young powerpoppers Wilfred Jackal are launching their new single Rail at Ding Dong Lounge (May 21). Fusing the stadium-sized emotion of early U2 with the quirkiness of Split Enz, the boys make music that is unashamedly pop and undoubtedly destined for bigger things. Get in early.

TOP FILM PICK

HARRY BROWN \ RELEASED MAY 20, MA 15+

TV MODERN FAMILY \ CHANNEL 10, TUESDAY 8PM This much-hyped American comedy is bound to disappoint, if only because it simply isn’t as laugh-out-loud funny as most reviews would have you believe. In fact, it’s better than that. Modern Family is a mature comedy that’s still unafraid to go for a few cheap sniggers. It’s also a grower, a character-based piece that improves week-on-week as we rub shoulders with three very different branches of the same family. There’s grandfather Jay (Married ... With Children’s Ed O’Neill) and his young Hispanic wife, suburban parents Phil and Claire, and gay new parents Mitchell and Cameron. Along with their respective offspring, all are well-drawn individuals whose varied neuroses promise a wealth of comic conflict in the weeks ahead. In terms of tone, the most obvious reference points are the much-missed Arrested Development and the US take on The Office, the latter’s mockdocumentary approach mirrored here as the action is spliced with character interviews and observations. Likewise, too-cool-for-parenthood dad Phil bears a more-than-passing similarity to Steve Carell’s Michael Scott. However, the show initially lacks the sharp edges of either of its predecessors, displaying a worrying tendency towards slightly soggy, trite endings. Still, these may be teething issues. Given its televisual heritage, Modern Family promises to grow into something that could be quite, quite special.

MUSIC VILLAGERS \ BECOMING A JACKAL (DOMINO) Dark poetry forms the backbone of this debut from Irish singer/songwriter Conor J. O’ Brien. Lyrics take as many surprising twists and turns as the instrumentation, catapulting us across compelling, if unsettling, dreamscapes. (Sample lyric: “Then she became a slave in ancient Athens/she isn’t sure quite how it happened”.) At times, the variety and precision of the songwriting recalls another Conor – Bright Eyes’ Conor Oberst. But while Oberst is chained to the real world, O’Brien is floating some distance above it, spending his days dancing with jackals and learning to see dead people. And yet the songs are no less effective, or affecting, for it. Instead, like seductive shadow puppetry they allow the listener to find their own meaning from the imagery on offer.

Opening with grainy mobile-phone footage of a drug-fuelled, senseless murder, this dark debut from director Daniel Barber plunges us vertiginously downward into the lawless world of a south London housing estate. In his 110th film, Michael Caine (above) makes a convincing return to old turf, both geographically and cinematically. His Harry Brown makes a slow, truthful transition from genial old bloke to gun-toting ex-marine, seeking vengeance for his friend’s brutal slaying at the hands of the local hoodies. Although verging on pure revenge fantasy, this thought-provoking film is more than a retread of Get Carter with a Zimmer frame. Its brutal, broken world – painted in a dirty palette of browns, greens and streetlight amber – feels pure dystopian science fiction, as if the world has ended and nobody has noticed. Within the estate walls, to all extents and purposes, it has. Caine’s sympathetic Harry is a forgotten relic of a world of meaning and respect, the last human in a world of vicious, alien apes. While Barber makes no attempt to shelter us from the violence and gore of his crusade, he gives us reason enough to wish him success. As such, like Harry himself, we are forced to confront the gap between our morality and our reality. Tense, taut and utterly compelling, Harry Brown will have you reconsidering that next trip to London.

Whatever the songs mean, their strange beauty is undeniable. Moving and unexpected, each track boasts a delicate melody the Finn brothers would be proud to call their own. Tunes build on diverse musical beds, heading for hummable choruses that stay circling overhead long after the record has finished. \

Fairy tales do come true

peter wilmoth discovers that the many joys of port Fairy are well worth the three-hour drive.

like a beacon: The Port Fairy lighthouse, a fixture since 1859.

STAY

Top right: The Bay of Martyrs is a spectacular stop-off near Peterborough on the way home.

uilt around a whaling station established in 1835, Port Fairy is a beautiful little town with some serious history to enjoy. With its strong Irish population it was originally named Belfast, and its Celtic origins are still evident in the town. It’s a long drive with the kids – not much change from three hours – and they were walking a bit like mini-cowboys and girls when we stopped for petrol at Warrnambool, but if you’ve got music and car games it’s fine. The joys of Port Fairy are worth the trip. For family accommodation in Port Fairy, there are some good options. We found one through word of mouth and decided to put it to the large-group test. My friend and I, her four children and my two nearly filled Bluestone Bay, a big house on the edge of the beach just outside the township. It was perfect for us – huge living area for games spread out all over the floor, as well as for random dancing (the eight of us did quite a bit of random dancing in the weeks after Michael Jackson’s death, in tribute and just because the songs were just so damned danceable). The eight of us had dinner at a large dining table overlooking the sea. My friend and I toasted each other from either end of this huge table with a lovely glass of wine. We had stuff to toast – we’d followed through on her idea and brought all the kids to such a fantastic part of the world. It’s no wonder Bluestone Bay is so heavily booked – it pushes all the buttons if there are a lot of you. Two families could easily share, and you wouldn’t go mad, either. Not that you have to offset the cost. At $300 a night (minimum two nights), it’s affordable for what you get, which is lots of wow factor amid all the functionality. The house has a jaw-dropping view of the Southern

Bay Sands is dog-friendly and has boogie boards, fishing gear and bikes for guests. It is in Griffiths Street on the caravan park side, just one minute from the beach.

Belfast Cottages is good for families. There is a kids’ playground and lots of room to kick a footy or play. The cottages have a spa bath, three bedrooms and gas log fires. belfastcottages.com

Hearns Beach House has five bedrooms, four of which are doubles and one is a bunk room with three bunks sleeping six kids. The bunk room has its own games area. hearnsbeachhouse.com

Town wAlk

Highly recommended is a walk around the rows of 19th-century whalers’ and seamen’s cottages, which appear untouched since the mid-1850s. The town has 50 buildings protected by the National Trust. The children were fascinated by the history in front of them: a great interactive way to get them interested in Victoria’s past.

Stop for a drink at The Caledonian Inn, or the “Stump” as it is known to locals (41 Bank Street). Established in 1844, it’s the oldest continually licensed premises in Victoria. The walls feature some fantastic photographs of Port Fairy’s early days. No pokies here, just a great community feeling. We bought rolls and ham slices and cake (all right, and a bottle of chablis for the grown-ups) and had a picnic lunch on the wharf on the Moyne River, watching the boats putt-putt out to sea. There’s a handy playground nearby, too. Rebecca’s (72 Sackville Street), with an ice-cream shop next door, and Ramellas around the corner in Bank Street are good options for lunch. For dinner, try the Victoria Hotel (42 Bank Street) and Madagalli on Bank (24 Bank Street), which serves pasta and pizza.

The lighThouSe

Built in 1859 to mark a reef and to inform ships’ captains they were passing Port Fairy, a walk to see this is a great morning activity. It was manned until 1952, when it was automated. What child doesn’t love a lighthouse? Visit the nearby dormant volcano and Tower Hill State Game Reserve (10 minutes to the east) or Mount Eccles National Park (20 minutes to the north-west). On the way back to Melbourne, stop at Peterborough on the Great Ocean Road and soak in the spectacular Bay of Martyrs.

In the 1960S

, Hawaii’s beach boys began paddling into sets at Waimea Bay with tourists’ cameras dangling around their necks. They balanced on the longest surfboards they could find and paddled with oars from outrigger canoes. That’s when and how Stand-Up Paddle (SUP) surfing was born. Those pictures inadvertently sparked the surfing movement. Pipedreams were born, and today there are about 700,000 surfers in Australia. But the defining moment when SUP exploded as a sport was when Laird Hamilton rode Teahupoo, one of the meanest waves in the world, on a stand-up paddle board on August 1, 2006. Since then, SUP has mutated again and again. In Holland, there are SUP races down canals, in Canada, SUP races are held down rapids, and in Melbourne’s Port Phillip Bay there are more people than ever just cruising around on the water. SUP is on TV and seven-time world surfing champion Layne Beachley, not surfing, but just floating on the water with a SUP. Hawaiian water sports legend Robbie Naish predicts SUP will be bigger than windsurfing, kitesurfing and surfing combined. “Because anyone can do it, anywhere, it has a broad appeal,” he said. SHQ Boardsports instructor Luke Meyers said SUP is the only sport that you “get a six-pack for no extra charge”. The 37-year-old began “SUPing” three years ago and now runs classes at the SHQ boathouse, next door to Sandringham Yacht Club. “Anyone from six to 76 can do it and learn it in five minutes,” he said. Meyers said SUP is like Pilates but on the water. As a sport, it is getting serious with personal training classes and stroke-correction classes in the pipeline. “Like Pilates, you need to learn the technique,” he said. “It is fantastic for your core, and after a single class people can normally feel the difference.” Phil Cooper, from SUP St Kilda, said 60 per cent of his students are women. “This is great to see and evens up the scale a bit because other sports such as kiteboarding and surfing are dominated by men,” he said. “Women are heading off on the water to a café for breakfast in a big group instead of walking. “This just adds to the appeal of Melbourne as a liveable city.” Cooper also runs penguin and Yarra tours with SUPs and is proud to say that no one has yet landed in the Yarra. The tour takes in sites such as the MCG, Polly Woodside, Melbourne Aquarium, Southbank, Eureka Tower, the Rialto, Banana Alley and Flinders Street Station. Global Surf Industries’ Corey Davis, who is heads of research and development, said SUP is branching into three areas: surfing, racing and cruising. “Right now we are building a complete range of new Fish-style SUPs for surfers,” he said. \

SUP

is sometimes spun by marketers to be the sport of ancient Hawaiian kings and queens. The only evidence of SUP that exists before 1960 is when Captain James Cook reported watching fishermen in Tahiti standing up in a canoe to paddle across shallow reefs in search of fish to spear. Almost anyone can enjoy the fun sport, especially in calm, quiet waters. Shoulders, laterals, abs and legs all work together to keep you moving forward while maintaining balance.

and epochs, loaning a personality to certain periods,’’ they state in a new photo-and-essay book on this subject. “The Industrial Age, the Roaring ’20s, the American Century and so on. “What to make, then, of the past 10 years, a time of extraordinary events and seismic shifts?’’ Life argues that 2000-09 was a decade in which the world changed. Poring over this fine publication – the latest in a long line of Time Life books that celebrate journalism and photography – you recall how events such as the September 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Centre in New York and the invasion of Iraq by US forces reverberated internationally. But as you read you realise that the “seismic shifts’’ occurred mainly in the US. It was a decade when America’s self-confidence was badly shaken, when its people questioned their own morals and ethics, responses, crisis management structures, international role and genuine thoughtfulness towards others. “From the beginning, with the contested presidential election of 2000, America was looking hard at itself and the road ahead,’’

Life writes. “How divided are we? Where are we headed? Then came the horrific events of September 11 and nothing would be quite the same thereafter.’’ Certainly, The Decade That Changed The World has a strong American skew. We should forgive the publishers this indulgence, however. Their books are produced primarily for the US market; without those healthy sales numbers, a beautiful hardback book with superb colour plates would not be available to the rest of us at such a reasonable price. The book starts with the New Year’s Eve celebrations at the start of a new millennium, then tracks America at war, the shame of Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad, the 2004 tsunami and then Hurricane Katrina the following year, global warming politics, the 2008 US presidential election, and the rise and rise of Barack Obama. It also recalls those who died – Pope John Paul II, Sir Edmund Hillary, Katharine Hepburn and Paul Newman, Julia Child, Senator Edward Kennedy, Michael Jackson and Luciano Pavarotti, to name a few. Life book devotees will not want to miss this one. \

ALONE IN BERLIN by Hans Fallada $26.95 (Penguin)

FICTION

Berliner Otto Quangel and his wife, Anna, are passive observers of Adolf Hitler’s rise to power. But in 1940, when their much-loved son, Ottochen, is killed while with the German army, Otto is prompted to act. This unlikely activist starts by writing and letter-dropping anonymous pamphlets urging his fellow citizens to oppose the war and the policies of the National Socialists. First published in 1947, this brilliant study of a paranoid and fearful society took 60 years to be published in English.

A QUESTION OF BELIEF by Donna Leon $32.95 (William Heinemann)

MYSTERY

Venetian sleuth Commissario Guido Brunetti is back, this time trying to solve the murder of court official Araldo Fontana. Why would someone want this good man dead, and what mysteries lie behind the courthouse’s power structure? American author Donna Leon has lived in Venice for more than 20 years and her Brunetti novels have brought her deserved international acclaim. This latest in the series will not disappoint fans.

LANGUAGE

The evolution of the English language is a fascinating story of conquering warlords, the search for identity and the role of famous champions of its development, such as Alfred the Great, Geoffrey Chaucer, William Shakespeare, Samuel Johnson and the inventors of Scrabble! We highly recommend this beautifully presented and highly accessible hardback for anyone interested in history, culture and social studies.

Sometimes good things can happen when AFL stars publish a book. Commentator and former Geelong player Dwayne Russell has written a delightful story about Jackson, a footy young nut who is obsessed with his red leather Sherrin and the game it represents. With gorgeous illustrations by Donna Gynell, Jackson’s football-crazed world, we realise, is ours, too. The perfect gift for young fans of the game.

“Dinner guests are imminent and Canadian wine writer Natalie MacLean purges her coffee table. Out goes People magazine. In comes Anna Karenina. In Red, White and Drunk All Over, MacLean writes with verve and self-deprecating fun about everything from pre-dinner party tension to vintage champagne. I’ve learned a lot about wine from her and it didn’t hurt a bit. My read of the moment is Garry Disher’s Wyatt – a favourite Australian writer revisiting my favourite fictional crim. It has Melbourne zeitgeist, superb characterisations and a plot that keeps me glued to the page when I should be making school lunches.’’

Review\ OFF THe LeASH

... and they call it puppy love ... Owners are giving their pets the sorts of creature comforts they’d give to their children ... even a social networking site, writes Francesca carter has one of the world’s highest AuSTRALiA levels of pet ownership, with about 63 per cent of Australia’s households owning

some kind of pet. In Melbourne, Australia’s style capital, pet pampering is a fast-growing industry that gives pet owners plenty of choice in treating their beloved furry friends to day spas, gourmet food, designer clothing and accessories. It doesn’t stop there. Other new services include pet day care, home holiday care, dog walking, pet play groups, pet cremations and pet cemeteries. Pet-as-art-subject has also exploded with owners sometimes spending thousands of dollars to have their pets painted, sketched or photographed. Award-winning photographer Anna Clemann, founder and director of Creature Focus Animal Photography, says pet photography is a niche area in the pet industry, which has grown substantially in the past couple of years. “I have been doing pet photography for five years and in that time I have seen a number of specialist pet photographers enter the market,’’ she says. “More and more people see their pet as a major part of their family and want to have beautiful images of them in their home and at work.” When photographing one of her clients, Anna takes into account the type of personality of the animal and the surroundings. She captures unique images that tell a story beyond the immediate photo by using a variety of techniques and location options. “When we photographed a lizard, the owner (my brother Nick) and I travelled to Mount Dandenong, where we went on a 45-minute hike carrying the poor lizard in a bag,” says Anna. “We eventually found an undesignated spot, off the track, where we could take the photos.” When Caroline and Dean Heinz had their two pugs, Kevin and Dudley, photographed it proved a memorable experience. “We don’t have children ourselves, so our dogs are part of the family,” says Dean. “It was important to get photos of them because they are good characters and always make us laugh.” When photographing her subjects, Anna makes everyone feel relaxed. “She let the dogs run around instead of being on a pedestal. We were there for half an hour and spent most of the time laughing,” says Dean. Lisa Wittman, who has had her miniature poodle, Cuddly, photographed twice, says Anna made animal noises to catch the dog’s reaction on camera. “Everyone always comments at how photogenic Cuddly is and it’s because of Anna,” says Lisa. Dressed in her Burberry jumper, Cuddly, who was rescued by the

2 RSPCA, now has a library of her own portraits. Another huge trend sweeping the pet industry is having a personalised pet website. Lifebooks, created by Australian company Living Years Pets, is a website that enables pet owners to create a profile for their pet, and record and celebrate its life. The website has advanced social networking functionality that enables the uploading of photos, videos, the submitting of comments and stories, time lines and reminders such as visits to the vet. Lifebooks users can easily search for pet names, or search for Lifebooks of similar breeds and then interact with other pet parents. Lifebooks provides an opportunity for pet businesses to expand their products without having the inventory costs, risks or exposure. As executive director Barry Epstein says: “In the pet industry the breed is the brand and we can cater to that breed and customise that.” It is the new Facebook for pets. Lifebooks director Avril Henry says: “We created a unique opportunity that now meets owners’ strong and growing needs to pamper their pets regardless of specie or breed.” The Lifebooks website was launched in the US on April 30 and has already had a successful response with Pet Life Radio, America’s No.1 radio program utilising the website. The Lifebook will cost $60 a year and is a great interactive forum to record a living or deceased pet. \

We all like to feel comfortable in the bath and dogs are no exception. When washing your friend always make sure that the bath tub is the right size and that you are regulating the water temperature. Also choose the right shampoo for your dog's skin and coat and never use your own hair products. Your dog has a different pH level and your shampoos can plague their skin with painful irritations. Never wash your dog more then once a month because you will take away the natural oils that enable a dog's hair to grow nicely and keep them warm.

TRiMMinG naiLS

Poodles are not the only type of dog that require a manicure. When clipping your dog’s nails, always use special clippers for dogs and cats and clip slowly. It is best to clip after the bath when the water has softened the nails and skin. If you are unsure or not confident about doing it, seek professional help.

Cleaning your dog’s ears regularly, especially during spring and summer, will prevent ear infections. Always clean gently the "outer inside" of the ear with a soft gauze or cotton ball and an ear cleaning solution specific for your animal. Never use cotton buds.

BRuShinG

Different dogs' hair types require different brushes and it is important to consult a specialist when choosing the right brush. If you are washing your dog, brush before and after and for longer-haired dogs make sure you use a conditioner so that brushing is smoother. Always brush gently as this will avoid scraping the skin and giving your dog brush burn.

It is important to do regular check-ups on our little friends. Areas to check include the skin and hair, the eyes, ears, gums and teeth, between the toes, and your dog's backbone. You should take your pet to the vet at least once a year and make sure that it gets it regular vaccinations. \

Review\ ReARview

BEaUt UtE thE FaMIlY’s MaIN RIdE A This Ford Mainline ute has seen half a century of solid service with the same family, writes KEVIN NORBURY.

ll sorts of cars and trucks have come into 78-year-old Don Warren’s life in one way or another, but none quite like the Ford Mainline ute he bought new in Stawell more than 50 years ago. What’s more, he’s still got it, it still goes, still has that big V8 sound, and it’s still registered. Don is a man who never lets much slip through his fingers. He married his wife, Anne, 54 years ago, in 1956, and bought the 1957-model Mainline the year after. “I paid 1250 quid for the ute, brand-spankin’ new,” he says, pride in his voice. “It was a big, beautiful, powerful machine (after what he had been driving).” Ask him why he’d buy a ute, having just been married and with a family in mind, and on reflection he says, “I don’t know. It should have been a car, shouldn’t it?” But like Don, the ute has seen and been many things in its day, which could help explain it. It became both family car and workhorse. “We often went spotlighting in the ute. And duck shooting on Lake Fyans every year. Bang! Bang!” he says, eyes glinting through large, brown-rimmed glasses. “We carted wood with it and towed the trailer behind just as loaded, I went to work in it (as a Country Roads Board spray-gang contractor for 40 years), used to take mum shopping. It was the only wheels I had.” He calls his ute “Gus”, and for good reason. It still bears the same black-and-white plates it was issued 53 years ago – GUS-716. “That’s just as it came,” he says. And it still sits in the carport behind the Warren home in Halls Gap – where Don was born and bred – in the foothills of the Grampians, in western Victoria.

AutobiogRAphy

The Ford Mainline was the utility and base version of the Customline, Ford’s flagship car of the day. The Customline, a favourite with large families, was launched in 1952 with a three-speed column shift and a 239-cubic-inch (3.9-litre) sidevale V8, and the Mainline appeared soon after. In 1955, the Customline was given a slightly bigger body, a wraparound windscreen, small tailfins and a bigger 272-cubic-inch (4.4-litre) V8, which also went into the Mainline. Both retained their six-volt electric systems. In 1956, the big news was 12-volt electrics. For the ’57 model, the Customline and Mainline came with a big V8 badge set in the grille and much bolder chromework. The last Mainline was built in 1959, when the Fairlane was introduced. Despite the Depression and the war in Europe, the Cadillac V16 survived for 11 years. A total of 4076 were made. There were 50 different body styles. Most were built by Fleetwood, and 10 perr cent by Fisher. The car weighs about three tonnes.

Nowadays a grubby shade of white, admittedly, given the ute’s age, but that’s hardly the point of it. It’s real significance is that not only was it the family car for more than 20 years, his four adult children, who are all now in their late 40s and 50s, grew up with it and they each have just as many fond memories of the old ute as their father. “It’s pretty much original,” says Don, his favourite bright-orange CRB cap firmly fixed on his head. “Except I’ve had the seat re-upholstered. The original seat had an armrest. And I’ve put Fairlane wheels and tyres on it, and a Fairlane diff put in it to match the wheels.” He’s not sure why he did that now. The odometer shows 298,850 miles (nearly half-a-million kilometres), so it’s hardly surprising its 272-cubic-inch (4.4-litre) V8 has been overhauled, and that was not that long ago, either. The bodywork has had its share of hard knocks, thanks to accident-prone kangaroos in this rocky mountain part of the world, particularly at night. “She’s hit a few ’roos,” says Don. “I’ve smashed the bumper and mudguards a few times.” Jump in behind that big steering wheel and the classic 1940’s half-moon speedo and still there in the dash is its circular Astor valve radio. That’s original. Eldest son, Steven, 53, who was not even born when his father brought the ute home, was only too eager to relate a story he had heard about that Astor radio. Apparently mum and dad and his Uncle Brian were on their way home from a ball one night when they stopped at a service station just outside Stawell, and on the concrete apron, in their exuberance, started dancing in the headlights to Rock Around the Clock they had blaring out on the Astor. Don seemed coy when I asked him about that. “Brian and Anne were doing the dancing, not me,” he says. Steven also recalled the day they shifted a piano to the Moyston pub. “Someone got on the back and started playing it,” he says. His father remembers that, too. “But I wasn’t driving,” he says. “I was sitting in the back holding the piano.” Anne remembers the long trips they made to Melbourne in the Mainline to visit her family in Carlton, where she grew up. “When we went to Melbourne, the whole family used to be in the ute,” she says. Joy (the eldest) sat on the seat in the middle, she nursed Michelle, then the baby, and Steven lay on the back ledge behind the seat. That was in the days before seatbelts, of course. In later years, Michelle was on the back ledge and the two boys, including the youngest, Fred, sat in the back, which by then had a canopy and two seats out of a Chev 4 truck. The first car Don ever owned was one he built himself as a 17-year-old. “I made that up out of bits and pieces and we finished up with a Model-T, about a 1924. I just put it together as it came,” he says, as if that was no big deal. “It’s still up there in the shed. There are two or three others there, too. After that I used dad’s Consul.” And that’s still in the shed as well. Don eventually bought a 10-year-old 1968 Ford Fairlane as the family set of wheels, but he could never contemplate parting with his Mainline ute. “No, I won’t sell her,” he says firmly. “Not that one. She stays in the family, that bloke.” \

Review\ my view

colleague recently told me women who live in my inner-northern suburb don’t shave. It was in response to my suggestion that school pick-ups in her bayside suburb must be hell, given she had to show up next to football wives who’ve spent the day being personally trained and botoxed. If living in Brunswick makes you disinclined to exfoliate, and Brighton brings the gift of thinness and tickets to the Brownlow, then where we choose to live is important. But does it make us who we are – and can the suburb we live in give us what we want out of life? A lot of things come into play when we decide where to live. A large backyard, two loos and close proximity to transport are important, but what about that great big thing called “suburb brand” – the intangible values that describe and define a location’s essence? East Malvern offers a conservative bubble – GPs mixed up with middle-aged aspirants who’ve upgraded from Oakleigh on their second home. Buying into Brunswick gives you the big PC ticket – diversity. Residents there must have chickens, membership in a community choir and a general need to make left-wing comments on Jon Faine’s caller line. And don’t get me started on North Carlton: it’s now so la di da since the retired Camberwell empty nesters moved in. Parma-and-pot nights are nowhere to be seen; it is now all salmon-on-a-bed-of-something land. When I first moved to Melbourne from the country more than 25 years ago, a perky girl from Presbyterian

They did assure me, however, they were considering primary schools for their four-year-old in Collingwood, which actually, inexplicably, I was most relieved to hear. And an acquaintance recently told me she was embarrassed to admit she grew up in Toorak, given the posh, privileged, private-school assumptions people instantly made about her. Everything in the modern world is about “brand”. Brand is what drives upsizing, inner-city couples to choose Hawthorn for their family home, as opposed to Northcote. It’s whether they value proximity to private schools and the safety of being around “people like us” more than good coffee and a cheap taxi home after a night out. Brand is what makes Essendon women dress like they live in South Yarra. Or downsizing eastern suburbanites and their shiatsu terriers to choose Albert Park over Williamstown. But is it better to live in the fancy part of West Preston than the Bulleen end of North Balwyn? And is it OK for a friend who lives in Ringwood to tell people she lives in the “eastern suburbs”? Is growing up in Broadmeadows or Reservoir allowed to be a badge of honour – but only when you’ve made it to the other side? The big question Melburnians should all ask themselves is this: if you won Tattslotto or some old aunty leaves you an unexpected, significant sum of money – would you do it? Would you pack up the kids and sneak inner-east? \

Market fears risky business

RobeRt Gottliebsen explains the dark forces behind the market’s fall. in global The weakness stockmarkets contains unwelcome messages for investors everywhere.

And the Resources Super Profits Tax only adds to the uncertainties. Stockmarkets in China, the US, Australia and Europe have all experienced significant falls. Automated trading systems in the US were partly to blame for the massive fall witnessed on Wall Street recently, but there is a deeper message. Accordingly, it is now time to take stock of the forces that have been unleashed. Australia’s weak spots were always going to be in the firing line if there was any serious downturn in China or Europe. But at this crucial time in the recovery, the Australian Government has foolishly increased the sovereign risk of investing in Australia, which adds a whole new layer of uncertainty to our country’s future. Governments have introduced resource rent taxes before, but Kevin Rudd’s plan kicks in when companies are getting returns of 6 per cent. A 6 per cent return hardly justifies the title of Super Profit. Why he has chosen to lift taxes on our key export industry at such a critical point in the world recovery is unclear. It is so dangerous that I find it hard to believe that it will not be changed, either by Rudd himself or a new government. Enormous amounts have been written about the Greek problem but in essence European banks did exactly the same thing as the US banks did: they lent money to someone who had no hope of repaying it. The US bankers could have found out that the so-called subprime borrowers did not have the capacity to repay simply by going around America and talking to them. Similarly, if bankers drove around the Greek countryside, they would have realised Greece could not repay because the country is based on a cash economy. By using the euro as their currency, the Greeks did not allow their lower wealth to be reflected in the value of their currency exchange. They were able to maintain their living standards because silly bankers were prepared to lend them the money, just as they were prepared to lend to those with no income in the US.

Sydney, Australia - May 07: Stocks opened weaker on the Australian Stock Exchange in Sydney, following the overnight Wall Street plunge and uncertainty about the Greek debt crisis. The S&P/ASX200 was down 2.75 per cent in early trading. (CAmEron SPEnCEr/GETTy ImAGES)

In the US, the subprime problem was multiplied as follow-on events were triggered because confidence had been broken. And that’s what is happening in Europe. The Germans may bail out Greece but will not bail out any other country, and we are seeing the contagion spreading to Spain, Portugal and perhaps Italy. Accordingly, it will require considerable work to maintain the solvency of some banks in Europe, and because the banks are interconnected it spreads fear globally. That’s what is happening now. If the Greek rescue package holds together it might be possible to delay the crisis for a year or two, but the warning from the stockmarket is that this is very dangerous territory. At best we are going to see a depression in Greece and tough trading in the rest of Europe. This will affect profits globally. Stockmarkets are adjusting share prices accordingly but they are now starting to move into bank fear territory. But I add an important caveat. We are likely to see a strong rise in the US as investors look to the safe haven of the world’s reserve currency. The US market’s recent fall is in no way catastrophic, and US dollar earnings could be very valuable in this climate. The second message coming out of the global share decline is a warning about what’s happening in China. The Shanghai Index has fallen dramatically and we are starting to get reports from China that are quite disturbing. Brokerage houses such as Jianyin Investment Securities say Chinese house prices may slump 30 per cent as local authorities implement government measures to crack down on property speculation. The number of home sales has fallen nearly 40 per cent in 15 major cities and confidence has been substantially weakened. It was important that China curb its property bubble, but if these reports are correct, then the bubble has been pricked and there will be substantial blows ahead for China’s banking system. This is exactly what I picked up on in Europe in January when I discovered that Pivot Capital – the same group that accurately predicted the US subprime crisis

– forecast a major fall in Chinese property in the second half of 2010. A serious decline in China will affect commodity prices, but remember that China cannot afford to have a major collapse and is likely to take whatever measures are necessary to keep the situation under control. In circumstances like this, Australia should keep its head down. Instead, we lifted taxes of resource profits to about 57 per cent – and in some cases much higher. That makes investing here much more dangerous and has caused shockwaves around the world because it shows an unexpected instability in Australia. And when you look back, there is a distinct pattern emerging. The Government has launched a series of attacks against private enterprise in this country. It is now in the middle of a campaign against those shareholders who bought Telstra shares (either directly or in later transactions) by setting up a rival network and offering inadequate compensation. The Government strongly advocated an emissions trading scheme that would have seen most of the major power generating utilities that had invested in Australia wiped out with retrospective legislation. It also lifted labour costs with its new industrial relations legislation. It’s possible that Rudd is playing the game of announcing extreme legislation so he can make some compromises later. If that is right, and the other two global forces are contained, then the mining stocks that have been hammered will be extremely good buying. But if Rudd sticks to his guns, and the public does not understand what he has done, then Australia will be a much poorer place as a result. Once overseas markets have settled, the strategy of buying stocks in Australian companies with overseas exposure, as put forward by Evans & Partners, starts to make a lot of sense. Among those with substantial US dollar-based overseas interests are CSL, Cochlear, QBE, Westfield and News Corporation. But of course if global bank fears take hold then there will be no place to hide. \

Extracting the digits couldn’t wait to tell my best friend, Jamie, whose six-digit number was testament to the age of his connection at the time. These days digits are all that matter. Back then, everything to do with a phone connection belonged to Telecom Australia (or, if you’re old enough, the PMG), up to and including the telephone handset. Its network, its technology, its responsibility. It had tight control over what devices could be plugged in and added to the network (not many). It could concentrate on maintaining a quality network and equipment – albeit with limited capability – and Australian telecommunications were generally well-regarded on the world stage. Now all manner of things are sent over the public switched telephone network (PSTN) — from the decidedly prosaic phone call to internet traffic, medical scans, banking transactions and security camera images. What it all relies on, regardless of the content, is that it’s made of the same stuff: it’s all digital information. You’ve probably read or heard that digital technology reduces complex signals (music, for instance) to a long stream of zeros and ones. All very conceptual, and not terribly interesting unless you’re a mathematician. But once everything is zeros and ones it can potentially be measured and billed the same — although many a business owner wants it to be otherwise. Exhibit One for discussion is Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP), which takes the zeros and ones constructed from your voice and sends them across the internet to whomever you’re speaking with. Just like, um, a phone call. Thing is, if you can treat a phone call just like any other internet

traffic (and you can), then it becomes increasingly difficult to justify charging hugely more for a phone call than for the equivalent zeros and ones if they constituted, for example, a web page you’re viewing on the internet. Your telecommunications company (“telco”) knows this, and knows it has a battle for your dollars in the face of new VOIP companies. If you’re not using VOIP now, you will be soon, because the cost savings are enormous compared with your current monthly phone bill. It goes much further than just phone calls: a single, fast, reliable digital connection could happily handle multiple VOIP calls, digital television and radio stations, plus the security, medical and internet needs of a family. And so reserving one expensive phone line for the odd voice call is looking rather wasteful. The telcos know it, the mobile network operators know it, and the Rudd Government knows it. Which is why they plan to spend billions on the National Broadband Network (NBN). The NBN is planned to provide a fast digital connection to each Australian home for all manner of future technology. In the same way that trains and highways opened up lines of commerce and trading, the NBN will pave the way for many advances in business, education, entertainment, health and medicine – advances that may now be a twinkle in their inventors’ eyes but which the NBN has the potential to ignite. The recently-released NBN implementation study has said it’s commercially viable. As with any politically charged plan, there’s still a long way to go before we can reap the benefits. Here’s hoping our politicians can learn to speak the same language as the rest of us: digital.\

Children’s parties are no longer just what parents want ... they are part and parcel of party planners, entertainers and event stylists, writes FranCesCa Carter

ast week a child’s birthday party broke a television record. MasterChef celebrated its highest rating episode of the season when it featured a challenge that was determined on the success a nine-year-old girl’s party. Contestants faced a tough challenge: 150 children and adults would each allocate one point at the end of the party to their favourite dish. The two cooks with the fewest points then went into an elimination challenge. Sounds easy but Phoebe, the young client, had a mean wishlist that included curry and Lebanese food, plus two vast and beautiful birthday cakes, each to feed 150 guests. Tough clients, kids! Meet the children of the “noughties” who have grown up on a diet of sushi, Nintendo DC and Pixar movies. These days, traditional party games such as pass the parcel are considered unfair, musical chairs and bobbing for apples are too dangerous, and pin the tail on the donkey is monotonous. Today’s children want big-time entertainment and their hunger feeds a growing industry of professionals who are ready to stage a Hollywood-style spectacle. Birthday parties have gone from being a parenting value-add, to a thriving business of party planners, event stylists and entertainers. Parents who once spent days poring over their grandmother’s cake recipes now outsource everything from the decorations to the venues. Fleur McHarg, a mother of two, says that having a party at home is a nightmare. “You have children running all over your house, you get stressed, there is mess everywhere and just as you are keeping the children entertained you have to provide coffee and cake for the parents. It is a big responsibility.” This was one of her main incentives in opening her new flower shop, Fleur, in Armadale. “I wanted my shop to be more then something that just sold flowers and when I saw my children playing in the backyard, I realised that I could offer another service.” Fleur hosts children’s parties throughout the year and believes it is a hassle-free alternative to having the birthday at home. “It is about getting back down to nature and doing what kids enjoy most, making things.” Fleur neatly arranges aprons for cake decorating and small boxes and flowers for the bouquet creations. For the boys she organises bugs, worms and all sorts of vegetation so they can create their own bug enclosures. The parties go for an hour and a half and at the end each child gets to take home their work of art. “Children today need to be entertained, and having their birthday here means they can create something, use their hands and, at the end of the party, feel they have achieved something. They are able to be creative and express themselves,” Fleur says. Director of Star Bank Event Entertainment, Jacqui Clark, knows that outsourcing children’s entertainment is the key ingredient to a successful birthday party. “It has to be interactive and entertaining. They are not just happy to sit down with a clown now. It has to be the latest; everything has to be faster.”

REVIEW\ GARDENING

May plantings With autumn rains bringing relief to our kitchen gardens, and with the onset of cooler nights, it is time to sow winter greens, peas and broad beans. Prepare beds by digging in lots of organic matter – compost, decomposed animal manure or a balanced organic fertiliser – to ensure your soil absorbs and retains moisture. BRASSICAS

Backyard birthday bash Fairy bread and cupcakes Cocktail frankfurters and sausage rolls A friendly face dressing up Party balloons on the letter box Hand-made invitations Lolly bags Mainly family and a few friends

The brassica family includes the all-too-familiar cabbages, cauliflower and brussels sprouts as well as kale, radish, rocket and Asian greens. They are cold and frost-tolerant and prefer our cooler southern autumn and winters, bolting in the heat. While traditional cabbage varieties require several months to form a compact head and reach maturity, the more open-hearted pak choy, wombok and tatsoi are some of the easiest cabbages to grow for home gardeners and are ready to pick in six to eight weeks. Pick when small to use in salads and add to stir fries. One of the more interesting brassicas is cima di rapa, or turnip top. It is also known as broccoli rabe, broccoletti and rapini. While it is the same sub-species as the turnip, it is in fact a delicious green winter vegetable that grows like a weed. It produces buds like broccoli on long stems with thin green leaves and it tastes like broccoli, but slightly stronger. It is delicious steamed and dressed with olive oil and lemon juice or braised with olive oil and garlic. It matures in just six to eight weeks – harvest the young stems, leaves and flower heads as they grow, leaving the mature central stem to produce more lateral stems and flowers. An added bonus is that it seems to be particularly pest-resistant and the cabbage moths leave it alone.

SALAD LEAVES

The secret of success with lettuce is to choose the right variety for the right time of year. It can be grown successfully throughout the year and is best sown direct, with the seedlings thinned as they develop. The thinnings, tiny tender shoots and leaves, make an excellent early season salad. Combine them with fresh herbs and a vinaigrette to create a salad of micro greens with macro flavour. The Italian Gardener sells a mixture of 14 different lettuce varieties, and Eden Seeds has a wide range of loose-leaf lettuce varieties that you can harvest as needed. Rocket is just as easy to grow and thrives in the cooler weather. Home grown, it will be stronger than the leaves languishing in the greengrocer’s fridge and add pep to winter salads.

Broad beans (vicia faba) take up a lot of room, but if you have the space it is worth growing them just to be able to harvest the young pods in late spring and eat them raw – with a slice of pecorino and a little salt and pepper. Several varieties are available – Coles Dwarf is the best for city gardeners as the plants grow to only one metre, making them less susceptible to September winds. Plants grow well in a variety of soils but prefer well-drained ground and regular watering if winter rains are light. (STOCKBYTE / HEMERA / ISTOCKPHOTOS / BRAND X PICTURES / THINKSTOCK)

For a recent Hallowe’en-themed party Jacqui organised four different types of entertainment so the children were constantly stimulated. There was Professor Green who conducted a one-hour interactive slime show. There was a wicked witch who made cookies, a bubble maker who created gigantic custom-made bubbles and a wizard who staged a magic show. “The kids loved it and at the end they got to take home a gift bag full of bugs, spiders, slime, lollies and their own baked cookies.” Jacqui says today’s parties are much more theme-based because of the way society has advanced. “Lollies are better, there are more sources of entertainment, art and craft has moved up 10 notches; everything is fine tuned and more stylistic,’’ she says. Bollywood dancers, pink limousines, wax-hand makers, hula hoopers, Harry Potter-themed parties, Willy Wonker Land parties – the list is endless. So, as children’s palates become more geared towards the spectacle, we have to ask: just how far will children’s birthday parties go? \

BROAD BEANS

PEAS

Peas (pisum sativum), like broad beans, need a lot of room if you are to get a decent crop. However, compact dwarf varieties are worth growing, as are dwarf sugar snap and snow peas. Plant them in rows about 60 centimetres apart to ensure air can circulate freely to prevent powdery mildew, and avoid overhead watering in the evening. Depending on the variety, peas can take eight to 14 weeks to mature. Pick continuously once they form pods or the plants will stop producing. Snow peas have a longer harvest period (five to six weeks) than garden shelling peas (two to three weeks). Sow regularly over the cooler months to ensure a continuous supply. Don’t forget to use the young shoots and tendrils in salads and stir fries – harvesting the tender tips will encourage lateral growth and pod production. \

Five steps to success Be clear in what you want and expect from your renovation, writes GRAY SMITH.

enovating can be daunting, but it needn’t be. A successfull result simply hinges on detailed planning, a well-considered design that best meets your needs and a project delivered within budget. Here is a step-by-step overview of how best to go about it.

DeFiNe YOUr BrieF

It is important to define clearly what you want to achieve with your renovation, being careful to anticipate future needs. Although your architect will help to develop your brief, it is important to start with clear ideas of needs ... and expectations.

DeFiNe YOUr BUDGeT

You need to establish how you will pay for your renovation and how much you are prepared to spend. Include in your calculations fees for services such as an architect, a structural engineer and a surveyor. And don’t forget council fees. It is important to have a realistic expectation of what can be achieved within your budget, and your architect can assist with this. It is wise to consider the long-term savings associated with environmentally sustainable design technologies. For example, water-conserving systems and renewable power systems will have upfront costS that will be more than compensated for in the longer term.

CHOOSe AN ArCHiTeCT

The best way to choose an architect is either through the recommendation of family, friends or colleagues, or if you have seen a house you like – be it in a street or magazine – you can find out who the architect is. ArchiTeam Co-operative, the Australian Institute of Architects and Archicentre all have registries of architects. You will be working closely with the architect, possibly over a long period, so it is important you choose one with whom you have a good rapport and who is a good communicator and listener.

Five STepS TO SUCCeSS

initial design: The architect will work with you to refine

your brief and will take that information to develop at least one concept design.

Design development: The architect will work with you to develop the approved concept into an actual design. Council applications: The architect will provide documentation for planning and building applications to council. A site survey and structural engineer’s drawings may also be required at this stage. Contract documentation: The architect will carry out a detailed design of all aspects of your home and will provide architectural drawings and specifications for tendering by builders.

The end result: A classy, well-designed renovation. (InsIde-photo erIck sAIllet GettY IMAGes)

Contract administration: The architect will oversee the tendering process and selection of builder, as well as overseeing the construction of your home to final completion and defects period. An architect is usually contracted for all of the above stages but, if finances do not allow, some architects will agree to being contracted for a partial service. Don’t expect a problem-free renovation. And there

is no way to avoid the inconvenience that comes with renovating. However, the enjoyment of living in a well-designed, newly renovated house and the increased value of your property will make it all worthwhile. \

classy classic victorian C

amaieux is classic Malvern – double-fronted, Victorian and easy on the eye. Set well back from the street, the house has a handsome symmetrical façade set beneath a cast-iron-trimmed veranda. Inside, the Victorian symmetry continues with rooms off the central arched hall. Yet this is very much a family home, as attested to by the formal living room, powder room, four bedrooms and two bathrooms – the main bedroom has an en suite – kitchen and informal, dining and living area. It is also a house with a well-documented history. Records show that it was built in 1886 as a five-room brick house for schoolmaster George Macadam. He was headmaster of Malvern State School in Spring Road from 1884-94 and bought the vacant land from a police constable in 1885, the year neighbouring Valetta Street was created. The name Camaieux – shared with a French rose

introduced in 1830 – seems to have come much later as there is no record available of the house having a name as late as 1902. Owners Amanda Richards, a stylist and merchandising manager, and her husband Paul, a Qantas pilot, bought Camaieux 12 years ago. “We wanted to keep the original part of the house, but create a large extension and make it really work for our family,” says Amanda. Enter architect Anthea Bickford, who set about turning the dream into a reality. There is nothing new about the extension at the end of the hall. However, Bickford came up with a clever solution that included extending the house across almost the entire width of the rear boundary and creating a private courtyard garden and entertaining space off the living room. The result is a winner. The open-plan kitchen and living zone are not only functional, they use every bit of available space.

Main: Victorian symmetry (top) at its best. Welcoming: The back garden (above) is a wonderful place for family get-togethers.

ON THE MOVE

Families with teenagers, young couples and parents with adult children viewed this Malvern house at its first open for inspection on May 8. Some hoped to move from Malvern East, others were looking to get a foothold in Stonnington to be close to schools and the area’s range of facilities. The house’s period style and large, practical, architect-designed extension that leads to the welcoming garden and entertainment space were warmly received.

MALVERN

8 KILOMETRES SOUTH-EAST OF CBD

At one end is the kitchen with its honed marble bench top that doubles as a breakfast bar. Ceiling-high cabinets flank the 900-millimetre-wide Ilve stainless-steel oven. The architect used another wall – which could easily have remained blank – for a “home office”. This is where working mum Amanda organises the family diary and keeps track of all the paperwork that flows into the house. Amanda also loves colour – and it shows. Not for her a life lived surrounded by white walls. Instead, cabinets near the kitchen are painted aubergine. So is a feature wall in the meals area. The colour works because it is used sparingly. The hall and bedrooms are carpeted in charcoal-grey carpet, but the informal living zone has matte-finished floors in a greyish tone called Umbria. In the living room, the wall at the far end has a Jetmaster fireplace with bookshelves on either side. Glass doors open from the living room to the north-facing garden, where Manchurian pear trees along the fence create a private space.

The formal front of the house isn’t short of colour either. The living room glows with pale rose-pink walls. In winter, with a fire crackling in the fireplace, this would be a very cosy space indeed ... and fires in this house mean real fires with real wood, not those lit by the flick of a switch. Opposite the living room, the main bedroom – with a tiled en suite and walk-in wardrobe – is classic cream. The honed marble bench and mirror continue the restrained classic look in the main bathroom. Next to it, the powder room is a bit “wilder”, with a purple glass splashback. A third bedroom is also off the hall. Two more bedrooms are side by side with access from a hall off the kitchen. All three bedrooms have generous built-in desks with shelves and storage above for serious study. Now into its third century, Camaieux is great example of how the Victorian home can be adapted for the 21st-century family. \

Now in its third century, this double-fronted Malvern beauty retains its family appeal, writes MARIA HARRIS.

One of our oldest suburbs, Malvern joined Prahran and became part of the City of Stonnington in 1994. The name derives from the differently spelt Stonington mansion in Glenferrie Road, which was built in 1890 for John Wagner, a partner in Cobb and Co. The Italianate mansion was home to seven governors of Victoria. From Victorian mansions to Edwardian houses, sprawling 1920s dwellings and apartments, Malvern has it all. Significant buildings are Valentine’s mansion (now the Malvern campus of Caulfield Grammar), St Joseph’s Parish Church and the Malvern Tram Depot. Glenferrie Road shopping strip is a gourmet’s paradise, with everything from cakes to bagels, butchers to bakers. In between you can buy sequins, silk, lingerie and lettuces. Malvern Central is known for its fashion, fresh food and take away. Famous residents: Lord Mayor Robert Doyle, the former state member for Malvern; John Landy, former Victorian governor and athlete, who trained at the Central Park oval that now bears his name; former prime minister Sir Robert Menzies, who lived in Haverbrack Avenue; actor Stephanie McIntosh, who grew up in Malvern; and Hollywood actor and former Neighbours cast member Jesse Spencer, who went to Malvern Central School. Malvern is home to De La Salle College, Caulfield Grammar, Malvern Primary School and Malvern Central School.

It’s show time on Broadway, writes MARIA HARRIS.

CAMBERWELL In the hierarchy of Camberwell streets, Broadway (don’t say The Broadway to people who live there) regularly claims top billing. The tree-lined street is filled with heritage-listed Queen Anne houses on large, leafy blocks where families can spread their wings. “Wongrabel”, circa 1901, is a classic Broadway house that has been in the same family since 1965. Before that, the story goes that it was owned by a sea captain. Vendor Nick Shugg recalls preparing a cricket pitch on the back lawn and his mother planting the now-huge palm tree in the front garden. This house is immediately impressive, stately even, with large rooms and a floorplan that could be rearranged according to your needs. The entry hall is as big as many people’s bedrooms. There are five bedrooms and two bathrooms, and the main bedroom also has an en suite bathroom and retreat. The interior is made all the more impressive by internal

The one large room upstairs is a classic from the era. Small double doors open to a balcony with painted pillars that puts the Marseilles roof tiles within touching distance and has a view over the lawn and trees. The back garden is massive, and though the cricket pitch has been turned over to garden and lawn, it would still be big enough to build a swimming pool. Old timber stables have been converted to a garage. The house is walking distance to schools, shops, the Burke Road tram and Camberwell station. \

TOORAK

BENNISON MACKINNON, 9864 5000 Apartment 405, 10 Hillingdon Place, Prahran

Price: $700,000 -$770,000 Auction: May 22 at 11.30am

Cooks, aspiring cooks and non-cooks alike may warm to this Prahran apartment, owned by celebrity chef Tobie Puttock and his wife, Georgia, in the old Red Tulip chocolate factory. “We have loved living here. We are surrounded by cafes and markets and everything else you could possible need, and at the same time life in this apartment is peaceful and quiet,” the couple say. The top-floor, three-bedroom apartment, entered via a courtyard, is a real inner-city gem. It is set over two levels and filled with natural light. The north-facing living and dining space is separated by an open-plan kitchen with granite island bench and stainless-steel appliances. Upstairs, two bedrooms share a tiled bathroom. Views to the north and south include landmarks such as St Kilda’s Astor Theatre and the spire of Christ Church, South Yarra. And Chapel Street is only a minute away. \ MARIA HARRIS

KAY & BURTON, 9820 1111 81 Clendon Road, Toorak

Price: $7.7 million + Auction: May 29 at 12 noon

“Yandiah” is real old-style Toorak – right down to the maid’s stairs at the back of the house. The house, built in the 1920s, is shielded from the street by a high wall, and an arcaded walk leads to the front door. On the right is the garden, where the swimming pool, lush lawn and mature palm trees add a touch of Beverly Hills. Renovated some years ago with plenty of peachy-toned marble, “Yandiah” is worth a visit just for a look at the sheer size and proportions of the rooms. The formal rooms are grand. Every bedroom is big; every en suite is marble. The staircase has ornate wrought-iron decoration topped with a polished timber hand rail. The kitchen and family room look out to the pool and garden through a row of french doors. Only the den, which retains its above-shoulder height timber panelling, appears unchanged. \ MARIA HARRIS

Describing this house as elegant and functional doesn’t do it justice, but it’s a start. Upon entry, the standout feature is its bougainvillea-studded octagonal courtyard. Then you realise that the entire house is actually arrayed around that central courtyard, which pours light into everything from bedrooms to the family/dining area, separate sitting room and Miele-fitted kitchen. As if that weren’t enough, each bedroom also opens on to a separate courtyard, ideal for o privacy, lots of air and light and excellent zoning. There’s ample storage space, as well as a double carport and double garage. The main bedroom looks out on a deck, which in turn overlooks the pool, and this whole part of the house faces north. A unique property that is well worth a visit. \ HARI RAJ

Floors are Australian chestnut, and the laundry and kitchen are both spacious. The main bedroom is downstairs, and full-width bi-fold doors let in light and warmth from the north-facing back deck and garden, which has a private rear access and space for two cars.

A Hilda Street entrance ensures all the convenience of Belmore Road but a bit more peace and quiet for this house. Agent Brett Philipp describes it as a “sun trap of immense proportions”, and it’s easy to see why – a north-facing courtyard and lots of floor-to-ceiling windows keep it well-lit and naturally heated in winter. The main bedroom is downstairs, while there are three more upstairs, along with a balcony overlooking the leafy surroundings. There are parks across the road and Balwyn High is within walking distance. The entrance is stacked stone, the floors are polished timber, the kitchen has Miele fittings and CaesarStone benches and the double garage is big and (more importantly) cool enough for a wine cellar. \ HARI RAJ

Interesting angles and greenery make for a great mix.

BRIGHTON Architect Andre Piotrowski has spun this Brighton beauty from glass and steel. The materials combine for a cool facade, but the interior is a whole lot warmer – the house is heated and lit by different angles of northern light depending on the time of day. There’s a lightwell and small garden set behind glass for good measure. All of those angles and interesting lines come courtesy of the trapezium-shaped block on which the house was built. You enter via a wooden path, with water features on either side, by a pivot door that opens to reveal airy, open spaces. The theme of glass and other industrial materials is continued throughout; the benches surrounding the kitchen’s Miele fittings are made of glass, which also features prominently in the bathrooms, bedrooms and the bannister. No expense was spared when it came to selecting fittings – for instance, those glass kitchen benches cost a cool $24,000 apiece. Stainless aluminium

The main bedroom, with its massive walk-in wardrobe and en suite, is downstairs for some privacy, while the pool area outside is peaceful and spacious.

The first thing you will notice about this house is its natural sand-and-cement facade, decorated with bluestone. A water feature in the outdoor garden makes for a focal point upon entry; it’s all sleek lines and cunningly concealed wiring and utilities. In the living area, blinds descend at the touch of a remote control, allowing the house’s mood to be changed in an instant. Every fitting has been carefully considered, from the built-in ironing board in an upstairs cupboard to the double-access laundry chute and the cantilevered glass balcony railings. These allow the main bedroom a perfect view of Clarke Reserve’s greenery, across the road. “That’s my front garden, without the maintenance,” says vendor Michael Piccolo. Take a look, and make sure you get the agent to point out all the features packed into this house. \ HARI RAJ

Set in structured resort-style gardens of 1200 square metres and enjoying total privacy, there are courtyards and living areas flowing from one to the next. The property includes a master suite, two further guest suites, spacious library/fourth bedroom, open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge, fully equipped bar opening to the central courtyard, swimming pool and spa, double lock-up garage and more. “The courtyard at the front faces north. You feel like you are at a health retreat and need a white bathrobe,’’ says selling agent Liz Jensen. The courtyard in the middle is very much “bring me a drink’’, and at the back there is a lush private garden, which is a total escape. You haven’t been to Portsea until you’ve stayed here! Walk to the beach and the shops. \
