REVIEW\ MOUTHING OFF BORROWED TIME “OPM,” says a sly-looking Danny DeVito, as he lets the dupe hang out there for a little while longer wondering just what the hell he means. And then that grin, one far too evil for someone that short and that cute, just before DeVito lowers the boom: “Other People’s Money,” he drawls in the movie of the same name. You never use your own – you take the risk with somebody else’s.

It’s a philosophy on which an entire nation of home owners, holiday-house mortgagees, small and large business entrepreneurs has been bravely built: you take the gamble, back yourself, borrow the money – it always seems like so much! – and away you go.

Virtually every household in this country has a debt that, in percentage terms, would make the rest of us sick with fear (only our own personal debt seems manageable, and that’s because we keep telling ourselves it is). But if you’re still paying off a home, or if you’ve only recently embarked on the endeavour, then your household debt is in the several hundred per cent range of your annual household income. Sick-making in isolation, but utterly reasonable when considered in the

context of your long working life, and the net wealth you are building with a sound investment.

So why does the existence of national debt worth 6 per cent of Australia’s gross domestic product suddenly seem like a sin great enough to get you sent off to debtor’s jail? Why, in a country with multibillion-dollar turnovers, triple-A rated debt, and one of the best-looking balance sheets in the developed world, is a budget deficit a capital crime? It absolutely beats me.

In the election campaign just concluded, one of the most bizarre features of the inter-party discussion was what the Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz calls “debt and deficit fetishism”. That’s the neurotic anxiety created by a budget slipping out of the black or into the red, or of a government taking on any debt at any point at all. A surplus is the fetish – money piling up as an example of good management. To what end, Stiglitz would ask, but then he’s the kind of guy who believes in governments actually doing things.

This fetishism brought about the ludicrous sight of the Coalition and Labor engaged in a schoolboy competition of “my surplus is bigger than yours”, and the fanciful comparison of the Australian federal government with a common and/or garden-variety household: apparently, it’s poor form to run a deficit when Australians are expected to keep their households in order.

But we do run deficits, and we do have debts.

VISIT US @

They’re called home loans, and the money loaned to us by other people so we can build up the assets, and the wealth, of our households, even with the penalty of interest. It’s not bad management – only if we overextend, or pour money into investments built on sand – and it’s what governments used to do when they wanted to build up the wealth of the country.

I remember the 774 ABC Radio switchboard jammed with calls back when the issue of publicly funded infrastructure was on the table: the view was universally positive. Who else could afford to carry the debt, and who else could guarantee an outcome of public benefit?

I also remember a former Victorian premier sitting on a vast pile of cash as he headed into his last election, and refusing to spend any of it … because it was the all-important surplus. But taxpayers don’t like you sitting on their money when you should either be doing things for them or giving the money back, and we know what happened to him.

I may be a threatened species these days, but I don’t care if the budget is in deficit, as long as the country isn’t broke.

Of all people, our government can afford the repayments.

And besides, it’s Other People’s Money: it’s ours. \ VIRGINIA TRIOLI Virginia Trioli is the presenter of ABC News Breakfast on ABC 2, 6-9am weekdays Follow her on Twitter @LaTrioli

REVIEW\ COVER STORY t’s 7am on a Saturday, and a group of youths who seem to have lost their money and their dignity are rampaging around just outside Gordon Ramsay’s Maze restaurant in the new Crown Metropol hotel, howling like fools and looking like hell. The nofuss Ramsay himself would have sorted these guys out quick smart, but this morning it’s left to security to usher them onto Whiteman Street and home to nurse their hangovers.

So what a contrast it is when the next young person to arrive in the room is Ian Thorpe, stylishly dressed and sporting a little scarf around that massive neck, to sit down for a talk about his strong views on environmental sustainability. It’s not a topic I’m used to discussing this early in the morning – indeed, I’m not used to discussing anything at this hour of the morning – but as this is the allocated time for our chat, I find some alertness in the litre or so of coffee inside me and soldier on.

I

OUT OF THE POOL AND OUT OF THE LIMELIGHT, IAN THORPE TRADES A LACK OF SCRUTINY FOR A NEW PASSION. Thing is, this is a sleep-in for Thorpe, who, as an elite swimmer from the age of 14, spent a decade getting up at 4.17am to get to training. “You’d always be quite excited when you woke up at 2.17, you’d go ‘Wow, another two hours sleep’,” Thorpe says. Was that hard?

“The routine was never an issue. The structure that’s around getting up at the same time every morning is fantastic. That was just how you had to start the day.”

It’s been quite a while since we’ve heard from Ian Thorpe. He’d been in our consciousness since he made the Australian national team at 14, became world champion at 15 and then went on to win five Olympic gold medals in the pool, dominating the 400-metre freestyle, anchoring Australia’s relay teams and attracting massive media coverage. After a golden career, he retired in 2006, aged 24, citing waning motivation. He largely retreated from interviews and media attention and he says he’s loving being away from the public spotlight. “Yeah, I enjoy it,” he says. “I live in a sleepy beachside town in Sydney and I have great neighbors. I wanted as little profile as I could possibly have.”

It is still not easy for someone as huge as Thorpe to blend into the crowd. At the peak of his fame, the attention he received in Australia and, especially in Japan, was ridiculous, sometimes hysterical young girls screaming at him, others marvelling at his extraordinary physique and, of course, those famously outsize feet that guided him to so many victories. He was an Adonis with a chiseled body and an appealing face, as marketable as a sportsperson could get. There was a softness about him – including in the way he spoke – that suggested a modesty and capacity to see the hyerbole in context.

He never really enjoyed the fame. “I am quite a shy person. I like just doing my own thing. For people to recognise me is really still quite odd for me. I’m comfortable and I understand it but it’s not what I desire. People either think you’re much better than you really are or far worse than you really are. I know I fall somewhere in between. I’m quite logical with this. I

am not that good. Let’s get a grip, people. I’m not this legendary character that you’ve created out there. That’s what you make up for movies, it’s not real.”

Thorpe has emerged from relative anonymity to support Scouts Australia’s grant application to the Federal Government for $24 million to install solar panels on every scout hall in Australia and feed the excess energy created back into the grid, providing the government with $6 million in carbon credits. The panels will cost $18,000 each to install.

The scheme follows a water-saving initiative the Scouts implemented two years ago. A federal government grant of $17 million helped supply almost every scout hall in Australia with a 5000-litre water tank, which was connected to toilet-flushing systems, and 140 scout campsites with water tanks for storage and toilet flushing.

“It feels to me as though we have a great opportunity to lead the world here and to show that we are doing something in this area that is significant,” Thorpe says.

“It can be a small step towards a sustainable future.

It’s an extension of what the kids learn about their responsibility to protect the environment.” fter retiring from swimming, Thorpe threw himself into working on environmental issues. He made two documentaries, Action Earth for Foxtel, about the practical things that can be done to help the environment, and Fish Out Of Water, which looked at the global impacts of climate change. “I’ve always had an interest (in the environment) but I didn’t really put energy into it. I was really fortunate – because of what I’d achieved in swimming – that I had access to really the best people in the country and around the world, where they didn’t mind answering my dumb questions … I got hooked.”

Thorpe is one of 200 “young global leaders” with the World Economic Forum, joining task forces on resource management. “We’re young, we’ll say and do whatever we feel like, and kind of interrupt the senior people,” Thorpe says. “It’s a group that is trying to do good. We’ll put things in different ways that may not have been considered. We have to be able to make such a strong argument to have things put on the agenda.”

He talks about the concept of “recycling up”. “It’s looking at something as simple as a water bottle we all drink from that can now be turned into a T-shirt.”

Thorpe was as ready as any athlete could be for retirement. “I spent a month where I continued training but gradually doing less and less,” he says. “You’re supposed to do three months of that, but after a month I thought ‘Why am I doing this? I’m fine, nothing’s going to happen, this is rubbish, this whole ‘transitioning out’ kind of thing’.”

He was always hugely aware that his life as an elite athlete was very different from that of his friends, including his diet. The voracious need for protein to replace the energy he burnt meant breakfast was “usually leftovers from the night before or the night before that – I used to eat things like curries, which was quite odd at that time of the morning. It was dinner food at breakfast.”

Thorpe was only 24 when he walked away from swimming, and he says people said to him that he could have done another two Olympics, but he felt it was time. “I was ready to move on. I wasn’t going to go with what the obvious rules would be, go through another Olympics, go onto the next one. I realised it wasn’t what I wanted to do any more. The decision was a long time coming. It was years.

“I needed to do other things, I needed other stimulation. I also thought at 24 I was young enough to move on and do things I wanted to do, and with enough maturity to take that direction.”

He went to Beijing to watch the Olympics a year after retiring, aged 25. It was, he says, a little strange not to

A

be competing. “I think (the Olympics) will be strange until I’m old and stop thinking ‘I wonder if I could swim here?’ Then when things really start to break down, I’ll go ‘I wonder…. Oh no, I can’t, my hips out’.”

Did he wish he was in the pool at Beijing? “Not really.

A little bit, yeah. There is always going to be a part of you that wishes you were experiencing this again. I think that’s what will happen when I watch in London.

And then after that I’ll think ‘Yeah, I’m getting too old for this now’.”

Aside from his environmental work, Thorpe puts a lot of time into the Ian Thorpe Foundation, which focuses on indigenous health and education. “These are my two passions,” he says.

He’s also busy with Thorpedo, a food-and-beverage business in Japan and he’s written a cookbook to be published in February. “It’s what I eat,” he says of the recipes. “I’m busy and I’ve gone back to cooking strategies when I was an athlete. All the excuses everyone makes – I’m too tired, I don’t have the time.

That’s me as well. It’s not good enough. Sunday night I usually have a spare three hours so I do most of my prep for the rest of the week. There’s always a meal in the house, no matter how tired I am. Having the right basics in the house if you only have 10 minutes.”

These days he swims when he’s stressed and does an hour of exercise every day except Sunday. Three days a week he does light weights and another three days he does cardio work. He says he lives “in Sydney and on a plane”, always going somewhere.

Did he ever resent the work he had to put in to become an elite swimmer? “No, I loved training.

Some days were tough, but I enjoyed pushing myself in training. People always ask if I miss training. I can

“I’M NOT THIS LEGENDARY CHARACTER YOU’VE CREATED ... THAT’S WHAT YOU MAKE UP FOR MOVIES. IT’S NOT REAL.”

get the training feeling back, that feeling of pushing myself or hurting myself, allowing myself to break down physically from exertion. But there are elements of competition that I can’t get back and are now memories.

And I’m happy to relive the memories in my own head.”

Did he feel as a teenager that he missed out on the mucking around that his friends were doing? “Not with regret. I didn’t think about it when I was young. As I’ve got a little bit older, I’ve realised more what I did miss out on. Like really lame things, things I would have liked to have done, but then I compare it to the lifestyle that I had and it’s like ‘OK, every kid would jump at the opportunity to do these things’.” Such as? “Like going to parties, teenage stuff, hanging out with friends doing nothing.”

Did he feel pressured by anyone to keep swimming?

“No,” he says. “I was pushed by myself. Not the obvious ones – trainers, parents, which you see happen to a lot of athletes. I wish I continued my education. I’m a little resentful that I missed out when I could have maintained it while I was swimming.”

Thorpe left school in Year 10 and had home schooling.

He didn’t do home schooling for Year 11 or Year 12.

“I would have been doing my HSC during Sydney Olympics,” he says.

“I was world champion when I was 15. I was kind of guided away from completing (school) because I was told it was a distraction and it was and it would have been. But I felt it would have been a really healthy distraction. A lot of sporting codes will speak about trying to develop athletes that have all these different

facets and continue with their education. A lot of people are very good at talking the talk in this space and it actually doesn’t happen, having these well-rounded athletes.”

I mentioned a recent disturbing magazine article about a 12-year-old surfer who does home schooling, or whose father claims he does. According to the article’s author, the topic became uncomfortable, with the boy’s father refusing to confirm or deny whether his son is a registered home schooler, which you need to be if your child is not attending school.

“I’d be encouraging him to stay at school,” Thorpe says. “There’s a balance between what you do. If you concentrate everything on just one aspect of your life, it’s just not healthy. All of us have our work but we have interests outside of it. You’ve got to pursue those as well, so all your eggs aren’t in one basket. There’s some balance to it. If you perform really well, that’s great.

Who are you going to share that with? If you’re not doing so well, and you place your worth and value on your performance in one area, it’s really not healthy.”

While open about his business and environmental pursuits, Thorpe never speaks of his private life. “I rarely speak to journalists about it. I’m happy to do interviews but I have to protect people around me. I’ve grown up in front of the camera and I deal with it pretty well, but I’ve seen how it hurts other people around. It makes it really tough on new relationships, really. My family suffers from it too. What I do at home – no one’s been into my home, I don’t sell pictures of it.”

He has written a letter to Julia Gillard seeking support for the solar panels for the scouts. He says he works well with both sides of politics. “For the most part they are very receptive to speaking with me,” he says.

Thorpe has to go now, to be in Frankston by 9am, to spruik the environmental message for Scouts Australia.

The next stage of his life will be without the noise and white light of his swimming career. The screaming girls have been replaced by conversations with sober politicians, the lap after endless lap in the pool replaced with frequent flyer kilometres selling his vision. He could be a gentle force for change. Which will suit Ian Thorpe just fine. \ pwilmoth@theweeklyreview.com.au » WE WELCOME YOUR FEEDBACK @ www.theweeklyreview.com.au/cover-story

REVIEW\ FOOD

Queer eye & a quince pie bonus of dining THE UNEXPECTED with a couple of gay mates at a former wharfie pub in Port Melbourne this week is having them cast a queer eye over The Graham’s renovations. This 140-year-old ex-tavern has long since shed its tatts and overalls interior to keep pace with upwardly mobile Port, but it has recently had another makeover that tones down the noise and ramps up the style factor.

My mates – let’s call them Gav and Waz, because they’ll hate that – have just finished renovating their impeccably stylish Richmond warehouse and can spot a real Artemide light from a Matt Blatt replica at a hundred paces. Seated in the Graham’s handsome dining room – picture windows over broad streets, chocolate carpet, bold-toned artworks – they swiftly picked the overhead lamps as fake Artemide Logicos (they have the bona fide version at home, naturally) but the curvaceous feature mirror is the real Philippe Starck deal and the Thonet chairs are genuine too. All told it’s an appealing facelift, as much for its good looks as its fiscal restraint. And noise levels are much more civilised now the beech-ply finishes and Baltic pine floors have been banished.

The other big change at the Graham is its new head chef, Shayne McCallum, who was elevated from his sous position in May when Daniel Lewis, ex-Arintji and Blakes, left to open his own restaurant in Collingwood.

McCallum seemed to have everything under control during a Sunday lunch when the restaurant and separate function room were packed with feasting diners. The menu read as appetisingly as ever, and some of his plates were pretty as a painting. Case in point: cured kingfish morsels spiced with allspice, clove, cinnamon and chopped thyme, artfully arranged on a rectangular plate with halved baby beetroot, crisp discs of pancetta, splodges of dill-laced yoghurt and red mizuna shoots.

L E M ON - CRU M B E D V E A L

S PICE- CUR E D K INGFI S H

There was a similar flair to the winning combination of lightly battered crunchy mudcrab smeared with wasabi mayo and sitting on a tumble of yuzu pickled vegetables and nori.

Of the three mains we ordered, the standouts were Waz’s lemon-crumbed veal stuffed with buffalo mozzarella and prosciutto – sort of like a veal Kiev but with oozy cheese rather than garlic butter – and the half-roasted Glenloth (i.e. free-range, corn-fed) chicken with one leg swaddled in pancetta, some duck-fatty kipflers and plenty of pan juices. The kipflers were cut into tiny nuggets that resembled spaetzle noodles but their rich wintry goodness outshone the unusual presentation. The only off note was a bowl of hand-cut chips that lacked crunch and flavour. We would have been much happier with a cracking serve of golden, salty, commercial-brand fries.

Desserts are old school with new tricks, as in the sticky date soufflé with tonka bean ice-cream and a quince and almond clafoutis (basically a small baked pudding) with a shot glass of gingerbread ice-cream on the side. Substituting the traditional cherry filling with quince was inspired; the perfumed fruit mingled sweetly with the ice-cream’s potent vanilla bean and ginger.

Co-owner Tony Giannakis has compiled a seriously excellent list of lubricants to complement McCallum’s high-calibre food. There are 27 by the glass, from Billecart-Salmon to an '08 Leconfield cab sav, and hundreds by the bottle. No one could browse this list and come away disappointed, regardless of whether their tastes ran to a premier cru burgundy, an elegant McLaren Vale shiraz grenache by S.C. Pannell or a ’98 Chateau d’Yquem sauterne.

Our tastes ran to a Domaine Christian Salmon Sancerre that we enjoyed so much we had a second bottle, then a Pedro Ximenez chaser. This may explain the favourable review, but I think that’s got more to do with the sophistication of The Graham. There’s a polish to everything from the service to the wine and food and now, with its chic designer reno, the interiors as well. \ KENDALL HILL khill@theweeklyreview.com.au

REVIEW\ DECANTER

TASTINGS\ DRINK THIS STONIER PINOT NOIR 2009 (Mornington Peninsula) $28; 13% a/v +++½

Food match: Roast chicken Last year was a tricky vintage for pinot noir on the Mornington Peninsula when a series of hot days shrivelled berries and reduced crop levels. This smells of strawberries and spice and everything else nice – perfumed cherries and plums. Bright flavours of tart raspberries and blood plums as well as sweet cherries are balanced nicely with fine-grained tannins. It’s only a pup, so give it some time in the decanter before drinking.

PICARDY PINOT NOIR 2008 (Pemberton) $35; 14% a/v ++++

Food match: Mushroom risotto I’ve been really impressed with the 2008 reds from Picardy. They have character in spades. This has layered aromas of cherry and plum with some smoky, sappy, forest-floor characteristics, which keep drawing you back to the glass for another sniff. There’s great balance here with food-friendly acid supported by intense flavours of spicy strawberry, raspberry and cherries.

Pinot: the cool grape found recently that I am drinking more pinot noir than ever before.

I spent four months working in New Zealand last year and the group of people I was working with – all Australians – drank a lot of pinot noir from New Zealand’s two main pinot noir regions: Central Otago and Martinborough.

The group’s enthusiasm became infectious. We’d send notes to each other recommending examples we had enjoyed, and we got together for regular dinners to show each other the wines we had unearthed.

I guess since then I’ve had a soft spot for pinot noir and have enjoyed getting to know the Australian regions that do it best: Mornington Peninsula, Yarra Valley, Canberra, Tasmania, Macedon and Gippsland.

Pinot noir is a hard grape to grow. It can be affected by seasons more than most grapes and needs lots of hands-on attention. That’s part of the reason it’s hard to find a good one for less than $20.

Smoke taint from the 2009 bushfires in the Yarra Valley badly affected many of the region’s best examples, to the extent that many wineries won’t be releasing wines from that vintage. Stock up now if there’s a 2008 pinot you’ve been enjoying from the region or you might miss out, as I did with a couple of my favourite wines.

Pinot noir is a native of the French region of Burgundy; the first references to it are from the 1st century, and over time it has spawned hundreds of different clones.

Food match: Peking duck

These clones all have different characteristics – berry size, colour, flavour range – and are suitable for different climates and wine styles; still and sparkling.

Pinot has also mutated into other varieties, red and white, along the way with pinot gris (grigio), pinot blanc and pinot meunier all sharing similar DNA. Suiting cool climates, pinot noir has found a home by the sea, where maritime winds cool the grapes in the heat of summer, and inland at high altitudes where it experiences warm days and cool nights.

Pinot has a thinner skin than many other red grapes, meaning the wines will be a lighter colour than other reds. But don’t let this light colour fool you into thinking the wines will be lacking in flavour.

Some of the best examples I’ve had recently have been a similar hue to a dark rose.

When I open a bottle of pinot, I look for these characteristics (they are usually pretty easy to identify): perfumed aromas and flavours of spice, strawberries, cherries, raspberries and plum with gamey, forest-floor notes that should be well balanced with soft, velvety tannins.

If you consider yourself to be a bit of a pinot-phile, Mornington Peninsula’s Stonier Wines hosts its annual Sipnot event next Monday. It’s a benchmark tasting of top examples of pinot noir from Burgundy, the United States, New Zealand and Australia and our wines should stack up very well against the rest of the world. Visit www.stonier.com.au for more information. \

QUARRY HILL PINOT NOIR 2006 (Canberra) $18; 13.8% a/v ++++

Food match: Grilled tuna I bought a few bottles of this last year and quickly polished them off, so I was pleased to see another bottle in the post. This is a rich wine that smells and tastes like black cherries, strawberries and spice with a little earthiness. It is medium bodied with fine tannins and a long, lingering aftertaste. Its intensity reminds me a lot of Central Otago pinot noir but without the hefty price tag.

WILLIAMS CROSSING PINOT NOIR 2008 (Macedon) $24; 12.6% a/v ++++ Food match: Duck terrine This comes from Curly Flat and was deemed not quite up to standard to be released as its award-winning wine. It set the bar high at Curly Flat and this label is always one of the bargains of the year. It was coiled up tightly when first opened but after a couple of hours in the decanter, it revealed beguiling aromas and flavours of spice, plum, dark cherry and rose petals mixed with stalky, sappy notes.

LOVE A BARGAIN?

Holm Oak is one of many wineries in Tasmania’s Tamar Valley that the mainland is starting to notice. This output is characterised by aromas of strawberry, cherry and plum, with a hint of smoke and barnyard (which is appropriate as the winery has a pet pig) with a silky mouthfeel. Assertive acid is balanced really well by sweet-and-sour flavours of raspberries and strawberries along with cinnamon spice and earthy beetroot notes.

REVIEW\ MY VIEW

Feeling well-heeled and mall content in her shopping trolley – not covered or anything, with the gravy oozing over the sides of the styro plate. I guess she was reserving the rest for dinner.

It’s just really all too much in the food court – all those wraps and lines of sushi and food providers who are trying to catch your eye, which in a way is kind of fair enough given that everyone seems to line up for lunch at one place.

But then again this is a shopping centre, and they’re designed to confuse people and take away their sense of individuality, so you have to expect people will queue where everyone else is queuing.

Here’s a tip. Sometimes you can find these quiet little cafeterias inside the Myer stores – there’s a great one at Highpoint – and I recommend them entirely for a noise-free, toasted chicken sandwich with butter on top and the magazines and high chairs and the unfriendly, olden days café ladies who wear maroon pinnies and … rubber soles. Myer is my centre of gravity at the shopping centre – it’s my geographical cue to the rest of the world. If I can find Myer, I will survive. \ KATRINA HALL kathall@ozemail.com.au » WE WELCOME YOUR FEEDBACK @ www.theweeklyreview.com.au/my-view

lady was working her way through a novel – plucked from the shelf and probably put back afterwards, sweaty palm marks and all.)

I do suffer from a creeping anxiety though, when I’m at shopping centres, that I’ll never find my way out of there.

They all look the same. All the shops look the same and all the corridors look the same. But they’re all going in different directions so it's actually really scary, like one of those bad dreams where you’re being chased by a monster and your legs won’t move so you’re running on the spot. I feel like that at shopping centres – like I’m just not going anywhere.

And the noise. My god, what is that sound? It’s not a buzz, it’s more a siren of mixed-up digital sounds coming from flat-screens, dodgy fashion-shop radios and, I don’t know, something else that sounds like electricity bouncing off the tiled floor, hitting the ceiling and then absorbing itself into all the brains of all the kids eating buckets of chips in the food court.

And I so can’t bear the food court. One time my mum’s sister rang her and said, "Get dressed up, I’m taking you out to lunch" and then she took her to a food court. Lemon chicken and fried rice on a styro plate – what a lovely treat!

They’re just sad little microcosms of life, food courts. I saw a woman at Northland get some roast meat and vegies from the carvery, eat a few mouthfuls and then put the rest

St

y horoscopes this week told me I should walk a mile in another person’s shoes. So I went to Northland in high heels, and I am still suffering.

High heels and shopping – why would anyone put the two together? You’re getting dressed to go out to pick up some groceries and maybe do the kids’ party run at Smiggle, and you choose a pair of boots with three-inch heels to wear as that’s going to make the whole process faster plus impress the guys at the fresh poultry counter? I don’t think so.

There are many women in high heels at Northland, and the weird thing is some are just wearing jeans and windcheaters with their stilettos. I cannot for the life of me work that one out.

You know what I discovered, though? Northland isn’t as awful as I thought it might be. It was actually very clean and well designed in a chain-store-coffee-hub-on-every-corner sort of way.

It was busy for a weekday, though, and it wasn’t even 40 degrees outside. (I discovered over the Christmas shopping period that people actually do hang out in air-conditioned shopping centres on hot days. On one particular day at Highpoint, there were hundreds of people lounging around at Borders, reading free magazines and pretending to sip on coffee, waiting for the cool change to come through. People were even sitting on the floor. One

Each café has its own modern fit-out and personality, a fabulous array of breakfast and lunch options and a studious caffeine focus. Haddad uses a Veneziano house-blend coffee and an array of single-origin beans from roasters around town: “Whoever’s got the best,” he says. He plans to extend the chain and its brewing methods to include filter options and is opening a roastery soon. Steven Gabrick, a charming, cheery and efficient worker at the Docklands site, seems to be the type of staff member that Haddad says finds him, rather than the other way around. He also happens to have two of Melbourne’s top baristas working for him. David Makin, who works at the Equitable Place café, placed second in the World Barista Championships in 2008 and Will Priestly, based at Docklands, placed second in the World Latte Art Championships in June.

A funky timber mural that curves over the counter like a tram-stop shelter and simple orange, red and honey-toned timber chairs create a lively, arty vibe at this ultra-modern café in the Docklands precinct.

In the centre of the action, bordered by a glass case filled with sandwiches, rolls and wraps and three towering coffee grinders, is a vivid-blue La Marzocco espresso machine.

REVIEW\ FASHION

An unexpected direction took some unusual turns in Milan and Paris during MEN’S WEAR the showcasing of spring/summer 2011 fashion week.

K ENZO

Z-ZEGN A MIL A N

Certainly there were your staples of suits and shirts perfect for office wear and casual weekend frivolities, but there were also a lot of new trends that had many fashion editors wondering who would adopt such risqué statements.

Sure they look great on the buff models prancing down the catwalk, but will the average guy feel as comfortable wearing meggings, crop tops and see-through shirts? But where would fashion be without promoting the unwearable?

Standing proud for spring/summer is the gutsy edginess of Lanvin’s men’s wear collection. Loaded with ragged seams and rough edges, the French brand found solace in biker influences in its tailoring (think Marlon Brando style), but equally important was its choice of colours – reminiscent of Mediterranean deep-sea blue and honey caramels.

Put together by Lucas Ossendrijver and Alber Elbaz, the pieces pushed men’s wear to new territory with a strong 1950s theme – think tapered trousers that finish short in length and sandals for a relaxed touch. The range was wearable and slick.

We couldn’t resist the impressive Italian fashion house Zegna. Through its Z-Zegna collection for spring/ summer 2011, a youthful persona was channelled – narrow tailoring, sharp shoulders, subtle see-through fabrics and an abundance of breezy colour including linens in shimmering silver, warm terracotta, clay and orange for extra zest.

Spring and summer is all about an earthy realism for Z-Zegna – the rule of thumb is skinny leg pants,

Z-ZEGN A MIL A N

tailored short and worn with summer shoes sans socks.

There is always a nod to the traditional navy – beautiful double-breasted pea coat-style jackets for summer teamed with white pants for a sailor twist would be just the thing for a cruise-bound holiday.

Quirky British designer Paul Smith felt right at home with a rock’n’roll story to tell with his spring picks for 2011. His collection was all about finding comfort in threads that suited men who have regular hangovers and come out the other end of a hard night on the town.

He did, after all, cut his teeth hawking T-shirts at concerts by the Rolling Stones, so there’s an element of bringing out the beast within when you really study his range. We like the fitted black jeans and casual black blazer with a new romantic tailoring – the ruffled shirt that sits underneath the blazer would easily fit the look of any band member from the Strokes or Phoenix or, heck, even Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.

For those men channelling a more sensitive side, Kenzo’s range is delightful, with all its artistry saluting berets, stripes and espadrilles.

The soft, casual tailoring of its collection allows room for checks, florals and buxom colours such as red, parrot green and pink coral. The emphasis is on breathy fabrics and delicate detailing, which fits best with summer cocktails and dusky sunsets.

Now back to those quirky additions we spotted on the runway. Calvin Klein opted to show off the abs with crop tops, while Emporio Armani introduced meggings – men’s leggings worn under shorts. Etro showcased sheer see-through fabrics in lace, the transparent image reminiscent of the ’80s, Don Johnson and Miami Vice. \

Yesteryear’s movie stars had it best and this season groomed brows are back in.

The best, quickest, easiest and safest way to swish brows is to park your tushi in a brow specialist’s chair. He or she will trim, thread, wax and pluck your arches to suit your face.

After this initial prepping you can control your brows yourself. Think of it as going to the dentist for a thorough clean every four to six months.

But if being adventurous is your forte, here are a few home tips to keep your brows pitch perfect.

Take a good look at your face in natural light.

Use a magnifying mirror for accuracy and focus.

Use a soft white eyeliner to draw the brow shape you like; every hair that falls outside this “white’’ brow is to be removed.

The shape of the brow should have a slight arch tapering towards the end.

Always pluck after a hot shower or give the brow area a hot compress; that way it “loosens’’ the follicles. Use a cotton swab doused in some astringent to settle and sanitise the area and do not forget to clean your tweezers too.

Use a sharp tweezer to begin (tweezers are the easiest option for home groomers).

Tweeze hair following its natural hair growth never against it, tweezing against hair growth and digging (however tempting) will result in ingrown hair and infection.

Check your handiwork and keep in mind less is definitely more and brows should look complimentary not identical.

Ice the freshly tweezed area to reduce redness and swelling.

10 STEPS TO PERFECT BROWS: Fill in gaps; define shape; groom and set 1. Use a pencil, pomade or powder at least one shade lighter than your brow colour.

2. If your brows are fair you should fill them in with a colour than is one shade darker than your natural hair.

3. Stand close to a mirror and look at your brows for any ‘bald spots’. Yep, you heard me right!

4. Fill in these bare patches with a soft pencil, pomade or cream using short light strokes following the hair growth.

5. If using powder dip a hard bristled angle brush into colour and go over brows with small, light flicks toward the temples. Pay close attention to the inner section of the brow and the arch area.

6. To soften and blend the colour run a spooley brush once through the brows.

7. Drag the wand of a brow gel against the mouth of the tube to clean the brush. Groom brows up and out toward the temples.

8. If you apply too much pencil or pomade remove the excess by combing the brows lightly with a clean spooley brush.

9. For full brows keep the hair in place with a coloured eyebrow wax or clear mascara.

10. A brow brush sparingly dipped in some petroleum jelly will also do the trick. \ askdhav@gmail.com

Kylie began her entertainment career when she stepped into the role of Charlene Robinson from the hit TV series Neighbours. In the early years, Kylie played the girl next door, and won everybody’s heart with her glowing face and wide smile. To think 20-plus years down the track she would be a mega-princess.

Neighbours is now behind Kylie and a recording contract with Mushroom Records is her future. With the release of Locomotion, Kylie is now identified as a woman with dual talents. She moves to Britain, which begins to recognise her talent and pushes her to greater heights – gay, disco, iconic dance music.

In the early ’90s Kylie began experimenting with alternative icons such as Nick Cave and Michael Hutchence.

She tried different ways of delivering music and began working on prominent, striking fashion images. The introduction of a new style of video clips shows a broader, darker persona.

The album that made Kylie a star worldwide. She became Australia’s most-successful female performer, conquering Europe and the US. Kylie brought back cargo pants, pointy shoes, and ’80s-style make-up. Her image in this period is timeless.

THE SPIRIT OF GOLF AND HOW IT APPLIES TO LIFE

by Richard Allen, $24.99 (Victory Books) Is golf a metaphor for life? Local golf writer Richard Allen argues it is “both deceptively simple and endlessly complex. It is humbling, gratifying, maddening and unfair. That is why there is no better sporting metaphor for life.” Allen divides his thesis into 50 short essays under titles such as “confidence”, “honesty”, “anything’s possible”, “handling disappointment” and “tenacity”. We remain dubious that this quaint little book of ideas will actually help dad’s golf game. But if he thinks it’s helping, then you’ve picked a winner with this one.

STANDING TALL: ON CONFIDENCE, TEAMWORK AND LEADERSHIP by Tom Harley, $24.95 (Penguin) In a world heavily populated with motivational and mentoring books, there is no reason to assume that one written by a 30-something former AFL star will stand out. But Harley, a two-time premiership captain, is a clear communicator with well-considered views that many people will find interesting. Standing Tall is aimed at young men, but older ones – especially those with teenage sons – will find some helpful suggestions.

FICTION

TRUTH by Peter Temple, $32.95 (Text Publishing) The winner of this year’s Miles Franklin literary award caught the pundits by surprise. Crime fiction to win Australia’s most coveted literary prize? But homicide squad leader Inspector Steve Villani is a complex character. We first met Villani in 2006 in Temple’s The Broken Shore. In this second Villani book, the character’s layers are more acutely revealed. Said Miles Franklin judge Morag Fraser: “There is pleasure in every sentence. He (Temple) is a considerable craftsman. And there is deep investment in the moral lives of his characters.

Villani is really three-dimensional.’’

THE COUNCIL OF DADS by Bruce Feiler, $29.99 (Sphere) In 2008, American writer Bruce Feiler was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer. Concerned about the future of his three year-old twin girls, Eden and Tybee, he contacted six men who had made an impact on his own life and asked them to form a council of dads. “Will you listen to them?”

Feiler wrote to each friend. “Will you answer their questions? Will you take them out to lunch every now and then?” Feiler, who is still alive, decided that whatever his prognosis, the council would continue.

This book is a tribute to those men, and a story about friendship and fathering.

SAVAGES by Don Winslow, $32.95 (Heinemann) American writer Don Winslow’s 13th novel is a thrilling action-charged story about two Laguna Beach marijuana growers (one an ex-navy SEAL) who come up against a powerful Mexican drug cartel keen for a slice of the Californian action. The cartel kidnaps a female friend of the beach boys and hold her for $1 million ransom, which spurs the anti-heroes into action. A respected New York Times critic describes Savages as “the one that will jolt Mr Winslow into a different league ... his gutsiest and most startling bid for attention”.

In this new anthology, heavyweights such as David Williamson, Barry Oakley, Don Watson, Sophie Cunningham, John Harms and Peter Corris talk about the team they love, the culture of their club, first footy memories, great games and great on-ground feats. Each chapter features one writer on one AFL club, ensuring there’s something for everyone.

ART

THE LOST BATTLES: LEONARDO, MICHELANGELO AND THE ARTISTIC DUEL THAT DEFINED THE RENAISSANCE by Jonathan Jones, $49.99 (Simon and Schuster) In early 16th-century Florence, an artistic battle between two artists, Leonardo da Vinci, painter and inventor, and the younger Michelangelo Buonarotti, sculptor and painter, reached its climax as the two men jostled for commissions and critical praise.

This absorbing study by British art critic Jonathan Jones examines the impact of this intense rivalry on each man, and on the European artists who had flocked to Italy to be part of an extraordinary time of bar-raising. “The self-striving for fulfilment is a Renaissance invention that still describes our lives,” writes Jones. “There is no clearer evidence of genesis than the contest between Leonardo and Michelangelo.”

QUOTATIONS

IMMORTAL LAST WORDS compiled

by Terry Breverton $29.95 (Quercus) Savvy London publishing house Quercus has produced a winner with this delightful little hardback. It is a must for those men in your life who enjoy a good quote and possess a healthy sense of humor. Which is not to say that all the 370 entries in Breverton’s collection are flippant; some are deeply spiritual and thought-provoking. But the wittier ones will have you chortling (“I am dying as I have lived: beyond my means”; “I should have drunk more champagne”; “I told you I was ill”). Each page is dedicated to the famous person who quipped strategically in their final hours, with a biographical rundown, an image and some background on their death. Morbid? Not at all.

FROM HERE TO THERE: A FATHER AND SON ROADTRIP FROM MELBOURNE TO LONDON

by Jack and Jon Faine, $39.99 (ABC Books) Like many children of the 1970s, ABC radio presenter Jon Faine had a long-held desire to jump in a four-wheel drive and travel across the world. In June 2008, after months of planning, Jon and his university student son Jack set off on their journey to travel from Australia to London. Over the next six months they drove 40,000 kilometres across dozens of countries, including Indonesia, Mongolia with its Gobi Desert, Uzbekistan, Iran, Turkey and western Europe to London. Part travel story, part memoir, this detailed book of jottings, maps and photographs celebrates a father-son relationship that endured some harsh challenges, tough conditions and funny moments.

THE NINTH: BEETHOVEN AND THE WORLD IN 1824

by Harvey Sachs, $35 (Faber and Faber) In Vienna in 1824, Ludwig van Beethoven’s symphony in D minor (better known as the Ninth) premiered. Music historian Harvey Sachs examines its impact on early 19th-century European society.

First-hand accounts of the cultural zeitgeist, as well as Sachs’ insightful conclusions of this new symphony, make this an enthralling read for music and history buffs. Sachs’ assertion about the Ninth’s third movement that “nothing more beautiful ... has ever been written for the symphony orchestra” is sure to see your dad downloading a recording before the Father’s Day roast has been served.

FIRST TESTS: GREAT AUSTRALIAN CRICKETERS AND THE BACKYARDS THAT MADE THEM by Steve Cannane, $27.99 (ABC Books) It is a widely held view that South African soccer players devised their own brand of football because of the limitations of playing in the backstreets of Durban and Johannesburg, and the dirt blocks of Soweto. Cannane argues that the humble backyard has been the true academy of Australian cricket. With an upturned wheelbarrow or a wooden crate for stumps and a few friends, the game’s greatest honed their skills. This collection of anecdotes and backyard cricket stories by some of the nation’s most talented players is guaranteed to stir dad’s childhood memories.

A BUTLER’S GUIDE TO GENTLEMEN’S GROOMING by Nicholas Clayton, $19.99 (National Trust Books) In giving your parent a style guide, you run the risk of offending them. But most dads appreciate a few tips on how to dress, and we’re sure they will warm to this little gem. Nicholas Clayton is a member of the Guild of Professional English Butlers with many years’ experience in how to care for men. How to press trousers, oral hygiene, dress codes for the races, how to shave effectively, selecting the right suit for your body shape, care of riding boots – Clayton even includes instructions on how to sew on a button. A must for tidy and not-so-tidy dads who want to impress.

REVIEW \ UNDER THE RADAR

TV SPIRITED \ W CHANNEL, WEDNESDAY AUGUST 25, 7.30PM Well, this is something a bit different. From the same stall as Love My Way, Spirited seems to be a reworking of ancient TV series The Ghost and Mrs Muir via Drop Dead Fred, as Claudia Karvan’s uptight dentist Suzy flatshares with dead rock star Henry Mallett. For reasons that aren’t immediately apparent, she’s the only one who can see or hear him but, on the run from a loveless marriage, Suzy is lonely enough to need a bit of TLC from an apparently imaginary friend.

It’s a great, almost-original idea, but the first episode is not exactly an unqualified success. The concept is pure family entertainment and there’s a tantalising sense the show could have been a wonderful local competitor to fantasy-tinged crossover shows such as Doctor Who and Merlin. Instead, the program makers seem determined to aim for an edgy, adult audience, by dint of some punky opening titles and a stream of foul language from our spectre. The result feels somewhat uneven and adolescent, as if the “mature” aspects have been bolted on as an afterthought. Peep Show’s Matt King is superb as louche Henry, but the light-entertainment approach sometimes makes it seem as if Richard E. Grant’s drunken thesp from Withnail and I has accidentally stumbled half-pissed on to the set of Round The Twist.

Still, a few missteps can be forgiven in the name of ambition. The next two episodes are certainly better, the tone settling in the direction of offbeat comedy, and there are signs that, given time, Spirited could become something quite special.

THE KILLER INSIDE ME

FILM BOY \ RATED M, OPENS AUGUST 26 THE KILLER INSIDE ME \ RATED R, OPENS AUGUST 26 Two very different films hit the cinemas this week, catering to those whose tastes run from blackly comic to simply black. Set in 1984, nostalgic New Zealand film Boy, the latest production from Taika Waititi (Eagle vs Shark, Flight of the Conchords), reminds us that the worst part about growing up is crossing the gulf between the world as imagined and the world as it is. When his absent father returns unannounced, 11-year-old Boy discovers dad isn’t the fantasised superhero but instead a small-time crook looking for his buried loot.

Waititi stars as the haphazard hoodlum father and is suitably endearing, even as he continues to disappoint his son. The retro setting allows the film to evoke the appealing soft-focus of that decade’s family-friendly films – it’s no coincidence that E.T. is repeatedly name-checked – while looking at the reality with an adult, acerbic eye. A charming, original comedy, Boy never quite lives up to the fast-paced, anarchic humour of the first 15 minutes, but that’s because Waititi ultimately wants to take us somewhere more honest and heartfelt.

Winterbottom refuses to shy away from the violence, remaining close on every blow as Lou beats his prostitute girlfriend (Jessica Alba) to an unrecognisable, bloody mess. In doing so, the director exposes the uncomfortable reality of sexual violence and the unthinking ease with which a man can abuse those dearest to him. Most troubling here is, even on the point of death, the women never stop loving him, seeming to understand misogynist Lou far better than he ever understands himself. It’s a well-made film, with a fantastic performance from Affleck, but one that might leave you feeling more than a little dirty.

MELBOURNE UNDERGROUND FILM FESTIVAL \ AUGUST 20-28 MELBOURNE SPRING FASHION WEEK \ AUGUST 30-SEPTEMBER 5 (FILM SEASON BEGINS AUGUST 28) TASTE OF MELBOURNE \ AUGUST 26-29 Just as it’s always opening time somewhere for the hardened boozehound, it’s always festival time somewhere for the cultured Melburnian. MIFF has just finished, but the Melbourne Underground Film Festival (MUFF) is well under way. Predictably, the protest screening of banned gay-porn-zombieflick L.A. Zombie is getting the most attention, despite reviews suggesting it’s more ho-hum than oh-my-god. Strange comedy Blondes in the Jungle looks to be more entertaining, as three teen stoners go searching for the fountain of youth in a Honduran jungle. For those with shorter attention spans, Mini MUFF is not to be overlooked, with several sessions of fleeting flicks you won’t see anywhere else.

ACMI is running a different film festival this week as part of Melbourne Spring Fashion Week.

Fashion Icons on Film is a season of four Australian

premiere documentaries looking at designers Roy Halston, Barbara Hulanicki, Ralph Rucci and Yves Saint Laurent. Beyond Biba: A Portrain of Barbara Hulanicki looks to be a standout, tracing the rise of the designer from humble beginnings in Poland to high-street domination in London.

If food is more alluring than fashion or film, the Taste of Melbourne festival might be more to your liking. Running across four days, the festival offers gourmands the chance to sample the wares of the city’s top restaurants and pick up a few tips from the professionals. This year’s range promises to be bigger than ever, with an extra floor of culinary delights on show at the Royal Exhibition Building. \ MYKE BARTLETT mykebartlett@gmail.com

REVIEW\ CHEQUES & BALANCES

Managing your investments investing is no different. As time-poor women, we often rely on one solution to fix a problem.

Setting up a high-interest ING bank account and transferring money on a regular basis might be simple to do and give you peace of mind, but on its own it is unlikely to create wealth or build an adequate retirement nest egg. Following the dream of home ownership and putting all your spare cash into the mortgage can leave you asset-rich but cash-poor.

Business owners, particularly small-business owners (many of whom are women), often have all their savings and their income tied up in the business. This can seem less risky as they have control over the business, but if it goes belly-up they stand to lose everything.

However, if you diversify your investments, you are more likely to have an asset portfolio that provides you with some income and/or liquidity (assets that are easily turned into cash) as well as capital-growth assets.

Diversification of investments basically means spreading the risk. Generally, no two investments perform the same way; therefore, while one asset class might perform badly, the other might be providing good returns.

There are four main asset classes in which to invest: cash; property; shares; and fixed-interest securities (generally government bonds). Cash and fixed-interest securities are considered relatively low-risk, so the

over a long period of time can make a big difference.

However, there are risks involved, because managed investment funds are only as good as their underlying investments. As you have no control over those investment decisions, you need to properly research the manager of the fund to make sure the investment mandate suits your risk levels and goals.

The fee structure can also vary widely from fund to fund. Some charge a number of fees on top of the management fee, so make sure you read the fine print to understand the total cost of the managed fund.

There are more than 10,000 managed investment funds available in Australia, so you need to seek the help of a financial planner or dedicate time to educating yourself and researching funds. A good place to start is www.morningstar.com.au, which provides investment portfolio information and gives an independent rating.

The amount of diversification you put into your investment portfolio depends on what your goals are and what level of risk you are prepared to tolerate. It all depends on your personal circumstances.

While the dream of owning your own home has its benefits, it needs to be accompanied by investment in income-producing assets to ensure you don’t spend your working life paying off your home loan, only to find you need a reverse mortgage in retirement just to live. \

returns are low too. Shares and property might deliver greater returns but also carry increased risk.

If you have the time and the money, you can invest directly in each of the asset classes yourself. If, like most of us, the thought is overwhelming, then it is possible to diversify your investment portfolio and lower your level of risk by investing in managed investment funds.

To do this, you buy units in the managed fund and your funds are pooled with other investors’ and invested in shares or other assets by the fund’s investment manager. The fund owns the actual shares and assets.

The price you pay for a unit in a managed fund is expected to increase over time, thus giving you capital growth on your investment (as with any investment, there is also the risk that the unit price could go down).

If the fund buys dividend-paying investments you can also expect to receive income distributions from it.

These distributions will be subject to income tax.

Managed investment funds can specialise and invest in one asset class or might invest in a mixture of assets, depending on their mandate. This allows you to invest across a range of asset classes and industries within those classes without having to make the individual investment decisions yourself. You pay a management fee for the service. Basically, the work is done for you.

One of the other major benefits of managed investment funds is that you can start investing with as little as $1000 upfront and make regular contributions that suit your cash flow. Remember, investing a little

REVIEW\ SNOW DINING

Dining with altitude he refrigerated van Andrew Blake hired for the first delivery to his new restaurant on Mount Hotham in 2005 was a disastrous six hours late.

It had no hydraulic tailgate to ease unloading and the 1.5 tonnes of produce and equipment it contained had to be lugged by hand through the snow.

Blake, who also runs Blakes Feast Catering, based in Glen Iris, admits he and his winter team learnt some tough lessons when they took over the Zirky’s bistro, café and fine-dining restaurant complex on the mountain. “We knew things wouldn’t be easy as soon as we saw how small the kitchen was. It had 10 gas jets operating on bottled gas, which we knew would struggle with as soon as we put a stockpot on,” Blake said.

Five years later, he says: “We’ve got it all down pat now, with our menus and suppliers. We use as much regional produce as possible, including wines, and have a fruit-and-vegetable supplier down the mountain. But we make all our soups, sauces, braises and things like shanks in our kitchens in Melbourne. We vacuum-pack them and bring them to the mountain in our own refrigerated van. The vacuum packing works well. It not only extends the shelf life of the food but it streamlines our operations and allows us to control quality. Last year we offered a crayfish laksa. Staff in the kitchen (on the mountain) just had to cut the bag open and gently warm the crayfish.”

Fine dining in the snow is a glamorous part of the après-skiing activities for the hordes who enjoy Victoria’s ski fields each season, but the challenges for the chefs and managers catering for fluctuating crowd volumes in the unpredictable and erratic short snow season go unnoticed by diners who demand, and pay for, city-quality meals.

In early May this year, Victoria’s first snowfalls were reported at Mount Buller, Mount Baw Baw, Mount Hotham and Falls Creek. As the cold weather arrived early, hopes were high for a bumper season. But by late July things were looking grim as resorts across the state awaited a cold snap. Patchy natural ski runs and reduced occupancy rates were obvious and modern snowmaking equipment worked overtime.

When snow fell again in the first week of August,

T

the relief was palpable and the ski resort’s websites rang with the news. “Some seasons are more difficult than others. In a good snow season there are plenty of pre-season bookings, but when there’s no snow, occupancy rates drop,” Blake says. He and fellow restaurateurs “pray for blizzards” – then occupancy rates are high and people are forced indoors. A $1.7-million investment in snowmaking equipment at Mount Hotham this season has been a huge help for businesses on the mountain, says Blake.

Being at the mercy of the weather, juggling a transient workforce and even huge gas bills are other challenges faced by restaurant owners on the snowfields.

Seasonal incomes have to be balanced out by business operations at other times of the year, too. Then there’s the difficult decision for the chefs to use local produce or not, and even the balance of getting the mood and atmosphere right for such a diverse, demanding audience.

At Falls Creek, Simon Rawlings, who has owned Summit Ridge Restaurant for 10 years, has striven to create an informal atmosphere.

Summit Ridge won the 2010 Restaurant and Catering Excellence Awards’ regional informal dining category and lists a swag of other food and wine awards on its website. Rawlings eschews the term “fine dining”. “Our food does have lots of components and it’s quite ‘worked’,” he says, “And, yes, we are about great service, great wine and great food, but we want it to be a casual, relaxed experience, too.

“We took off the white tablecloths a few years ago, but we still use quality stemware and expensive linen napkins. We recognise that we are in the snow and people are on holidays. We want them to come in dressed as they are and be comfortable.”

Rawlings has solved the seasonal income and staff transience problem by also running a restaurant operation in Japan. This means he is able to employ his kitchen team full time. He is a strong advocate for using local produce, both in Japan and at Falls Creek.

The Summit Ridge menu features a full-page dedication to its local suppliers – the poultry is free range from Milawa, chestnuts are sourced from Wandiligong, Buffalo River and Stanley, and the Morrison Street Continental Butchery in Wodonga provides beef, lamb and pork sourced from the alpine valleys.

“We know most of our growers and know our beef from paddock to plate; we use local oil and butter. We source very little of our ingredients from Melbourne but, having said that, we will look elsewhere when the local quality is not up to scratch,” says Rawlings.

It’s a different story for Jack Frost’s chef Kurt Adam (ex-Home Dining Room and Auction Rooms), at Mount Hotham. As a former Melbourne chef, he staunchly prefers to source his produce from trusted Melbourne suppliers for the popular gastronomic pub.

“The biggest challenge for me is not being able to get hold of something I could source in Melbourne. Up here, I order twice a week. In Melbourne, I would go to the market myself and see what was in season and what looked good.

Here, it just turns up on my doorstep and I have no control over the quality.”

In his second season as head chef at Mount Buller’s Snow Pony, Anthony D’Augello (ex-Grossi Florentino, Mirka at Tolarno and Mecca) uses local produce where possible, but factors freight costs into the equation. Mount Buller is closer to Melbourne and his Italian-focused restaurant is able to import products and transport them to the mountain.

But the difficulty at a resort closer to the city is that when the snow does fall, restaurant bookings “go crazy”.

“We can only seat 50 people at a time in two sittings a night,” D’Augello says. “So when the snow falls, people want to come up, and we have to set up waiting lists for diners.”

In another nice seasonal balance, the Snow Pony team will run the newly renovated Sandbar Beach Café and restaurant in St Kilda during the summer. \ LEANNE TOLRA leanne.tolra@gmail.com

REVIEW\ SNOW DINING

Ski-licious options MOUNT BULLER

SNOW PONY SUMMIT ROAD \ 5777 6010 Snow Pony’s seductive, evocative “cave-like” restaurant and bar is a welcome retreat from the busy Bourke Street ski run. Its interior combines traditional chalet elements with a mix of recycled timber, log walls, a dark marble bar and a massive log fire. Chef Anthony d’Augello’s simple menu has a strong Italian focus. Breakfast includes a range of egg dishes and a selection of pastries. At lunch, main-course options such as fettuccine with lobster and cream sauce are hearty, with generous lobster pieces, while dishes such as the filling and tasty risotto with meatballs will appeal to younger diners. Dinner options include unfussy choices such as pasta fagioli, a Tuscan bean and vegetable soup, rigatoni alla matriciana (with pancetta) and spaghetti with meatballs. Snacks include croque monsieur, chicken parmigiana and steak sandwiches. Snow Pony sits between a casual café and the more fine-dining options on the mountain. Welcoming and seating efficiency can be lacking in busy times but service on the whole is pleasant. Small tastes $8-$18; mains $18-$44. \ PETER WILMOTH

FALLS CREEK

HOO HAH KITCHEN MOUNT BULLER VILLAGE \ 5777 6736 Inside the Kooroora Hotel in Mount Buller’s Village Square is this welcoming haven for locals, “towies” and hungry families. With its casual wooden tables and videogame area around the corner, it’s child friendly and suited to noisy crowds. Order at the counter and take a number. Hoo Hah’s menu concentrates on home-style, hearty meals and tasty bar snacks such as sweet potato and macadamia fritters, salt and pepper calamari on an Asian salad, a trio of sausages served on mash and open chicken souvlakis on a Greek salad, with ciabatta bread. Choices such as Singapore noodles will please hungry adults, while children will be more than satisfied with simple schnitzel and chips. Serves are generous and prices are modest. Lunches $10-$30; dinner $12-$30. \ PW ALSO TRY ABOM \ 5777 7899 Crowded, popular. Pizza and bistro meals.

BLACK COCKATOO \ 5777 6566 Fine dining. Modern cuisine.

ALTA RESTAURANT 17 BOGONG HIGH PLAINS ROAD \ 5732 8000 With its snappy black-and-silver fit-out and deep-grey carpets, Alta Restaurant, in the heart of the “new” part of town at Falls Creek, is modern and relaxed. Wide windows that capture the winter scenery outside and a bustling open kitchen within ensure visual appetites are sated. Chef James Webb takes care of the real hunger, using an impressive selection of quality local ingredients.

Attractively presented dishes are generous and flavours have been carefully considered. A delicate piece of Stoney Creek smoked trout is the perfect partner for its herbed crème fraiche topping and its fennel, spring onion and apple accompaniment. Mains include roasted Gippsland lamb rump with a luscious white-bean puree and Kiewa Valley aged beef with wild mushrooms and a gossamer-textured mustard spaetzle. Service is enthusiastic and considerate and desserts such as the warm pear and ginger cake with cinnamon ice-cream and honeycomb are made with care.

Entrees $10-$18; mains $28-$38. \ LEANNE TOLRA

SUMMIT RIDGE 8 SCHUSS STREET \ 5758 3800 Classic “ski lodge” décor, from the stone-hearthed open fireplace to the ceiling-high timber racks that hold bottles of the 250-strong award-winning wine list, set the scene for relaxed dining at Summit Ridge. Chef Michael Newby’s refined and innovative menu makes the most of the region’s produce. Well-executed entrees include a stunning chestnut and parsnip soup and house-made linguini with pine mushrooms, green olive tapenade and truffled sheep’s cheese. Mains are carefully balanced flavour experiences, and a pork loin, pork belly and bean hash combination is enhanced by its apple puree and an apple and chervil salad. The perfectly cooked Milawa duck breast partners well with its artichoke, winter pear and purple mustard accompaniments.

Overzealous service, such as dishes delivered too closely together, can mar the experience. But desserts, such as toasted marshmallow with citrus curd, expertly matched to wines, are the lasting memories.

Entrees $17-22; mains $36-$40. \ LT

HUSKI PRODUCE STORE 3 SITZMARK STREET \ 5758 3863 Local produce is the main focus at this smart six-year-old café at the base of the Huski apartment complex. Smart white walls that reflect the glowing snow outdoors, shelves filled with local wines and gourmet treats and light, modern timber furniture create a cosmopolitan vibe. From its simple breakfast menu – ciabatta with egg and bacon and wholegrain porridge with honey – to the all-day menu featuring Italian white beans in Napoli sauce, Huski caters well for hungry skiers on a break. Hearty lunchtime options include the tasting plate with an abundant selection of Milawa cheeses, marinated mushrooms, olives, roasted vegetables, meats, quince paste and crackers, or a braised lamb, mushroom and brie ravioli with a spinach sauce. Service is helpful and efficient. Lunches $21-$28.50; tapas $8.50-$21.50. \ LT ALSO TRY OSHII-GO \ 5758 3375 Japanese-inspired cuisine.

CLIMBING TO THE TOP

THE WHITE ROOM GREAT ALPINE ROAD, HOTHAM CENTRAL \ 5759 3456 The White Room’s low black ceilings, subtle lighting and stark black tables are edgy and modern.

White box lights on one corner of the ceiling and glass display cases, featuring local snowgum leaves, are prettily reflected by the crystal curtain of snow outside. Chef Pablo de Pasquale’s menu features Spanish tapas-style dishes and European-influenced cuisine. His charcuterie platter is a generous, quality selection of meats such as spec (cured and smoked pork belly), lachsschinken (rolled pork loin) and serrano ham. Mains include choices such as linguini con gambas, green prawns with Napoli sauce, a blue-cheese risotto with a rocket, apple and walnut salad and twice-cooked duck with Moorish spices and a quince glaze. Flavours are simple and well considered, service staff possess varied levels of experience and polish, but the wine and cocktail lists are impressive. Desserts, such as the crema catalana with citrus salad, are creative and inspiring. Tapas $4.50-$22 ; mains $26-$39. \ LT

DINNER PLAIN

BLAKES AT ZIRKY’S GREAT ALPINE ROAD, HOTHAM CENTRAL \ 5759 3518 Upholstered banquettes, crisp white tablecloths and low ceilings create a cosseting, noise-proof bunker atmosphere at Blakes at Zirky’s.

This five-year-old formal dining space, operated by Andrew Blake (ex-Blakes, Stella, now Blakes Feast Catering) is attached to a daytime café and the all-day bistro but seems a world away from either.

The well-trained, efficient staff keeps the food moving at just the right pace. Entrees include dishes such as seared scallops with a salad of shaved fennel, pork, orange and pomegranate, and crisp, snappily spiced Kentucky-fried quail on Vietnamese “slaw”. Beautifully presented mains include choices such as a generous bay snapper and mussel pie with saffron mashed potato, and roast duck with porcini tortellini and a black pepper sauce.

The hot blueberry soufflé with white chocolate ice-cream is a standout dessert and appeals to diners of all ages. Entrees $21-$25; mains $42-$58. \ LT

JACK FROST GREAT ALPINE ROAD \ 5759 3586 Jack Frost’s owner, Adam Ashley, took over the popular pub two seasons ago after working on the mountain for 21 years, and brought in his own team to run the kitchen. The rustic décor, live music from Thursday to Sunday nights, entertainment and genial atmosphere ensure there’s always a crowd. Chef Kurt Adam arrived on the mountain this season offering inspiring sharing dishes such as lamb and manchego meatballs with smoky tomato gravy and ras el hanout-spiced prawns with baba ganoush, ruby grapefruit and greens. His hearty main-course offerings, from simple quality chicken parmigiana to winter warmers such as lamb-shank ragu, with potato gnocchi and gremolata, or duck with kipfler potatoes, bacon and cherry jus, appeal to mountain staff and visitors alike. Share plates $7-$16; mains $22-$33. \ LT

TSUBO BIG MUSTER DRIVE \ 5159 6622 Tucked beside the luxurious Onsen Retreat and Spa, Tsubo is a neat fit for the oriental-influenced pamper-focused venue. Stylish décor with a strong Japanese influence – sunken seating, timber floors and ceiling, low lighting and parchment screens – sets the scene for the fusion cuisine to follow.

Chef Hamish Nugent’s dishes are designed for sharing and probably best appreciated as part of the $65 or $85 “feed me” banquets. There are crowd-pleasers such as crumbed calamari with Japanese mayo, or tatsuta-age (soy marinated fried chicken pieces) and more unusual, but less-successful, combinations such as okonomiyaki (a pancake with squid and cabbage) or lamb backstrap with sausage, lentils, tomato chutney and beetroot.

MOUNT HOTHAM

“It’s been a big job and it’s not even halfway finished, but Rome wasn’t built in a day,” says Joshua Maude, head chef at Village Central, Mount Baw Baw, of his plans to improve the mountain’s food offerings.

The drive to Baw Baw from Melbourne (allow three hours) includes, according to locals, the most steeply ascending stretch of road in Victoria. Maude has also faced some serious uphill battles introducing his new menu. “When I started it was pretty much pub food,” he says.

“This place needs to step up and the Alpine pub (across the road) needs to move with it to get in line with the Hothams and the Bullers. We’re in the process of creating a local degustation menu of Gippsland produce that will include local wine, asparagus, cheese and native Australian fare like emu and crocodile as well as roo.”

Maude’s present menu surprises and sometimes delights. He keeps the theme within an area of interest developed during his times in central Australia: native Australian. Considering a huge percentage of Mount Baw Baw’s day-trippers are foreign tourists, it will no doubt do very well.

I tried the bush honey-glazed kangaroo, with a ragout of mushrooms and spinach, perched on a delicious, slightly crusted rosti of Maffra cheddar cheese and sweet potato.

The starter of prawn fritters served with rocket and chili jam was a little heavy on the onion but the fluffy consistency of the fritters balanced beautifully with the jam’s piquancy. Other signature dishes include chicken mousalini roulade and favourites such as rack of lamb.

Mount Baw Baw is Victoria’s most affordable ski resort (especially for snowboarders, who will dig the terrain park) and the food does not break rank.

“We’re pretty limited with ingredients but next season that’s going to change,” Maude says. “There’ll be more local cuts of meat as well as local truffles, which are better than any I’ve ever had from Tassie.” \ ANDREW McUTCHEN

REVIEW\ REFLECTIONS

For people new to the dating scene, the HIV numbers are relevant, writes CLAIRE HALLIDAY.

at her girlfriend’s house, during a party. She remembers that American Pie by Don McLean was playing in the background.

The man was carrying condoms and it was his idea to wear one. She’d said “yes” because she was only a few years into the workforce after her teaching degree and she didn’t want to have a baby.

She never slept with him again.

A few months later, when she met the man who would become her husband, he also had condoms, but after a while they didn’t bother with them because she went on the pill.

“That’s what everyone did,” Helen, 63, says. “It wasn’t about avoiding diseases, it was about making sure you didn’t get pregnant.”

After the wedding, two years later, she did have a couple of children – Helen used an intrauterine device (IUD) in between – and, eventually, she convinced her husband to have the snip and didn’t have to think about sexual protection again.

But now, after 37 years, Helen’s children are long grown up, and her husband has left, too.

He said it was just because he didn’t love her any more, but she found out later that he had been seeing someone else – an affair started while they were still together, taking turns to wheel the rubbish bins onto the street each Tuesday night, her thinking that they would keep growing old together.

At first she didn’t think about having sex with anyone else, but it has been 16 months now and she thinks she’s ready. Lonely. Just wants to feel someone touch her. She’s been online, checking out the dating sites, and she’s not sure where to start. At least she doesn’t have to worry about pregnancy any more. But there’s so much more.

Helen has read the statistics – that incidences of sexually transmitted infections (STI) are on the rise throughout the country. She doesn’t want to become part of them.

According to Kerrilie Rice, chief executive officer at Positive Women Victoria – an organisation that offers support and advocacy for women living with HIV/AIDS – women such as Helen are a very real part of HIV statistics in Victoria.

Since 1999, 5947 people were diagnosed with HIV in Victoria. Of these, 436 (7.3 per cent) were women.* While Rice says that many of the 63 new members to join Positive Women Victoria in the past five years are younger women from diverse cultural backgrounds, older Anglo-Saxon women going through separation or divorce who may be less confident about negotiating safe sex and have less knowledge about HIV and testing, have also been identified as a risk group.

The number of new HIV diagnosis in Australia increased by 38 per cent over the past 10 years.

At the end of 2008 there were 28,330 people who had been diagnosed with HIV, 2464 (8.7 per cent) of whom were women.

Between 1999 and 2008, HIV transmission by heterosexual contact had increased by 32 per cent (22 per cent for women).

In a similar period, from 1999-2007, chlamydia

infections rose from 2000 a year to more than 11,000, with chlamydia rates in Melbourne sexual-health clinics reportedly rising from 4.2 per cent in 2003 to 6.7 per cent in 2007.

For Helen, newly divorced and on the edge of the single’s dating scene, they are numbers that are suddenly relevant.

I tell her, too, about syphilis – the way it has increased in Victoria from 50 cases in 2001 to 400 in 2007.

I tell her that I have read, in more than one place, the theory that this spike in reported STIs has a link with the events of September 11 (2001), and that the dramatic fall in sexually transmitted infections, circa 1990s, that came as a result of the fear campaign spearheaded by Siimon Reynolds’ Grim Reaper ad campaign was undone even more deftly a decade later by the global, grief-inspired live-for-the-day mentality. With a future that seemed so shakily uncertain in those first shocked days after the Twin Towers fell, and the deaths in Bali on October 12, 2002, sexual promiscuity, it seems, was some sort of damp, sticky Band-Aid. If it’s true, Helen didn’t notice at ther time.

She was still married then. Happy. To her, the terrorist attacks were something to worry about but when she fell into bed with her husband in the small hours of that morning, dulled by too many news reports and footage she couldn’t quite believe, and they made love together, it was out of some need to be comforted by some mundane familiarity. Not because she expected the sex would take her one step closer to her own carefree death.

But now she’s not married, and she’s not particularly happy, either, and what she resents almost as much as the formality of divorce and the way the vows she made in good faith seem so silly now is the fact that she has to now learn to charter these murky waters of lust and love.

It’s bad enough, she says, that companionship has become something to shop for online, like some experiential novelty gift. She doesn’t want to think about diseases as well.

But, according to a recent survey published in a US journal of 600 women who used online dating services, it is something women such as Helen should think about more. The survey showed that up to a third of women who meet men through online dating sites are having sex on the first date, with 70 per cent not using condoms. Blame the lulling of perceived knowledge that comes from nights (and often weeks or months) spent communicating online.

I tell Helen that things may get even more dangerous and that she really should take care.

With online dating site RSVP reporting earlier this year of a boost in membership of over-50s, and the Council on the Ageing spokeswoman Anne-Marie Elias calling for safe-sex workshops and guideline policies to be implemented into aged-care and retirement facilities – to help staff deal with promiscuous behaviour among the Viagra-driven elderly who missed out on the safe-sex education of subsequent generations – she is about to enter an unknown world.

Helen didn’t expect to be on her way there at this stage of her life. She thinks this each week when she trawls the two online sites she has signed up to, looking for that man who says more about friendship than fornication. And she thinks it, especially, on Tuesdays, when she wheels the rubbish bins out by herself. \ info@clairehalliday.com SOURCE: *RESULTS FROM THE 2009 ANNUAL SURVEILLANCE REPORT PRODUCED BY THE NATIONAL CENTRE IN HIV EPIDEMIOLOGY AND CLINICAL RESEARCH

REVIEW\ OPERA Greta Bradman’s love of music came from her family, especially her piano-playing grandpa, writes JANE ROCCA. he may be the granddaughter of cricketing great Sir Donald Bradman, but for 31-year-old soprano Greta Bradman, memories of her famous grandpa mostly revolve around the piano at his home in Holden Street, Kensington Park, a suburb of Adelaide.

“Grandpa would always be on the piano any opportunity he could get,” recalls Bradman who recently moved to Melbourne from Adelaide with her husband, Didier Elzinga, and children Jude, 3, and Casper, six months.

“Although the Bradman name is associated with cricket, for me it’s more than that. I come from a musical family and it’s something that has remained strong with me all of my life,” she says.

Bradman remembers visiting her grandparents after school with her brother, Tom, and eating dinner with them most nights.

Instead of plonking themselves in front of the television (as most kids find themselves doing these days), they would walk into the house to find grandpa sitting at the piano playing songs from memory while his wife, Jessie (Lady Bradman or Lulla as she was referred to by Greta), would whistle her way around the house and join in the festive spirit.

The Don, as he was affectionately known, loved American composer George Gershwin and made sure his granddaughter appreciated the composer’s popular melodies. It was these childhood memories that had such an impact on Greta Bradman that as a teenager she became more drawn to classical music than to pop music.

“I really cherish those moments and realise that’s where the love of music stems from, and the fact that my father was a jazz singer too,” says Bradman.

“My mum’s father loved opera and even though he had stage fright, he used to sing at his house all the time for us. There really was no escape from music in my childhood.”

Sir Donald died on February 25, 2001, aged 92. While he is recognised as an Australian sporting icon and the world’s best batsmen, for his granddaughter, there was more to him than sport and statistics.

“A lot of people know my grandpa better for his cricketing achievements but for me it was grandpa the piano player, grandpa the music lover, grandpa the song lover. He was full of life when it came to music and we enjoyed it together right up until the end.” Her grandmother, Lady Bradman died from cancer in 1997, aged 88.

In an attempt to raise her profile as a singer, Greta Bradman recently sang at the MCG before the Queen’s Birthday match between Collingwood and Melbourne, while earlier this year she performed with the Australian String Quartet. She has slowly come out of her private shell to embrace the stage and take her music to the masses. It’s all the obvious grooming a record label arranges when there’s a debut album on the way.

Forest of Dreams is Bradman’s first with Sony Music and says motherhood inspired the recording. It features 16 lullabies sung by Bradman and arranged by celebrated producer John Foreman. While her audience is primarily young children, Bradman hopes adults will also enjoy the music.

“When my son, Jude, was born I searched everywhere for a CD that I could play him. All I could find was

instrumentals, but I had other ideas of what I was after,” she says. “When I couldn’t find the album I had in my mind, I decided to make it myself.”

Bradman’s selection for the album included classical favourites including lullabies by Brahms and Gotter and others made famous by the likes of Simon and Garfunkel and Peter, Paul and Mary. She also has a go at reinterpreting modern pop standards by Creed and Billy Joel.

Sony Australia’s CEO, Dennis Handlin, fell in love with the idea and gave Bradman the go-ahead.

“I really wanted to create something for kids. I found something like 700 lullabies but made a more feasible shortlist of around 30. I was discovering a lot of lost gems, like the Spanish one on the album Con Amores, la Mi Madre. I also couldn’t go past Billy Joel’s Lullaby (Goodnight My Angel) and as a little girl I grew up listening to Peter, Paul and Mary and had to include Hush-A-Bye (All the Pretty Little Horses).”

When driving around Melbourne with the kids, Bradman’s eldest, Jude, always asks mum to put Forest of Dreams on the CD player. He is the one, after all, who has tried and tested all of the songs in the lead-up to them being released.

“You know what’s funny is that Jude is so used to mummy’s voice he sometimes says you’re hurting my ears with that voice,” says Bradman laughing.

“But since the album has been recorded I find he loves

having it on in the car, particularly when he is coming home from kinder. He wants to hear it and it puts him in a nice peaceful space. Casper is only six months, but he’s exposed to it as well. I find they both mellow when it’s playing.”

The wisdom of releasing her debut album while busy caring for two small children crossed Bradman’s mind, but she also knew that ignoring her desire to get the music out there was not a healthy option. To add to her already busy workload, she is undertaking her PhD in clinical psychology and says multitasking is her forte.

“I am not going to lie to you; it has not been an easy task,” says Bradman of juggling motherhood, career and education.

“It’s been difficult doing them all but family is always the number one priority and everything else I desire has to work around that,” she says.

“Having children changed my life. It made me realise the importance of music and how I needed that to run a household, raise a family and have happy children.”

Bradman has almost completed a joint master’s degree in clinical psychology and a research PhD in human intelligence at the University of Adelaide. It has been part of the reason she wanted to make an album of lullabies for children – to combine her academic research with her skills as a soprano.

“I am no stranger to research,” she says smirking. “I have been learning about the developmental benefits of listening to classical music at a young age and how it sets children up to do better later in life.

“My PhD is very much about the physical and psychological long-term health of the population and how music can be used as another means of therapy.

Psychology is one way to assist people, but music is just as valid. It’s just as much a force for healing.”

It was during her mid-20s that Bradman began to experience success in classical music. She was a

founding member of the award-winning Eve Vocal Trio and Adelaide Chamber Singers and was resident vocalist for The Firm’s concert series for the past four years.

She was also a guest soloist with ensembles and choirs including the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, Adelaide Chamber Players, Adelaide Baroque, the Kegelstatt Ensemble, Soundstream New Music Ensemble, Syzygy, the Adelaide Philharmonia Chorus, Syntony, Graduate Singers and Cantamus to name quite a few.

“Music is about touching people, about expressing true emotion,” says Bradman. “And it’s the same in clinical psychology. You have to give of yourself, you have to be genuine and truly empathise. It has to be sincere, it has to be true, and it has to come from a place of who you really are.”

Bradman is bright and ambitious, and she’s found a way to channel both. Her achievements speak volumes of a woman who has made sure she’s never missed an opportunity or given up on chasing a dream. hen you first see Bradman, you’d think she was much younger than 31. She is petite and pixie-like – but underneath the slight frame is a woman who knows what she wants. She is a timely reminder that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.

She admits that motherhood has helped her become more confident and also helped clarify in her mind that music is her healing stone.

While Forest of Dreams pitches itself as an instant calmer for infants and children, it also keeps Bradman grounded and is a much-needed soothing source in her own life.

While all of the songs on the album hold a special memory for Bradman, there are a few that take on an extra special quality. She has dedicated Summertime to her mother and father and recalls listening to it when she was growing up, but instead of the jazzy and operatic versions she embraced as a child, she’s gone for a more gentle rendition. Then there’s Scarborough Fair – a song she sang many times as a child and that brings back vivid images from that time.

“I remember singing it with my dad and Lulla. My grandma would be whistling it under her breath as she moved about her house. It has some very special memories for me and I love the tune. I grew up listening to Simon and Garfunkel’s version too and always enjoyed it.”

It has only been a few months since Bradman settled in Melbourne, admitting the move was to assist in advancing her music career. “There is just a lot more happening in Melbourne than Adelaide,” she says. “I do miss Adelaide because it is where friends and family are, but I was ready for this change.”

Out of nowhere she reveals she’s never had a real job and feels she has to explain. But it’s easy to see that Bradman has been busy leaving an indelible mark on the classical music scene, building a following of earnest fans and earning a reputation as a soprano with a bright future.

“I have never really had a proper job, so to speak,” she says. “But I have come to the realisation that it is not the job, in inverted commas, that makes you a better person.

“It’s important to be doing something that you love, something that makes you feel whole. You can’t beat yourself up thinking you should be doing something else with your life. I never started out in music to make a career of it, but as the years have moved on I feel a desire to want to give that a go.

“In order for me to be happy I need it permanently in my life.” \

REVIEW\ PET PROJECT

A tale of two dogs While Boston terriers and French bulldogs might be easy company for inner-city living, getting your hands on one is anything but simple, as MYKE BARTLETT found out. have become the kind of man who stops strangers in the street to talk about their dogs. More than once, I’ve even crossed the street to do so. This has been coming on for a while, ever since I first glimpsed a Boston terrier during a month’s stay in Manhattan.

Three-and-a-half years later, I’m no closer to claiming one of my own, but it’s not for want of trying. I’ve done the research, I’ve spoken to breeders. I’ve been told to take what I’m offered, male, female, blind, deaf or albino. Frankly, there are mythical creatures more easily found than a Boston in Victoria.

Three months ago, I finally heard from a breeder that a litter was en route and one would be spare. Probably. I was told to call back in a month, which I did. Then I was told to call back in two weeks, which I did. Then another month. A fortnight ago, the breeder was decisive. I should definitely call back in another two weeks.

When I call today, I don’t need to give my name. “I might have good news for you,” she says. Alone in my kitchen, I rehearse a happy dance.

“Call back in a month.”

To be fair, I’m one of the lucky ones, sitting at the top of a very long list. Some breeders tell stories of wannabe owners waiting three or four years for a Boston.

Alongside French bulldogs, the breed has seen such a surge in popularity that what few breeders there are can’t hope to keep up with it.

Diane Boyle, of the Boston Terrier Club of Victoria, estimates there are only three breeders in Victoria who might have the occasional pup to spare. Add to that small litter sizes – most bitches have litters of only two or three and, thanks to a narrow pelvis, usually have to deliver via caesarian – and a couple of years no longer seems such an outrageous wait.

“I get so many phone calls,” Boyle says. “I’ve been involved with breeding Dalmatians for nearly 30 years and I’d get an inquiry once in a blue moon. With Bostons, I get maybe four or five calls a week.”

This newfound popularity shouldn’t be surprising.

There’s something very Melbourne about Bostons and their Gallic cousins. Compact but stocky, as fond of the outdoors as they are of their sofa, both are built for city life. There’s also the hint of something

ever-so cosmopolitan about them. And, dare we say it, something ever-so exclusive. At about $2000 a pup, they’re not likely to be found tied on many unfashionable street corners.

Tony John spends his working days in the company of his daughter’s Boston, Luka. His Prahran shop, Kronan Cycles, is full of beautiful, shiny things, but as many people stop to admire his furred friend as they do his fixed-gear bikes. “I had three young women drop in yesterday,” he said. “They said they didn’t want any bikes, but could they come in and play with the dog?”

Luka’s “mother” and John’s daughter, Ruth, says she is used to her little gremlin attracting a lot of attention.

Few walks through Fawkner Park pass without a gaggle of groupies descending.

She decided on a Boston after a great deal of research into the sort of dog best suited to apartment living. “I wanted a smaller dog but I didn’t want a yappy one. She was one of the only ones who could do the exercise but didn’t need exercise.”

Although Ruth made contact with local breeders, the thought of waiting years for the perfect pup ultimately drove her further afield.

After a few months of searching, she made contact with a breeder in Queensland who, a few phone calls later, was happy to fly Luka down to her new home.

Such shortcuts are the exception to the rule, however.

For most wannabe owners of either Bostons or French bulldogs, the long wait for an available dog is only the first step in a tortuous adoption process.

Growing demand and limited supply means breeders can be extremely choosy about who gets to take one of their babies home.

M

elbourne print broker Nick Agnew knows exactly how lucky he is to be the proud master of a 10-week-old Frenchie pup. Like Luka’s family, he was looking for a dog that would be as good company on a working day as on a quiet night in. He had heard stories of massive waiting lists and, on making contact with a breeder, found himself running the gauntlet of probing questions and justifying his suitability as aspiring owner.

he lock the dog outside? How much did he know about the breed? When he passed the initial examination, the breeder came to inspect his home. Only then did she give him the thumbs up.

Agnew’s breeder, Samantha Smith, says this is fairly typical behaviour when it comes to deciding on an owner. “I might be a little more over the top but a lot of them do (that sort of thing),” Smith says. “They need companionship and they’re not a dog you could throw out the back. They don’t do well in the cold and certainly don’t do well in the heat.”

If it all sounds more like adopting a child than buying a backyard pal, Smith says that’s how it feels for most breeders. Letting one go can be heartbreaking. She wouldn’t let any of her puppies leave the state, preferring they stay within the Melbourne area.

Adorability aside, the two breeds come with more than their fair share of pitfalls, several stark reasons for wannabe owners to choose their breeder with caution.

For starters, Frenchies and Bostons are brachycephalic or “short-snouted” breeds, prone to a range of health issues from breathing problems – both are prodigious snorers – to more complicated, costly perils such as cataracts and heart murmurs.

French bulldogs can also suffer from a form of doggy haemophilia and thyroid trouble. Smith’s first Frenchie had to be put down at 16 months.

breeder,” she advises. “See the mother if you can and make sure that her breathing is good. Make sure the breeders are happy to guarantee their puppies if something goes wrong.”

Diane Boyle also warns about unscrupulous types taking advantage of desperate dog hunters on the internet. “There are scams where people claiming to be breeders will send photos and take payment, but never send a dog,” she says. “They’re often selling the dogs at about $800, which is cheap for a Boston, and the money is going into an offshore account, never to be seen again.

I know of a few people who have been caught out.”

What with all these internet scams, health issues, tricky questions, a hefty price tag and long wait, finding a new best friend has never seemed so fraught. Boyle is sympathetic but encourages patience.

“They’re really worth the wait,” she says.

It would, of course, be wrong of me to abuse a professional chat for personal gain and ask for a helping hand in my own search. But that doesn’t entirely stop me. Does she have any final tips for this wannabe parent? As it is, Boyle is happy to help and tells me she might know of a litter coming up. I gush gratitude, edging to the furthest reaches of my chair. What can I do to make this happen, I ask. Send character references? A floorplan? Bribes?

ooking back, Michael Bascombe can see that it was a career-defining moment. He had been called out to examine a horse with a bad back.

She was in beautiful condition but would not allow him to touch her. When he first sensed the horse talking to him, he was shocked, an emotion that was quickly replaced by bewilderment and fear.

“I was hearing things and I didn’t know if it was real or not,” Bascombe says. “She told me to trust her and to just do as she told me.”

This was new territory for Bascombe, a trained scientist who had no desire to turn himself into a laughing stock. Even riskier, he did not want to be struck off by the Veterinary Registration Board – listening to horses talk had not exactly been part of the curriculum when he studied to be a vet.

“I decided to set aside my fears and to listen to the horse. She assured me that she was OK and that the problem lay with her owner. I turned to the woman and told her that I was a horse whisperer, and that her horse had sensed her stress and had been reacting to it. She accepted what I said and as she started to cry, I heard the horse take in a deep breath of relief.”

The experience had a profound effect on Bascombe and determined the course of his professional future.

For the first time in years, he felt a real sense of fulfilment in his life and in his work. “I have been described by others as a horse master because I know how they think and feel. I know who they are as spiritual beings. They became my educators; they showed me how to work.”

Despite encountering scepticism, the outlook for his work may be improving. A report released earlier this year by market research firm IBISWorld suggests that alternative pet medicine will go mainstream over the next five years. It was worth an estimated $14 million in the past financial year.

Bascombe explains that he is often the last refuge for owners whose animals are not responding to the more conventional treatments offered by vets. In some instances, they have spent thousands of dollars on those treatments but the problems have persisted.

Much can be blamed on anthropomorphism

L

(placing human values on animals). When Oprah Winfrey described her dogs as “little people with fur”, she might have been speaking for owners across the US. Australia may not be far behind. Our dogs are dressed up and doted on, their every whim indulged.

The pet industry here is, according to IBISWorld, worth $7.3 billion this financial year and will grow at a rate of 3.3 per cent to be worth $8.63 billion by 2014-15. Dog owners account for more than 59 per cent of that.

This has spawned what Bascombe says is a canine identity crisis. He believes many people treat their dogs like humans because they don’t understand how the animals think. “Part of what I do is to re-attach these dogs to a sense of self so they can become self-identified again. I reintroduce them to what it is like to be a dog.” ascombe came late to the world of animals. He was 27, married with two children, and working in public health when he decided to enroll as a veterinary student at Murdoch University. He had been tutoring a group of students in public health when a vet, impressed by the depth of his knowledge, suggested he consider a career as a vet.

He travelled in Australia and overseas for several years and survived by doing locums as a vet. He learnt about animal homeopathy and other natural therapies.

“I feel the animals,” he explains. “I feel the oneness with them. I talk to the animals and ask if they are happy.”

Bascombe put down roots in Blackwood, which is 90 kilometres north-west of Melbourne. He employs complementary therapies including homeopathy, Bowen technique for horses, flower essences, Reiki, animal communication and behaviour, as well as energy balance. The first consultation, which costs $220, usually takes an hour and forms the basis of treatment.

“I do a healing graph – I call it a truth graph,” he says.

“I need to know the core issue for the animal. I want to know what is going on with them and I need to know how much of their problems are due to the humans. I am almost a spokesman for the animals.” \

REVIEW\ GARDENING A pair of faded doors from a faraway land continue to collect life’s stories in a suburban Melbourne garden, writes JUDITH HUGHES. ear to where I live is a shop I must warn you about. Trust me when I say there is nothing in Cumquat Interiors that you need. Don’t go there. Although the owners, Val and Wendy, are terrific fun and have a good eye for intriguing objects d’art, I have assiduously avoided dropping in.

I nevertheless broke my self-imposed exile recently because I was curious to know whether customers ever bought items there to incorporate into their gardens.

That is how I found Tracey Steedman and her fabulous antique Chinese doors.

Like many clients of Wendy and Val, Tracey had wandered in for a browse, only to discover something she simply had to have. This was not a “should I or shouldn’t I” moment but rather a “now, how will I use them” one. It is one thing to fall in love with a large pair of archaic doors but quite another to find a way of accommodating them in an East Malvern backyard.

Tracey is an ideas person and is currently studying at the International School of Colour and Design, so it wasn’t long before she came up with a concept.

The back garden she has produced with husband Peter is Balinese in style, lush and verdant with a relaxed feel. Tracey had a builder create, on a bare exterior wall of the house, a platform and outdoor cupboard to which she attached her beautiful, decorative doors.

Besides adding something character-laden and unique to the yard, the family now has a conveniently placed storage depot for sports and gardening equipment (and the odd possum seeking shelter). You won’t find a better-looking shed anywhere.

The stories those weathered wooden doors could tell, with their intricately detailed steel plates and wonderfully heavy bolt and chain. Tracey loves the profusion of steel “bullets” which she feels contributes to the impression of strength and nobility projected by the heavy doors.

The Steedmans designed their own garden, keeping only a tree fern and a lemon tree from the original. They wanted it to be sustainable and easy to maintain, in keeping with their family’s relaxed lifestyle.

Hardy palms, ferns and exotic bird of paradise plants provide a lush tropical backdrop to the outdoor eating area. A pond with a water feature made from other finds and Egyptian papyrus bushes add a feeling of tranquility to the garden.

The deck that runs the length of the family room has happily provided the two young Steedman boys with a built-in cricket pitch. The Washington robusta palm at one end is a little tattered as it serves as the stumps for Hugo and Archie.

Tracey has achieved her goal of a practical garden that doubles as an outdoor room. Another of her lucky discoveries, a large rectangular wooden-framed mirror which once adorned the walls of a bank, is cleverly positioned behind the dining table to reflect and thereby bring all that greenery indoors.

All in all, my return to Cumquat Interiors proved a worthwhile exercise although I wish now that I’d asked Tracey for some ideas about what I can do with the quaint Vietnamese fishing line I walked out with that day. \

REVIEW\ GARDENING just weeks away, it’s time to think about establishing a herb WITH SPRING garden, either in pots or in a garden bed, preferably near the kitchen door.

A reader’s recent email, about moving into an apartment, highlighted the difficulty of maintaining a high-rise kitchen garden, but even a small balcony or windowsill can accommodate a few pots with culinary herbs as long as they get about five hours of sunlight a day. A north or north-east-facing balcony is ideal as it will receive the maximum amount of sun and herbs and veggies should thrive as long as they are sheltered.

Wind can be a real problem for plants, even in low-rise buildings, and if you are near the bay, you should factor in salt damage too. If your area is windy, it is better to retreat indoors and have a few pots in an area that receives lots of light during the day.

If you are planting in pots, be sure to have good drainage – pot feet are a must – and use the best potting mix available. Some potting mixes contain a slow-release fertiliser, otherwise you will have to feed your plants regularly with a liquid fertiliser.

The wonderful pots of mixed herbs in the various garden centres are tempting but they can be hard to maintain once you get them home. Basil and parsley need more water than rosemary and thyme, which hate being overwatered. Mint loves lots of water and will take over the whole pot if you let it. Either go for a couple of big pots with groups of herbs that have the same water requirements or plant individual pots of herbs.

DEVELOPING OUR CITY RO S E M A RY

Here are a few herbs that are easy to grow and will make all the difference to your cooking when freshly picked: ROSEMARY (Rosmarinus officinalis)

A native of the Mediterranean, rosemary requires good drainage and good air circulation and will tolerate full sun or part shade. Some varieties grow to 1.5 metres, so be sure to ask for a smaller variety when buying a plant. Use flowers and foliage to flavor roasted meats and vegetables.

THYME (Thymus vulgaris)

S A GE

Like rosemary, thyme is native to the Mediterranean and so enjoys lots of sunshine, hot, dry summers and good drainage. There are more than 350 different thymes, from lemon-scented to golden and variegated.

Thymus vulgaris is the common thyme and is used in a wide range of cuisines.

OREG A NO

Culinary sage belongs to the genus Salivia, a huge family of plants, many of which are planted for their brilliant flowers. Its slightly furry, grey leaves are popular as a meat and poultry seasoning. Sage is a sun-loving plant that should never be over-watered.

OREGANO (Origanum)

Best known as the pizza herb, oregano is used in Greek, Italian and Mexican cooking. Like other Mediterranean herbs, it likes full sun, good drainage and not too much water.

SWEET BASIL (Ocimum basilicum)

If you have room for just one pot of herbs, make it basil. It is a perfect match for tomatoes, makes the best pesto and will liven up a simple salad. Basil loves heat, so don’t plant it out until the temperatures are 20 degrees or more during the day. It can, however, be started indoors in a warm spot that gets a lot of light. Water regularly at the base – it does not like wet leaves. Pinch off the tops of shoots once the plant is about 15 centimetres tall to encourage it to bush.

It grows best in moist, well-drained soil and likes lots of sun. Parsley is ideal for garnishes and is used for flavouring in many cuisines.

Related to onions and garlic, chives are perfect for growing in a pot, thriving in moist, well-drained soil. The fine, long leaves will form a clump 20-30 centimetres tall and, if left to flower, will produce attractive purple flowers. Chives are used in a variety of dishes from potato salad to Asian stir fries. \ MARY RIEKERT mary@cyberella.com.au

DEVELOPING OUR CITIES\ HOTEL ART

The artful lobbyists hotel lobby ungarnished by artwork is a rare beast. Some hotels display paintings, others installations, but few take a commitment to art as seriously – or to similar levels – as the Sofitel Melbourne on Collins.

The hotel’s claim to fame is that it is the only hotel in Australia to employ an art consultant company on an ongoing basis. According to public relations manager Annie Dawson, this focus was adopted when Sofitel took over from the old Regent Hotel 14 years ago.

“The Sofitel brand wasn’t well known in Melbourne – it was a French brand – and this allowed us to have a point of difference,” she says.

The present art consultants are Lisa Warrener and Donald Williams, of Global Art Projects, who have been

overseeing the hotel’s artwork for the past four years.

According to Williams, the team receives substantial creative freedom, allowing it to push the boundaries of what visitors and guests expect from lobby art.

“We do have a lot of autonomy. (Hotel general manager) Clive Scott is very adventurous, he loves the arts, and he is very interested in everything from music to theatre,” he says.

This means that Sofitel plays host to a wide array of art – everything from indigenous sculpture to experimental film and photography. One of its present highlights is an installation by Kaori Kato, which takes the rigid geometric structures of origami and turns them into something organic, clinging to walls and flowing onto the floor.

Sofitel has three separate areas to display artwork, including the lobby gallery and the atrium on the 35th floor which mainly plays host to photography or works on paper.

Dawson explains that 30 of the 38 sponsorships she manages are related to performing or visual arts.

“When we sponsor a particular arts organisation or an exhibition, we make sure we’re always there.

I believe that if you’re going to get involved with a sponsorship, you have to be interested and get involved with the organisation.”

According to Williams, there are certain considerations that separate artwork in a hotel from other venues.

“We have to be mindful of the audience, and so does the artist,” Williams says. “It’s not a museum space, so the artist has to be very flexible and understanding, and I make that very clear early on. We don’t have climate control or people who look after the work all day.”

The fact that these are public spaces also necessitates a delicate balance – not showing works that are too aggressive or provocative, while displaying something striking and stimulating to get the attention of a person who is just walking by.

The hotel also has an Artist in Residence program, which involves an artist staying at the hotel – usually for three weeks – and then creating a work or an installation to be displayed at the hotel.

The artists are allowed access to any part of the hotel.

One of the most notable of these is Anne Zahalka, a photographer whose award-winning pictures captured the transient and often lonely aspects of living in a hotel.

There’s also New Zealand’s Andre Hemer, who earned the ire of Collins Plaza shopkeepers after appearing to cover the hotel’s windows with pink paint – they were in fact vinyl strips designed with the aid of a computer program to emulate brushstrokes.

“It looked as though someone had painted them on with a big paintbrush. It was in the middle of winter, and when the sun shone you had beautiful pink light coming through into the lobby,” Williams says.

The exhibitions change every three months, and the program is set up a year in advance. The hotel has up to 17 exhibitions a year, which Williams points out is more than the average gallery.

Many of the artists delight in chatting to the hotel staff, who are used to – and actively enjoy – the artistic goings-on at Sofitel. Still, a new exhibition is bound to merit a raised eyebrow or two.

“The staff wander by every couple of days and go ‘What are they doing now’,” Williams says, laughing. \ HARI RAJ hraj@theweeklyreview.com.au

PRICING GUIDE HOMES

ith the median price of Melbourne houses on the rise, the dream of owning a suburban house slips increasingly further away from the first-home buyer. Developer Flagship Property Holdings has cleverly created Sunday Apartments to appeal to Generation Y buyers who want to get a foot on the property ladder. From its website with Facebook-style snapshots that can be dragged around the screen, to the selection of the interior colour schemes, the $100 million, 15-storey project has attitude.

The 237 apartments are based on a compact pod concept – an ingeniously designed central area containing the kitchen, bathroom and all storage for the bedroom and living areas to maximise living space. Buyers can choose from three colour schemes: vivid glowing coal red, tree frog green and natural white. Impeccable joinery in these colours contrasts with exposed concrete ceilings and tiled floors in kitchens and bathrooms.

All one-bedroom apartments are the same size and all apartments have balconies. Two-bedroom apartments range in size; some have larger balconies that run across their full width, others boast two balconies with different aspects, including views of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Parliament House and the Domain.

Undoubtedly the north-facing, resort-style pool, spa and entertaining area, as well as the wide bridges between the two towers, are a significant point of difference for this development. They epitomise the developer’s focus on creating areas where the community can gather and interact rather than an impersonal apartment block where residents come and go with little or no contact with their neighbours.

The apartments are scheduled to be completed by mid-2012. \

EXPERT ADVICE \ THE WEEKLY REVIEW asked architect Nik Karalis, director at Woods Bagot, what people wanting to buy one-bedroom apartments were looking for.

His verdict: “They are seeking their first home. This is why we asked ourselves: ‘What can we offer that’s more interesting than the generic tissue-box design you find around Melbourne?’ And that’s where the ideas for the internal scheme of the building came from – giving people visual connectivity with their neighbours in contrast to many apartment-living situations we see currently. We believe this is increasingly how people will prefer to live and interrelate.�

DEVELOPING OUR CITIES\ RETAIL

Delivering the future Vision of the future: The $12.5-million development at Doncaster BMW will provide state-of-the-art facilities for staff and customers.

here is a lot of excitement being generated by the $12.5-million development at Doncaster BMW. Excitement is the value infused in everything it does at this award-winning dealership, and “Excite Your Senses” is its mantra.

Managing director Ingo Reisch is fired up by the three-phase project that will double its BMW showroom, deliver a state-of-the-art, 28-bay service centre and provide a refurbished home for the Mini range of cars.

“I want to create an environment that when customers walk in here, they will feel like they are in BMW World in Munich. BMW is a gigantic company with massive resources and is at the peak of innovation in design and engineering. Buying a BMW must be an excellent experience. Owning one is a lifestyle,” Reisch said.

The BMW lifestyle is very much on display at 812-814 Doncaster Road and as a customer, you can look forward to exclusive launch parties and VIP access to major Melbourne events.

With typical efficiency, Doncaster BMW is the builder for the project.“It’s cost effective and also gives us flexibility if we want to add features,” Reisch said. It also means that the project will be completed in 24 months.

Already, the service and car storage areas at the rear of the site are taking shape.

The new service department will have a floor area of 7000 square metres with 28 bays including diagnostic bays and two four-wheel-alignment bays. Doncaster BMW services about 50 cars a day and the new facilities

T

will enable it to service 100 a day, which will help address the huge shortage of BMW service facilities in Melbourne, according to Reisch.

Once that phase is complete, the BMW showroom will move into the adjoining 814 Doncaster Road, now used for predelivery car preparation and the Mini dealership. The existing showroom will be demolished and a double-storey showroom will be built.

There are 15 cars now on display in the BMW showroom – the new multilevel showroom will be home to more than 40 cars and will have large LCD panels playing continuous videos.

There will also be a car lift and, upstairs, a fully equipped kitchen, a café, a function area and a deck for customers and staff. Reisch is passionate about ensuring the staff also enjoy the new facilities.

“I want them to enjoy coming to work so that they have that extra smile on their faces,” he said.

With the new showroom complete, 814 Doncaster Road will get a total makeover to house the Mini range of cars, complete with a Mini built into the front façade – a far cry from the McDonald’s with a tram that used to occupy the site.

BMW Doncaster is one of the largest BMW dealerships in Australia. This development, begun in the dark days of the global financial crisis with the foresight that an economic upturn would eventuate, will usher in a new era for automobile retail. \ MARY RIEKERT mary@cyberella.com.au

REVIEW\ SUSTAINABLE ARCHITECTURE

GERRY McLOUGHLIN discovers an exciting new vision for a previously grungy area of South Yarra. orrest Hill. It’s a funny way to spell it, that’s if you’ve even heard of it. Well, you are going to hear a lot more about this area of South Yarra, because it’s probably one of the oldest and most radically changing and interesting parts of inner Melbourne.

Forrest Hill was a neglected, forgotten part of South Yarra – bounded by Chapel Street, Toorak Road, the rail line and the Yarra River – and formerly 1960s light-industrial warehouses and factories in the shadow of Melbourne High School.

The place had gone unnoticed until entrepreneurdeveloper Michael Yates bought the Burns, Philp site – home of the South Yarra yeast factory – six years ago, followed by the Tetley Tea site on Claremont Street, and transformed the sites into 14-storey, high-design, mixed-use buildings.

You can literally work and live there, with your social life enhanced by spending time at Salvatore Malatesta’s trendy Outpost, a provider of fine food at the base of the building.

That’s not all. George Colombaris, of MasterChef fame, has bought into the precinct and one of his award-winning efforts can be expected in the near future.

Yates was persuasive in conveying his vision to the City of Stonnington and anyone else who’d listen ... and many did.

A host of developers joined Yates in the exciting adventure, including Fridcorp with its extraordinary Lilli building (designed by Elenberg Fraser Architects) and described by project architect Callum Fraser as a marriage of science and expressionism.

Double bands encircling the building are balustrades and ventilation bands that manipulate airflow around the building to provide ongoing cooling; E-glazing delivers deep penetration of daylight into the apartments without the heat-up effect. The technology was developed in the Middle East.

With a range of environmental features, this building is the missing piece in the Forrest Hill precinct plan jigsaw, as it completes the laneway from Chapel Street to Yarra Street and the train station. All can be viewed on the model of the precinct in progress at the display suite on Claremont Street.

Paul Fridman, a director of Fridcorp, says: “Lilli’s personality reflects our passion for creating beautiful projects that combine intelligent design in prime locations, with individuality and style at an attainable

price point. The burgeoning Claremont Street precinct is the ideal location for our first mixed-use project, due to the area’s major transformation into what is now a great food, fashion and design precinct.”

What you see now is an area fast becoming the new urban heart of South Yarra, transformed in less than seven years into a wonder world of stylish, high-design buildings with interesting lanes and public spaces.

It’s gone from grunge to several high-rise buildings designed by Melbourne’s leading architectural firms that were almost competing on design excellence, cutting-edge sustainability thinking and building performance.

The precinct is usurping South Yarra’s showcase Toorak Road and Chapel Street as the latest great place not only to live and work but also to play.

WHAT YOU SEE NOW IS AN AREA THAT IS FAST BECOMING THE NEW URBAN HEART OF SOUTH YARRA.

To give you an idea of the magnitude of change in the area, the City of Stonnington has developed a plan of the Forrest Hill precinct featuring the locations of new buildings. We are talking $2.2 billion of development, largely through an informal forum of developers working with the council’s place manager and urban designers to get the best outcomes.

To know how this came about, you have to go to a project called Chapel Vision, an urban design process prepared and endorsed by the City of Stonnington in December 2007, which articulated a formal plan for the full extent of Chapel Street, one of Melbourne’s most loved streets.

Stonnington mayor Tim Smith says: “Chapel Vision envisages the activity centre as a vibrant and sustainable place enriched by its distinctive social and cultural diversity and the inclusion of creative enterprises, economic vitality, movement networks, liveability, individual neighbourhoods and high-quality, amenable public spaces.”

Stonnington carried out a process, led by award-winning architects and urban designers McGauran Giannini Soon and project-managed by Susan Wood’s planning consultancy, which envisioned the revival of neglected parts of Chapel Street and environs with dense housing and mixed uses bringing people back to the middle of the city.

There are new buildings that have already left a deep impression, including a series of art hotels, each named after, and inspired by, famous Australian artists. No two art series hotels are the same.

The Cullen (Commercial Road, Prahran, by Clements Jackson Burrow architects), The Olsen (Chapel Street, South Yarra, by Rothe Lowman Architects) and The Blackman (St Kilda Road, Melbourne) are the first

12 YA R R A S T R E E T

hotels under construction.

Others in the group include The Larwill (High Street, Prahran), The Knight (Glenferrie Road, Melbourne) and a sixth hotel to open on Daly Street, The Whiteley.

Key developers influential in this change also include Hamton, with its enormously successful Society complex on Bray Street, literally metres from Chapel Street. It is described as a vertical village with features such as a concierge, share cars, bikes, summer and winter lounges, a (for hire) dinner party room, a gym, laundry, rooftop cinema, rooftop garden and bars and restaurants on the ground floor – all with a six-star rating and at an affordable price.

Paul Hamiester, a director of Hamton, describes the complex as an experiment and an example of the philosophy he and his business partner, Steve Buxton, hold to – “pushing the envelope”.

The development was about exploring a model of housing that didn’t exist for a young demographic: providing affordable housing – in the heart of the urban centre – that was environmentally responsible but had every amenity.

The dwellings are small, ranging from 38 square metres to 128 square metres, but they still provide for just about all needs, albeit on a shared basis.

The young innovative company was proven right with the complete sale of all 11 floors and more than 240 apartments within two months of the start of construction.

Mayor Smith says: “We’re currently undertaking a housing capacity study. We’re meeting expectations for population growth through Chapel Vision and the Forrest Hill structure plan. However, the state government must improve public transport in the area for population growth to work in the long term.”

It’s a salutary reminder that public transport goes hand-in-hand with urban living. \ Gerry McLoughlin is an architect & urbanist gerrymcl@aapt.net.au

t is most certainly grand, but it is not some sterile castle. No, this house, in what is considered Hawthorn East’s best street, has soul. More than that, it is a real family home. The runners, scuffed but neatly stacked, and assorted footballs and basketballs are testament to that.

The red-brick house with its tucked-pointed façade was built about 1920. It retains the original verandah, three front rooms, including one upstairs, octagonal entry foyer and arts and crafts-style staircase with cut-out motifs in the balustrade. But the rest is new.

Ceilings are high; the back verandah with generous white timber arches echoes the front verandah. “New” floorboards throughout are recycled from a mill in Western Australia.

Renovated more than six years ago, the family has done nothing to the house since – yet it still looks a treat.

The layout is unusual. The two front rooms are like the wings of a butterfly off the entry foyer, which in turn has other rooms off it. This means that the house never actually appears as large as it is. And it certainly is large.

There are many elements to this property. Firstly, the orientation; with a north-facing back garden, it gets abundant natural light. Then there are its resort-style features. They include a 25-metre lap pool and floodlit tennis court – a great way to keep children at home with their friends – and, finally, the garden.

Designed by Paul Bangay, it is both formal and family friendly. Broad steps lead to the lawn and formal approach to the house. An avenue of manchurian pears lines the drive at the side of the property. Bare now, in a few weeks the trees will be in flower and then in

summer the branches meet in the centre to create a green arch. In the back garden the Bangay symmetry is on view again with more hedging, lawn and steps up to the tennis court. Even the lap pool has a green hedge as a backdrop.

At the front of the house, the two original rooms, both with bay windows and open fireplaces, overlook the front garden. One room is designed as a study, the other could be a formal dining room or a guest bedroom.

The staircase from the foyer leads to the first floor, but next to it a set of double doors opens into a spacious living room. The limestone fireplace, strapped ceilings and white-painted beams add interest.

to the timber deck. The wide deck, with a built-in fireplace that burns real wood, has a feel of the old deep south of America about it: a white-painted vaulted ceiling, ceiling fan overhead, cane settee and manicured lawn with tennis court and a lap pool along the boundary. Mint juleps, anyone?

A wall of bi-fold glass doors connects one end of the deck to the dining room to create one vast indoor/ outdoor entertainment area.

The kitchen, which extends to the dining room, looks like something from an English house and garden magazine. With a central black granite island bench, mocha cabinets rich in detail – such as turned columns and porcelain handles – it also has plenty of shelves and smaller drawers tucked away for cookery books and those items that end up in the bottom drawer. Top-of-the-range appliances include an English Falcon stove.

The kitchen makes up the centre of the informal living area. Off it on one side is the living room; on the other side is the family room, which has more french doors opening onto the deck and garden.

Upstairs, the retreat is another entertainment area, but also serves to separate the first floor into discrete zones. At the front, the original bedroom looks out through white plantation shutters over the park opposite the house. A door from the retreat leads to a hall with two identical bedrooms filled with northern light. The three bedrooms share a white marble bathroom with bath and shower. A separate powder room is next to it.

The parents’ domain includes a large marble en suite, a walk-in wardrobe that doubles as a dressing room and, of course, the bedroom, which also gets northern light. \ mharris@theweeklyreview.com.au

9 KILOMETRES EAST OF CBD Hawthorn East got on the map when the railway line expanded to the east in the 1880s. With the opening up of the land, mansions for the wealthy were built up the hill towards Barkers Road, notably in Harcourt Street. Carn Brae, in Harcourt Street, was once home to Alfred Nicholas, businessman and philanthropist and co-founder of the Aspro pharmaceutical company. Architect John Beswicke, who designed the Hawthorn Town Hall, also designed many homes in Harcourt Street.

The Auburn Shopping Village at the corner of Auburn and Burwood roads, is known for its historic three- storeyed Victorian shops with residences above. It is now home to trendy boutiques and lifestyle shops.

Murphy’s Grain Store, run by a third generation of the Murphy family, has occupied the red-brick building on the corner of Auburn and Burwood roads since 1906. It now specialises in pet food and pet accessories.

The Geebung Polo Club, an ornate Victorian building, has been serving drinks since 1888, when it was the Auburn Hotel. Other pubs include the Riversdale and the Tower Hotel.

Hawthorn East is 15 minutes by train to the city. It has great shopping, interesting housing (from mansions to single and double-fronted Victorian weatherboards and flats) and several parks.

appeal. Large rooms have sweeping views and a wide north-facing terrace extends across the front of the building on both levels to provide a great outdoor entertaining area as well as views across the river and park.

The ground floor has a vast living room opening to the terrace, an adjoining study, main bedroom with marble en suite and walk-in wardrobe and another bedroom with en suite bathroom.

On the lower level, two more bedrooms, a media room, bathroom and laundry take up half the floor. The dining room, kitchen and

family meals area and another bathroom make up the rest.

There are white marble benches and splashbacks in the kitchen and cream marble in the bathrooms.

Another feature is the size of the bathrooms and the generous storage such as a wall of shelves and cupboards in the living room and study and hydronic heating.

A self-contained unit near the St Georges Road entrance is part of the package.

But it is the river frontage that gives this property its landmark status. \ MARIA HARRIS

Built in 2006, this contemporary house, designed by architect Paul Oliver, ticks all the right boxes.

Inside, the quality is emphasised with timber floorboards, CaesarStone benchtops and stainless steel finishes. The front formal living and dining area has a gas fireplace. Across the wide hallway is a guest bedroom that has built-in-wardrobes and an en suite with dual access. The living area consists of an open kitchen, family room and meals area. The neutral kitchen has Miele appliances, white cabinetry, a wide breakfast bar and a glazed splashback. The back area faces the opulent poolside garden, which has been designed by Linton La Fonatine. Upstairs are four bedrooms, which all open to a large rumpus room or study. The main bedroom serves as a retreat and includes a private balcony, walk-in-wardrobe and spa-like en suite. The other three bedrooms all have built-in-wardrobes.\ FRANCESCA CARTER

Set in one of Canterbury’s finest streets, this 1930s house successfully blends period charm with contemporary comfort. A refined use of space and clean lines punctuate the façade, making this abode a classic design. Inside, the double-storey residence has an abundance of living areas. At the front are the formal living and dining rooms, which have retained all the classic features of the period – decorative ceiling roses, leadlight windows and elegant open fireplaces. Opposite is the master bedroom, which has the same large proportions and a double-sided walk-in wardrobe. It also has an marble en suite with a spa bath and twin vanities. The extension, which consists of a kitchen and living room, is lit by a series of french windows that overlook the landscaped garden. The kitchen has a wide breakfast bar, wooden cupboards and granite benchtops. Upstairs are three bedrooms, which have been built into the roofline. Each has a walk-in-wardrobe and access to the large rumpus room.

Close to Maling Road and Boroondara Park, this large family house exudes a relaxed atmosphere. \ FRANCESCA CARTER

3181 PRAHRAN There is no shortage of accommodation at this renovated freestanding Edwardian house in this highly sought-after Prahran street. In fact, it could have up to four bedrooms if needed.

With its broad frontage and handsome façade that includes a fretwork-trimmed verandah, this house has instant street appeal. The appeal continues once you enter the front door with its distinctive leadlight panel showing sprays of yellow wattle. Other winning attributes are the pressed-metal ceilings that extend from the hall to the bedrooms and main living room.

In the open-plan kitchen, Miele appliances are set beneath stone benchtops. An island bench offers excellent work space and the cappuccino-toned two-pac cabinets and drawers provide plenty of storage. Beyond the island bench is the meals area, with the family area at the other end of the room.

A staircase from the living room goes to the first-floor parents’ retreat that is made up of a large bedroom with private balcony, en suite with oversized shower and walk-in wardrobe. A big surprise is the mirrored door to a storage room that opens to the attic storage.

Back on the ground floor, bi-fold doors open from the family room to the paved courtyard with a water feature on the side wall.

A separate workshop or gym is another feature of the courtyard. \ MARIA HARRIS

Buyers waiting for spring stock to provide more choice markets that THE The Weekly Review covers have seen a significant shift in new stock levels over the past fortnight leading into the election. However, these levels are very different depending on the area in which you are looking to buy.

If you are looking for a home in Bayside (Brighton and surrounds), then until now you would have thought that very few buyers bid at auction any more. You would also have seen plenty of stock around – houses that have been on the market for a long time (especially ones more than $2 million). And with plenty of new homes coming on, you might be thinking that prices could well be weak in spring in Bayside. Why is that? The answer is supply.

With several unsolds from winter and strong levels of new stock arriving now, demand will need to be as strong as earlier in the year for prices to remain the same.

Buxton’s Halli Moore describes the Bayside market of more than $3 million as “a bit delicate. (There are) low stock levels, and buyers seem to be waiting for the influx of spring stock for more choice. Vendors seem to be waiting for the election, which is affecting stock levels.”

If you are a buyer in Boroondara, you are facing competition in the higher-end market with clearance rates above the rest of Melbourne – indeed, they were at more than 80 per cent on the Saturday before the election. More stock is coming on but not quite as much as earlier in the year.

So while you may be hoping for a buyers’ market in Boroondara this spring, the results right now are indicating that that’s not guaranteed.

Jellis Craig’s Richard Winneke says that while buyers are out there in Boroondara at the higher level, they are cautious. “The market at the lower level is very different; we’re not seeing a great amount coming on in the higher level – eight properties over $2 million in September for Jellis Craig, which is not huge, at least a third in terms of numbers down compared to last year.”

If you are a buyer in Port Phillip (Port

“ONCE THE ELECTION IS OUT OF THE WAY, HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE FULL-STEAM AHEAD.”

PASSED IN $1.45 MILLION 20 Westgarth Street, Malvern East

Melbourne to Elwood) you may well be thinking that the market is still hibernating and hasn’t started any sort of spring run – either in auction numbers or new stock.

However, if you are an experienced buyer you probably also realise that this is a very fluid market and smaller than Melbourne’s inner east. So stock could arrive and be sold quickly and therefore be missed by those buyers not paying attention.

According to Biggin & Scott’s David Lack, stock levels in Port Phillip are definitely up on last year. “We have had a very busy August in general, and should be busy during September,” he says.

Finally, if you are in Stonnington (Toorak

to Malvern East), then as a buyer it is probably wise to be circumspect trying to predict what the market will do this spring.

Some homes are selling that you probably didn’t think would and some aren’t that you might think should. Generally, however, there has not been a lot of winter activity.

You may be aware that this market is very price-sensitive but the spring stock surge has not arrived yet. Like all of us, you are not sure if and when it will.

BenMac’s Elliot Gill says of the Stonnington market: “Buyer-wise, the inquiries for ($3 million-plus properties) are strong but the well-qualified buyers aren’t really there at the moment. There is not a lot on the market above $3 million, but the good-quality properties that are well priced are well sought out. I think there will be a little bit more on the market as we head towards spring but I don’t think there will be a flood of $3 million properties.”

So in conclusion we, as buyers, need another few weeks to see exactly what stock levels we will be seeing this spring. Once the election is out of the way, hopefully it will be full-steam ahead.

BRIGHTON The elegance and individual styling of this house is consistent both inside and out. From the street, the façade is symmetrical – a design principle frequently employed by award-winning architect Nicholas Day. The interior is incredibly opulent with high ceilings, stone flooring and stylish fittings and

fixtures. The formal living room is the perfect space all year round. In winter it is comfortable and cosy with an open fireplace, soft beige carpet and curtains. In summer, the room serves as a lovely retreat – french windows and doors open to a solar-heated lap pool.

The open living and dining area has been tailored to perfection – every fitting and fixture is of the highest quality. The space connects to an elegant north-facing patio that is surrounded by

a landscaped garden. The kitchen is fitted with the latest European appliances and has dark wooden cabinetry that contrasts with the white marble benchtops. It also opens to a butler’s pantry, a large laundry and a two-car garage.

Upstairs are four well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms.

This house, on bluestone foundations, first appeared on title documents in the 1870s. It still bears the name Edith. The solid-brick house has a central arched entry hall with two bedrooms off it.

Original features such as the tesselated-tiled front verandah with cast-iron posts, ruby glass window panels and ceiling roses remain, as does a white marble mantelpiece in one bedroom. Renovated and updated, it now has a walk-in wardrobe to the main bedroom and a stylish white en suite that also doubles as the family bathroom. Internal bluestone steps, worn down over more than a century, add to the property’s character. The living room, with an open fireplace, opens into a meals area. Separating the meals area from the kitchen is an island bench with a stone top. At the end of the kitchen there is a good-sized walk-in pantry with a trapdoor that leads to the original bluestone cellar. There is a paved back courtyard garden with a gate to the right-of-way. \ MARIA HARRIS
