Virginia trioli \ Happiness is a killer outfit

L

ast week Niki Savva went there. The veteran political reporter turned adviser opened fire on the issue that virtually every woman I know mutters about under her breath, but not out loud for fear of universal condemnation. In her column for The Australian, Savva did it briskly and without sentiment, but she did it: she wrote that Julia Gillard is dressing badly, looking unfit and needs to smarten up.

If you missed it, here are the crucial bits:

She should sack her hairdresser (sorry, Tim) get a decent cut and colour, pack up all her clothes and send them to the Smith Family. There are plenty of stylists who can buy her smart clothes that fit her properly. She needs to hire a good one or get the name of the Governor-General’s dressmaker … How you look is as important as what you say and how you say it. And the rules apply equally to male and female politicians. A bit of exercise wouldn’t go astray either, a healthy body and a healthy mind and all that.

And you know what happened next. Commentators everywhere exploded with accusations of sexism and double-standards, and you might think that I would happen to agree with them. So, take a deep breath everyone – I’m talking to you, sisters – because I don’t.

First the reality check: Savva’s article touched only very briefly on the PM’s appearance, five short sentences out of what was about 1000 words. The headline screamed “Smarten up”, but as the rest of the highly critical article made clear, it was about Savva’s belief that Gillard had not defined or decided how to use her leadership. In short, the column was about how to cut it successfully as a PM. Now, some might want to quibble with what Savva might know about such success, as she was for so long an adviser to the spectacularly unsuccessful leadership aspirant, Peter Costello. But if Niki had the guts to go there, I’m going there too – and I say that analysis of a woman’s appearance ain’t always sexism. And sometimes, the truth hurts.

Now we have to distinguish between a fair criticism of a rather ordinary look and the gratuitous and often deeply nasty commentary that women in public office have to cop. I’ve noted before in this column my bewilderment at the sniping about Gillard’s childlessness, unmarried status and yes, even the size of her earlobes. That stuff, which I’m sure continues, is irrelevant to her ability and deeply sexist. (Just last week The Australian’s Samantha Maiden spent a fair bit of her column remarking on the shape of deputy Opposition Leader Julie Bishop’s calves; apparently they were too sculpted. No, you really can’t win.)

And no, men rarely have to cop that. But within the context of analysis about whether Gillard has got her act together – in every sense – an appraisal of her look is fair enough. Particularly when it’s a look that seems on the mind of virtually every working woman I know. The verdict? They cannot believe the way she is dressing.

Men say the same, too, and they are entitled to. And before you start screwing up this page and tossing it across the room at a perceived double-standard for men and women, remember: John Howard had to go through a makeover before he got his look right; Paul Keating knew precisely the power and authority of a killer imported suit; and men who are shambolic and badly dressed are remembered as such. Hello, Senator Ron Boswell.

Women cop enough crap in the working world to know that any loose end is fair game for those who want to take you down, so we do what we can to minimise the attacks. I would wish it to be different, but it isn’t yet. And when there’s such pleasure to be gained from slipping on a killer outfit, why not kill off the critics at the same time? \ Virginia Trioli is the presenter of ABC News Breakfast on ABC 2, 6-9am weekdays Follow her on Twitter @LaTrioli

As The Australian Ballet prepares for its 2011 season, sArAh MArinos goes behind the scenes to talk to members of the company about tutus, tic tacs and dancing with tea towels …

tHE ARtistic DiREctoR

E

“I was born in Perth and my earliest memories are dancing around the house with tea towels stuck in the waistband of my pants. I’d spin around so they stood out like a tutu! I was a ballet tragic from as far back as I can remember …

“I first went to ballet classes when I was seven. I badgered my parents for a year and they finally sent me along. It took mum and dad some time to find a school that would take on a boy. My first performance was a show for the parents at Perth Town Hall. I performed the solider dance – a solo – and I loved it. I trained at that school for 10 years until I went to The Australian Ballet School.

“I got into The Australian Ballet School initially when I was 14 but, very wisely, my parents said I had to finish school first. Besides, I was five feet one inch tall and weighed about 35 kilos – a weed. By the

ach year The Australian Ballet carries out more than 630 performances and educational events. Add international tours to that statistic and you begin to grasp some idea of the demands faced by each member of the dance company. From the prima ballerinas pirouetting on stage to the wardrobe assistants maintaining costumes to the set designers, choreographers, musical directors and people charged with the job of ensuring everything – and everyone – arrives in the right place at the right time on tour, keeping The Australian Ballet on track is no mean feat.

Since it was founded in 1962, the company has grown and evolved to become one of the world’s most respected. In 2008 The Australian Ballet toured to Paris, Manchester and London. More recently it travelled to Japan where audiences in Tokyo and Nagoya were thrilled by the traditional appeal and magic of Graeme Murphy’s Swan Lake and The Nutcracker – The Story of Clara.

As the company now prepares for next year, when it will present productions as diverse as Romeo and Juliet, Madame Butterfly and the latest evolution of the ultra-modern Bodytorque program, we talk to some of the people who live for dance.

David McAllister AM, 47, is The Australian Ballet’s artistic director. He joined The Australian Ballet School at 17 and The Australian Ballet two years later.

After rising through the ranks to become a principal dancer, he took on his present role in 2001. Next year will mark his 28th year with the company.

THE PRINCIPAL BALLERINA

“i was a ballet tragic ...”

Lucinda Dunn, 36, was born in Sydney and has been dancing since she was four. She joined The Australian Ballet in 1991 and was promoted to principal artist in 2002. She’s married to Danilo Radojevic, the associate artistic director of the company, and they have a two-year-old daughter, Claudia.

– DaviD Mcallister

“I like a bit of perfume and a Tic Tac just before I go on stage. I don’t have any fancy rituals but I still get nervous. And I think the older and more experienced I get, the more my nerves become apparent because I know what I can do and l know what the audience expects from me.

“I tell myself that I’ve rehearsed enough, my body is ready and I know what I am doing. But the nerves can come at any time – on the morning of a premiere or when I hear the orchestra start to tune up. Sometimes I get a rush just before the curtain goes up.

“I started tapping around the age of four. Mum was in the West End of London in musicals. She was a singer, dancer and entertainer so it’s kind of in the genes. My father was a set designer and stage manager and he and mum met in the theatre. They cruised to Australia working on a ship for a holiday and stayed.

“I started with tap and then ballet filtered in, but I never thought of ballet as a career until I was about 15 and won a scholarship in an international ballet competition, the Prix de Lausanne. I went to the Royal Ballet School in London.

“But after only a few months I fractured my spine. It was a stress fracture and I was in plaster from under my armpits to my hipbones for over three months.

“At that point I knew I wanted to be a ballerina.

“Fortunately, I was offered a second-year scholarship and I graduated from the Royal Ballet School and ended up with two contracts – for the Birmingham Royal Ballet and The Australian Ballet.

“I wanted to be close to my family and we have a great company here. Becoming a principal was always a dream but there have been periods when I have thought ‘do I still want to do this?’ But I thrive on the challenge of what I do. It’s the satisfaction of going on stage, doing my best each night, pushing my body and the maturity that comes with being an older-generation dancer.

“I have ballet class every morning bar Sunday and rehearsals from 12.30pm to 3pm. If I’m performing I then have a few hours’ break to do shopping, to eat, to have a lie down and to do things at home and to play with Claudia and then I’m back in the theatre at 5pm to do my hair and make-up. There is a warm-up before the show and the curtain finally comes down about 10 o’clock.

time I joined the school at 17 I’d filled out a bit.

“I moved to Melbourne and was homesick because we are a close family. But I had two of my happiest years at The Australian Ballet School. I found my place. I’d gone to a boys’ Catholic school in Perth and I was not popular there, being a ballet dancer. It was a difficult time but motivating. I had to make sure I was going to be successful or all that suffering would have added up to nothing! Ballet dancers were ridiculed then. But I knew ballet was my calling.

“My dream was to join The Australian Ballet and I was lucky to be offered a place after finishing at The Australian Ballet School. I was promoted every year

artistic director. The company took a huge leap of faith.

As one journalist wrote: ‘I hadn’t even run a chook raffle’. But I had a great passion for the organisation.

“It was a steep learning curve. Everything presented on stage is my responsibility – choosing the repertoire, choosing the dancers who will perform, making sure the scenery and costume and lighting and music are of the highest standard, commissioning new works, planning when we do things and where, the marketing and how the company looks. At some point that all comes across my desk.

“I want everyone to have a ballet experience at some point. When I stop being artistic director I don’t want to have a conversation with someone who says, ‘I hate ballet’ but who then says, ‘but actually, I’ve never seen ballet’. I want to transport people from everyday life and to give them an experience that’s extraordinary.”

(James Braund / Jim mcFarlane)

and in my mid-20s I questioned whether I should leave the company at some point and work overseas. Then I was promoted to principal and I stayed.

“Later, when I had a few years with rolling injuries, I became interested in the way the company runs. I took on different roles within the company and started an arts management course at Deakin University. I was 34 then and knew I couldn’t dance forever.

“My last performance on stage was in Giselle at the Sydney Opera House in 2001 and just after that I became

“i thrive on the challenge of what i Do.” – lucinDa Dunn

“I always wanted to be a mum but I always wanted to return to ballet, too. I didn’t perform for a year after Claudia was born but in 2009 I was back on stage. I worked really hard to get a ballet body back.

“I’ll enrol Claudia in ballet classes when she is old enough because I think it’s a great discipline. She knows mummy does ‘badday’ on ‘tippy toes’. She hasn’t seen a performance yet.

“I have no cut-off time as to when I want to finish my dancing career. I will stay as long as I look good on stage. I don’t want people thinking, ‘She should have left a few years ago!’”

THE PRINCIPAL ARTIST Adam Bull, 29, was born in Laverton and was encouraged to dance by a primary school teacher who persuaded his parents to enrol him in jazz and ballet classes. He joined The Australian Ballet School after completing year 9 and joined the company in 2002.

He was promoted to principal artist in 2008.

“I was very fortunate to find what I was meant to be doing with my life when I was so young. My primary school teacher, Janine Kipp, saw something in me and told my parents to take me to dance classes. We are still in touch and she comes and sees me dance. If it wasn’t for Janine I’m not sure what I’d be doing. She is one of those people you meet sometimes who has such an important influence on your life.

“My parents were happy for me to go to dance classes.

Dad worked for Boeing and mum is a barrister’s clerk and they knew nothing about ballet. But they have been taken on this journey with me and they were always encouraging. They are my biggest fans along with my older sister who is a nurse in London.

“I started with jazz for a couple of years and then took ballet and that was it. Ballet took over my life.

“My first ballet performance at eight was an end-of-year concert. I was in a leopard-print number doing a jazz routine. My parents still have the video.

“I was 10 when I first saw a live ballet. It was a free performance at the Myer Music Bowl and I still remember the beauty of it all, of the costumes and the sets. A year later I got a subscription to see The Australian Ballet and it became my sole aim to join The Australian Ballet and become a principal.

“I joined The Australian Ballet School in 1989 and it was a natural progression then to work towards joining the company. It was an intense three years.

“When I joined the company in 2002 I danced with Stephen Heathcote and was coached by him. After watching him performing for so long that was a dream come true. Every year or two I was promoted until I became principal in 2008. I’d dreamed about that since I was a little kid. We were at the State Theatre and after an opening night David McAllister walked on stage and announced I was becoming a principal with my colleague Danielle Rowe, who was also performing.

“My parents had said they couldn’t come, but they knew I was being promoted and were in the audience.

My partner was there, too, and there were a lot of tears.”

“My family had never seen me dance with the company until recently when we went on tour to my home town. I was so nervous because I knew my old ballet teacher would come to watch me, but I felt very proud that my parents could finally see me perform.”

William “Bill” Akers, an inaugural member of The Australian Ballet Company has died, aged 81.

Akers joined The Australian Ballet in 1962 as technical director and became part of the artistic team that shaped the company, working with Dame Peggy Van Praagh and her successors in his 32-year association with the company.

music schools wouldn’t accept women. In Australia people had been surprised to see a woman conductor but they still gave me the chance. In Austria women were supposed to stay at home!

“It became a challenge. I couldn’t get into the conducting course in Vienna but they had an orchestra that played for the conducting course. So I joined that and observed the classes. I played in orchestras that toured Europe and ended up in Amsterdam auditioning for Les Miserables. When they discovered their second conductor was a real dud I told the conductor I’d conducted musicals before – well, I had conducted a musical in Dandenong. I auditioned and got the job.

“That year there was a big conducting competition master class in the Netherlands, too, and I sent a tape of myself conducting Les Mis from the pit. I then did a live audition and was one of eight people, and the only woman, to be selected for the master class.

“The moment I stood in front of an orchestra I felt at home. But I was confronted by the gender issue again. My male colleagues on the course wouldn’t discuss the works with me and only spoke to ask me to pass them tea and coffee during class.

“As a result of that master class I was asked to take over a season for the Netherlands Dance Theatre. I’d never done ballet or dance before but said, ‘Yes, I can do that’. I then became chief conductor of the Royal Netherlands Ballet. It was a steep learning curve.

“In 2002 I conducted Spartacus with The Australian Ballet and joined the company the following year.” \

“I was three when my mum took me to a ballet studio and I watched a class – the tutus were so pretty. I told mum that I wanted to be a princess too. I went to ballet classes a couple of times each week then.

“By the time I was 10 I knew I wanted to be a ballerina, but I didn’t know then how hard it would be. When I was 13, I took part in a competition in Japan, watched everyone else and then realised how difficult it would be to become a ballerina. The dancers were so amazing and I didn’t think I was good enough.

“I was 14 when I won my first small competition in Nagoya. I practised every day for a year with my teacher to win, went to school from 8am until 4pm, went home and had dinner, went to ballet from 6.30pm until 8.30pm, rehearsed for another couple of hours and then went home

“Both my grandfathers were cellists – one was professional, Medrich Fraillon, and the other was an amateur cellist who had his own string quartet. At the age of six I was walked into a room in my paternal grandfather’s house and there were six violins laid out on a bed. I was asked which one I was going to learn to play.

“I also learned piano but at the age of 12 I wanted to give up violin because I wasn’t inspired. Then I changed teachers to a wonderful conductor and composer called Brian Buggy.

He was a bit of a dish, too, which helped.

“At 12, I played in an orchestra for the first time. It was my ‘ah ha’ moment. I was in the first violin section at the back and I’d never been terribly enamoured of the sounds I’d make on a violin. But there were all these other sounds.

I thought, ‘Who gets to play with all those colours? The conductor?’ I decided then I wanted to become a conductor.

“So in the early ’80s I went to Europe to study, but the big

“In 2006 I won second prize at the Japan Grand Prix, I was 15, and my prize was to go to the summer school at the Royal Ballet School in London. I went there for a month but I was homesick. But I learned so much – including that I felt my body was bad for ballet. Western people have tiny faces and long legs but I thought, ‘I am different to that. I don’t have long legs’.

“When I returned to Japan I told my teacher I didn’t feel my body was for ballet and that I should stop. But she told me about a famous Japanese ballerina, Miyako Yoshida, who was a principal in the Royal Ballet. I watched Miyako on DVD and continued with ballet.

parking officers are second only to the vicious team from Bayside City Council during the Australian Masters golf tournament.

As soon as you’re seated within the generous, high-ceilinged space and clutching a copy of the chic wine list and the seductive menu, the countdown begins. How much can you consume in, say, less than two hours?

The concept behind this upbeat inner-urban wine bar is disarmingly honest. The wines on the menu are for sale. If you enjoy one, or two, they would like you to buy them.

If only every bottleshop had such well-considered food. And it’s proffered at pub prices, or sometimes less.

The wine list works on the premise that spending less on simple food allows for greater wine indulgence, although many are decently priced. There are almost 30 by-the-glass choices (from sparkling to fortified) and 80 bottle choices, about half of them Australian. Plus a daunting array displayed in open black-wire racks around the room.

Head chef Tomas Stanislavski arrived at St Jude’s about a month ago. He helped his wife Leilani Wolfenden set up Next Door in Northcote earlier this year. Wolfenden had also worked at St Jude’s.

Stanislavski finished his apprenticeship at Ondine in 2001 and worked and travelled in Europe. He left restaurants to study nutrition at the former Australian College of Natural Medicine (now the Australasian College of Natural Therapies) and then spent some time “researching” organics and biodynamics by working for an organic grocer.

“I was going to the markets and seeing things in a different way,” he says. “It was an incredible experience and it completely changed my perspective.’’ That outlook is clear on the menu he has created at St Jude’s.

Produce is named, but brands aren’t blared across it. It’s carefully sourced by the chef, which he says is hard work but keeps meal prices down. And it’s used modestly and carefully, with an eye on the “higher purpose” (to sell vino).

Stanislavski recognises that his place of employment is “a wine bar first and a restaurant second”. And for him, creating dishes to complement wine “has made it easier, because my food is simple and the flavours aren’t complex”.

The “with a drink” dishes are based around ingredients that are good partners for wine. Think freshly cracked walnuts wrapped in pancetta with apple. This easy combination of flavours was fresh and light, although I did find the pancetta a little

insipid and would have preferred a stronger-flavoured, leaner meat.

Also on the list was a snapper-and-quinoa ball, baked with a tomato sauce. I’m a fan of grains – and Stanislavski uses them well. The organic, Tasmanian-grown quinoa was of excellent quality, but the dish, created to be served at room temperature, was too cold (it was a cool night) for its flavours, which included capers from the Pyrenees, to shine.

These are minor criticisms, though; what followed was better, such as a tiny dish of fried Glenloth chicken wings, treated to a zippy balance of spices and a finger-licking yoghurt-and-sesame dressing.

We eyed off a lamb ragu with pappardelle and chicory, but decided to order the simpler Plains Paddock lamb with tomato, peas and reisling. The large cutlets were flawless and their rich, wine-based sauce lifted the flavours agreeably; an assured crowd pleaser.

Our other main dish, mussels in Coldstream cider, was served in a dark, earthen bowl. A contrast with many of the other dishes served on antique bone-china plates. The pungent, steaming broth, enhanced by garlic and shallots, surrounded plump Tasmanian Spring Bay mussels, which were all the better for their exacting treatment.

Sides were necessary, but more than reasonably priced. A charry eggplant and broad bean dish (the broad beans weren’t podded, but they have more texture that way) on top of a bed of creamy goat’s curd was terrific.

The short dessert list is extended by daily specials.

One regular, a mascarpone cake with jelly and hazelnut sponge, is not yet a runaway seller, says Stanislavski.

It should be. It’s a classically good dish. The creamy cheese, textured cake base and the delicate jelly topping were a harmonious, indulgent combination.

And the finely tuned, attentive service ensured we had settled the bill and were out the door – with two minutes to spare. \

Knowledgeable, confident service, uncomplicated – but not dumbed-down – food, and a wine offering to make you reassess (or at least add to) your collection, are just some of the positives at St Jude’s. The atmosphere is industrious and loud, but corners suited to intimacy do exist. There’s entertainment in the open kitchen and enough wine to prevent obsessive collectors bragging about their own cellars.

The concrete floors and whitewashed walls inside this cavernous space should make it seem stark and clinical. But the semi-industrial look, enhanced by black-wire wine racks cleverly used to divide spaces, is softened by the vast collection of wine bottles and the use of straying plants that add a greenhouse effect. Padded stools wrap around the ultra-long bar, while pale-timber tables and neat taupe chairs fill the spaces between the wine racks. There’s an open kitchen window, and the boxed kitchen fridge in the centre of the room inspires curiosity.

TASTINGS\ DRINK THIS Foodfriendly

DUCKS IN A ROW VERMENTINO 2010 (Murray-Darling) $25; 11% ★★★★

Food match: Salt-cod croquettes

Ducks In a Row is a new venture for former Penfolds winemaker Glenn James and the grapes are from the oldest vermentino plantings in Australia. It’s light in colour and smells like peaches, lemons and pears, with a hint of rosewater. It has rich, refreshing lemon and lime flavours with minerality and a nice saltiness. This is crisp and dry, slightly chalky on the palate and finishes with more lemon flavour. While it doesn’t need to be accompanied by food to be enjoyable, this will go well with a range of summer dishes, from rich seafood platters to spicy Asian salads.

Lengthy finish

OLIVER’S TARANGA VINEYARDS FIANO 2010 (McLaren Vale) $24; 13% ★★★★

Food match: Spring-vegetable frittata

Fiano hails from the Campania region in southern Italy but has a bright future in Australia. The warm climate of McLaren Vale on the coast just south of Adelaide seems to suit the grape really well. Exotic aromas of pear, nectarine, red apple and tangerine lure you in before similar flavours lead in to a smooth texture and mouth-watering, yet balanced, acid. It also has a lengthy, refreshing ginger and nectarine finish. It’s easy drinking, yet a serious wine.

Easy drinking

Seductive aromas

PIZZINI ARNEIS 2010 (King Valley) $20; 13.5% ★★★★

Food match: Artichoke bruschetta

The current crop of Pizzini wines are really good drinking at fair prices. I had drunk half of the bottle before I realised I hadn’t started taking any notes – it’s dangerously easy drinking.

Floral aromas of apple, pear, lime, white blossom and minerals are mirrored on the generous palate. This, combined with juicy, refreshing acidity, a smooth mouthfeel and a lengthy, almost savoury finish, adds up to a pretty smart and food-friendly wine.

McIVOR ESTATE SANGIOVESE 2008 (Heathcote) $25; 13.9% ★★★★

Food match: Grilled rabbit

This is grown in the southern end of Heathcote on granitic soils. Quite a seductive-smelling wine this. Intense aromas of cherry, strawberry, savoury and red liquorice lead on to earthy flavours of cherry, tar and spice. It’s well balanced, with drying, grippy tannins and bright acid keeping the flavours in check.

This got better with a bit of time in the decanter. McIvor Estate also produces a nebbiolo that is worth looking out for.

5★ OUTSTANDING 4★ REALLY GOOD 3★ GOOD 2★ OK 1★ NOT WORTH IT

LOVE A BARGAIN? GRAN SASSO MONTEPULCIANO D’ABRUZZO 2009 (Abruzzo, Italy) $9.99; 13% ★★★ ½

Food match: Pizza

It’s hard to find a sub-$10 wine with character but this is loaded with it, which makes this one of the bargains of the year. It smells of blood plums (pips and all), cherries, leather and tobacco. It’s medium bodied, with nice flavours of cherries, plum, hazelnuts and dried herbs.

In the mouth there’s a fine tannic grip and juicy acid that lead to a nice herbal finish. december 1, 2010 \ The weekly review 13

f you’re not religious and you’re three generations here, there’s not much to look forward to in the modern hurly-burly, other than the occasional day off for a horse race and the Queen’s birthday.

best-known cafés.

Two of his employees, Adrian Spano and Nick Devereux (pictured) bought in. They’ve altered little, sticking to a formula that works, but they do have plans to renovate the kitchen and expand into the record store next door, starting in a few weeks.

“But really, we don’t want to change anything that makes the place what it is,” says Devereux. Spano says there’ll be more seating and an extended food menu with a “healthier” focus, “but nothing complicated”.

Both owners have hospitality backgrounds, but most of their coffee-making skill has been learnt at The Wall.

Consistency is the critical factor in the café’s success, they say.

“Eighty per cent of our customers are local,” says Devereux. “They like things as they are and to make major changes would be a huge risk.”

For them, this alternative home is welcoming and familiar, and warm, friendly service seems to be their

preserve. If you’re not a regular, the process can be a little confusing and instruction isn’t forthcoming. Is there table service? Do you order at the counter?

The coffee-pumping staff (they don’t BARISTA like the term barista) at Wall Two 80 are a “rotating bunch”, says Spano. There’s a team of six, three full-timers and three part-timers, who work hard to ensure the quality of the Genovese coffee (the Super Brazil blend with a combination of Arabica and Robusta beans) is consistent.

“We keep an eye on the grind and ensure we are all working with milk and pouring the same way,” says Devereux. “And we make sure we knock out any kinks.”

The coffee is dark, strong and not for the faint-hearted; it’s Italian influence is obvious.

There are plenty of other quality cafes in the area serving alternative “new wave” coffee, but regulars prefer The Wall’s style.

And this is a place that aims to please the locals. \

RevIew\ InteRvIew Golfer Jarrod Lyle travels the world doing what he loves. It might look glamorous, but after surviving leukaemia, the country boy from Shepparton has life in perspective. Peter WILMOth spoke to him before he teed off in last month’s australian Masters.

I

t’s two days before the JBWere Masters golf tournament and everyone seems to have come down with Tiger fever. There are pictures of Woods getting off planes. At dinners. Practising. Chatting to Gary Ablett. But there’s a rumour sweeping the Victoria Golf Club in Cheltenham that there are other golfers in the competition, and I’m sitting beside the practice green with one of them, Jarrod Lyle, from Shepparton, in north-eastern Victoria. At 29, he’s not a household name but, as a five-year veteran of the PGA tour, he’s doing very nicely under the radar.

Lyle is over here from his home in Orlando, Florida, thrilled to be competing in his home state. It’s also his annual opportunity to be around his friends and family.

And a chance to tell his story, which, to a large extent, is about how this sport – and the love and support of his close-knit family – gave him hope when, as a boy on the verge of becoming a man, he sometimes struggled to find any.

At 17, Lyle was a burly country kid throwing himself into life, doing everything – golf, cricket, kicking the footy – as long as it was outdoors. He did well at school but didn’t enjoy it. He was the kid watching the clock run down to 3.30pm. “Hell, yeah,” he says. “I’d be the one swinging on the back of my chair.” It was outside where he felt most alive.

One day, playing golf with some schoolmates, Jarrod’s nose began bleeding and wouldn’t stop. Two days later his nose was still leaking blood. Playing footy soon afterwards, he took an elbow in the chest and “half my chest was bruised”. Then he developed what he thought was flu. When he didn’t feel any better after two weeks he went to see his doctor for a blood test. “They told me I had cancer,” he says.

After the diagnosis of leukaemia, Lyle spent nine months at the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne.

It’s difficult to imagine the guts a teenager would have to summon to go through this: a routine of doctors and tests and fraught family visits and intensive care and the ever-present question of survival.

For a kid who lived for being outdoors, this was a special hell. I asked whether it was frightening. “It was frightening every day,” he says. “I never knew if I was going to come out of there or not. You see a lot of kids that go in there and never come out.”

During his time in hospital, Lyle developed a friendship with golfer Robert Allenby. David Rogers from Challenge, the non-profit group providing services and support for children affected by cancer, approached Allenby, who was a friend. “Dave said, ‘There’s a golfer in hospital, do you want to go and meet him?’,” Lyle says.

Allenby went to see Lyle who was spending a few days in intensive care. Lyle and Allenby got on well and have stayed in touch. “He’s someone I’ve always looked up to and will continue to look up to … all my life,” Lyle says.

“He was very supportive, and he still is.”

People from Challenge came in to see Jarrod and the other kids. “They do small things,” Lyle says. “Might give you movie tickets, to get your head away from hospital.” Every two years they take 10 kids to America and in 2001 Lyle says he was lucky enough to be chosen.

He caught up with Allenby over there.

“When I qualified for my first Australian Open, I played a practice round with him,” Lyle says. “When I played my first PGA event in Hawaii, I played 18 holes with Rob. He’s kind of been there at my biggest

Brave

moments as a golfer. We’ve kind of got this relationship now where we just hang shit on each other whenever we see each other.”

On December 18, 1999 – it’s a date he has no trouble remembering – Lyle left the RCH and went home to Shepparton. “It was a very slow recovery,” Lyle says. “It took me a long time to be able to walk 18 holes again.

I’d lost a lot of muscle. It was tough just to get back to playing golf again. Once I got going it was kind of nice to be back out there and not worrying about anything and (know) my health’s fine, or getting better. It was doing something I loved doing, being outside again, not stuck in a bed looking out a window.”

During those terrible early days, Lyle asked himself the question cancer patients cannot avoid: Why me?

“You know, I think I said it once and that was it,” he says. “When they first told me, I said it then, and then it was, you know what? I’ve got it. I’ve got to get over it.

That was my mentality. I’ve got to think positive and try and get out of here because I don’t want to have my last days stuck in bed.”

He says illness changed his outlook on life. “It’s not the best thing that could have happened to me, but I wouldn’t change it. It’s probably made me appreciate little things a lot more. I don’t complain about stuff any more. I’ve seen where I’ve come from and I’ve seen a lot of kids that haven’t come out of there. Or got out of there and had to go back in. So there’s always someone worse off than you. That’s the case in all aspects of life. Look at the soldiers in Afghanistan that don’t see their family for 12 months. There are homeless people around, hungry people. It doesn’t make sense for me to sit there and complain about how bad I played today at golf.”

Lyle is now an ambassador for Challenge, but he’s been reluctant to return as a celebrity and visit kids with cancer. “I’ve been once. For me it’s more a mental thing, walking in there. I don’t like walking in there. I don’t like the smell of hospitals. It’s just hard for me to walk through those doors now. I get really emotional about it.

I don’t like the whole atmosphere of it.”

H

is battle with cancer didn’t lead to any spiritual awakening. “I’ve never been a spiritual person.

I’ve never believed in God or anything like that.

For me, if there is a God, that’s fine, but until He comes and taps me on the shoulder and says, ‘Hi, I’m God’, I’m not going to believe in anything. That’s my philosophy in life. The way I see it, if there was a God there’d be no sickness; there’d be nothing bad in this world.”

Lyle says that during recovery from his illness he found reserves of strength he didn’t know he had. “The feeling was I didn’t want to die. There’s that survival instinct that everybody’s got in them. It would be the same if you were being chased by a tiger. All of a sudden you did that extra 10km/h of running speed you didn’t know you had. The fear of dying is something everybody’s got, but I managed to find the reason I didn’t want to die, and I guess golf is that.”

The illness was, of course, terrible for his parents.

“Parents never want to bury a son or daughter. To be honest I think it was harder on them than it was on me.”

Lyle’s interest in golf started at the age of seven when he would caddy for his father, an accountant at the local newspaper the Shepparton News. “You could say he’s my best friend,” Lyle says. “We do a lot together. He’s my

coach. He’s someone I’ve always looked up to. Once he started playing golf, I got interested. I’d go with him on Saturdays and caddy for him.

“My grandmother, his mother, used to sit on the eighth (hole) and the 15th and she’d sell beer to all the guys coming through. I’d get through eight holes, then sit with her for a little bit, then wait till dad came round at the 15th and I’d keep going.

“I’ve got pictures of me in a nappy swinging a golf club. It’s been a family thing for a long time. I guess growing up as an Aussie kid you tend to stray towards footy and cricket as well. I was never allowed to play footy. I had braces and mum and dad didn’t want to spend a heap of money fixing my teeth and then me play footy and get them kicked out. I played cricket in the morning and golf in the afternoon.”

Lyle turned pro in 2004 after a successful amateur career, which included representing Australia that year in the World Amateur Teams Championship (Eisenhower Trophy). “My amateur career had pretty much hit its peak,” he says. “I represented Australia, and for me I couldn’t go any higher than that.”

In 2005 he played on the Asian Tour and finished in the top two twice. He tied for third in the 2005

heart

Sometimes Lyle finds it hard to get up every week if he is physically and mentally getting tired. “It’s like, ‘Oh crap, I’ve got to go and play another round’.”

He enjoys the camaraderie of the tour. “You see the same guys staying in the same hotels. It’s easier to get along with everyone instead of trying to create enemies when you see them every week. It’s not worth it. Some guys will congratulate you for playing well, some guys won’t. That stuff sticks in my head. But the majority of the time, everybody’s friendly to each other.”

Lyle and his girlfriend Briony, who he’d met at school, moved to Orlando a year ago. It’s just a 2½-hour drive from his friend Robert Allenby. Why did he choose Orlando? “The weather. No state income tax. And I knew people there.”

When Lyle returns to Australia, he stays at Briony’s house in Shepparton. He co-owns a restaurant there called Spaghetti Hollow with his brother and sister.

Lyle jumps in to help when it’s needed. “I washed dishes on Saturday night.” Does he wait tables? “No, don’t know enough about it. That’s out of my jurisdiction, I keep telling them. They were stuck on Saturday night so I thought I’d go and give them a hand. That kind of brings you back to earth, too.” Do they treat him differently now he’s a golf star? “No, they treat me worse.

I tend to get all the crappy jobs.”

G

Heineken Classic, just missing the play-off with Craig Parry and Nick O’Hern. That year Lyle was presented with the Golf Digest rookie of the year award by Allenby.

In 2006 he finished ninth on the Australasian Tour in just his second season, recording three top-10 results.

In 2008 Lyle had his breakthrough win, blitzing the field at the Mexico Open to win by seven shots. “The first is always the hardest to get,” he says. “I went out there and shot eight under on the final day, a bogey-free eight under. It was something that was just meant to be.

“I holed a second shot on a par four and played the first nine holes in 29 shots, which is something that is pretty cool. I was going against another Australian guy, Greg Chalmers … I shot 29 for the last (nine), he shot 30. I was making birdies and so was he. He dropped off at the last nine and I kept going.”

His parents were at home following the tournament.

“I think they drunk Shepparton Golf Club out of Coronas that night,” he says.

Lyle is almost constantly on the road and misses his family. “As crazy as it sounds, it’s pretty tough. Being so close to my family, it’s hard to leave them every year. I’m OK ’til about October, and that’s when I start getting homesick. You spend so much time on the road,

different hotels, different airlines. You spend a lot of time trying to find your luggage if it gets lost. It’s not that five-star luxury everyone thinks it is. Tiger and those bigger guys have private jets, stuff like that, but the smaller fish like myself, we’ve got to fly commercial and try and find the cheapest thing possible.

“I pay for my own fares, book my own hotels, manage the schedule. My girlfriend does it all for me now. It’s easier doing it that way because (it means) we can fly when we want; we can spend that extra half-hour trying to find cheaper flights at better times. We try and book a month in advance and then when it gets closer we book another month. We are very organised people, me and my girlfriend. Sometimes it doesn’t work in your favour – if you miss a cut and you want to go home.

“I spend six days a week on a golf course and the other day sitting in a car for five or six hours or sitting at an airport for five or six hours. You are always on the go. And that week when you finally get to go home (to Orlando), I know it’s your home, but it still feels like a hotel because you’re only there for a week. So it’s almost like you get home, you get to wash your clothes in your own washing machine and shower and sit on your own toilet. (All that) doesn’t sound much but it kind of is.

They’re the things you miss. Your own pillow.”

olf has been great for him financially. Has money changed his outlook on life? “No. I’m a bit of a tight arse when it comes to that sort of stuff. If I want something, I’ve got no problem going to get it. I have a house in Orlando, and that’s it. I’ve got a car over there.”

Has he thought of joining Tiger Woods in buying a private jet? “No, mate. I could do it if I wanted to, but for me it’s not worth it. I don’t enjoy that kind of lifestyle.

I’ve come from not much … that kind of stuff is not my personality. I’d rather … look after my family as much as I can.” Treats? “As stupid as it sounds, might buy my girlfriend and me a first-class ticket somewhere. Or we might go away for a weekend. I just don’t enjoy flashing my money around.”

Lyle stays grounded, follows Melbourne in the AFL, loves to hang out with his mates when he can. Has the relationship with his friends changed since his success?

“No, it’s exactly the same. I see my mates probably once a year, at Christmas, and we have a few beers and it’s like nothing’s ever changed. That’s awesome. One of my best mates is about to have a baby in about three weeks so they had a baby shower/housewarming last weekend.

I was only there for a couple of hours, but I caught up with mates I hadn’t seen for two or three years.”

As a kid Lyle looked up to Greg Norman. “It’s nice to be able to see him at golf tournaments and say hello to him and he knows who I am. He’s a good guy. Allenby’s now trying to take over Norman’s mantle as Australia’s best golfer. We’ve got a lot of good guys, Geoff Ogilvy, Adam Scott and some younger boys coming up, so it’s nice to be on the same tour as all those boys and watch them do well and hopefully they can watch me do well.”

His health is good. “I haven’t seen my cancer doctor for three years now. Every year I go and see my GP in Shepparton and get blood tests for my own peace of mind. Haven’t had any problems, haven’t been sick. I’m doing all right.”

Lyle has shown great courage in his battle. He now has everything in front of him, including plans to start a family. He’s doing more than all right.\

REVIEW\ FASHION

THE ICONIC Le Louvre building on

Collins Street welcomed its new occupant a few weeks ago – the chic label from Amsterdam, Scotch & Soda.

Originally starting out as a men’s fashion label, the Dutch brand now extends its laid-back cool to a women’s wear line called Maison Scotch La Femme Selon Marie, which was launched earlier this year and has now made its Melbourne debut.

According to Peter McWhirter, the managing director of Scotch & Soda Australia, it was only a matter of time for the brand to find its way to the Paris end of Collins Street. It was during a trip to Melbourne that McWhirter stumbled across the former Le Louvre site and contacted its business owner, Georgina Weir. She gave him the real-estate agent’s details and a lease was signed for five years.

The site has now been transformed into a Scotch & Soda concept shop – brimming with pieces that effortlessly come together in what can only be described as shabby-chic.

It’s all about loose-fitting T-shirts, vintage wash denims, bohemian retro prints, lightweight tops and dresses. The clothes are keenly aimed at a 20 to

30-something market. They borrow influences from all over the world – think of London, Paris and New York – to create a selection of clothing that hints at French sophistication and a spirited Dutch personality of “anything goes”.

The label (which has been around since 1985) aligns itself with a trendy/youthful crowd – picture a university student who gets their look by combining a bit of mum and dad’s vintage gear with a hint of modern allure. The clothes appear effortlessly matched in the shop: there are worn-in jeans, T-shirts layered with fine scarves and tops matched with jackets (a la Kate Moss casual/smart look). You’ll find outfits that can be worn with heels or Converse Hi Tops, depending on your occasion.

McWhirter brought the international label to Australia several years ago, opening a shop in Brisbane.

Melbourne is now his second destination.

“I saw the label in a Scotch & Soda shop in Hong Kong and rang the company in Amsterdam when I got back home,” McWhirter says of becoming the first to launch the product in Australia.

“I flew to Amsterdam to have lunch with the owner and, after a productive two-hour lunch, he approved of me to open Scotch & Soda shops in Australia.”

To add to the kitsch personality of the concept shop, every purchase gets you a dandelion necklace and a small model of the Eiffel Tower.

“The women’s range is especially adaptable to Melbourne,” says McWhirter. He believes the label’s casual and sophisticated look and use of quality fabrics at affordable prices is a winning combination. The shop has been compared to American chain Abercrombie & Fitch – both sharing a love of printed Ts scribbled in French, and distressed clothing.

This summer the emphasis is on a collection that is all about delicate embroidery, handmade pieces from antique shops and a rustic new line of clothing.

Scotch & Soda fuses the old with the new and shows no reason to hide its love of antique charm. It seems many shops are doing the fusion thing (we even have General Pants and Sportsgirl, who mix vintage with new).

With shops around the world (there are reportedly 6000), it was only a matter of time before Scotch & Soda came to the fashion capital of Australia. We think it will fit in nicely. \

DHAV NAIDU helps you create the best smokey eyes

I

BOBBI BROWN has released a LIMITED-EDITION SMOKEY EYE PALETTE ($90) for the festive season. My advice is to snap it up as soon as you can. Each palette comes with four perfect colours to easily blend and create the most alluring smokey eyes ever.

RIMMEL LONDON COLOUR RUSH QUAD in Smokey Brun ($14.95) is one of the best brown palettes I have seen in a while and the price is just so perfect, so for a softer, more sensuous smokey-eye look, get this palette.

• Do not use precise strokes.

• Apply a primer to the eyelid. This helps shadow last longer and gives a smooth application, colours appear stronger;

falling shadow or apply your eye make-up first, before doing the rest of your face;

• Some top make-up artists also recommend sleeping with your eye liner to give the perfect nonchalant smokey eye.

GREAT COLOURS

GUERLAIN 6 COLOURS EYESHADOW COLLECTION ($130) is really a piece of exquisite jewellery – the packaging, design and colours are sublime.

Designed by renowned architect and designer India Mahdavi, the colours in this palette would entice anyone to pick up a brush. There are five palettes to choose from, and you’ll want every single one.

f there is one make-up look that could sum up alluring, it has to be the smokey eye. Women covet the look and men fall prey to a pair of beautifully darkened eyes.

There is something intrinsic about the way in which women and beautifully darkened smokey eyes go together. It’s the look that combines sexiness, power, mystery and fun. And when the eyes have it, men, and even some women, go weak at the knees.

For many women it’s not an easy look to achieve. I don’t know if this is because of the use of dark colours, the power of transformation involved or media hype of the degrees of difficulty involved.

Yes, applying dark colours can be challenging at times, but it’s easy to master. Keep in mind it’s “just make-up”, and if it doesn’t look right, wipe it off and start again. \

• Smudge eye liner with a cotton bud or your fingers; • Apply some translucent powder around the base of lower lashes to catch any

LOOK OUT FOR THIS

GIVENCHY LE PRISME YEUX MONO SHOWY BLACK NO1 ($49) is the perfect shadow for the smokey look. It has all the textures, intensities and gradations necessary. This is a must-have item for your make-up bag.

Smoked out PRO TIPS

REVIEW\ BEAUTY SCRIBE

Two of the best shadow primers on the market right now are BENEFIT’S STAY PUT ($45), great for all colours, and POP BEAUTY SMOKEY EYE MAGNET PRIMER ($34.95). You need this if you want the sexiest, darkest smokey eyes.

This is the easiest way to perfect smokey eyes in three simple steps. Always apply make-up with a light hand: 1. Start with a gradation of colours from the same family. Apply the lightest shade from lash line to just below the eyebrows – all over the lid; 2. Apply the middle shade from lash line to the socket line, filling the whole area; and 3. The final and darkest shade should be applied all around the lash line – top and bottom.

Perfect the look with a liner and several coats of mascara.

If you want the perfect eye liner, MAYBELLINE’S EYE STUDIO DRAMA EYE LINER ($16.95) is somewhere in between a pencil and a liquid liner. The texture makes it one of the easiest liners to control. The eggplant colour is a favourite.

Tv LeNNON NAKeD \ ABC 1, SUNDAy DeCemBer 5, 8.30Pm One of the great rock stars is laid bare in this new BBC docudrama, but there’s sadly little to see.

Christopher Eccleston is a fine, passionate actor (even when briefly holding the keys to the Tardis as Dr Who), but he struggles to give life to a remarkably dry production.

For too much of the film, his John Lennon is cold and uncomfortably mannered, a lost man trapped behind wit and cynical intellect, looking for something or someone to believe in. It’s only with the arrival of Yoko and the death of the Beatles that we finally get to see his beating heart, but it’s a long wait for a few beautifully raw moments.

pop that proved so successful for Phoenix 10 years ago.

There are unavoidable comparisons to be made with Luke Steele’s Empire of the Sun, but the overall vibe is far more laid-back. At times the duo sound oddly like Simon and Garfunkel, if they had picked up a synthesiser.

It’s not an important record, by any means. It isn’t breaking new ground or trying to impress, but it is determined to entertain.

If you can cope with a dash of electro-tinged yacht rock and some truly appalling puns (stand up, Jona Vark!), then you’ll find Gilgamesh the perfect soundtrack for a summer beer or two.

SPeCIAL

mUSIC GyPSy AND THe CAT \ GILGAmeSH (SONy) Here’s a confession (if hardly a shameful one): I really can’t stand the Bee Gees. In fact, I once made a career-endangering blunder by sniggering when someone told me they were his favourite band.

In my defence, I assumed he was joking.

Still, Melbourne electronic duo Gypsy and the Cat seem happy to risk such derision from disco-hating punks such as me. Tracks such as Human Desire could easily slot into a “best of” from those bearded blokes in their tight pants, give or take the odd modern twist. And, yet, strangely, the result is oddly irresistible, mining the same vein of slick, shameless and utterly uncool

The film follows Lennon as he casts aside his family, the Beatles and finally his homeland, in pursuit of his slippery desires. Unlike other takes on the tale, Yoko Ono isn’t painted as the destroyer of the Fab Four but instead is barely painted at all. Her role is sketched as little more than a prop with which Lennon can wrench himself free. Of course, as the world finally starts to make sense to Lennon, it quickly turns against him as our hero and his new muse are subjected to hate mail, racial taunts and drug busts.

As a psychological exposé of a complicated artist, it’s quite an achievement. As a piece of drama, it too often lacks the energy and fury of its subject – who would have turned 70 this year.

There’s little of the traditional Christmas cheer in this Finnish export, which sees a crazed billionaire go drilling for the final resting place of Santa Claus. Yes, you did read that correctly.

Gleefully ridiculous from the start, this is nonetheless a dark and gruesome spin on the Christmas legend, dismissing the “Coca-Cola” Santa as a hoax and revealing his true nature as a child-boiling demon, long since trapped in ice beneath a rocky mountain.

Pietari has been reading up on the man in red and is ready to do whatever it takes to save Christmas.

More in the European tradition of winter horror than Hollywood’s season of saccharine, this is a clever, strange and largely entertaining film. That said, it’s hard to imagine exactly who its audience will be. Seemingly intended as a kids’ film, there is a little too much swearing, gore and far too many old men’s penises for most parents to happily pack junior off to the pictures. Which isn’t to say junior – or his older brother – won’t love it.

After Lily Allen’s alleged retirement, there’s a definite gap in the market for a cheeky Cockney songstress and, on face value, Eliza Doolittle is custom-built for the vacancy. Her tunes have a similar summery jauntiness and the same tension between naïve childishness and a knowing sexuality.

To this end, cutesy track Rollerblades sits alongside Skinny Genes, the latter begging some narrow-hipped lad to get his Levis off.

But, even if Doolittle has been designed by some commercially minded committee, the result is undeniably impressive.

Her album – co-written with a dozen faceless writers – should have been an uneven mess, but somehow emerged this

year as a quiet pop triumph. The songs are informed by classic girly pop of the 1960s and ’70s, and flavoured with a typically modernist, magpie approach to genre and samples. It’s all disposable, yes, but thoroughly listenable.

Live, Doolittle eschews Allen’s angsty energy in favour of a gentler approach, which could explain the more gentrified, less teen-friendly choice of venue. Despite the marketing, she seems keen to prove herself less of a girly popster and more a genuine musical talent. Incredibly, she might just pull it off. \

WIN

Based in Sydney, Events O’Neill started 10 years ago when O’Neill was invited to a track day organised

by Sydney stockbroker Peter Burrows, who would underwrite the event as client entertainment. O’Neill took over, and now the business has grown to running more than 50 events a year including private drive days, car launches and driver training for brands such as Aston Martin, Ferrari, Bentley, Maserati and Lexus.

The drive days are by invitation only.

“We cater for a certain clientele who like certain cars and are in a particular socio-economic demographic,” said O’Neill.

“When you are driving your $500,000 Ferrari around a track, you want to be with guys who have spent a similar amount on their cars.

“Most importantly though, it’s about the people the day attracts. There is surprisingly little ego as, no matter what you drive, there are generally two or three others there with a similar car. There is a really relaxed, friendly atmosphere in pit lane.”

O’Neill is quick to point out that this is not all about speed.

“We provide owners with the opportunity to get some time with professional instructors to improve their driving ability,” he said. “It is about coaching, learning and having a non-competitive fun day at the track.

“I didn’t come from a competitive racing background; I started this business as a driving enthusiast. Our days are not about speed and racing; they are about bringing motoring enjoyment to our driving enthusiast clients.”

W

hile Melbourne anticipates a long, hot summer and the Boxing Day Test, developer Mirvac continues to hit sixes in Melbourne’s inner-city suburbs following the success of its Beacon Cove development in Port Melbourne and the River precinct at Yarra’s Edge at Docklands. The latter achieved a record sale of $6.35 million for a luxury, riverfront house with a private berth on the Yarra.

Construction of the $90 million Laureate Albert Park development is well under way and more than 75 per cent of the exclusive townhouses are now sold – from a total of 46 townhouses, just 10 townhouses are available from $1.795 million. The high-end bayside development will sprawl across the 8144-square metre site of the former Albert Park Gasworks, for which Mirvac reportedly paid $18.35 million in June 2007 after a failed attempt by the previous owner, Primelife, to develop a luxury retirement village on the site.

Mirvac is offering a modern twist on the Victorian terrace typical of the area, with the design drawing inspiration from the architectural heritage of the neighbourhood. Rising over three or four levels, the townhouses have a mix of private courtyards, rooftop terraces and large outdoor decks that integrate seamlessly with the spacious open-plan, first-floor living areas.

Ceilings are 2.5 metres-plus, creating a sense of space that combines with minimalist, clean, modern interiors to create an understated, quiet elegance.

Luxurious finishes and European appliances make these homes ideal for entertaining. All townhouses have intercom security, lock-up automatic garages with rear access and fibre-optic internet connections. Some will have city views while others will look out over Port Phillip Bay. The development is set within beautifully landscaped gardens and walkways designed by award-winning landscape architect Rick Eckersley.

Eckersley’s design provides a point of differentiation for the development, ensuring that the high standards of luxury and distinction found in the architectural and interior design are maintained in the common outdoor areas and lanes.

According to Mirvac, it is anticipated that the development will be completed by the third quarter of next year. \

Location

In one of Melbourne’s most prestigious suburbs, Laureate Albert Park offers the ultimate luxury inner-city lifestyle. Throw in one of the best Port Phillip Bay beaches, 225 hectares of beautiful parkland including a picturesque lake, a world-class sports and aquatic centre (and a motor race that polarises Melburnians), some of the city’s best restaurants and cafés and you begin to understand why Melbourne has been dubbed the most liveable city in the world. Of course, they were thinking of Albert Park in particular.

expert aDvice\ Landscape designer rick eckersley said the Mirvac Laureate garden was designed to be a green oasis at the heart of the development. “canopies of tall trees reach skywards to create the upper roof of the garden. beneath them, a cantilevered arbour provides a verandah of green foliage that runs the length of the internal facades. along the walls, a series of frames allow twining plants to drape the walls in greenery. instantly, people are at ease within a garden space and the dividing lines between building and quadrangle are blurred.

“Plants have been carefully selected to work with our environment. trees and climbers deflect the summer heat and then shed their leaves in a glowing autumn display to let the sun through in Melbourne’s winter. it is nature’s own way of thermally insulating a building. “the organic, flowing patterns of the pavements create a strong impact. circular islands of plantings within the pavements suggest a sense of casualness and freedom to the design. the waved patterns ebb and flow through the central plaza to lap at the base of the walls of the homes. “the garden at Laureate is about more than just facility and amenity; it is about inspiring mood and atmosphere,” eckersley said. december 1, 2010 \ The weekly review 27

DeveLOpINg Our CITY \ CbD

Secure entrance Exclusive residents-only gym 25-metre indoor pool Pool deck overlooking Spencer Street Ground-level retail precinct with boutiques and cafés New laneway linking Lonsdale and Spencer streets More than 4000 square metres of podium rooftop gardens with parklands, trees, vegetable gardens, recreational areas, composting centres, barbecue areas and children’s play areas Basement and above-ground car parking

ho could have foreseen years ago, when journalists from The Age joked about being relegated to the “arse-end” of the city as opposed to their News Limited counterparts who were near the Paris end of Collins Street, that the area was set to become a vibrant residential precinct?

Earlier this year Central Equity was given the green light to build 842 apartments contained in two towers on the site of the former Age building, the squat, brown structure fondly referred to by journalists as the Spencer Street toilet block.

And now the Hong Kong-based Far East Consortium is selling the first stage (off the plan) of Upper West Side, its massive residential complex on the former site of the Lonsdale Street power station.

Far East is planning a new village within the CBD: 2500 apartments, 4000 square metres of podium-level parkland, two new laneways, boutique retail outlets and a group of four towers designed as a collective work of art. Bordered by Spencer, Lonsdale and Little Bourke streets, Upper West Side will form a residential and retail link between the CBD and the growing Docklands precinct.

The first stage of the release, the 45-level Upper West Tower, is on the south-western corner of the development on Spencer Street.

Offering one-bedroom, two-bedroom and studio apartments, the tower features an exterior graphic that is set to become an iconic addition to the Spencer Street precinct.

With the opportunity to showcase its design potential on such a large block of prime city real estate, Cottee Parker Architects has approached the design as if creating a multifaceted sculpture.

“No other development in this part of Melbourne has had this scale of area to influence, which has allowed us to head back in the direction of the vertical city. It has given us a unique opportunity to design a development

with four towers as a collective,” says lead architect Shane Williams.

“We have approached the form-making of the design as a sculptor might. We were originally inspired by Giacometti’s group figure sculptures, the slenderness of the individual figures and the wonderful sense of depth established between what are essentially flat, almost two-dimensional figures.

“While the individual towers will retain distinctive elements through the use of different colours and subtleties of surface texture and design, they will complement each other and tell a story as a whole.”

The four towers will be between 31 and 49 storeys and will feature glazed skins designed to change appearance as the light changes throughout the day. Recessed, offset balconies, some projecting beyond the surface of the building, will add to their texture.

The slim towers will be highlighted by the podium-level parkland area that will cover the whole site, rising and falling between five and seven floors above street level. Designed by landscape design consultancy Tract, it will provide a distinctive, solid base to the apartment blocks. A 4000-square metre area will wind around the four towers and will be one of the largest green spaces in the city.

Upper West Side will also play on Melbourne’s laneway culture, extending it to the Spencer Street end.

Rose Alley, currently closed at one end, will be opened to join Little Bourke and Lonsdale streets.

A second laneway and covered arcade will cut underneath Tower One from Spencer Street to Lonsdale Street, with boutique retail and dining as opposed to the mall-style shopping of nearby Brand Smart.

The development’s location on the edge of the city means spectacular views are provided across the city and the bay. \

LOCATION

Upper West Side is in a prime position in the CBD, with instant access to the best that Melbourne offers. Retail, entertainment, some of Australia’s best restaurants and sporting facilities are all close, by while a multitude of transport options are accessible, including Melbourne’s largest transport hub, Southern Cross Station, opposite the development. Far East Consortium director Craig Williams says: “The vision behind Upper West Side is to offer people the opportunity to maintain their connection to the city – whether it be for work, enjoyment or education – by moving up, not out. With significant redevelopment happening in the immediate surrounds, this is a great opportunity for investors and owner-occupiers.” december 1, 2010 \ The weekly review 29

Famous and funky, this is one of Melbourne’s premier postcodes.

It is close to the city, has great boutique shopping, excellent transport and top restaurants.

South Yarra is also known for gracious Victorian terraces, mansions, flats and apartments.

The precinct west of Punt Road is known as South Yarra, City of Melbourne, because it forms part of the City of Melbourne and pays City of Melbourne rates. The rest of the suburb is part of the City of Stonnington.

The Domain Road shopping strip includes the Botanical Hotel, now being refurbished.

On the corner of Domain Road and Park Street are the Robin Boyd-designed Park Towers, one of Melbourne’s first high-rise apartment blocks. The Royal Botanic Gardens and the Tan track are are the suburb’s outdoor pleasure area.

South Yarra’s restaurants and cafés are legendary and range from the cheap and cheerful to the elegant and expensive.

Schools include Melbourne Boys’ Grammar, Melbourne Girls’ Grammar, Christ Church Grammar and Melbourne Boys’ High School.

A BIT OF

LONDON PRIDE MARIA HARRIS discovers Park Terrace, a typical 19th-century South Yarra house that has been renovated with contemporary flair and more than a touch of the best of British.

I

t’s not often that you enter a Melbourne house and you think you might have lobbed in the wrong city. Like London, perhaps.

Because that’s the feel and the atmosphere of this Victorian terrace in Park Street, South Yarra.

This one, named Park Terrace, combines the history of a typical 19th-century terrace (including rear stairs for the maid) with a renovation that is functional, contemporary, but not afraid to add a dash of casual English style.

So in the front room, known as mum and dad’s room, there are soft blue walls, white ceiling and cornices, a crystal chandelier, a white-marble mantelpiece and the most luxurious silk curtains by noted English fabric designer Jane Churchill.

The dining room is lit by another chandelier as well as double glass doors that overlook the sideway – in this case, a pebbled garden with a soothing, bubbling water feature. This garden complements the front garden, designed by prize-winning designer Jack Merlo.

The dining room is cosy without being small and does justice to the antique oak refectory dining table. Jane Churchill curtains in the famous Indian summer print add a touch of glamour at the glass doors.

The owners are inveterate renovators and decorators.

This is their 13th project, so they have got the job down to a fine art.

Working within the framework of the house, they knocked out little rooms at the rear and created a sleek, stylish kitchen and open-plan living area that meets the needs of the modern Australian family. But they were also able to include a powder room off the hall on the way to the kitchen and got around the traditional dark interiors of a terrace by letting light in through plenty of skylights. At every opportunity a window or doors let in the natural light.

This family loves to cook and the kitchen is made for serious cooking.There are honed granite benchtops including an island bench, and a Paul Bocuse double oven and cooktop, a large pantry, big double sinks and a white-tiled splashback. Glass-fronted cupboards above the bench offer excellent storage.The kitchen floors, like those in most of the living areas, are dark-stained floorboards. The kitchen opens to the family room, which has ceiling skylights and double doors opening to the paved side garden.

Two sets of white timber-framed glass doors open to the paved rear courtyard, which has built-in storage and seating on both sides as well as a built-in barbecue. A roller door on the back fence opens to the lane at the rear

POPULAR PARK People visiting Park Terrace, the renovated double-storey terrace house in Park Street, South Yarra, were bowled over by the high quality of the renovation, said agent Rob Vickers-Willis. Most people appreciated the fact that all the work had been done and they could move in straight away, he said. Families with children at Melbourne Girls’ Grammar and Melbourne Boys’ Grammar also loved its proximity to both schools. Others among those inspecting the house were looking at Park Terrace as a potential investment property.

doors opening to the front verandah. From here the city skyline appears very close and the owners say it is a great place to view the New Year’s Eve fireworks.

Across the hall, the second and third bedrooms also have dark-stained floorboards, with the second bedroom having an open fireplace. A completely new black-and-white marble bathroom with white-tiled walls serves the three upstairs bedrooms.

Gardens front and back are very low maintenance, but when the Botanic Gardens are less than a minute’s walk away, you can get the beauty and the buzz of a garden without all the hard work, another feature that makes Park Terrace all the more appealing. \

The maid might have left this house more than 100 years ago, but her stairs have been retrained. Now carpeted in strong sisal carpet, they lead to a stunning main bedroom suite, which is painted pale blue with white trim and lit by overhead skylight and a horizontal window. Double doors open to the marble bathroom with travertine walls and floor and a frameless glass double shower.

The main staircase at the front of the house leads up to the traditional split landing, with rooms going left and right. What would once have been the main bedroom at the front of the house is still a beautiful room with open fireplace, dark-stained timber floorboards and

Sitting on more than 2000 square metres of prime land within the Balwyn High School zone, this suburban palace is spectacular in every aspect. The property’s list of features is seemingly endless, including two massive viewing terraces, a games room, home cinema, pool, spa, six car undercover parking, cellar and expansive lawns.

Then there are the five luxurious bedrooms plus plenty of living/sitting rooms and a state-of-the-art kitchen. The rear of the house has floor-to-ceiling windows, which allow generous amounts of natural light that glistens off the glorious timber floorboards.

A grand spiral staircase leads up to the bedroom level and has a picture-postcard view of Melbourne rooftops set in front of the brilliant city buildings.

The main bedroom has an extremely

large walk-in wardrobe, a dual en suite and a private balcony.

The extensive lawns and well-proportioned terraces provide a superb venue for large-scale entertaining. An enviable quality of this property is its ability to provide family members with privacy, yet a communal feeling is maintained through the central kitchen and family zone.

Three levels of luxury and style, in a prestigious section of Melbourne, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. \ TOM HYWOOD

Downstairs, tall ceilings create a sense of openness, which is reinforced by the back living room, where a wall of windows looks out onto the pool. The contemporary kitchen is practical and has CaesarStone benchtops, European appliances and plenty of cupboard space.

This double-storey Edwardian has been tastefully renovated to create an abundance of indoor and outdoor living spaces. With four living rooms, five bedrooms, a study and large gym, the house has plenty of areas in which to relax or entertain. Even outside, there are two main dining areas that both have access to the tastefully designed family room. Bi-folding doors provide a seamless flow for potential guests.

The front of the house still has all the details of the period, with decorative ceiling roses, large bay windows, plaster ceilings and open marble fireplaces. To the left of the entrance is the formal sitting room. It has satin drapes, mocha-coloured carpet and French-inspired chandeliers – an elegant room to head for after a long dinner party.

The main bedroom is equally opulent and has a walk-in wardrobe that is large enough to serve as a private study or retreat. A fully tiled en suite with double shower heads and twin vanities creates a tranquil atmosphere.

The kitchen, an architect-designed masterpiece, includes European appliances, a large breakfast bar, stone benchtops and white cabinetry. There is also a butler’s pantry with a study nook.

Upstairs there are three well-proportioned bedrooms, each with their own colour palette.

Whether it’s the green, pink or blue bedroom, each has a built-in wardrobe and a leafy outlook. They all share a large bathroom and rumpus room. \ FRANCESCA CARTER

Built in 1888, this double-fronted Victorian embraces an open-plan lifestyle. But unlike other Victorians, which hide behind brick fences, this house embraces the street with a symmetrical, landscaped front garden. Inside, a wide hallway with its typical arch at mid-point, has timber floorboards and tall ceilings. The front of the house stays true to its Victorian roots with texture and richness found in the elegant light fittings, the patterned drapes, hand-plastered ceilings and intricately detailed cornices. Towards the back, the fittings and floor plan become more contemporary. The main bedroom, which has a double-sided walk-in wardrobe and en suite, has views of the garden. The kitchen, which looks like it has just been photographed for a spread in Country Life, has a lime-green colour palette, timber surfaces, detailed cabinetry, a wide and long island bench and European appliances. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows look out onto the backyard. \ FRANCESCA CARTER

3206 ALBERT PARK Only once in a blue moon will a double-fronted Victorian property in Albert Park become available. In fact, this residence has not been sold in more than 100 years. Basically untouched and healthily maintaining all of its classic features, this three-bedroom house is full of rich history. Featuring bluestone foundations, a slate roof and detailed tiles under a bull-nose verandah, the quality of this property is undeniable. Beautiful true Victorian-character interiors run throughout the entire building, adding, style to the property’s spacious rooms.

Four living rooms are spread across the house, creating a comfortable lifestyle. The kitchen, with a laundry extension, radiates a home-style feeling from its bright-yellow cupboards and detailed floor pattern.

Set on a large block of land, the north-facing backyard has plenty of room for an extension or renovation. Spectacularly groomed gardens light up the backyard, which has an external toilet and a single-car garage with rear access and workshop.

Close to the No.1 and No.96 tram routes and within walking distance of the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre, Albert Park Lake and many quality shops and restaurants, this prestigious house in a beautiful area is sure to attract a lot of attention. \ TOM HYWOOD

value of a house dePreciates, just liKe a new car land valuing is difficult enough, but there

are even more variables when it comes to getting a consistent opinion of the market value of a building.

We always counsel long-term, passive investors to buy purely on land value with a “free” home, or to buy proven popular houses such as Victorians and Edwardians as opposed to new houses. Why? Many of us love period houses now, but in the 1960s the thinking was to modernise them. In the process, a number of classic buildings were destroyed. Similarly, Art Deco was loved in the 1920s and ’30s but now has a limited following – a very passionate following with buyers who will

pay strong prices, but limited nonetheless.

The value of many houses depreciates, just as a new car does the moment it is driven from the showroom. If half your money is spent on the house (the other half on the land) and that house goes out of favour, as many do (such as the recent fad for Georgian reproduction houses), then while the land component may be growing in value, the other half of your money is working in a negative direction.

To demonstrate, here are the opinions of four “agents” on the value of a 25-square 1970s house with an en suite and double garage on a nice block in Melbourne’s inner suburbs.

Ms Artina Deco: $400,000. “I think this

house will be bought by an overseas

buyer, who would consider this a good, solid home.”

Sir Eddy Wardian: $300,000. “I think this house will be bought by a new-home buyer and renovated to new. My estimate of value when renovated is $700,000 and I think it will cost $400,000 to renovate – therefore it is worth $300,000.”

Mr Victor Rian: $200,000. “I think this house will be bought by an investor who will get a 3 per cent rental return, so I have based my calculation on that.”

Cal Bung: Zip – $0. “I think this house will be bought by a developer who will bulldoze and put up units.”

As for me, my opinion of the market value of this house would depend on where it is located. If it were Balwyn I’d say $300,000 to

$400,000, because that’s how overseas buyers from China and India have been assessing similar houses recently.

But if I were in Brighton or Toorak, I’d say between zero and $200,000 because there it is more likely to be bulldozed and the site developed. Many great houses in Toorak have no value because they are bulldozed by a new owner with plenty of funds who wants to make their own footprint.

Valuing houses and land and emotion is the pursuit of perfection by the imperfect but the closer you get, the better your decisions and strategies can be.
