Virginia trioli \ HOME TRUTHS ABOUT THE WAR ON DRUGS

Y

ou don’t often hear battle-hardened generals issuing a blunt command to abandon the field of war, but that’s exactly what the former Australian Federal Police commissioner Mick Palmer did last week when he declared, with no emotion, that the so-called war against drugs in this country was a complete failure.

The policies of illicit drug “prohibition” – an intriguing term – just weren’t working, he said: prices were lower, drugs were freely available, we victimise and criminalise users and, despite policing being better than ever before, a law-enforcement approach hasn’t made any difference at all – in fact, Palmer said, we’ve created more harm and damage than good.

It was as comprehensive a demolition of current drug policy in this country as I have ever heard. Actually, beyond some very special interest groups, I’ve not heard such a condemnation before at all. Usually all those wearing the uniform sing loudly and defiantly from the same song sheet: that the fist of the law will crack down hard and fast on all aspects of illicit drug production, distribution and use. But Palmer, the man who once claimed ethnic crime gangs are largely responsible for the rising rates of violent offences in our capital cities,

and whose organisation fiercely prosecuted the case of zero-tolerance for all aspects of the illicit drug trade, has seen enough. He’s been waving the white flag for some time now, but this, his most recent call, coincides with another high-profile battle cry, and the contrast between the two could not be more stark.

Just last month, the Crime Commission released its annual drugs report showing a number of record highs in illicit drug seizures, arrests, and weight of drug hauls. Palmer says the net result is a flawed policy that criminalises the activities of young people, forces them into buying backyard drugs that send profits into the pockets of criminals. The war is over.

But in the face of this reality, Prime Minister Tony Abbott was urging his troops to remain at the ramparts.

“We are ensuring that the war on drugs is fought as fiercely as we humanly can.” But then this: “It’s not a war we will ever finally win … but you’ve got to fight it.”

Reformers such as Palmer don’t see the point any more, and they are prepared to enter the political death-zone of decriminalisation – but as Palmer acknowledges, this is what you can do as a public figure when you’re no longer worried about being re-elected.

I’m sceptical that the tabloid culture of this country will ever allow a sensible discussion about legalisation (and I worry about the signal this might send to impressionable users) so I am more attracted to Palmer’s general point about opening up a realistic and honest discussion with young people about their drug use.

John Ryan, from the drug research centre the Penington Institute, says we can’t expect the government to solve this problem; families need to be taught the skills needed to deal with this within their families – and that requires directness, information, honesty and realism.

How scary does that sound? When was the last time you had a genuinely honest discussion with your children about drug use? One that accepts a desire by some to experiment? One that acknowledges that drug use can be self-medication for undiagnosed issues of mental health? I can’t think of a more compassionate, informed place for this problem to be dealt with than within the family. It’s certainly not a problem that the guns of law and order have managed to solve. \

Cover Story PETER WILMOTH meets artist and refugee advocate Kate Durham

I

f there weren’t so many other visual treats at the extraordinary historic home and garden of Kate Durham and Julian Burnside – Reg Mombassa paintings, murals, sculptures – you could spend a long time around their books on language, art, politics, writing. This is a house whose occupants clearly connect with the world of culture and ideas.

Kate Durham, 57, walks me around. Outside there are industrial-sized sculptures, little water features, a tiny wooden bridge (which Durham painted) over a tiny pond. There’s a real secret garden feel. Today she points out a tawny frogmouth sitting in the peppercorn tree.

Durham is an artist, known mainly for her jewellery.

Right at the back is a large studio where she works, and the “gatehouse” where her mother lived for three years (she died two years ago of cancer, aged 87). But it is Durham’s role as an advocate for refugees that has taken up much of her time over the past 13 years, since the 2001 Tampa incident, which scandalised her into action.

With Burnside, a noted Melbourne Queen’s Counsel, she has opened her home to asylum seekers and launched Spare Rooms for Refugees, which has helped more than 100 people find accommodation. The couple also set up Spare Lawyers for Refugees, a network of lawyers providing help for asylum seekers free of charge.

“I thought, ‘If they’re accusing Muslims of being terrorists, the best way to solve the problem is to show them you’re prepared to have them in your house and that you’re not afraid of them’,” Durham says.

The first person to move in with Burnside and Durham was Uighur woman Nurghal, a refugee from north-west China who stayed with them for nine months and met the love of her life here.

The next was Rahmat, a Hazara Afghan, who lived with them for six years and was later joined by his wife and 14-year-old brother Juma. After six years, Rahmat moved into a house Burnside and Durham owned around the corner, living there for another two and a half years. “It was fun, it was like a village,” Durham says. “They’ve now bought a house near Dandenong.”

Nine years ago Mosa, then aged 11, arrived from Afghanistan. Durham describes him as her “foster son”, although she has not formally adopted him. “He thinks I’m his mum. He doesn’t say, ‘mum’ but he regards us as his parents.

“He’s a relative of Rahmat, he had some problem with his family,” she says. “He loved coming here. I just

thought, ‘This is appropriate that he is here’. His parents left their farm in Afghanistan and are in Pakistan now.

We help where we can there.”

Mosa is at university in Ballarat, studying paramedics and nursing, and living in residence. He returns to Hawthorn every weekend. “He’s got the same interests as any 20-year-old – cars, girls, music,” she says.

“He’s really handsome – that’s a good thing for him, so he gets away with a lot. Like most Afghans I know, he is not particularly religious but the culture strain is very strong. People are incredible how adaptable they can be.”

Durham and Burnside are also hosting Ali, in his 30s, who spent five years in detention on Nauru before moving into their gatehouse two-and-a-half years ago.

“He was pretty shattered by being on Nauru as long as that, so he gets down, I would say.”

An only child, Durham was “mostly” brought up by her mother. “She and I were incredibly close. Every day I

“He was supposed to look after me on school holidays because I was at boarding school, but he didn’t. He would just pick me up and dump me at [the celebrated Australian artist] Colin Lanceley’s house in Regent’s Park in London. I stayed there for a week. “[At Lanceley’s] I thought, ‘Oh my God, this is perfect, this is what I’ll be, I’ll be an artist’.”

Durham studied fine art at Monash before going on to a post-graduate degree at the Victorian College of the Arts. She painted, but later began to make jewellery, eventually selling around Australia and to agents in the US and London.

At an election party in 1996 – the night John Howard defeated Paul Keating – her life changed when she met Julian Burnside. “He invited me – within five minutes – to a concert,” she says. “And I thought, ‘You’re supposed to do that at the end of the party’. I thought, ‘Yeah, I’m open to a concert’. He would ring quite a bit. He wasn’t my kind, I thought.”

“i thought, ‘if they’re accusing muslims of being terrorists, the best way to solve the problem is to show them you’re prepared to have them in your house’ ” miss her badly. She was still very vibrantly involved, she was politically involved, she was funny, very creative, wrote books on movement.”

Durham had an uneasy relationship with her father, a psychiatrist, and with the man her mother married in the late 1960s, a scientist with whom Durham got on “explosively”.

After her mother remarried, the family moved to Mt Eliza, which Durham hated. “I still loathe tea tree.

My mother kept promising that she would leave my stepfather and we would get out of there. I was naughty and because I wasn’t getting on with my stepfather, they made me board. It was a terrible teenage time.

“I felt worried for my mother. I think I took it out with my behaviour at school. I was a clown at school.

I was naughty, very rebellious. As a child I had a slightly obsessive quality. I was always drawing. From the age of nine I knew I wanted to be an artist, nothing else.”

At nine, Durham moved to London for a year, ostensibly to reconnect with her biological father.

Durham was about to move to Sydney. “I told my mother, ‘This guy’s buzzing round, mum, I don’t know what to make of it’ … I said, ‘He’s a QC’ and she laughed. She said, ‘Grow up, darling, get on with it, get off to Sydney, get on with your job. He’s the last thing you need.’ Eventually she met Burnside and she was won over. He was very charming.” They married in 1998.

After Tampa in 2001, the couple felt compelled to do more for refugees. Durham travelled to Nauru in 2002 as a researcher for a BBC program called Pacific Solution, which was screened worldwide.

“I felt like I was in a crisis. I felt it was up to me in some way to fix this problem, that this was a minor glitch, that Australians were fabulous people and this wouldn’t go on. But it did. And it’s worse than ever.”

She says she felt “a kind of grief”. “My mother and I were so obsessed with Nauru, we’d send parcels

every Thursday. We’d lay out all our stuff and write to hundreds of people there. We would send cameras hidden in shoeboxes, bolts of fabric, toys, dictionaries, English books.”

Opening her house to those who needed help became an intense personal journey. Durham has no children of her own. “I didn’t want a child. I’d actually ruled out any idea of parenting because I thought I would always be very poor, because I’m an artist. And I never wanted to be as vulnerable as my mother had been, to being left.

“When I was a child she was on two-thirds the salary of a man, couldn’t take out a bank loan. And I honestly believe she wouldn’t have married my stepfather had he not emphasised how responsible he’d be, how he’d take care of me. I always felt she made this terrible sacrifice for me and I didn’t want to do the same thing. So I suppressed any interest in children, really,’’ she says.

“Mosa coming along was kind of a curious experiment, really. And a very good one. I’m just lucky that he’s good-natured. And I’m also lucky that he’s not particularly religious because we’re not … But I’d put up with it. I encouraged him to go to the mosque if he wanted, but he didn’t.”

S

he and Burnside are united in making real the ideal of the privileged giving something back.

They have similarities: “What we had in common was an interest in the arts.” And differences: “I’d never encountered people who’d voted Liberal. It was six years into our marriage and he said, ‘I’ve never really told Kate that I’ve voted Liberal all my life’. I was absolutely stunned. I wouldn’t have gone out with him again. And he knew …

“Politics has never interested him. But his sense of human rights was always there.”

Did she start Spare Rooms for Refugees with a sense of knowing she was wealthy and had a big house she could share? “That’s precisely where it came from. We’d just finished a renovation here. The minute I married Burnside I felt kind of self-conscious. I suddenly had a new identity. I was happily illustrating, hopeless with money … I felt overwhelmingly guilty suddenly.

“We haven’t got super wealth or anything, but I felt self-conscious. Suddenly this thing the rich have known for centuries – noblesse oblige – kicks in and you do feel, ‘Well, this is fine, but I am not going to ignore what’s going on … and I’ve got to be much more involved’. I’m not worried about my survival so I’ve got more time to pay attention to these other things.

“The strange thing was that during this process I kind of lost quite a lot of friends because, without knowing it, I’d been making them feel guilty and they didn’t like it.

That resonates with Australia generally – that the more you’re a do-gooder, the more you’re embarrassing other people and making them feel as though they’re not doing their bit.

“The great thing about having money was I didn’t have to raise money. I didn’t have to ask for anyone’s permission.” \ pwilmoth@theweeklyreview.com.au

My view \ katrina hall leaves competitive cooking to the ottolenghi clan

T

“It’s not hard to see where my anxiety comes from”

(ISTOCK \ THINKSTOCK)

he only people I know who understand Ottolenghi cookbooks are coming for dinner tomorrow night.

Actually, not only do they understand them, they’ve managed to find all the ingredients for one of his salads in a single day of shopping.

These people are serious about food. They’ve been known to marinate lamb three days before a casual mid-week dinner. They parboil potatoes before they roast them. Their kids will sit down to a plate of stuffed onions and fattoush. Their cupboards are filled with jars of things I’ve never heard of – dukkah, harissa and zhoug, which one could be forgiven for thinking are the names of people they know except that they’re condiments from the Ottolenghi cookbook.

How am I going to pull off dinner for them when my signature dish is roast chicken stuffed with herbs from a Donna Hay book someone gave me 15 years ago? I find working with more than four ingredients a challenge. I overcook lamb. My most ambitious dessert is Eskimo Pies with strawberries. And I like fennel but avoid it because I’m not sure how to cut into it.

How can I tell my food-literate friends that I once spent an afternoon in the IGA looking for garam masala in the booze section? That I wouldn’t know a stick of lemon grass if I fell over it. That I manage my cooking anxiety by being hyper-organised and peaking early, so by the time guests arrive everything’s dry and overcooked and I’m ready for bed.

I can sense a competitive-cooking dinner-party cycle brewing, and I need to put a lid on that dutch oven before it starts to simmer. I have no time for upping the ante every time someone cooks a nice dinner for me,

and no interest in getting up at dawn to get started on a pork belly and iron the linen.

I’ve been in a competitive-cooking dinner-party cycle before, and it’s vicious. It was a while ago, back in the day when we were in share houses and cooking was a novelty. Actually, eating anything other than dim sims and spaghetti bolognese was a novelty.

They were heady days. We dined high on the hog – well, actually dinners were more nostalgic for our mums’ cooking than grand, as we mastered old Kooka stoves with one operating burner and ovens that no one ever cleaned. We ate corned beef with mash and tuna bake, and sometimes punched higher than our weight with pesto made from scratch. And then we’d smoked a couple of Benson & Hedges between courses.

Right now, I’d do anything for a plate of my old roomies’ hand-crumbed chicken schnitzels, which she garnished artistically with warm avocado and hollandaise. Sadly, we fell out after I accidently dropped a plate of her hand-crafted tiramisu when I pulled it out of the fridge.

She called it sabotage, but the truth is that the tiramisu’s demise was caused by too many glasses of Houghton’s White Burgundy on my part.

It’s not hard to see where my anxiety comes from.

Anyway, someone suggested I do a beef burgundy because it’s safe, reasonably simple, and slow-cooked for long enough you can’t tell if I burnt the onion and garlic a bit at the start. And no lemon grass. \ khall@theweeklyreview.com.au

Barista \ LEANNE TOLRA REVIEWS STAGGER LEE’S about a cold-blooded murder – has an expert breathing life into every aspect of its operation.

Proud Mary’s Nolan Hirte steers all things coffee, Mun Soon, architect and owner of funky city café Krimper, designed the stunning interior, floor manager Monica Chhay (ex Proud Mary café) oversees a smooth team and Chris Hamburger (The Aylesbury) is behind the sassy, approachable menu.

A showpiece four-group Synesso Hydra espresso machine – Hirte had it custom-designed and describes it as “a couple of car’s worth” – is the backbone of the highly tuned caffeine set-up.

Hirte is known for his analytical quest for coffee perfection and has ramped up Proud Mary’s offering at Stagger Lee’s by using only fastidiously treated single-origin coffee.

Water is distilled to exacting standards, a refractometer is used to assess coffee quality, and each espresso shot is weighed, put through a Mahlkönig EK43 grinder, then tamped and extracted to a precise formula.

Yes, it’s expensive and time consuming.

But for Hirte, it’s about paying homage to the farms in Brazil and Colombia who supply his coffee, while giving customers a new and intriguing espresso experience.

A single shot made with Passieo Novo

Mondo from Brazil will be full of lush, pineapple sweetness, with a creamy, sweet mouthfeel.

Hamburger’s menu features an excellent shrooms ’n truffles with creamy polenta, confit yolk and farmhouse crouts, and a fat bacon toasty with applewood-smoked bacon, English cheddar and truss tomatoes.

Johns’ Melbourne résumé includes Atomica (where he met Chhay), A Minor Place, The Premises, Wide Open Road and Small Victories.

At Stagger Lee’s he’s working with Proud Mary’s single-origin espresso coffees, plus a changing daily offering of four filter brews.

The café also offers a select range of organic teas by Chamellia, weighed and brewed to exacting standards using a temperaturecontrolled boiler.

Johns sees many parallels between the flavour nuances of coffee and wine and has become an avid wine collector in recent years, learning winemaking skills at Bress Winery in Harcourt. “Coffee is where wine was 20 years ago, but the gap is closing,” he says. \ ltolra@theweeklyreview.com.au

Subtlety is the key to this café interior: windows that fold back around two sides of the space, paint scrubbed from brick walls and concrete benchtops.

Recycled timber tables, metal chairs, bare light globes and exposed copper pipes bring in a hint of industrial chic, but it’s offset by panelled ceilings, a rendered and timber-trimmed wall and weatherboards around the window to the kitchen.\

couple of hop varieties – Pride of Ringwood and Galaxy – may be our most important.

“The Pride of Ringwood hop that was developed in the 1950s is probably the best truly bitter hop and is used worldwide,” Unsworth says.

He says Cascade first used Galaxy hops in its seasonal First Harvest, a beer that uses fresh hops, picked on the day the brew starts.

Cascade works with Hop Products Australia, which has been farming hops in Tasmania for more than 150 years, on its First Harvest beer as a testing ground for new hop varieties.

“The Galaxy hop was first used in First Harvest in 2006, when it was an experimental hop,” Unsworth says.

“We use all experimental hops in First Harvest, had a good result with Galaxy and it has gone on to become a major commercial variety. We now use Galaxy in a couple of beers. And it’s quite an unusual hop – it is quite bitter but it’s also got a strong aroma.”

Cascade releases its 2014 First Harvest this week and I was on hand for the picking of this year’s three experimental hops: Brooker for bittering, Argyle for flavour and the aromatic Macquarie. Later that day I added the Argyle hops to the flavour stage of the 20,000-litre, limited-edition First Harvest brew.

Who knows, one of those new hops may go on to be the next big thing in beer. \ bthomas@theweeklyreview.com.au

“Pride of ringwood is probably the best truly bitter hop” – mike unsworth

(ben thomas \ Alastair Bett)

hen it comes to beer, there are hops and there are hops. It’s fair to say you’d have to be quite the beer boffin to be able to pick the difference between Galaxy and Nelson Sauvin or your Pride of Ringwood in a beer, but boy do hops make a difference in a beer’s character.

“Different hops bring different characters to beer,” says Cascade’s head brewer, Mike Unsworth. “Some are good at imparting bitterness and others contribute more to the flavour and aroma of a beer. It’s all to do with the chemical components that are contained within the hops, particularly in the glands.”

Hops are added at different stages of the brewing process – for bittering at the start and for flavour and aroma towards the end – and often different hops are chosen for the characters they bring to the beer.

“In hops that are good for bittering, you have what are known as alpha acids, and when they’re boiled up they impart a lot of bitterness,” Unsworth says.

“What actually happens is that during the boil [of the brew] the acids change. The heat that’s imparted in the brew makes them more bitter. It’s a process known as isomerisation, where the acids become a more bitter compound.”

Bittering hops are added at the start of the boil as heat and time are required for the isomerisation process to achieve maximum bitterness.

“On the other hand, contained within some hops there are more volatile components and they contribute to flavour and aroma,” Unsworth says. “These are things that boil off – add them too early and you end up blowing most of their characters out the chimney.”

Food \ Leanne tolra REVIEWS THE RICKSHAW

C

an you imagine rickshaws plying the streets of Fitzroy? Picking up customers and ferrying them to dinner? Amit Tuteja, owner of the six-month-old The Rickshaw in Gertrude Street, is considering importing a few, ostensibly to transport local customers to and from his restaurant.

They’ll need to be slightly more operable than the front panel of the modern, motorised tuk-tuk that decorates his homely brick-walled, mesh-ceiling-lined restaurant. The Rickshaw sports framed images of the tiny transporters over the ages in an otherwise understated, simply furnished narrow space that belonged to Tandoori Times. Tuteja and his family also operate Tandoori Times in St Kilda and Yarraville and closed their Gertrude Street outlet for renovation late last year, reopening with the new concept in December.

I’ve seen snappier fit-outs and sampled more sophisticated Asian-fusion menus in the past 12 months, but there’s something inherently likeable and approachable about The Rickshaw and its combination of window-bar, street-side and small-table seating.

Families will enjoy its sharing menu, its pleasant, attentive staff and the fun of the showpiece tuk-tuk.

We all love a good theme.

The menu spans India and Asia and features the ubiquitous “street food” that’s so Melbourne right now. (Actually it’s a bit last year, but possibly longer to come.) It’s reasonably priced and is backed by a carefully selected drinks list that includes quality middle-brow wines, Asian beers and sake. We skipped tuk-tuk buns with wok-tossed pork neck or seared wagyu, and began table negotiations over the small bites list. DIY rice paper rolls? Duck salad? Or a Pacific oyster tri-cycle – natural, chilli and daikon with a yuzu shooter?

The Penang bowl went past us, on its way to our neighbours. It was the dish of the night. A wooden board bearing a tiny bowl of pickled, shredded vegetables, another of russet-toned, coconut-rich ground chicken and aromatic spices, served with wedges of crisply toasted naan bread. Nut-free and without spice-induced heat, it’s a yin-and-yang balance of texture and flavour that’s already a menu staple.

Chef Pui Cho spent seven years at Federation Square’s Chocolate Buddha and a short stint at South Wharf’s Thai street-food purveyor and bicycle-themed Bang Pop. She’s taken a free hand with the concept at The Rickshaw and experiments confidently with flavours.

I liked the spice-rating warnings on her menu and her relaxed approach to dialling pungency up or down according to diner whim. The Rickshaw Feast option, four courses chosen by the chef, will help the indecisive and appeal to the budget-conscious, too.

Beauty scribe \ DHAV NAIDU BATTLES THE DRIES

A

s soon as the temperature dips, our skin starts playing up and we start complaining about how dry it is. There is no one thing that you can blame for the seasonal dryness but it is widely believed that ageing, the environment and our daily rituals are the culprits.

We can generally attribute dry skin to: ● Decreased production of sebum \ As we age, sebaceous glands in the skin take a tumble. ● Loss of existing sebum \ This is caused by lifestyle decisions such as excessive bathing/ showering, over-the-top exfoliation and the use of harsh cleansers. ● Environmental causes \ The dip in temperature and the dependency on heaters can overwhelm and confuse the skin’s natural protective barrier. Low humidity in cold months causes dry air to suck the moisture from our skin.

Sebaceous glands are microscopic glands that secrete sebum to help lubricate and waterproof the skin.

Dermatologist Leslie Baumann says: “Your top layer of skin, the epidermis, is actually made up of four layers – in the middle the lipids [fats] surround your skin cells and help retain moisture. When that barrier is disrupted, your skin cells aren’t held together as well and their edges curl up – hence dry skin’s rough, scaly and dull appearance.”

So what can we do to stop the rough, scaly skin that is tight and itchy?

Dry brush your body before showers, using a natural bristle brush to go over the entire body in a circular motion. This helps invigorate and gently exfoliate the skin. Concentrate on elbows, calves and knees.

Shower in lukewarm water and limit showers to three

minutes max. Hot water might seem terrific when the weather is freezing but it breaks down barriers that help prevent moisture loss from the skin.

As soon as you step out of the shower, pat dry and make sure skin is still damp before applying moisturiser immediately.

A quarter teaspoon of product should be used for each limb and the front and back.

If your skin is extremely dry and itchy, dry brush your body and then apply coconut, olive or macadamia oil all over the body (yes cooking oil will suffice), wait a few minutes and then shower and apply moisturiser.

Q: What do all these very individual homes have in common?

A: Every single one is a knock down & re-build.

Different owners. Different needs. Different stages of life.

Different suburbs. Different budgets too. (These have ranged from the mid $300,000’s to $900,000.) But all the illustrated homes were ‘knock-down and rebuilds’. All were designed and built by Fasham. We have been advising, designing and building for clients wishing to knock down and

re-build for over 40 years. We are especially experienced in this niche, with around 70% of all our work being knock down and rebuild. Our designs are individual responses to individual briefs, with houses always orientated to the path of the sun and designed to optimise the potential of every site. Whether you are planning to knock down and rebuild

on your present land (perhaps with subdivision in mind) or on land you have acquired for the purpose, we believe we have unmatched experience to offer. Please visit our display homes in Balwyn North (see address details below), view our website www.fasham.com.au, or call Emma Fasham on 9822 9000.

Fashion \ Jane Rocca MEETS FIORINA GOLOTTA, WHO ROMANCES THE STONE

(Robert Mora \ supplied)

F

iorina Golotta has always loved trinkets; she recalls theatrical dress-ups as kids with her sister – and now muse – Franca. And despite her traditional Italian parents wanting her to become a lawyer or accountant, she found her calling in art and fashion and now is one of Melbourne’s most respected jewellery designers.

Her label, Fiorina, is all about weighty dress jewellery and it has developed a cult following.

Golotta’s signature style has won her an abundance of fans over the 20 years she’s been in business – women who have remained loyal to her elaborate handmade pieces.

What began as a wholesale business stocked in places such as Husk is now a stand-alone store that has been running for the past five years on High Street, Armadale. Golotta’s pieces are old-world and opulent; they capture elegance and are inspired by ancient art and modern subcultures.

She references everything from Byzantine to Etruscan civilisation – this pre-Roman aesthetic in sync with her personal expression. Just don’t mention the ’80s – they were too modern and sterile, according to Golotta, who prefers to lean on the intricate layers of ancient worlds.

“I feel I have been very lucky that through inconsistencies and doom and gloom of the market, people are still responding to what I do and there is a longevity in what I am making,” she says.

“It has taken me a long time to see that, but women come in and they still wear the necklace they bought from me 15 years ago and I still sell it on the floor today.

“There is also an Italian notion to my pieces; it’s like saying, hold your head up high – it propels you forward, it gives you purpose.”

Golotta moved out of home at 18, describing the process as “drama-filled”. She moved to Cairns for a year to work at an African jewellery shop and didn’t start making jewellery until she was 24.

The look

Opulent, elegant and unique – that’s what makes Fiorina stand out from the rest. This Armadale jeweller celebrates her Italian heritage through design, and looks to the ancient world for modern inspiration.

She took a private silversmith course, which was later followed by a course at TAFE and many years spent at her kitchen table adding to her wondrous collection.

“I moved to Queensland to be a hippie,” says Golotta with a laugh.

“I love the colour and the idea of modern tribal design. It really drew me in.

“I didn’t end up doing jewellery following the most traditional route. I went back to school at 28 and before then I worked for Bettina Liano in Melbourne.

But fashion got on my nerves with women constantly asking, ‘Do my arms look fat in this?’ That’s when I’d had enough.”

Fiorina is known for its use of pre-1945 currency, making jewellery that captures a modern tribal beat.

And Golotta enjoys working with quartz stones.

MUST HAVE

“I really love stones and I believe that they have a healing property to them,” she says.

“Women want something for the heart chakra. It’s what I’m gauging, and these stones give off a certain property. Women want to feel power through jewellery.”

Golotta’s 20th anniversary is a milestone she is proud of – but the years have certainly flown by, she says. For now, the emphasis for this new season is still about colour, but she’s also returned to using black and white stones.

“I am seeing them in a new light,” she says. “I don’t know how happy I am until I have felt misery. I have gone for a polar opposite in a sense – by using black and white, the stones capture both aspects.” \ jrocca@theweeklyreview.com.au

MAY 14, 2014 \ The weekly review 15

These days, the most remarkable thing about a Terry Gilliam film is that it exists Top at all. Gilliam’s directorial career is strewn pick with disasters and near-misses. Most famously, his take on Don Quixote was abandoned mid-filming, while his leading man died during production of The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. Behind-the-scenes documentaries on his movies tend to be more dramatic and nail-biting than the films themselves.

His latest effort is a somewhat subdued offering.

There’s a sense – helped by the fact the film was shot in Romania – that Gilliam is an auteur in exile. Although set in a garish, dystopian future, The Zero Theorem is remarkably small scale, largely taking place on a single set, as computer programmer Qohen (Christoph Waltz) attempts to solve an impossible algorithm, proving that all of creation adds up to nothing at all. He is supported by a small, if impressive, band of actors, who work hard to bring energy to an oddly static film.

There are echoes of Gilliam’s masterpiece Brazil, but the director’s flights of fantasy are notably restrained. The film’s two moments of true, surrealist wonder are saved to the end, although the visuals are as lush and eccentric as ever.

Myke’s s pac e

The Zero Theorem \ MéLANIE THIERRY

It’s always a joy to step into Gilliam’s heightened worlds, but this one does feel a little familiar. The director has tackled themes of a mad man in a madder world more successfully elsewhere. Likewise, his critique of overbearing technology seems outdated and a little tame.

More troubling is a sole female character (excepting a cameo from Tilda Swinton), who is a transparent male fantasy, there to seduce and soothe our troubled, unattractive and middle-aged hero.

Overall, this is a solid effort from Gilliam, if not a great one – the work of a genius, iconoclastic director trying to stretch his clipped wings. \

Bright will lure you in with its beauty but you’ll fall in love with the passion of the people. Add the quality of what’s on offer and you may never want to leave.

Eight years ago, Bright Brewery started with four beers, two mates and one shed.

Today, it has six main beers, plus a host of seasonals guaranteed to whet your whistle.

Experience owner Scott Brandon’s infectious passion for the product on a tour of the brewery (book in advance) or just grab a sampler paddle and sit back in front of the fire. To eat: pizza, pasta and pub favourite, burgers. Match beer with your meal and enjoy live music in front of the fire. Try the “Staircase” porter for that chocolate/coffee taste without the heaviness of a traditional dark brew. \

Promising a “modern approach to regional food”, Tani has a crisp interior, with an elegance befitting the menu’s decadence but not betraying its country roots. Rated new regional restaurant of the year by The Age Good Food Guide 2014, it offers dishes such as Mornington squid served with lime, yuzu, shiso, cucumber and grape ice, and quail served with fermented vegetables, citrus, red miso and garlic dressing. Or try the Sher wagyu with king brown mushroom – but leave room for dessert because chocolate crémeux with quark and liquorice ice-cream is a delight for the eyes and mouth. \

Talk about a serene setting. Boynton’s Feathertop winery has two luxury farmstay accommodation options, including a two-bedroom king self-contained apartment.

The apartment has a kitchen, spa bath and, most importantly, amazing views of the vineyards and mountains. For the more adventurous, try the farmstay, which allows you to experience all the aspects of an operating winery – if you wish. As a bonus, Feathertop also has a stunning outdoor dining area, offering dishes made with fresh and local produce – some grown on-site. \

Ski & Board

Clean, modern and Green Star-rated rooms greet you at the Ovens Valley Motor Inn. Owners Simeon and Shannon Crawley (who also own Bright Chocolate) have created a peaceful dwelling capturing the easygoing nature of Bright. A picturesque fountain near the front gate sets the scene, while an inviting pool in the centre of the complex is all too tempting. Other facilities include a restaurant, bar and barbecue. \ Tim Doutré travelled to Bright thanks to Tourism North East and local partner Alpine Shire Council.

IRONIC ICONIC

\ RACHEL BERGEr takes a turn at the wheel

3 dog walking parks

got an ironic iconic idea? email me

(Nik Harrison)

elbourne is baffling, like the silent “n” in autumn – which, according to Melburnians, is the city’s most charming season. It’s a city of long shadows, short black coffees, couples walking their dogs, the freshly baked smell of city apartments, laneways sprayed with staggering art, and never-ending sporting events.

I’m addicted. I need a minimum daily dose of one tram ride or left-hook turn – and an extended gaze at the Melbourne Star Observation Wheel. Like a cryptic crossword, this giant wheel has a calming effect on my troubled mind.

For almost five years it didn’t move at all. Whenever I was anywhere near Docklands, I’d stop my car and stare at it – poised and majestic against the skyline – willing it to move. Nothing. I even thought of rallying the thousands of other Melbourne Wheel nerds out there into a collective “stare” at a designated time every week. I’d hoped that by channelling our energies and working some quantum mechanics voodoo, we’d create the reality we wanted – a moving wheel. But then I figured OH&S regulations would dictate the wearing of hard hats, orange vests and safety boots – and I’d have to fill in the required paperwork. I did nothing.

Finally on December 23, 2013, the Melbourne Star Observation Wheel was opened. Happy dancing.

It’s a magical wheel; seven spokes, reflecting the seven-pointed star of the Australian flag (Federation Star), almost 120 metres high (equivalent to a 40-storey building) with 21 air-conditioned floor-to-ceiling glass-walled cabins (each accommodating as many as 20 passengers), that in just one thrilling 30-minute rotation deliver jaw-dropping views as far as Mount Macedon and the Dandenong Ranges.

This has been a task of Sisyphean proportions;

A DASH OF POLISH FOR AN OLD SOLE Developing our city \ Birkenstock’s Australian headquarters embody the brand’s key values – health and sustainability, writes Sarah Marinos

W

hen German shoe manufacturer Birkenstock chose a building for a new Australian HQ, it was only natural the development would bring together considered design, craftsmanship, comfort, health and sustainability.

These are qualities many people have come to regard as part of the brand ever since the first pair of Birkenstock shoes was made more than 200 years ago in north-west Germany. The business wanted its flagship Australian building staying true to its principles.

Seeking to unite its Australian operations under one roof, Birkenstock chose an almost derelict red-brick heritage building in Clifton Hill. In an 18-month project, it was transformed into a light, open workplace and shop that has won two Melbourne Design Awards.

The building had once housed a boot manufacturer, and a feature in the ground-floor shop highlights this heritage. A glass strip runs the length of the floor and serves as a display case for artefacts found during the renovation – a baseball bat, beer bottles and a yellowing 1918 edition of The Herald – plus old shoemaking tools bought by Birkenstock.

Customers and staff share an entrance that opens to the shop. An original exposed red-brick wall displays shoes, shelving is made from local sustainable sugar gum and the floors are Victorian ash. The original downstairs floorboards were reused in the upstairs office. A tree has a central place in the shop and there’s a patch of real grass as carpet in the front window, its fresh smell wafting through the store.

“We have a double-glass façade – so an inner layer and an outer layer,” says project creator Marc Bernstein-Hussmann, a director of Melbourne Design

The courtyard contains a dining terrace, a

This four-bedroom bungalow will pique renovators’ interests. From its tiled front verandah on, it makes a grand statement with a leadlight-glass double entry and wide tiled and sky-lit central hallway. From here there are three carpeted bedrooms, two with built-in wardrobes. The third bedroom, however, showcases the house’s period heritage, with its intricate ceiling rose, strapping, cornices and bay windows. Past the central bathroom and separate toilet, the carpeted living and dining rooms are largely open plan, separated by an archway. Similar period features are on offer here, plus the inclusion of two brick fireplaces. At the rear of the house, the kitchen overlooks an elevated deck and the study offers access, via stairs, to the laundry and backyard. The kitchen and study have cork flooring. The backyard is generous, reflecting the 690-square-metre block. To top it off, there is also a shed and a bungalow at the rear of the block, with a separate office or storeroom, bathroom, heating and air-conditioning. \ JULIAN HEALEY

Ashleigh Road is a charming little street with parks at one end and an abundance of lovely houses. The single-fronted Victorian house at No. 9 is pretty as a picture.

Polychromatic Hawthorn brickwork is elegantly framed by white decorative lacework and a white picket fence. A tiered front garden leads up to the verandah.

This opens to a traditional floor plan of rooms off the long hall. Polished floorboards throughout work with a natural colour palette of white and beige. Both bedrooms feature Victorian staples such as cornices, ceiling roses, skirting boards and a open fireplace.

The front bedroom also has tall built-in wardrobes. The narrow bathroom has black and white flooring. Towards the back is the spacious living area, which has a large original fireplace flanked by built-in bookshelves. A kitchen and dining room are tucked away towards the rear, where doors offer access to a large west-facing courtyard that has great bones to be transformed into something magical. \ FRANCESCA CARTER

CAMBERWELL \ 5 Lodge Road The Californian bungalow gets a new lease of life and designer status in this Camberwell street that is undergoing massive transformation. This house, with its original 1920s palm tree resplendent in the front garden, is a brilliant example of how to make the style work for modern families.

First, keep the best parts such as the pretty timber façade, hardwood floors, strapped ceilings, and open fireplaces. Then bring in a new broom – and designers and builders – to create a warm and stylish residence with natural light, open-plan living and great proportions.

A wide central hall sets the tone for the roomy feel of the house. The main bedroom at the front has a fitted dressing room/walk-in wardrobe and tiled en suite. A lounge room and bedroom are also at the front.

The contemporary extension is made up of a laundry, terrific open-plan kitchen/dining/living zone, two more bedrooms and a bathroom. A sliding door off the living area leads to two airy bedrooms, family bathroom and separate toilet.

The kitchen, replete with Miele and Smeg appliances packed into the granite benches, looks over the living hub. French doors on the rear wall lead to a wide deck with steps down to the garden.

Plantation shutters, off-street parking and proximity to transport and shops are more attractions. \ MARIA HARRIS

mal James \ MAY COMMONLY DETERMINES MARKET DIRECTION

M

ay is always an interesting month. Since 2007, three of the past four significant changes in market direction have happened in May: a down market started in May 2008, the market turned back up in May 2009, and then took another tumble in May 2010. The beginning of the current upmarket is an exception to the rule – it started in late spring in 2012.

Agents are aware of this trend and so are we. There’s always a bit of uncertainty at this time of the year.

Before the recent Easter holiday hiatus, Melbourne’s $1 million-plus property market was booming, with all our indicators – stock levels, clearance rates, and Bidderman, our bidders-per-auction indicator – in the red zone. How does it look now?

On the first auction weekend after the break, clearance rates were down to 61 per cent on the 23 auctions we covered, and Bidderman sat at 2. On a smallish number of auctions, it’s hard to read too much into any stats.

There were a few strong performers though, among them 16 Devorgilla Avenue, Toorak, which had five bidders and sold under the hammer for $2.178

million (Rodney Morley, Rodney Morley Persichetti). The period character family house at 5 Malvern Avenue, Glen Iris, also had five bidders and sold under the hammer for $1.626 million (Steven Abbott, Jellis Craig).

In Brighton, two bidders fought over the grand Italianate mansion on 1741 square metres at 66 Hanby Street. It sold under the hammer for $4.66 million.

The Easter holiday interruption means auction numbers won’t really build up until later in the month. The first Saturday after a clear four-week campaign is May 24 (which will be a super Saturday). But numbers are going to be strong next weekend (May 17), with more than 120 scheduled.

What we can read is the vibe at open-forinspections for new listings since Easter. To us there appears less of a buzz. However, when a market is strong, with good bidder depth, drops in sentiment go relatively unnoticed for some time.

One popular property that appears to have had no decrease in interest is the Hamptons-style house we visited recently at 2 Boyanda Road, Glen Iris (Anthony Reis).

No less than 16 groups fronted up at the midweek inspection. We’re not surprised, given we rated it at 720. The property is quoted at $2.7 million.

In Brighton, another highly sought-after

sold $1.626 million 5 malvern avenue, glen iris

property is the modern family house – with a pool and tennis court – at 147 Were Street (Kate Strickland). We rated this at 742 and, given recent strong results for Brighton properties such as 13 Hall Street (Nick Johnstone) and 38 Cochrane Street (Ian Jackson), there are clearly still plenty of unsatisfied buyers looking at all levels.

We’ve noted the underquoting issue is back in the news. It’s a perennial story that inevitably pops up when markets are as hot as they have been. We certainly understand buyers’ concerns and their frustrations at missing out on properties they thought they might have a chance at buying, given the price or range quoted on an advertisement or by an agent. But we also note a big part

of the problem is that many buyers don’t understand what an agent quote actually is.

A quoted price or quote range is not a cast-iron guarantee of what the property will sell for, or indeed what the seller is prepared to accept. It’s a price the agent believes will attract people to come and see the property – few agents quote prices they feel may damage a property’s chances of selling. Some agents, but not all, like to build buyer price expectations during a campaign; we call this step-quoting at the top end.

Often, especially in a hot market, market forces will push the price well beyond the quoted range. That’s great for the vendor, but frustrating for buyers, who feel let down by what the agent said.

How should buyers deal with it? Getting emotional and angry often leads to poor decision-making – consider instead an independent property adviser and do your own research. It’s frustrating, but auctions are an open market, and you do need to remember that often other buyers are your real enemy, more so than the agents.\ Mal James Principal Buyer Advocate 0408 107 988 \ 9804 3133 We Only Buy Homes www.james.net.au MAY 14, 2014 \ The weekly review 49

From the street it is a pretty Victorian block-fronted house. Inside it has been totally rebuilt and transformed into generous, light-filled accommodation that the Victorians could only have dreamt of. Rooms off the central hall include two children’s bedrooms and the main bedroom with a fitted walk-in wardrobe and glamorous travertine en suite. A second bathroom with stone finishes, bath and shower and a large powder room are off the transverse hall. Stairs at the end of the hall lead to the rear extension and full-width living hub. The kitchen has granite benchtops, glossy 2pac cabinetry, a walk-in pantry and a Miele suite including a coffee machine. Beyond the kitchen bench, the living and dining area opens to a wide, covered deck with views to the back garden and across to the playing fields of Camberwell High School. On the lower level, a rumpus room with polished concrete floor opens to the back garden. A powder room, laundry with drying cabinet, study and fourth bedroom off the rumpus room complete the picture. \ MARIA HARRIS

The red-brick façade of this family residence blends seamlessly into its picturesque surrounds. Inside, a glamorous tiled entrance leads into the open-plan formal zones. Nearby is the home office, or a ground-floor bedroom. The family hub includes the kitchen with marble benchtops, white cabinetry and European appliances. Adjacent is the meals space, which is set into a bay window that juts out into the paved terrace. The living room opens through a sliding door to a covered dining space. Stairs lead up through terraced garden beds to a swim-spa high above the garden. On the second floor, all bedrooms revolve around a large, light-filled retreat. The main bedroom has its own Juliette balcony, and is done with beige carpets and taupe walls. The walk-in wardrobe is near a white-tiled en suite with green marble trim and vanity top. Three bedrooms with built-in wardrobes share a luxurious, dual-entry bathroom. \ MICHELLE OSTROW ZUKERMAN

TOORAK \ 27 Moonga Road Art deco design is enduringly chic and this swish Toorak residence captures the glamour and panache of the post-war style at its peak.

Ceiling rosettes in graphic shapes, bevelled-edge glass double doors and ornamental deco light fittings lend 1920s splendour to this blue-chip brick house.

A private basement club lounge, replete with a bar, is the place to fix a smoky martini after a day at the office. The basement level can be a teenage retreat or guest apartment with a sparkling bathroom, accommodation options and separate courtyard access.

Off the enormous paved courtyard is a stunning, day spa-style indoor infinity-edge pool and lounge.

The courtyard is one of two outdoor areas.

The other nestles at the front of the property with a view over the leafy street, opening to a bright formal living room with fireplace, library and dining area.

Upstairs, the plush main retreat has a deluxe en suite with an open shower and corner spa.

Three more bedrooms, all on the upper floor, are each illuminated by a splendid chandelier.

Functionality hasn’t been forgotten, either. Features such as a huge kitchen with seven-burner stove, double oven, open-plan living and plenty of storage ensure that for all its hotel-like swank, this home fulfils the requirements of a busy family. \ EMILY POWER

This architecturally designed single-level house is in a tightly held cul-de-sac.

A water feature and garden hide the unassuming exterior. Inside, the entrance hall and airy entertainment rooms have cathedral ceilings. Lime-washed timber doors and architraves add a relaxed ambience. A glass chandelier and Heat & Glo fireplace take centre stage in the formal sitting room. A matching chandelier illuminates the adjoining sitting room. The main bedroom has garden views that reflect off angled mirrored wardrobes. The new en suite has a walk-in shower. The family hub begins with the spacious kitchen, while the meals area is flanked by a courtyard and the autumnal garden that spans the northern side of the house. At the rear, another new bathroom has taupe-coloured tiles and a bath. Next, a double bedroom leads into a living room or home office with a kitchenette.

Here, a sliding door reveals a verandah and the garden, while a separate entrance offers flexibility to use the space for work or guest accommodation. \ MICHELLE OSTROW ZUKERMAN

Heritage harmoniously meets modern in this grand house, named Threave, in a quiet pocket of Mont Albert. Handsome solid timber front doors with intricate leadlights open to a stately wood-panelled entry hall. The front part of the house, encompassing a formal sitting room with elegant window seats, three bedrooms, shared bathroom and a generous study, are in an immaculately preserved 1930s style. Newer updates have been integrated seamlessly. An en suite added to the main bedroom makes a feature of the original exterior wall, with restored brickwork (and a shelf where the milkman would leave his delivery), but pares it back with a modern marble vanity and fresh tiles.

The bright and open dining, family and kitchen area at the rear was added about 16 years ago.

With built-in cabinetry and shelving, as well as a window seat to reference the original part of the house, it has an airiness that is enhanced by the view of the lush back garden and sparkling pool and spa. In the upstairs extension are three more bedrooms and a bathroom. \ EMILY POWER

Jin Shang knows about investing wisely; he has over 15 years’ experience in the financial services industry. When he turned his attention to real estate sales, this financial knowledge, together with his fluency in Mandarin, were of real benefit for clients looking to invest in Melbourne’s most prestigious suburbs.

Since joining RT Edgar’s Toorak office in August 2013, Jin has negotiated over $50 million in sales, including the landmark Brighton property at 51-55 New Street, Brighton, which sold for almost $11 million, after being on the market for just 10 days.

“Melbourne is very lucky in that it has many properties of this calibre, and there are even more people looking to invest”, says Jin. “It’s simply our job to bring the two together’’.
