As usual, we’re in for a bumper summer of cricket and tennis, and now women’s AFL, but meanwhile, golf fans are salivating at the prospect of a showdown between reigning Masters’ champion Sergio Garcia and Australia’s own former world No.1, Adam Scott, at the PGA Championship on the Gold Coast this month.

It’s a welcome trip home for the surf-mad, AFL-loving Aussie, known as the Mr Nice Guy of international golf. But, as he reveals in our cover story, these days Adam has more than golf on his mind. ●

INTERVIEW

PAUL KELLY TALKS LOVE, LIFE ON THE ROAD & FINALLY HITTING NO.1

I

’ve been told Paul Kelly doesn’t enjoy an interview. If pushed, the 62-year-old Melbourne muso is likely to talk about the music, but rarely about himself. If you look up the word uncomfortable, you’ll find a link to a YouTube video of interviewer Kerry O’Brien pushing Paul to open up about his decades of heroin use. Even his memoir skirts around the personal, structured instead as an alphabetical guide to his back catalogue.

For a storyteller who loves words, he can be remarkably taciturn.

When we meet, it’s in the wake of a week of good news. A new national tour has been announced and Paul’s new album Life Is Fine has launched straight into the top spot on the ARIA charts. Remarkably, it’s his first No.1 hit in a four-decade career.

You might expect Paul to be ebullient or, at the very least, somewhat upbeat. Instead, he seems only restless. Restless to be back on the road and to be getting back to work.

“It’s very nice,” Paul says of his chart triumph. “I’m very happy for everyone around me. That’s quite a large group and it means a lot to all those people.”

Almost as an afterthought, he adds: “I’m very happy, too.”

Few artists would have the staying power to wait until album 23 to hit the big time. Indeed, Paul’s been around so long (he released his first record in 1981) that it’s something of a surprise to realise that even his best-known hits such as To Her Door and Continues next page

Paul Kelly

From previous page

Dumb Things didn’t crack the Top 10. But while he admits to being an ambitious muso, it seems that his hunger has never been for commercial success.

I

“

’m hungry for the next song. My favourite songwriters and artists, they weren’t No.1 in their day but their records are still listened to and still have an influence today. My hunger is to make music that lasts. A No.1 album is a temporary thing. It’s not why I write songs.”

Certainly, his recent musical efforts, including an album of Shakespearean sonnets and another of songs sung at funerals, haven’t exactly set the charts on fire.

It’s tempting to surmise that his new-found chart success might be an expression of relief from his many fans that he’s back to doing what he does best – writing pop songs.

“Don’t get me wrong, I love pop music,” Paul says.

“Those are the kind of songs I like to write. It’s only a small percentage of my songs that will ever be

played on mainstream radio, but there’s a much wider interest for me in the sort of songs I write.”

He says songwriting hasn’t become any harder as he’s got older, but his approach has changed in recent years. Whereas he used to start with a tune, he’s more interested these days in fitting poetry to music – sometimes his own, sometimes others. The title track of his new record is a poem by African American poet Langston Hughes.

He says this new approach began in 2013 when he was asked to write a song cycle for classical project Conversations With Ghosts, for which he employed the words of poets as diverse as Les Murray and W. B. Yeats.

“I like wordplays and puns. I fell in love with Shakespeare at an early age and he loved a pun. I read poetry as a teenager, I fell in love with Keats.

But nobody’s going to listen to the words if the music isn’t any good.

“There are still songs I love that I’ve heard on the radio that I still couldn’t tell you what the words

are. I don’t want to get too hung up on words. But I am! Too late.”

Talk of love (even if it’s simple logophilia) seems like a good moment to push the conversation towards more personal matters. While Paul has been at pains to separate the stories in his songs from those of his own life, there’s no doubting the importance of love in his work.

B

ut despite (or perhaps because of) being married three times, it’s a subject he prefers to keep quiet about. The revelatory 2012 documentary Paul Kelly: Stories of Me notably features no mention of his decade-long relationship with the writer Sian Prior (once credited with breaking his 25-year heroin habit).

We don’t talk about that, but we do talk about love. “Love is everything,” he tells me. “That’s what we run on.

“There are all different kinds of love and I think we need most of them. The love of friendship, the

love of family, the love of the beloved. Physical love.

I think that’s what drives us all.”

Is there one kind of love that speaks to him most strongly? “I don’t know if I ever really ranked them.

It’s good to have them all.”

aul wouldn’t be the first chronicler of ordinary lives to find himself ill-suited for one of his own. The portrait that comes across in the aforementioned film is of a restless artist, hungry for new experiences to feed his creativity.

That might explain why he’s never tired of touring. His new tour will take him from coast to coast, including a sold-out Melbourne performance as part of A Weekend in the Gardens this week.

“It’s a bubble in a way,” Paul says life on the road touring. “It’s a holiday from humdrum life. You’re doing less shopping and cooking and taking out the garbage.”

He laughs. “I like singing for two hours at a stretch. I like how I feel after a concert. You sing that long and hard, you feel high afterwards.

Endorphins are running around in your brain.”

I wonder if travelling the country gives him a sense of his place in the nation’s heart. Earlier this year, he was made Officer of the Order of Australia,

an official recognition of the way his music has captured and shaped our national character.

“People come up and say thanks for the music, so you get a sense of having an audience. It’s not something that occupies my mind too much. There are much more interesting things to think about.”

Restless he may be, but there’s at least one way in which Paul is standing still. Born in Adelaide, he first settled in Melbourne in 1976. A short stint in Sydney aside, he hasn’t been tempted to leave.

“I’ve lived in the same house for 25 years and in St Kilda for longer than that. It hasn’t changed that much. St Kilda is always going to be a bit of a mix and I like it that way.

“I can still walk up Carlisle Street and find a vegetable shop and a butcher and a two-dollar shop and a good coffee. I like being by the beach and by the bike path that runs both ways. I like swimming in the bay. I’m not going to be leaving here.” ●

GREAT

SCOTT

PETER WILMOTH MEETS INTERNATIONAL GOLF’S MR NICE GUY

I

n the golfing world of adulation, massive pay cheques and similarly-proportioned egos, Adam Scott is known as the polite, well-behaved nice guy of the PGA Tour. Meeting him in a Melbourne hotel fully checks that out.

But a note of context. “I have an ego as well,” he says, “but I’ve been lucky my whole career to have been surrounded by very level-headed people. First, I’d have to thank my parents for giving me such great perspective on things. It must start there. But the other people around me, including my wife – who I’ve known for 16 years – they’ve kept me very grounded, and realising it’s important to you what you do but that doesn’t trump everything else.”

Adam will head back to Australia this month to compete in the Australian PGA Championship on the Gold Coast. He will have more than golf on his mind, following the birth of son Byron in August.

From this distance, Adam has a pretty good life.

His workplace is some of the best real estate in the world, he has career earnings on the PGA US Tour of $61.3 million, as well as lucrative brand ambassador roles with luxury watchmaker Rolex

and Japanese clothing giant UNIQLO, and he is ranked No.25 in the world.

Adam, 37, is married to Swedish architect Marie Kojzar, with whom he also has a twoyear-old daughter, Bo. He has homes in the Swiss Alps, the Bahamas and the US, and bases himself at Sanctuary Cove on the Gold Coast when in Australia. “It’s very hard to distinguish somewhere where I really live,” he says.

“I spend as much time in Australia [as I do] in Switzerland or the Bahamas.”

He loves the pristine air of Switzerland. “I can’t tell you how spectacular it is,” he says of his base in the French-speaking Alps. How is his French?

“I have to deal with learning Swedish … learning French will have to come later.”

Adam’s golf journey began as a young boy in Adelaide when his father, a golf club manufacturer, cut down a club for his five-year-old son and took him to the course. “I was a small, skinny kid and I didn’t hit the ball very far,” Adam says, but improvement was rapid. “When I was 13, I was a two handicap and I was beating my dad.”

Nice, I say. “Yeah, but not for him that he got beaten by a 13-year-old.”

It was the start of a spectacular career. In 2013 Adam became the first Australian to win the US Masters; the following year, he was the world’s No.1 golfer. “I’m just trying to make the most out of every opportunity that I’m given,” he says. “Luckily, I was given this talent to play golf and I’m trying my best to make the most of that. I really love what I do.”

dam talks about the psychological demands of the sport. “There is a huge mental part of the game that requires probably just as much work as the physical part. There’s so much time and, therefore, there’s a lot of opportunity for thought to lead you astray.”

I ask if he can tell whether or not he’s going to

play well that day from the moment he wakes up.

“Sometimes,” he says. “For me, sometimes it’s good to be aware of things, other times it’s not ….

You become a bit of a hypochondriac: ‘oh my wrist is a bit sore today, I’m not going to play well’.

“Sometimes I feel you need to be the same all the time, fairly routined … You just need to produce the same things all the time and then it’s very easy to analyse and see what went wrong.”

Recently, though, Adam has been forced to

For an athlete in a sport involving so much travel, parenthood has been a sizeable adjustment.

“The routines you once knew have to change and you have to be very flexible. You have to understand that you’re not going to have the same amount of energy to put into what you do, so you have to be more efficient practising and preparing for that little bit less time you have,” he says.

“But it’s less time in a good way because there’s a positive energy to give from the time you give to your family.”

Sometimes, Adam’s family travels with him to tournaments. “My wife works full-time as an architect. She’s very busy. Fortunately it’s her own firm with a partner, so she can be flexible and they can come with me occasionally.”

L

change the way he plays. For five years, he adopted a controversial “anchored” putting style using a longer putter (which the golfer leaned on for stability).

When officials banned this putting method last year, he had to switch back to a standard putter.

He says he’s disappointed about the way authorities went about the ban. “If they could have proved to me that it’s an advantage or easier than putting another way, then I could stomach that,” he says. “It was something that’s been allowed in the

game forever. It’s evolved over 30 years – and all of a sudden they didn’t like the way it looked.”

He says it was only the success he and a couple of others enjoyed with the “broomstick” putting style that brought it into focus. “They felt that this was not the look they wanted going forward.”

Another change for Adam has been adjusting to life as a father. “I think it affects everyone’s profession, it’s a big change to the way you live,” he says. “But it’s only a good thing.”

ooking back on his already extraordinary career, he credits Greg Norman as an early mentor. “He gave me so much time early on,” Adam says. “I know for sure if there was anything I ever needed now, it’s just a phone call away. It’s quite unbelievable that my idol has become my friend. He was a great role model for so many kids like me in Australia. Everyone after Greg has looked up to him.”

As for the future, Adam will continue his brand ambassador work with Rolex and UNIQLO. He has also developed a strong interest in architecture and flags a possible collaboration with his wife.

“There could be something there for us maybe to work on together,” he says. He’d also like to “have a crack at designing a golf course one day”.

And for the avid surfer and AFL fan (he follows the Adelaide Crows), there is the lure of returning home to Queensland. He spent his formative years there, between the ages of nine and 18, before taking up a sports scholarship at the University of Nevada. He has been travelling almost ever since.

“I’d love to live back in Australia,” he says. “And I’d love to spend time on the Sunshine Coast.” ● AUSTRALIAN PGA CHAMPIONSHIP \ November 30-December 3, RACV Royal Pines Resort, Gold Coast. ● pga.org.au

FASHION

A

fter a trek of almost a year across South-East Asia, two Melbourne women have finally returned home. Their mission? To walk the talk on the issue of sustainable fashion. Former “shopaholics” Megan O’Malley, 30, and Gab Murphy, 26, walked more than 3400 kilometres on the hunt for positive fashion stories. We caught up with the women of Walk Sew Good to find out more about fast fashion and saving the planet.

WHAT SPARKED THE IDEA?

TWO REFORMED SHOPAHOLICS TREKKED ACROSS SOUTH-EAST

The pair met at university in a class on sustainability. “We learnt about humanity’s impact on the planet,” Gab says. “We became angry about the way our demand for goods and services often exploits the most vulnerable – the underprivileged and the environment. One day I thought, ‘what am I doing sitting on the couch? I can walk. I’m going to walk for a cause I care about’. We decided to walk across South-East Asia, a region that the fashion industry has impacted significantly.”

SUPPLIED

“No! I used to be a massive shopaholic,” says Megan.

“I’d spend hours searching through the racks for a bargain. I’d be disappointed if I walked into Zara or H&M and there was nothing new. I didn’t think about where the clothes came from or how they were made. I only thought about models, celebrities and what they were wearing.” But that changed. “I didn’t wake up one day and decide to alter my ways, it’s been a long process, years of learning and slowly changing my habits,” she says. “These days, I want to wear clothing that is beautiful but that also reflects my values.”

“Walking through Nan Province in north-eastern Thailand, we stumbled across a workshop making hand-woven clothes,” Gab says. “Everything was made from scratch, from growing the cotton, dyeing and weaving it. We spent over an hour just playing dress-ups with the women at the workshop. It was a wonderful experience.”

WHAT DO YOU HOPE TO ACHIEVE?

“We’d love to get people thinking about where their clothes come from and to start demanding better working and environmental conditions from brands,” Gab says. “If we can reach a few people and show them a different way to shop and engage with fashion, that would be excellent.”

WHAT DID YOU DISCOVER?

“If anything, this journey has made me fall more in love with fashion,” says Megan. “The work that goes into each garment is clea. But I can’t wait to get out of my cargo pants and experiment again.”

WHAT WAS THE HARDEST PART?

“Some days it was the giant mud puddles, other days the fear of a cockroach crawling into your ear,” Megan says. “We crossed an entire sub-continent on foot and didn’t speak any of the languages.

INTERVIEW

FROM SELLING HOTDOGS AS A TEEN RUNAWAY, MAZ SALT HAS BECOME A FORCE IN MELBOURNE’S BAR SCENE

M

az Salt’s first taste of the hospitality business was in King’s Cross. It was the mid-1980s and The Cross was not the fashionable place it is today. Maz was 14 and had run away from home with a backpack and $5.

“I hitchhiked with a Yugoslavian taxi driver who emptied his money belt and gave me all the change he had,” he says. “I slept in parks and doorways around Circular Quay. ‘‘One night I walked past a hotdog stand in The Cross and a guy working there offered me a hotdog. I stayed for a few hours and ended up with a job. Selling hotdogs to hookers, transvestites and drunken yobbos was my first hospitality experience.”

It was an inauspicious start for a man who would go on to become a key driver of Melbourne’s booming laneway bar culture. Now the owner of four eateries and bars, including the groundbreaking Section 8, built from a shipping container dropped into a disused city car park, Maz has built a reputation as an innovator. He describes his brand as ‘‘ramshackle but sincere’’.

Maz spent his early years in Carlton, but moved to Istanbul with his father at seven after his mother died. His father taught Middle-Eastern politics at a Turkish university and Maz was transported to an ivy-clad private school overlooking the Bosphorus.

“After mum’s death, I became a handful and dad wanted to get me out of Australia,” he says.

He spent nine years travelling between Istanbul, Melbourne, Sydney and Noosa. “Dad wanted me to finish high school but I exhausted a lot of options – school didn’t gel with me,” Maz says.

At 17, he moved to Glasgow and by 21 he was back in Turkey and married. The couple moved to Melbourne. “I thought it was time to start being serious,” Maz says. He studied economics at RMIT and moved into corporate finance. But he hated it.

“One morning I was walking along St Kilda Road in my suit with an overwhelming feeling that something wasn’t right.’’

So his life underwent another seismic shift. His marriage ended, and he spent a couple of years working at beachside restaurants in Noosa.

“The hospitality world was where I was most comfortable,” he says. “From a hotdog stand to working in restaurants shucking oysters to nightclubs, there’s something about the lifestyle and camaraderie.”

In 2006, he decided to strike out on his own, investing his $15,000 savings into what is now Section 8. His shoestring budget meant he had to repurpose a shipping container as toilets.

Today, the former car park in Tattersalls Lane is a quirky and popular spot to enjoy a beer and live music. The space is decorated with street art and stacked wooden pallets serve as seating and tables.

It’s a venue for this year’s Melbourne Music Week Zoo Laneway Party, featuring live music from First Nations artist and indigenous activist Briggs.

After Section 8, Maz opened the The B.East burger bar in East Brunswick, and Ferdydurke in 2012 – the same weekend his second child arrived.

“I had a Turkish restaurant where The B.East is now. It cost a bomb and after some stress I shut it down and rebuilt. My bank balance was down to $3000 but I’ve always had this unshakeable belief that if you keep trying you will get there,” he says.

PI C T U R E ● DA N I E L P O C K E T T

Maz describes Ferdydurke – named after a Polish novel – as a more intimate space, with a New York vibe. In 2015, he opened Belleville – a Bohemian bar inspired by a trip to Paris to see his older sister.

They visited a ramshackle bar in an old warehouse, and he has tried to replicate its charm at Belleville with indoor plants, jazz, abstract murals and an unadorned industrial interior.

“There is a genuine multiculturalism in Paris,” Maz says. “Africans hanging out with Arabs, hanging out with Americans and Russians. It’s in the bars that people mingle.”

He travels regularly to check out bar and cafe culture globally – Berlin is his favourite place.

Earlier this year, he did a road trip through the southern US, taking in New Orleans and Mardi Gras. “I bought the best BBQ ribs from a dude on the street in New Orleans. I had hot tamales for the first time in the home of the blues.” ● ZOO LANEWAY PARTY \ Section 8 and Ferdydurke will host the ZOO Laneway Party for Melbourne Music Week from 2pm on November 25.

Anybody with even a passing interest in quality booze won’t have missed the explosion in craft gin in recent years. The number of Australian gin distillers alone has grown from about 20 in 2014 to more than 100. If the rapidly soldout Juniperlooza gin festival at South Wharf this Saturday is anything to go by, our thirst for gin is still a long way from being quenched.

Steven Carr from the Riverland Group, which launched Juniperlooza in 2015, says the 1600 tickets to this year’s festival sold out in record time. “The whole interest in gin has coincided with a shift in the approach to drinking that’s now more about quality over quantity,” he says. “Gin expresses a sense of place ... and the use of indigenous Australian ingredients has really sparked people’s interest.”

All but three of the producers at Juniperlooza are Australian, including Patient Wolf, made in Brunswick. Matt Argus, the brand’s co-founder and co-distiller (with Dave Irwin) says from the time they started experimenting with a tiny “stovetop” still, they wanted to give their gin a distinctly Aussie flavour profile.

“We use 10 different botanicals,” he says. “The gin’s juniper-forward but we’ve also created something unique using aniseed myrtle, Australian coriander seed and organic ruby grapefruit and oranges that we buy locally.”

With 65 per cent of Juniperlooza tickets snapped up by women aged 25-35, gin’s fan base appears to skew young. It could be its “moment” has just begun. ●

Let’s party like it’s nineteen-ninety-something. Take That are touring, Winona Ryder’s back on our screens and everyone’s talking about Donovan Cooke’s lastest gastronomic temple. Together with ex-wife Philippa Sibley, Donovan dominated this city’s fine dining scene in the late ’90s with a trio of award-winning restaurants: Est Est Est, Luxe and Ondine. After a break cooking in Hong Kong and at Atlantic at Crown, he’s back running his own show (with business partner, Alex Law).

Not that there’s anything retro about the new Ryne. With its sand-blasted walls and soaring ceiling, the 60-seat dining room oozes 2017 style. So too the techniquefocused menu, offered as two courses for $65, three for $80 or seven for $150.

You might start with an entree of slow-cooked marron with pea panna cotta that’s as bright and beautiful in the mouth as it is on the plate, and follow with a main of blushing smoked duck breast spiked with intense flavours of liquorice. But whatever you do, don’t miss dessert – the decadent Valrhona chocolate souffle with three tastes of raspberry (sauce, sorbet and fresh berries) is set to be a classic. ●

EDDIE PERFEC T’S VIVID WHITE

Eddie Perfect’s eagerly awaited follow-up to The Beast launches at MTC this week.

We spoke to one of the leads, Brent Hill, about what to expect.

What is Vivid White all about? At the core, it’s about two white, middle-class couples who suddenly come to a realisation that they’re frogs in a boiling pot. It’s about dealing with the mundanities of everyday life while the world is falling apart around us. With music.

Does it go to the same dark places as The Beast? It’s pretty dark, but I think it deals with those things in a fun fashion ‌ it’s a play with songs.

But it’s not a musical? I think when you call something a musical that comes with certain connotations. A lot of musicals have a certain falseness, when what this does is come from a place of truth. �

V E R IT Y H U N T- BA L L A R D & B R E N T H I L L

Is it based on real life experiences? The conflict arises from two couples bidding for the same house. I think Eddie was actually in that situation, where he went to an auction where a close friend was also bidding. We’re interested in what that does to their friendship.

Bonjour Coco

P

eople walk through those wrought-iron gates and it’s like they’re transported to a village in France; no passport needed!”

Second-generation French-Australian Laura Rancie is reminiscing, with only slight exaggeration, about the warm spring days of past years’ Paris to Provence festivals in the gardens of South Yarra’s elegant National Trust property Como House.

“It’s a whimsical, tangible, really French experience,” she says. “You hear French people speaking, eat French food, listen to French music, as you wander around the nooks and crannies of Como’s gardens.”

Laura poured her longing for a connection with her French heritage – her family is Provencale – into the first Paris to Provence festival seven years ago at Abbotsford Convent.

She anticipated a charming little affair then, with 50 French exhibitors and stalls. “I remember saying,

C O C O AT C O M O

FRANCINE SCHAEPPER

“

‘wouldn’t it be great if 1000 people came’,” she says.

“Well, we got 5000, and now we have about 14,000 and 74 exhibitors. But we’ll never have any more than that; I don’t want it to get too big. It has to be like you’re a tourist in a little pop-up village.”

Usually the festival stops at Como House’s grand entrance but this year it will also extend indoors, for a rare glimpse into the legacy of French fashion’s most famous daughter: Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel.

“I had the idea to recreate Mademoiselle’s life story,” Laura says. “I’m really excited the National Trust gave us access.”

Tours of an ambitious installation, Coco at Como, will be guided by French blogger Caroline Vosse through Como’s rooms including the gobsmackingly gorgeous ballroom of mirrors and crystal chandeliers.

With some of Melbourne’s most passionate Chanel connoisseurs, Laura has curated vintage

couture ensembles including hats, jewellery, handbags, photographs, music and film to track the designer’s life from her early childhood in a Catholic orphanage, her youth as a seamstress by day and cabaret singer by night, to her career zenith, lived out in an opulent Parisian apartment on Rue Cambon.

Laura commissioned antiques-and-art consultant Anton Venoir to recreate Coco’s taste for elaborate Louis XV and XVI furnishings. She called on vintage fashion dealers Richard Gilbert and Dean

Hewitt to explore Coco’s fashion legacy, especially the designs and motifs that still echo in every House of Chanel collection today.

“There are traditions that continue her story [in modern collections] but in fresh and innovative ways,” says Richard, who owns vintage handbag specialist The Upstyler, and recently bought Melbourne’s tiny, but legendary, vintage couture shop Madame Virtue. “Traditions like the crosses

that refer to her life in a Christian orphanage, the interlocking Cs, the lions [because she was a Leo], and the quilted leather.”

Vintage fashion consultant Dean Hewitt, who recently sold Madame Virtue to Richard, says original garments from Coco’s life are too rare and precious to be included. “You mostly see them in museums or selling for fabulous prices at Christies and Sotheby’s.”

But he has composed the next-best thing; more than 30 Chanel ensembles, “little black dresses” and gowns, sourced from private collections and archives around the world, faithfully evoking Coco’s early work. “Chanel gave us so many fashions that are still around,” Dean says. “She gave us that relaxed style for instance; the menswear jersey that was seen as so vulgar and low-class then but now is so iconic, so important.” ● JANICE BREEN BURNS PARIS TO PROVENCE \ Como House & garden, November 24-26.

o me, a tropical beach has always meant somewhere to laze about in a bikini, stirring only occasionally to splash in the water or to reach into my bag for a snack. This morning though, the stretch of Cooya Beach on which I’m standing with a group of other eager visitors is a hunting ground and if we don’t learn how to hit a stationary coconut with a bamboo spear we won’t be eating anything – snack-sized or otherwise.

It might sound like an episode of Survivor, Survivor but spear practice marks the beginning of the Kuku Yalanji Coastal Beach and Mangrove Walk, led by Linc Walker, a Kuku Yalanji Bama man whose

father’s family has lived in the area for generations.

The availability of the tours, led by Linc and his brother Brandon, depends on tides and seasons.

Their main aim is to introduce visitors to the beach, mangrove and coastal ecosystems of the region, which is nestled between the resorts of Port Douglas and the World Heritage-listed Daintree Rainforest.

Spears aloft and alert, we wade through water so warm it could be a natural spa. Ahead of us, Linc suddenly reaches into the water for a tiny puffer fish so calm it doesn’t bother with the usual defensive move of inflating itself.

speak. Any splashing on our part sends them scuttling under clouds of sand and seaweed.

“Looks like you’ll have to be a vegetarian today,” Linc jokes as my I miss yet another one despite frantic dance moves to try to spear it without stabbing my own feet.

Fortunately, other holidaymakers are better coordinated, and by the end of the two-hour walk Linc is carrying a bucket full of the crabs.

Back at his mum’s house, we’re treated to freshly baked damper and muffins before hoeing into the catch of the day. As we crack the boiled crab shells and bite into their dense flesh flavoured with chilli and vinegar, Linc continues his show-and-tell session with the aid of tusks, shells, seedpods and carapaces strewn across a table.

He adds the stingray barb to the collection, explaining that it is used in traditional spears.

Given today’s performance, I don’t think I’m ready to use one of those just yet but I’ll certainly be back to try catching lunch next time I’m in this very special part of our country. ● KUKU YALANJI CULTURAL HABITAT TOURS

Silly season survival guide

a

s the silly season fast approaches, we’re all preparing for the onslaught of Christmas parties, Friday-night drinks, festive food and inevitable family bickering. With all this socialising comes a lot of indulgence and, more often than not, alcohol.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I love a beer with friends or a glass of red as much as most. But during the festive season it’s important to make sure things don’t spiral out of control.

It’s all too easy to convince ourselves that we only drink on “special occasions”. But it’s important to remember that a Friday is not a special occasion.

We need to be a little more selective.

28

T H E W E E K LY R E V I E W

Keep in mind the recommended alcohol intake for men and women is no more than two standard drinks a day, so if you’re sharing a bottle of wine each night with your partner and more over the weekend, you’re going well over. If it’s the Christmas party blowout, well …

Here are a couple of reasons why you should try to limit your alcohol intake this silly season: WEIGHT GAIN \ If you have alcohol in your system,

it is prioritised as fuel and will be burnt before your body burns any fat. To make matters worse, if you indulge in some hot chips after a few too many cocktails, they’re far more likely to go straight to

C H E E RS T O G O O D H E A LT H

your fat stores, as your body will still be trying to burn off those after-work espresso martinis.

CHANGE IN BEHAVIOUR \ Alcohol interferes with

LIVER FUNCTION \ Drinking too much too often

can result in a fatty liver, which can affect your liver function and even cause permanent damage.

KIDNEY FUNCTION \ Alcohol is a diuretic, which

means your kidneys have to work harder than normal to remove toxins from your bloodstream.

They also maintain the right balance of water in your body. When alcohol dehydrates your body, it can affect your kidneys’ ability to do this.

Now you know why you should limit your alcohol intake, let’s look at some simple strategies to help you achieve this:

PICK AND CHOOSE \ The reality is you will have social events you want to enjoy with a glass or two.

Try not to overdo it. Pick and choose those events you’ll drink at and others where you won’t.

ALTERNATE ALCOHOL WITH WATER \ Alcohol

dehydrates you, so follow every glass of booze with a glass of water. This will help keep you hydrated and can also reduce the amount of alcohol you consume.

CAROLINE SAYS …

CA R O LI N E PE A R C E & M E LI S SA Y UA N

KYLIE THOMSON

I’ve been at Fintona since year 5. I have three sisters here, one older and two younger.

My dad has always had lots of computers and technology. So I got really interested in that and started playing Minecraft, in which I loved building and making everything perfect.

In Ms Yuan’s digital technology class, we get to choose the things we are interested in.

I’m building a game using GameMaker. It’s a working title, but it’s called Zonky’s Adventures. It’s similar to Mario, in that you have to overcome obstacles to move forward in the game. I’ve designed most of the characters and I’m just about to start coding it.

I prepare my work outside of class. Ms Yuan puts things on the school intranet so I always make sure I’m across it and review it before I come to class.

I’m really excited about undertaking the Australian Mathematics Trust’s DigIT program. I’ll be working with about 60 other students and get to go on camps in the school holidays.

It starts in the summer of next year and goes for six months and we get to work on projects with mentors.

Ms Yuan has shown us that information technology is more than just working with a computer; it’s also about problem solving and the way you go about it.

When I finish school, I would like to study IT, but I might also study corporate law.

My dream when I was really young was to create something like Facebook or Instagram, so that’s what I want to do. ●

MELISSA SAYS ….

I worked in the IT industry before I became a teacher. I started before the internet and before the tech bubble, so I’ve been able to work on a lot of firsts. I was an IT program manager for online and apps.

There were lots of reasons I wanted to become a teacher. Both my parents and three of my grandparents were in education, so it’s in the blood.

This is my second year teaching, my first at Fintona.

I really love teaching IT because there’s always something new.

If you’ve done the same thing for the past five years in technology, then it’s not going to work. Next year we’ll have a new version of the GameMaker program we use in class, and the year after that we’ll have something else.

I encouraged students, including Caroline, Student to take part in the Australian Mathematics wellbeing Trust’s challenge.

he council building inspector in Mudgee was so impressed by Scott Cam’s shed that he wanted to live in it. The vast purpose-built shed on Scott’s cattle station is where he hangs out when he’s not filming The Block.

“It has all the gear and nuts and bolts you need on a working property,” says Scott proudly. “I rebuilt the house a couple of years ago and rebuilt the shed as stage two. It has mustering gear and motorbikes, six machinery bays and a full workshop with a loading ramp. There’s a tack room and I put in a mezzanine floor so there’s accommodation upstairs.

I love that shed more than a honeymoon suite.”

Scott also has a shed at his Sydney home, from where he used to run his building business.

“It’s a time capsule from that time in my life,” he says. “I potter there at least once a week. It’s my chill-out space where I fix a few things, have a beer.”

Scott’s love for the great Aussie shed inspired him to ask Australians to share pictures and stories about their own sheds in a new book, Scotty’s Top Aussie Sheds.

“For many people, their shed is an extension of their home,” he says. “My father had a shed and that’s where I started on the tools. He was from a family of professional fishermen, but he built everything in our house. All that ingenious untrained work came out of the shed downstairs in the garage.

“We just sold that family home and the shed is no more, but it’s a terrific place in my memory.

“But I worry that sheds are under threat. These days, that space might be taken up with kids’ play spaces – tell them to get their own shed. Or guest bedrooms – tell them to stay in a motel. I want to make sheds great, make them essential and make them loved again.”

JF Renaudin of Design a Shed in Fairfield says while some sheds are simply a place to store “stuff”, about half his customers want to create a special space. “It might be a place to store their stamp collection or to write their memoirs. One customer retired and wanted a shed for his electric train set.”

He says the first step to getting the perfect shed is to think carefully about how it will be used.

“Is it somewhere to tinker with an old motorcycle?

Will it be a quiet place to read or be a home office?

Are there specific things to go in it, like a workbench or maybe an old desk inherited from your grandfather?”

Such specifics affect the length of walls and

great, and make them loved again.”

You can also personalise a shed with unusual or vintage doors or leadlight windows – he recently used doors from a Balinese temple. To minimise fuss, keep a shed under 10 square metres as, in most cases, this does not require council approval. ● SARAH MARINOS

he Mills is a new collection of inner-city residences designed for urban professionals: contemporary townhouses with industrial styling, laneway connectivity and a focus on social spaces and lifestyle.

The precinct has a strong design connection to the paper mills heritage of YarraBend, a sustainably designed, visionary new riverside neighbourhood with a 300-metre frontage to the Yarra River. Just 6.5 kilometres from the CBD, YarraBend is Melbourne’s largest urban renewal project since Docklands.

The Mills will be a short walk from YarraBend’s future health and wellness centre, cosmopolitan food precinct and four parks. Beyond, YarraBend connects to walking and cycle trails in riverside parklands.

Developer Glenvill engaged internationally-acclaimed DKO Architecture to design The Mills. Director Raymond Mah says DKO has created industriallystyled mews residences connected by intimate landscaped pedestrian and cycle laneways with separate rear car access.

The three-storey houses will have refined industrial facades, finished in smooth metal. Sawtooth rooflines and angled roofs will reference the paper mills that once occupied the site. There is an emphasis on connecting indoors and outdoors.

“We see the future home owners as people who want to entertain – we are giving them rooftop terraces with views of leafy parks or the shared landscaped spaces outside and lifestyle facilities immediately beyond,” Raymond says.

The initial release of 19 three-storey townhouses includes two and threebedroom layouts with rooftop terraces and garages. ●

Instead, with the press of a button, I’ve been propelled into a light-filled living area, from where I gaze through a kitchen window out to a beautiful garden with a circular bridge wrapped around a soaring tree.

Virtual reality has blazed into the architectural and design space via Destination Living, one of Melbourne’s leading builders of custom-designed homes. The business has acquired breakthrough technology that offers a fully immersive and integrated design environment that allows the user to navigate a simulated space in 4D sequence.

The company’s clients can move from zone to zone, experiencing actual scale, proportion, angles, levels and furniture, down to the tiniest joint.

Each animated environment can be made as

simple or as texturally detailed as required, and viewer feedback on design and construction can be responded to in real time.

Objects and systems can be prototyped on the fly and videos and photos of real landscapes uploaded into the program. Even variable lighting conditions are available, moving from day into night mode, complete with stars.

The program helps architects and designers communicate, with even the most spatially challenged client, in a way never before possible, says Destination Living’s co-founder and practice manager, Michael Costa.

Floor plans and elevations are no longer confined to a 2D plane; they can be “walked through” from concept to completion.

“This is phenomenal as a product,” Michael says.

“It’s arguably the best program available in virtual reality for the construction industry. It offers value

for the client, architect and interior designer.”

Virtual reality works by tricking your brain into thinking you are in a 3D world. The Destination Living program projects users as avatars into the visualised space through a teleport function.

Michael says users don the virtual reality headset,

then push a button on a remote control to project a symbol of a man onto the space they want to explore. When the button is released, the user is virtually transported to that spot. They can then virtually walk around inside the whole house.

The breakthrough technology allows changes to be made during a design critique with clients, Michael says. For example, during a recent consultation, it became evident that the placement

of a wall in a home would not work. “We swapped it for a dwarf wall (one that is less than full height).

The architect jumped on the computer and changed it, it was instantaneous. The client was effectively in the house as it was being designed.”

The program has even changed how the Destination Living team works, Michael says. “It is a benefit to the client, but the really big spin-off, one that we did not expect, is the benefit to the team.”

“Often you come into interiors when the architecture is resolved. The advantage of the headset is that the architect barely draws the floor plate and we convert it into virtual reality.

“The interior designer can come in and say, ‘no, that’s not what I understand’, so the collaboration, the development of the product, is so much better.

“The big thing for us is about ownership and having all the people who are involved in a product be completely vested.” ● MIRANDA TAY

\ PHOTOGRAPHER

New York, Italy, France, back to New York; a typical itinerary for Robyn Lea can be so punishingly glamorous, her elegant Armadale home must be a haven more precious than most.

“The first thing I do when I get home is give our children, Issy and Freddie, the biggest hugs in the world,” says the internationally renowned author and photographer. “Then I’m like a mother bird returning to the nest.”

A decade ago, Robyn and husband Tim – also a frequent traveller for work – were seduced by their stately Victorian’s “happy history” and “good bones”, and by the magnificent magnolia spreading its creamy flowers across the back lawn.

These days the house is renovated to a light and airy modernity, and Robyn’s quirky taste in decor and collectables from around the world adds to an atmosphere of sophisticated and cosy warmth.

Robyn shoots and writes for publishers here and the US: lush books that capture the romance of cities such as Paris, Venice and Milan, or celebrate famous artists’ lifestyles and recipes. Her latest, Dinner with Georgia O’Keeffe: Recipes, Art & Landscape (Assouline, $50), is in bookstores. ●

HOUSE OF THE WEEK EAST MELBOURNE \ 40 GEORGE STREET 2

ou could enjoy your very own Jane Austen fantasy in this tasteful terrace in East Melbourne. It was built in 1868 but looks just like the kind of Georgian beauty in which Persuasion’s Anne Elliott might have palely languished, mourning her broken engagement.

“Oh, Captain Wentworth!” Would she ever see his riding boots again striding the pavement above her flowery bower, unable – unwilling! – to see that she loved longest, even when all hope was gone?

These days the lovers would be probably be Dr Elliott and Dr Wentworth, in this neighbourhood beloved by medicos and handy for the major hospitals.

The two-storey house is one of a sturdy, rendered-brick pair named Cephas (meaning “rock” in Aramaic). With an iron-railed staircase leading down to a sunken entry, it resembles some of the grand terraces of 18th century London and Bath.

A living room, two dining areas, an interior and outdoor kitchen, and two first-floor bedrooms make this a home of distinction for a couple or small family.

In-bloom white roses soften the steep descent from the street, which ends in a fragrant, white-paved courtyard.

The gated entry leads straight into the living room, which is cool and elegant in white, with a metal and glass chandelier and striped curtains above French doors to the courtyard. The brick open fireplace is original.

Step through to the timber-floored dining room and get lost in Austen, or perhaps Wedgwood; the crockery alcove is Jasper-ware blue.

The kitchen and meals area are next to each other.

The calacatta marble kitchen has St George and Euroart appliances. Mullioned glass doors lead to the north-facing pergola and a luxurious garden filled with roses and lilies.

It’s a beautiful spot for indoor-outdoor lounging. The barbecue kitchen has power, a Gasmate grill, a sink and room for a fridge.

In the house’s extended rear are a combined study and powder room.

The first floor has two double bedrooms with wardrobes. The larger opens north to a balcony and has a subway-tiled en suite with a shower above the bath. The front bedroom has an en suite with a shower.

The property has cooling and hydronic heating. ● ALISON BARCLAY property@domain.com.au AGENT \ Jellis Craig 9328 8388 PRICE \ $2.5 million AUCTION \ December 2 at 11am

rchitect Phillip Mannerheim specialises in grand designs built predominantly in Melbourne’s inner east. For this brand new Kew house, he’s chosen a neo-classical exterior – a stately facade that sets the tone for the sprawling floor plan behind a pair of timber and wrought-iron french doors.

Party planners will appreciate this residence for two reasons: a basement floor almost entirely dedicated to entertainment, and a Hamptons-style summer room that breaks away from the main living area and adjoins the pool.

There is an eight-car garage, as well as a lift and concealed staircase.

The house has a home cinema with plush armchairs, an enormous billiards room, bar, and wine cellar (plus a gymnasium for those who enjoy a workout).

The entertainment zone is primed to be just as appealing. The summer room sits at the rear of the ground floor, around the corner from the kitchen and family room.

Styled to mimic Long Island’s famed beach mansions, it’s bright and airy with tiled floors and high ceilings. Bifold doors open it up on three sides.

Next door there’s a wet bar – handy for hosts who fancy trying out a little Cocktail drink mixing.

Large windows that let in ample natural light are a feature of the house, even along the hallway, where huge glass panes complement the luxury interiors with garden views.

The Miele kitchen has a massive marble island, as well as a butler’s pantry.

There’s a second living area at the front of the house, along with a study and guest bedroom with en suite.

European oak detailing warms up the snow-white walls, and pale travertine tiles alternate with the timber floors.

Upstairs, there are four well-appointed bedrooms, but parents get the sweetest deal: a retreat complete with balcony, two dressing rooms and walk-in wardrobes and double en suite.

The property is close to Cotham Road and Kew’s trams, with cafes, parklands and schools an easy walk away. ● ERIN MUNRO property@domain.com.au

A clever layout with a central kitchen framed by two living spaces is this house’s finest asset. Built by thirdgeneration builders, it has clearly benefited from much attention to its design.

At the heart of the house, the light-filled chef’s kitchen has granite benchtops, European stainless-steel appliances and a butler’s pantry. It overlooks an L-shaped backyard that includes a garden, bright blue plunge pool, and courtyard, adding a leafy, landscaped view to the mix.

On one side of the kitchen is the open-plan family zone; to the other is the formal lounge. White walls and black joinery complement honey-hued floorboards.

French doors in the family and dining areas blur the line between indoors and out. At the front of the ground floor, the main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and en suite and a study opposite.

Sliding doors give way to a deck offering plenty of space to look out over the pool, quarter basketball court and lowmaintenance back garden. On the top floor, the main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe worthy of Sex and the City’s Carrie Bradshaw, plus en suite. Opposite is another bedroom, also with en suite.
