So it turns out there is a softer side to Broncos hooker Andrew McCullough. The Dalbybred player, speaking to Rikki-Lee Arnold (P6) on the eve of his long-awaited State of Origin debut, says meeting his now-wife Carlie prompted him to act for the good of others – from helping to clean up our oceans to adopting cats from the RSPCA. It’s a touching portrait of an on-field force and recommended reading ahead of the first match of the series on Wed, June 6, at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

We’ve also got non-sports fans covered this week with stylish winter fashion (peach is big, people – see P18), headturning house plants (P19) and comfort food in the form of meatballs from the private recipe collection of Brisbane’s Gambaro family (P22).

Enjoy the issue.

THE CHAT

Made with passion Fiona Purdon The artist behind popular Brisbane homewares brand A Boy Named Aaron includes a special ingredient in every handcrafted product.

“All the designs come from my heart and soul,’’ says Aaron Darcy.

The New Farm artist, known for his tribal-look pieces, has a growing fanbase around the country and the world with orders pouring in from the US, Japan and Europe.

The 37-year-old paints, illustrates, embellishes, carves and embroiders in full view of customers at the James St shop in Fortitude Valley he shares with other makers.

“People can watch while I create art in front of them. It shows people how much heart and passion I have,’’ says Aaron, who moved to Brisbane from the Gold Coast for the city vibe and to reach a bigger audience.

His trademark crosses, anchors, diamonds, rainbows and hearts are all hand pressed or painted on a diverse collection of products including pillow cases, chairs, wall hangings and door stops. Natural materials such as wood, grass fibres, beads, shell, coral and clay are Aaron’s preferred mediums.

“All the products are sustainable and ethically sourced which is really important to me,’’ he says.

Trips to exotic locations offer inspiration for the designer who particularly loves India’s henna patterns, and the festive colours and folk art of Mexico.

Next on the agenda is a range of stationery and dog accessories – and Aaron will have the ideal model in

Rufus, the rescue kelpie he adopted with partner James Hillier, aka Nordacious, who is also an artist.

“It’s lovely because I can bring my pet to work and it’s great to have that energy around me,’’ says Aaron, who jogs with Rufus around New Farm.

“I’ve recently lost 20kg. I started going to the gym to support a friend – she soon left, but I kept going.’’

Brisbane-born Aaron, who spent most of his childhood and adult years on the Gold Coast, says art has also been therapeutic, especially after he experienced a “lull in my life’’ several years ago. He was influenced from a young age by his artist mother Jan. “I learnt a lot of basic drawing skills from my mum and she has been a great mentor to me,’’ he says.

His first job, working in administration for a Gold Coast legal firm, confirmed that he was destined for a different life.

“I soon realised that the suit and tie option was not my vibe. I’ve been creative all my life and I felt imprisoned in an office,’’ he says.

Seven years ago Aaron decided to act on his “calling to create art’’, having previously focused on interior design and magazine work.

“I felt I had to do something which was fulfilling so I decided to create a brand which would be about handson products. It has meant absolute creative freedom. It’s exciting to answer your own creative urge.’’

06 COVER STORY

Origins of a comeback king It’s been quite a year for Andrew McCullough, with his Byron Bay wedding, injury woes and, this week, his big State of Origin debut Rikki-Lee Arnold On the rugby league field, Andrew McCullough has earned a reputation as one of the toughest and gutsiest players in the game.

But away from the lights of Suncorp Stadium, the Broncos star has another side to him.

Since he made his NRL debut in 2008, Andrew – who will also make his long-awaited State of Origin debut tonight – has discovered the kind of influence he has as an athlete and how to put that to good use.

He tries to give back wherever he can, whether it’s through his role as an RSPCA ambassador or by combining forces with Parley, a global ocean sustainability organisation.

When Adidas approached Andrew – an ambassador for the sporting brand – to promote the work of Parley in protecting the oceans from plastic waste, he jumped at the chance.

He says it’s also because of his wife, Carlie McCullough, whom he married in Byron Bay at the beginning of this year.

Carlie’s mother works with the RSPCA and he says together they have shown him the best way to help others.

“It’s more drilled into me from my

partner and her mother,” he says of his humanitarian side.

“I didn’t have any RSPCA cats before I met Carlie. Now I have two.

And a bulldog (named Daisy). That was always bound to happen.

“She’s always giving me ideas and wanting to know if I want to come help with things.

“It’s something I’m very passionate about … It’s not a chore. I like being able to help out as best I can.”

Andrew met Carlie in 2014 through former Broncos teammate and Queensland halfback Ben Hunt and his now wife, Bridget. He says Bridget did all the “dirty work” for him in getting Carlie’s number and he has never looked back.

“She gives me a great balance,” he says of Carlie. “She’s very supportive.

“For instance, last year I was out (injured) for a while with my knee and not the best person to be around. She was always helping me and getting me stuff and keeping me up when I was down. You don’t get that motivation to get back to the game as quickly without those partners supporting you. You find out you’ve got a great partner when you go through those tough times.”

But Andrew has long felt the influence of strong women throughout his life.

While Carlie and her mother Phillipa Norton may have helped him build up his charitable side, it’s his own mother, Wendy McCullough, who taught him how to be grateful.

Wendy will no doubt be in the crowd in Melbourne tonight when Andrew wears the Maroons jersey for the first time.

She and her husband Graham often travel from their hometown of Dalby whenever Andrew plays at his Brisbane home ground.

And the proud parents will have been waiting for his moment in the Origin arena for as long as he has.

“She makes me realise I don’t need more to be happy”

But, in all those years of watching Cameron Smith dominate in the Queensland No.9 jersey, Andrew was just grateful for what he did have, thanks to his mum.

“She makes me grateful for what I do have and makes me realise I don’t need more to be happy,” Andrew says of Wendy before his Origin call-up.

“I have a beautiful wife, I’m healthy, I have great friends, a great job … she makes me realise not every kid gets to do that. That’s something I continue to tell myself time after time.

“That’s what she instilled in me … and to be the best and most polite CONTINUED NEXT PAGE

FROM PREVIOUS PAGE person you can be to everyone you meet. And to keep my elbows off the table.”

As for his resilience, that was a lesson he learnt from his grandmother, Elma McCullough.

Andrew was praised earlier this season for returning three weeks early from an elbow injury. But when asked where that toughness came from, the Brisbane hooker said it was thanks to Elma, who died in 2010.

Elma was a single mother who raised Andrew’s dad Graham and his uncle Trevor in the town of Tara, west of Dalby where Andrew grew up.

“Dad tells stories of what it was like for her to bring up two boys, a lot of the time by herself, in Tara,” he says.

“If anyone’s ever been to those areas, they would know what that would have been like.

“She worked at the pub and bowls club. She supported and got my Dad through a lot.

“For him to be the Dad he is today, that’s full credit to my Grandma.

“She gave him his toughness and his character as well.

“She got to see my debut (before she passed away),” Andrew says.

“Her favourite quote for me was to make sure I ran the ball up the middle and to try my best. That’s something I’ve always remembered.”

LIFE

09

Belinda Seeney I’m only interested in who wore what. Specifically, who wore it badly Watching red carpet arrivals is one of my guilty pleasures. I couldn’t care less who takes home an award or receives a standing ovation; I’m only interested in who wore what.

Specifically, who wore it badly.

It amazes me that with all their money and their access to designers and stylists, so many A-listers get it so spectacularly wrong.

Remember when Celine Dion got confused and wore her white satin tuxedo back-to-front at the Oscars?

Or the time Helena Bonham Carter stepped out in completely mismatched shoes? Poor Victoria Beckham couldn’t even get her arms through the right part of the sleeve the other week, rocking up to the royal wedding with her cuffs blowing in the breeze.

I have unshakeable confidence that I would never make such a couture clanger with the world’s eyes trained upon me. Oh no, every single one of my fashion faux pas has played out under the cover of darkness or the pretence of privacy.

A few weeks ago I was travelling through country Queensland, my accommodation one of two secluded cottages on a former farm.

I’d arrived after dark and my hosts – who lived in the farmhouse – insisted the sunrise was not one to miss. My alarm blasted me from my slumber in the pre-dawn light as I dutifully rose to catch the day breaking, checking my phone’s weather apps to discover the temperature outside my cosy cabin was hovering around 2C. The fire in my wood heater had not survived the night so the clothes I had laid out nearby were cool to the touch. Eyeing the outside darkness, then my warm pyjama and fluffy bed socks combination, I thought, “What the heck!”

I threw my grey pea coat over my glow-in-the-dark Ghostbusters top and pulled on my black leather knee boots, tucking in my plaid flannelette PJ pants to retain as much warmth as I could.

My running cap was pulled low

over my ears but what really made the ensemble pop was a spare handtowel repurposed as a scarf and wrapped around my exposed neck.

I crept outside, camera in hand to watch the sun’s rays creep over the mountainous horizon and project a kaleidoscope of colour across the vast rural expanse.

Snapping away I spied something creeping into my camera’s field of vision. It was the other cabin’s occupant, cruising slowly past me in his car, flicking me a friendly wave and an unmissable look of mirth.

Slightly shamed, I ducked and scampered to the other side of my cabin, crouching out of sight until his car was out of earshot.

I straightened – and found myself staring straight into the farmhouse’s kitchen window where my lovely host was pottering around, also waving at me.

“Come up to the house and join me for breakfast,” she trilled, pausing before adding: “Once you’re dressed, of course.”

It’s amazing the songs that I have in my head. Some have lain dormant there for decades. Then something triggers a memory and out they come.

This happened recently watching Gruen on ABC TV when panellist Russel Howcroft quoted a line from Mac Davis’s 1980 novelty song It’s Hard to be Humble. Immediately it was mentioned I started singing the chorus much to the bemusement of my son.

Oh Lord it’s hard to be humble / When you’re perfect in every way / I can’t wait to look in the mirror / Cause I get better looking each day / To know me is to love me / I must be a hell of a man / Oh Lord It’s hard to be humble, / But I’m doing the best that I can.

You remember it too, right?

It just came tumbling out like that from some obscure file deep, deep in my grey matter.

When I was young I listened to the radio all the time and then worked in a radio station where music was piped

into my office all day long so that certain songs became lodged in my brain. Sometimes it’s just songs or snatches of songs but sometimes it’s whole albums. I can sing every song, for example, from Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles and, for better or worse, I can recite all the lyrics from Over-nite Sensation the 1973 classic by Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention.

I must have listened to it a hundred times or more in my late teens and considering the state we were in at times, I’m surprised I remember any of it. It turns out I remember all of it and one of my colleagues is the same.

We do these Frank Zappa routines in the office, reciting lines from songs such as Camarillo Brillo a surreal number about a woman who “had a snake for a pet / And an amulet / And she was breeding a dwarf / But she wasn’t done yet”. You don’t know it?

You don’t want to? Oh well.

Sometimes remembering these

Phil Brown songs can be embarrassing like when you catch yourself singing along with I Am Woman and you find that you know all the words.

There’s so much in there including crazy stuff like I’ve Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts and The Goons’ Ying Tong Song which is delightful but utter nonsense.

I’ve got stuff in my cranium by Cliff Richard, The Doors, Charles Aznavour and a lot of old songs my father used to sing including Oh! My Papa and Blues in the Night and I also have some from his rather blue rugby songs album which I used to listen to as a kid but only when my parents were out.

My fave was The Ball of Kirriemuir which began … “Four-and-twenty virgins came down from Inverness …” and I think we better leave that one right there.

Soprano’s magical run Fiona Purdon Katie Stenzel is fast becoming a poster girl for Opera Queensland. The soprano will star in four upcoming productions, including the role of Valencienne in Graeme Murphy’s The Merry Widow this month.

“This year is the biggest year I’ve had performance-wise. This is what I’ve been working towards all my career,” she says.

Katie, of Corinda, says a highlight will be working with “Australian legend’’ Graeme on his vision for the “ultimate operatic rom-com’’, The Merry Widow.

“Graeme knows how to grab the most visually striking elements from the music and to engage the audience with every sense they have,’’ she says.

“He creates a visual feast to match the music. The production is truly evocative of old Hollywood and art deco with sumptuous and gorgeous costumes and opulent sets. It’s a real night out at the theatre.’’

The 1905 operetta by Austro-Hungarian composer Franz Lehar concerns rich widow Hanna (Natalie Christie Peluso) who is being charmed by the city’s officials so she will stay and wed locally, ensuring the region can benefit from her fortune.

Flirtatious Valencienne is the young wife of a baron who is being pursued by Count Camille de Rosillon to embark on an illicit affair.

“She is torn between commitment and this youthful and powerful infatuation,’’ Katie says.

After The Merry Widow Katie will tour regionally with Gilbert and Sullivan’s Ruddigore, playing Zorah, a professional bridesmaid, and appear in Brisbane Festival’s star-studded production of Peter Grimes.

“I was bowled over to be asked to be part of this enormous production because it will feature some big international stars,’’ she says.

Her biggest role of the year will be as Zerlina in Mozart’s Don Giovanni. “I love being able to perform these roles. You have to be really passionate about opera, it’s not easy and you learn a lot of persistence, determination and self-motivation.’’

Up the garden path Phil Brown

SUBURBAN BOY … Stephen Nothling’s This is My Path is an endearing everyday scene.

For a moment there I thought Stephen Nothling was getting deep and meaningful. There’s a work in his current exhibition at Woolloongabba Art Gallery entitled This is My Path.

The title sounds reflective, a tad Buddhist. Is it?

Nope. It’s just a painting of the little path from his back door to his studio, a path well trodden and one that he takes every day as he attends to his paintings. That does sound a bit Buddhist actually, a daily practice as meaningful as meditation to Stephen, one of Brisbane’s favourite painters.

We love his flowers, his still life works, his use of bric-a-brac and kitsch. There are some killer pieces in this show including paintings of ornate, not-that-tasteful vases, which are displayed (with flowers in them) alongside the paintings.

The artist says the people who buy the paintings will also get the vases.

Which sounds nice but actually, he just wants to get rid of them.

Nothling’s world is, he admits, small and it’s his attention to everyday detail that endears him to us. There are no epic landscapes, no tortured self-analysis. What you get is a celebration of the minutiae of life, even down to a painting of the spines of books.

There are birds (the birds who visit his Highgate Hill environs), fish, prawns, cans, dogs, dolls, pineapples and a work called A One Thousand Dollar Packet of Tim Tams. He was looking to paint something everyone loves, he says.

You could buy this particular packet for $1000 – no doubt the most expensive packet of Tim Tams you’ve ever bought. But it would be worth it and it’s really quite nutritious. For the senses, at least. What fun.

12 FILM

On the double Fiona Purdon Clayton Jacobson is surprised how often he is mistaken for his wellknown younger brother Shane.

“I got on a plane recently and I was asleep in economy. The stewardess saw I missed my meal and drink so she brought me what I missed and then told me how much her kids loved my show,’’ Clayton laughs. “So I said, ‘You mean my brother’s show’, and she did a double-take.’’

The actor-director, who lives on a country property near Whittlesea on Melbourne’s outskirts, says even family members get the brothers mixed up – especially now they both have beards.

“We were holidaying together and one of Shane’s children, who is four years old, got confused and for the first three to four days he kept calling me dad so I had to keep telling him: ‘I’m not your father’. I realised if Shane’s own children are confused then maybe there’s something in it.’’

Brothers’ Nest is Clayton’s first directorial effort since his smash hit comedy Kenny (2006), starring Shane in the title role as a portaloo plumber.

“The success of Kenny took us all by surprise,’’ says Clayton, 54.

“There hasn’t been a single day since the release of Kenny that I haven’t been trying to get a film up.

You get pigeonholed quickly and I became known as a comedy guy, but for my second film I never wanted to repeat myself.’’

Brothers’ Nest, in the style of dark comedies by America’s Coen brothers, has already piqued the interest of George Clooney and Ron Howard with representatives of the heavyhitters booking meetings with Clayton to discuss future projects.

In Brothers’ Nest Clayton plays dominant older brother Jeff while Shane is the more easygoing Terry.

The duo plan the “suicide” of their stepfather Rodger (Kym Gyngell) who is set to be the main beneficiary of their terminally-ill mother’s (Lynette Curran) will. When the family’s troubled history surfaces, the brothers’ plans go horribly wrong.

“Our characters are fools; their plot is ill-conceived,’’ he says.

“Not only is it the perfect film,

TWO OF A KIND … Clayton and Shane Jacobson in their new film Brothers’ Nest.

because it becomes darker and deeper as it progresses, but it is a chance for Shane and I to act together.”.

Clayton says it was natural that he and Shane would follow their show business parents’ footsteps.

TEA WITH THE DAMES (M) hhhhj Director: Roger Michell Starring: Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Eileen Atkins, Joan Plowright Running time: 83 minutes Tea with the Dames is a much more bracing experience than its mild, milky title suggests. Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Eileen Atkins and Joan Plowright might all be well into their 80s, but none of these formidable thespians has lost their appreciation for a strong and invigorating brew.

One of the joys – as well as the frustrations – of Roger Michell’s respectful but not overly reverential documentary is the wealth of material it (partially) unearths.

When Dench observes that she and Atkins might have “swung a bit early” in the ’60s, Michell teases moviegoers with a montage of some of their more indelible performances at the time.

The rest is pretty much left to our imaginations – although another jigsaw piece falls into place when Dench is later asked what advice she would give her younger self and she replies: “Try not to be so susceptible to

falling in love.” Perhaps gender plays a part here. Where the great male actors might have held court, their female counterparts hold back a little more.

This is an ensemble piece, not a monologue – which gives us a neat segue into the discussion surrounding the heady days of the National Theatre, founded by Plowright’s husband, Sir Laurence Olivier, a universally acknowledged limelight

hogger, in the early 1960s. The chemistry between Olivier’s Othello and Smith’s Desdemona is rendered even more electric by the backstage anecdotes that have preceded it.

Tea with the Dames is also a performance of sorts, and it’s fascinating to see the actors’ occasional discomfort at being asked to reveal themselves.

Smith is perhaps the most ill at ease

in this role. She is the wariest of Michell’s subjects. And the most brutally funny.

All four actors acknowledge the terror that is part of the job description.

“Fear is the petrol,” says Dench.

And despite their formidable screen and stage personas, each is candid about their self-doubt. Plowright and Atkins, for example, profess not to have had the courage to take on Cleopatra at all (as they admit, none of them is a conventional beauty.)

Smith appeared in a Canadian production to escape scrutiny. Dench initially refused the role, telling director Peter Hall her version would be a “menopausal dwarf”.

Tea with the Dames has an abundance of good lines, impeccably delivered. More surprising, perhaps, is the appreciative audience the actors provide for each other. Their laughter is hearty. And infectious.

Michell directs with a light, sure touch – as is to be expected from the man behind Notting Hill, and The Mother, Venus and Le Week-end: three films that eviscerate ageist stereotypes.

Funny, poignant, inspiring.

VICKY ROACH

FOOD + DRINK

Test of time RESTAURANT Tony Harper If longevity has any bearing on quality, Steve (Stefan) Ackerie’s Jo-Jo’s must have something quite special in its DNA. It was the early ’90s when I visited its city operation, possibly chasing cocktails, and even then, it had a decade or more behind it. Now the rather iconic restaurant has left its haunt on the corner of Queen and Albert streets, only to pop up again in South Brisbane, within a stone’s throw of the Skyneedle that Stefan – until recently – owned after it retired from Expo.

Memory is an unreliable asset, so I won’t attempt inaccurate comparisons. The new digs are spacious and airy – a massive warehouse, shared with Stefan’s furniture store The Bach Living, and kitted like a deluxe film set.

It’s decked out in shades of white and off-white – kind of Greek Islands meets subtropical Brisbane. And it seems to go on for ever: a large cobble-floored, colonnaded front room opening to the lofty space and uncountable tables to the rear. It’s slick and quite lovely, and timeless rather than contemporary.

My recollections of Jo-Jo’s in its previous life are of something quite casual. But the West End version makes me wonder – it’s sniperaccurate as far as service goes and even though it has a fairly relaxed demeanour, it’s a little smarter than I’d imagined. The empty beer-glass test didn’t get beyond the last puddle before another was offered.

JO-JO’S 170 Melbourne St, South Brisbane. Ph: 3221 2113 Chef: Jerry Sheeran Breakfast, Thu–Sun Lunch and dinner, daily Eftpos and major credit cards Vegetarian and gluten-free options Off-street (paid) parking SCORES OUT OF 10 Food: 6 Drinks: 7 Service: 8 Vibe: 8 And there’s a slick, cosseted feel to the experience from entry to exit.

Menu-wise things are safe and familiar with a nod to the season and another to the wide range of people who might enter its doors. Drinks tend to follow the same path but with a really nice scatter to the offering – some craft beers, some mainstream; some imported wines, loads of locals (sadly not a Queenslander amongst them) and a heap of cocktails. Wine and food both are kind of like a Seinfeld episode: quirky-enough, fun,

and safe for kids, aunties and in-laws.

What, for example, do you expect from an entree of spiced, fried chicken wings ($15)? I have in my head a plate of barbecue wings, with some type of chilli-based sauce. But out comes something the Colonel would drool over – a really good crumb coating (not at all oily) and a puddle of Sriracha mayonnaise. They are good.

Better, in fact, than a plate of beef cheeks ($30) – beautifully tender but accompanied by too-bland polenta.

A decent dish, but safe.

There are steaks, pizzas, a perfectly cooked piece of Atlantic salmon ($32) on too-plain risotto, and Lebanese chicken breast ($29, inset).

It’s a safe menu, but there’s quality in the dishes. Perhaps it’s that safety and the broad appeal of the menu that has allowed Jo-Jo’s to stand the test of time.

The new digs are great and the service faultless, so they know what they are doing and it’s safe to assume the culinary middle-ground is an intentional ploy.

Hothouse of ideas In her latest book, gardening guru Emma Sibley reveals her favourite house plants — and how to keep them happy and healthy Buying house plants can be addictive. You never seem to have enough and there is always room for one more. You will find plants that like to sit next to each other: ferns and calathea can be friends because they both like high humidity so will enjoy a good misting, and begonias do not like getting too much water on their leaves, so will prefer to be placed away from the ferns.

Use your hanging and trailing plants to break up your bookshelf or display them from a ceiling hook. It is always important to give each plant enough room to grow, as you don’t want the aerial roots from your giant monstera to start creeping into the pots of your smaller plants. Others like plenty of room to extend their long arms without obstruction.

When it comes to purchasing the right plant it is best to do it in person. There are a few online retailers now that can post plants straight to your door but, as convenient as this can be, I think it is best to visit your local nursery, garden centre or plant shop. You will then be able to pick out what you want from the selection and chat to the people who work there to make sure you are getting the right plant for your home.

A large collection is great but make sure you have suitable space and enough light to keep everyone happy.

20 AT HOME

1. LIPSTICK PLANT AESCHYNANTHUS LOBBIANUS An epiphyte used to trailing off trees in the jungles of Southeast Asia, the stems of the Lipstick Plant can grow up to 60cm long and will provide an unusual hanging plant in your home.

For best results, pot in a hanging basket to allow the thick, rubbery leaves and delicate flowers to hang freely, without being knocked. Quite often you will be able to purchase the Lipstick Plant when it is flowering, but in reality it is quite tricky to get these plants to flower every year. The best thing to do is to cut back the stems once the flowering season is over and this will entice more flowers the following year.

LIGHT: During the summer months keep your Lipstick Plant in a bright spot away from any direct sunlight.

A few hours of direct sun in winter is beneficial. Bright sun will encourage flowering during spring and summer.

WATER: Water thoroughly throughout spring and summer, allowing the compost to dry between waterings. Decrease watering during winter when the plant goes into dormancy. Water just enough so that the leaves do not start to crumple.

Mist the leaves regularly.

2. RATTLESNAKE PLANT CALATHEA LANCIFOLIA With its decorative and unusual leaf shape and pattern, the Rattlesnake Plant – native to the jungles of Brazil – will add a touch of the tropics to any home with its bright-green topside

leaves that contrast beautifully with the rich purple undersides. Just remember that this plant needs a rich and humid environment so try to recreate this as closely as possible.

LIGHT: Keep your Rattlesnake Plant in a shady spot with indirect sunlight, as too much sunshine can discolour the leaves, turning them brown and crispy. This plant does not like rapid changes of temperature and draughts, so try to keep the environment warm without being dry and do not allow the plant to get cold.

WATER: Your Rattlesnake Plant likes a good, humid environment. Through the summer months make sure that the compost is kept damp, and mist frequently. During winter, decrease the watering to once every two weeks as the plant will go into dormancy.

POTTING: Repot your Rattlesnake Plant once a year during spring when

The Rattlesnake Plant will add a touch of the tropics to any home the plant has outgrown its pot. The plant can also be divided at this time.

Just separate the stems into as many individual pots as you like.

3. MOTHER-OF-THOUSANDS SAXIFRAGA SARMENTOSA This is a complex-looking trailing plant with long, slender, hairlike runners that can reach up to 1m long and house miniature plants on the

2 ends. Ideally, plant it in a hanging pot to give it enough space so that the runners don’t get too tangled.

During the summer months you may also see some small, insignificant flowers gathering; however, the Mother-of-Thousands is grown mainly for its olive-green leaf pattern and strange growing habits rather than its flowers.

LIGHT: Keep away from direct sunshine, although the Saxifraga will thrive in a brightly lit spot, which will encourage summer flowering.

WATER: During the summer growing period, water your plant freely and don’t let compost dry out. In winter, keep watering to a minimum to avoid root rot. Occasional misting will also be welcomed.

refrain from overwatering. Misting is not needed with the Ponytail Palm.

5. CHINESE MONEY PLANT PILEA PEPEROMIOIDES

5 4. PONYTAIL PALM BEAUCARNEA RECURVATA Native to Mexico, the Ponytail Palm, which is a member of the Lily family, is straightforward to keep as a house plant. It is an unusual plant to look at, as the arching leaves come from a central bulb which sits just above the compost. This swollen bulb acts as a

storage vessel for water, which means the occasional drying out of the roots will not do it much harm. As it is quite a slow-growing plant, you may only see these as small specimens, however in time the Ponytail Plant can reach heights of up to 1.9m or more.

LIGHT: Bright but not direct light is advisable for this plant. The glossy,

arching leaves will increase in strength the more sun they are provided with.

WATER: During summer, water thoroughly, allowing the compost to dry out in between waterings.

Reduce this routine during the winter to once every two weeks.

As mentioned water is often stored in the bulb of the plant, so you should

It is clear to see why this plant, originating from southern China, is also known as the Pancake Plant.

Its easily recognisable round, flat leaves make it a focal point in your home, even though it only grows to about 30cm high. It will chase the sun, so you may notice the more mature plants will curl their woody stems around to reach as much light as possible.

LIGHT: These beauties are partial to a shady spot and grow well on a windowsill in the winter. Do not place them in direct sunlight as this can damage their leaves.

They will also enjoy being outside during the summer as long as the weather is fine. If you move them to a shady spot in winter you may also be lucky enough see the bloom of their small, white flowers.

WATER: Relatively easy to care for, Pilea is happy in free-draining soil and enjoys being watered once a week when the soil has completely dried out, possibly more often during the hot summer months.

22 RECIPE

Brisbane’s Gambaro family is expanding its hospitality empire with a new venue, Black Hide by Gambaro, set to open at Treasury Brisbane on June 8.

The new restaurant joins the family’s award-winning Gambaro Seafood Restaurant and Black Hide steakhouse on Caxton St, Petrie Terrace, and will offer steaks as well as a selection of seafood dishes.

“The Treasury building is one of the city’s grandest heritage buildings, enabling us to blend intricate and cutting-edge design with worldly charm and sophistication,” says John Gambaro, director of The Gambaro Group.

The new restaurant will feature a mix of intimate indoor spaces and outdoor terraces, luxe drapes, marble table tops, antique mirrors and lush greenery. As well, a corridor leading from the venue’s main Queen St entrance will display artworks reflecting the Gambaros’ journey in food and hospitality which began with a simple fish and chippery on Caxton St in the 1950s, and now includes the luxury Gambaro Hotel, also on Caxton St. The family will also unveil Persone, a smart-casual Italian restaurant and bar in the new Brisbane Quarter precinct at North Quay, on September 1.

Persone’s menu will draw on the family’s Italian heritage, as well as its expertise in steak and seafood.

With Italian flavours in mind, John Gambaro offers this gem from his personal recipe book.

Tradition on a roll ITALIAN STYLE MEATBALLS Ingredients 3 anchovies, diced 1 brown onion, diced Chilli flakes, season to taste 200g bread, diced Milk 700g beef mince 350g pork mince 1tsp fennel seeds 80g grated parmesan ¼ bunch parsley, chopped

Mix onions, bread and all other

ingredients (apart from sauce and garnish). Season with salt and pepper.

Roll mix into golf ball-sized meatballs.

Horoscope with Tanya Obreza SCORPIO

GEMINI

(October 24 - November 22) Best Day: Wednesday 6th If there’s one thing you’ve learned recently, it’s that you can survive, despite the dramas you’ve had to endure. Not surprising, really. Even when times get tough, Scorpios maintain passion and persistence – assets in a busy week when instinct and intellect make a powerful duo.

(May 21 - June 21) Best Day: Tuesday 12th You’re bent on dipping your toes over that proverbial horizon, so don’t be surprised if you find yourself on a first-name basis with your travel agent. Relationships climb to a new level of intensity.

New romance looks to have a reassuringly long warranty. Expect to meet fascinating new friends.

SAGITTARIUS

CANCER

VIRGO

(June 22 - July 22) Best Day: Saturday 9th Just when you need help, along comes a planetary ally or two. And it’s not a moment too soon. Once you realise that not everyone’s out to get you, it’s onwards and upwards. There are, however, some conditions. Bury the past and start concentrating on life as you’d like it. Except perhaps, financially. For now, be sure to throw hard earned cash into a locked vault.

(August 24 - September 22) Best Day: Sunday 10th Tensions flare as power struggles prompt either fight or flight. Anger can be explosive, but suppressing emotions isn’t healthy either. If you have a problem, aim for a positive outcome rather than just venting.

Either clear the air, or take a very long walk. Fortunately, you’ll soon start to re-establish warmer ties.

LEO (July 23 - August 23) Best Day: Wednesday 6th Increased energy and self-assertion should help turn long-held ambitions into reality this week. That’s the good news. The great news is that love is also high on the agenda, though some relationships could benefit from an honest heart to heart. This week is all about growing closer, getting to know each other better and making joint plans.

LIBRA (September 23 - October 23) Best Day: Tuesday 12th Friendships take more time and attention; and if the way opens for new romance, love could merge with professional pursuits. Finances share the same optimism. All in all, this is the time to keep all options open.

Seize each and every new opportunity for success and happiness. You shouldn’t rule out a short trip or longer journey, either.

(November 23 - December 21) Best Day: Friday 8th You can’t please all the people all of the time. Maybe the solution to this is to pick your moment, but there’s still one small problem. Some individuals simply can’t be pleased at all, despite your best efforts. If so, perhaps you’re better off directing some of your energies elsewhere. The last few days concentrate on money and lifestyle.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Best Day: Tuesday 12th You’re very chatty this week – so unlike you, Capricorn. Excited thoughts race around your mind and you can’t wait to share them. Right now too, it seems you’re back in touch with every friend on the planet. The week may also end with more than its fair share of love and luxuries. Enjoy!

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 18) Best Day: Thursday 7th Many Aquarians take an unscheduled trip down memory lane, complete with confronting issues that need addressing. Probably a good week to throw life into cruise control, but

should you feel like forcing the odd issue, just make sure it’s done in a pleasant way. Better still, treat yourself and loved ones to time out.

PISCES (February 19 - March 20) Best Day: Saturday 9th Have you been dipping into your savings just a little too often? This week could be a great time to get address your budget, expenditure and saving habits. Act as if the rainy day is here, and be on your best spending behaviour. Week’s end hints at romance that’s attentive, sexy . … and maybe a tad illicit?

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Best Day: Sunday 10th Recently, conflicts have chipped away at many an Aries ego. Now you can look forward to a rewarding week. No longer prepared to concede defeat, you’ll be on the attack, rather than merely safeguarding. You’re also better able to shape small details into a larger picture and intuitively make the right choices.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 20) Best Day: Friday 8th It’s a week to consider lasting investments, such as property.

Even better news: expect a few surprises if you become attracted to someone separate from the usual peer group. Singles may attract suitors from overseas. Couples become more open with their feelings. Either way, you’re faced with important decisions regarding commitment.
