It seems we are a city of storytellers, with book coaches like Cathryn Mora, our cover star, helping scores of budding authors get their yarns into the hands of readers.

Cathryn says the ease of self-publishing online has encouraged people who may have shied away “because of the insane competition there is to get traditionally published’’. Fiona Purdon’s story (P8) focuses on some of our brightest writing talents and the network of local mentors who support them.

For anyone stuck on that tricky second chapter, just know there is help at hand – plenty of it. Enjoy the issue.

FIRST PERSON

Belinda Seeney When I reached the top, I felt like a rock star. Welcoming strangers cheered us on, congratulated us and shared their own battle stories I seem to be barrelling through life at breakneck speed. I don’t know where I’m headed or why I’m in such a hurry, but impatience is my new default setting.

If the prevalence of road rage, carpark rage, Twitter rage, supermarket checkout rage and an increase in general snippiness, snideness and nastiness is any indication, I don’t think I’m the only one affected.

Fortunately, I stumbled upon a wonderful antidote to this grim modern affliction.

I took a hike – literally and figuratively. No, it wasn’t the fresh air and vigorous workout that set me straight, it was the camaraderie of my fellow hikers.

For the uninitiated, scaling Mt Warning in northern New South Wales does not involve a pleasant bushwalk with a few gentle inclines.

A sign at its base warns of the trail’s dangers and recommends setting aside up to six hours to navigate the 9km circuit.

It’s a hard slog, right from the outset. It’s a gruelling climb up hundreds of steps, along muddy paths and over boulders, and ends with a 400m vertical rock scramble with only a single line of metal chain for support.

Ten minutes in, my chest burns, my legs turn to jelly and I can hear my pulse roaring in my ears.

Then comes the first cheery “hello”. A couple of trekkers on the home stretch greet my puffed party with huge smiles. Then comes another “good morning”, followed by a patter of “hey”, “hi” and “how you doing?”.

The closer we get to the summit, the more personalised the greetings.

“You’re almost there,” encourages

one group. “You’re doing really well,” another cheers. “Keep it up, you’re nearly there,” says a third.

I can’t speak for the others but when I reached the top, I felt like a rock star. Welcoming strangers cheered us on, congratulated us and shared their own battle stories from the muddy, slippery track.

After a fortifying slug of water, a chocolate-coated energy hit, and an Instagram post or 12, it was time to descend and pay forward the kindness of strangers.

“Keep going, you’re so close,” I coo on the rock scramble. “What a cracking job – well done!” I applaud another. And the words of encouragement were guaranteed to crack a smile from even the most defeated hiker.

“Just imagine how good that beer is going to taste in a couple of hours.”

THE CHAT

All that glitters Chic fashions are given a second life at a cosmetic queen’s Bulimba boutique Hannah Davies Never let it be said that Fiona Neale is one to rest on her laurels.

Not content with the crown of cosmetics queen, the founder of Brisbane-based mineral makeup brand Issada is now taking on the fashion industry – and it looks like she’s got her hands on another winning enterprise.

This month saw the launch of Flip Luxury, a high-end consignment store on Oxford St, Bulimba, in Brisbane’s southeast, that aims to extend the life of “lovely things”.

Stocking brand-new and nearly new designer samples and runway pieces, consignors receive a percentage of the sale price on the items they supply, and shoppers get to snap up luxury items at bargain prices.

It’s been 12 years since Fiona founded Issada Cosmetics – which now dominates the mineral makeup market and has an A-list celebrity following – but Flip is her “true passion project”.

“It’s all about sustainability and breathing new life into fashion,” she says.

“There was such a need for this in Brisbane. People want to buy beautiful things but not everyone can afford to (buy) from the original source. Then there are those who can but want to offload the things they don’t wear anymore so they can buy more.”

Given countless surveys have established women wear only a small portion of their wardrobe, Fiona says it’s sad to know “so much fashion is just sleeping”.

“Flip creates a vehicle to break this mould, creating a circular economy rather than a linear one,” she says.

It’s no surprise that the store is already proving a success, with items including a brand-new Birkin bag for $20,000 ($150,000 new) and a pair of limited-edition Louis Vuitton sunglasses priced at $600 ($825 new) attracting plenty of attention.

UP STYLE … Fiona Neale at her new Flip Luxury boutique in Oxford St, Bulimba. Picture: AAP/Renae Droop Some of Queensland’s top designers are already on the consignment books, including Paul Hunt, Tracey Watkins of White Label Noba, Sonia Stradiotto, and jewellery designer Christie Nicolaides. The store also stocks global labels such as Gucci, Prada and Louis Vuitton.

Sizes range from 6 to 22, and prices from $10 to $20,000.

“We’ve got everything from jeans through to gowns, to bags, sunglasses, fragrances and jewellery,” says Fiona, who

lives at Seven Hills in Brisbane’s southeast. “Even the art on our walls is available to buy. –“I wanted to change the perception of resale. This is not a charity shop.

The store itself evokes a feeling of walking into the most incredible wardrobe. A space where you feel glamorous. A space where you can dress up.” flipluxury.com.au

COVER STORY

A passion for prose Everyone has a story to tell, and now book coaches and mentors are helping writers reach their audience Fiona Purdon Barely a week goes by without a Brisbane author launching a new title – so much so, the city is fast gaining a reputation as Australia’s literary hotspot.

Book coach Cathryn Mora – who mentors about 20 aspiring authors at any one time – claims Brisbane is the country’s “big mover” in writing and publishing.

“It has been this sleeping giant, with so much undiscovered talent over many years, and now we’re really coming to the fore,’’ she says.

“The ability to self-publish has really encouraged people who may have shied away before because of the insane competition there is to get traditionally published.’’

Based at Cleveland on Brisbane’s bayside, Cathryn, 43, helps authors transition their initial idea to a first draft, and she helps with editing, designing a book cover, marketing and promotion.

She started her Change Empire Book Coaching service in February after working as a life coach and in media and marketing.

Cathryn’s clients benefit from her firsthand experience. She self-published her novel, Sex, Lies and Cruising in 2015, and has a diploma in leadership coaching and mentoring from Queensland TAFE. “My book coaching program is a mix of coaching, mentoring, strategy and training,” she says. “I create the perfect program, which I wish I’d had when I wrote my novel a few years ago.”

Cathryn says a good book coach accelerates the process of getting a book into readers’ hands.

NOVEL APPROACH Get cracking on that first chapter with these tips from Cathryn Mora: 1. COMMIT to at least 15 minutes of writing every day, whether you feel like it or not. It helps you build momentum and it will get easier as you go.

2. DO NOT edit as you go. You don’t want a perfect Chapter 1 and no Chapter 20.

3. INVEST in professional editing before you even consider submitting your manuscript to a publisher.

4. GET AN AGENT to boost your chances of getting a deal with a large publishing house, and keep in mind the rate of success is low.

5. EMBRACE Facebook and Instagram.

Most publishers expect authors to have a big social media following.

“If my clients get stuck during the writing process, I can build sessions based around their mindset, confidence and visualisation,” she says. “Writing and promoting my own book a few years ago was the biggest achievement of my life and I love helping other people experience that feeling too. Many of my clients are writing memoirs, and I’ve literally been brought to tears by what some of them have shared.”

Book coaches like Cathryn, writing mentors and freelance editors are all part of Brisbane’s growing writing community

that has helped nurture talents such as Emily O’Grady, 26, whose debut novel, The Yellow House, won the $20,000 Australian/Vogel Literary Award for 2018.

“Though The Yellow House is set just outside Brisbane, I wrote it while surrounded by exceptionally talented and supportive Brisbane writers, and I was helped along by the

opportunities made available to me within the literary community,’’ Emily says.

Highgate Hill author Laura Elvery, 34, is thrilled with the flurry of launches at book stores Avid Reader in West End and Bulimba’s Riverbend Books.

Laura’s debut novel, Trick of the Light, was published by University of Queensland Press (UQP) this year. She has

WOMEN OF LETTERS … Book coach Cathryn Mora; award-winning author Emily O’Grady; writer and teacher Laura Elvery at home in Highgate Hill.

Main picture: Jill Kerswill Laura Elvery is being mentored by local best-selling author Ashley Hay as part of a QWC program that has helped about 50 authors in the past two years. QWC mentors include Sally Piper, Krissy Kneen, Trent Jamieson, Michelle Law, Anna Campbell and Aleesah Darlison.

Author and former corporate lawyer Christine Wells (The Juliet Code, 2018) has been a QWC member for 20 years and a full-time writer for 18. While raising two sons, she has sold more than 180,000 books.

“I belong to several informal groups of local writers,’’ says Christine, 43, of Corinda. “Funnily enough, social media has made it much easier for me to find locals who share my passion for writing.’’

Laura Elvery also belongs to several writing groups. “It propels you to write something new. You have to learn to take on criticism and feedback,’’ she says.

Mum to four-month-old Theo and daughter Harriet, 4, Laura was back writing within a month of her son’s birth.

“I wrote a few thousand words in a burst,’’ she laughs. “I have become pretty efficient with writing when I can. I go to a cafe or the State Library so I’m not tempted to do housework. I realised that I’ve always wanted to write, but life got in the way.’’

Not anymore. also secured a $35,614 OzCo grant to write her second book, and she won the $4000 Overland Neilma Sidney Short Prize.

“Having Trick of the Light out in the world is a thrill. Discussing it with friends and family, and seeing strangers pick it up in bookstores, it feels so satisfying to share what I’ve been working on,’’ Laura says.

Both Laura, a teacher on maternity

leave, and Emily, a university tutor who has just finished her PhD and is starting her second book, were announced this month as guests of the 2018 UPLIT Brisbane Writers Festival.

UPLIT chief executive Ann McLean says the city benefits from the “heart and soul passion’’ of publishers, educators, editors, libraries, and bookshops.

“We are fortunate to have diversity in the voices being cultivated locally, as well as a considerable wealth of senior writers,’’ Ann says.

According to Queensland Writers Centre figures, Brisbane boasts more than 500 authors, including self-published, and the centre has a membership of 1700.

privilege to capture and document for a family that specific stage of their life.

Tell us about your childhood …

I was a typical little bush kid in western Queensland (Tambo, Mitchell and then Aramac) who did School of the Air and then went to boarding school in Toowoomba. I loved the outdoor life and playing with a menagerie of farm animals and mustering on the motorbike.

How do you explain your success?

My signature black and white portraiture has been the key. My style makes everyone look good and allows the eye to focus on each face instead of being distracted by props and backgrounds. I have heard over the past 22 years ‘I want a Katrina Christ’, and this totally warms my heart.

Why embark on a career in photography?

I came back to Australia after two years of travelling and nannying in London and realised that photography was my ‘thing’. I enrolled at the Queensland College of Art to study photography and established Katrina Christ Photographer in 1996. I have since won many national and international awards and had the honour of becoming a master photographer in 2011.

Who or what inspires you?

My dad has been a big inspiration for me to follow my dreams. My husband, Andy, really is my biggest fan. My three girls, Isabella, Marianne and Cammie, have been great reminders to keep my feet on the ground, and the support from my twin sister and girlfriends has been indescribable.

What do you love most about your job?

I love photographing people – this is the heart of what I do. I need to be around people. It doesn’t matter if it is a newborn, a whole generation of the one family, or headshots for the corporate sector. It’s a

Your favourite spot for photo sessions?

It’s all about the light. This is all I need. I could turn up anywhere and find somewhere amazing to shoot. It’s like I have an in-built camera in my eye. I can be driving somewhere randomly and spot a cool location and mentally ‘click’. We have such amazing architecture in Brisbane that

TOP SHOTS … Katrina Christ thrives on doing what she loves. Picture: Aleisha Needham even an exposed brick wall can make the perfect backdrop.

Your top tip for posing?

‘Out and down’ is a saying I’m known for.

It’s all about stretching your neck out and down to create a strong jawline. I am an expert – if I do say so myself – at finding your best angle and bringing out your best.

How is the industry changing?

Photography hasn’t been immune to disruption – so many people are now taking

amazing shots on their iPhone. The difference in quality is noticeable if you are wanting to enlarge and hang photos on your walls.

What’s next for you?

I am incredibly grateful to still be doing what I love. I’m looking forward to continuing to photograph people, which fills my heart. I have said to my daughters, ‘do what you love’, and I walk the talk.

FOOD + DRINK

Total package The Mediterranean diet lives up to its healthy name with Cypriot-style lamb and salad from hip King St Tony Harper I am lucky enough to have two good friends of Greek heritage – one of them a remarkable cook – who have treated me to some marvellous Greek food. But outside their hospitality, my exposure has rarely strayed beyond baklava.

I’m a novice and, as such, I expect skewers, like the ones you get with yakitori and shish kebab. But at The Lamb Shop the meats are cooked over charcoal on spits. Upon checking, I learn The Lamb Shop specialises in souvla – the Cypriot version of souvlaki. But it’s all just semantics. More important is the quality of the food and the rest of the package.

The restaurant, which has a sister venue at Broadbeach on the Gold Coast, is part of the bustle of Bowen Hills’ King St. It draws a nice line between a fast-food eatery and something a little more special.

There is plenty of seating – at the counter, on high tables and out on the footpath – with the open kitchen the focal point in terms of noise, meaty aromas and visual activity. It’s a shame the kitchen has been conventionally laid out, with the guys at work having their backs to the audience for most of the time, but it looks great: minimal, modern, purposeful.

Things happen fast – that’s the fast-food eatery bit coming out.

We are seated, I get a beer (three on offer – all decent – plus a cider, three wines and soft drink) and our order is taken within two minutes. The food arrives within five.

There’s a lunch special of chips, salad, pita bread, tzatziki and meat from the spit, either chicken or lamb ($22.50). I opt for lamb, and every bit of it is good – in a simple, glossily fresh kind of way.

If this is fast food, there should be more

of it. I get a whole pita (fluffy and yeasty) cut into quarters; a handful of thin chips; a simple, properly dressed salad of nicely ripe, but still firm, tomato, feta, red onion, olives and cucumber chunks; a puddle of tzatziki; and chunky slices of lamb.

Ignoring the chips, it feels healthy and buoyant. There’s nothing clever or complicated here; it’s just carefully done.

I get a serve of lamb ribs ($16.50) just to watch the process. They come out of the fridge pre-portioned in a Ziploc bag, are placed on the hotplate, drizzled with lemon, and plated up a few minutes later.

And if you are a fan of lamb (which I am, as long as it’s piping hot), these ribs are delicious – just fatty enough to be succulent.

MY 3PM

French & Mor

One of the kitchen staff used his hands to plate chips – not a great look in an open kitchen, especially when tongs hang within reach. But it’s no big deal; I’ve worked in plenty of kitchens and it happens routinely behind closed doors.

In just 45 minutes I have tripled my exposure to Greek food and had a delicious, reasonably healthy, lunch. Terrific.

Time is ripe Alastair McLeod revives forgotten fruits with this sweet dream of a dessert This dish is really a digression on underused exotic fruits – the ones that take us from stone fruit to strawberry season in Queensland. It delights me that my wife’s favourite, persimmon, gave a good account of itself in our greengrocers as summer turned to autumn. In my street there are at least three guava trees that I plunder each season. The thin green skin and fragrant pink flesh are great in a cocktail, can be made into jam or chutney, and gave these popsicles a great perfume and aesthetic.

Tamarillos, also known as tree tomatoes, taste like a cross between a sharp tomato and a fragrant passionfruit.

GUAVA LEMON POPSICLES, POACHED TAMARILLO Ingredients 2tbs lemon juice 200g each of vanilla Greek yoghurt and strawberry Greek yoghurt

1 cup sieved guava flesh 220g sugar 60ml port 4 tamarillos

Method Whisk together lemon juice and vanilla yoghurt, set aside. Blend strawberry yoghurt and guava flesh, set aside. In a popsicle mould, alternate layers with alternating tablespoons and then swirl. Gently tap to remove air bubbles. Insert popsicle sticks, and freeze overnight. To prepare the tamarillos place sugar, port and 250ml of water in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Add tamarillos and poach gently for four mins. Remove from syrup and leave to cool. Increase the heat to high and boil syrup until it has reduced by half. Slip the skins off the tamarillos, place in the reduced syrup, and cool.

Culinary curator A homecoming chef translates French flair for Brisbane diners DAN ARNOLD, 30, chef What’s new with you?

I have just moved back to Australia after seven years in France. I am excited to open my Fortitude Valley restaurant, Restaurant Dan Arnold, in my home town.

How did that come about?

I started out studying law-science at university before discovering during parttime jobs – I started as a kitchenhand at Sizzler and moved into the kitchen as a grill cook – that I was passionate about cooking. I dropped out of university and got an apprenticeship at Il Centro (city) before moving to France for a closer look at French gastronomy.

V1 - BNSE01Z01MA

Where did you work in France?

I joined chef Serge Vieira, a two Michelin star chef, (at his restaurant at ChaudesAigues in southern-central France) in 2012 as his sous chef. He encouraged me to compete in the Bocuse d’Or – the culinary Olympics – in 2017, representing Australia.

Our team placed eighth in the world.

What can we expect at your restaurant?

I will be offering a three-course and fivecourse experience that I personally curate, dependent upon the available ingredients and seasonal influences.

Who or what inspires you?

My wife, Amelie, and my two-year-old son, Aiden.

Who does the cooking at home?

I do, but at the moment we don’t seem to be cooking much at home. Spaghetti bolognese is a family favourite.

What ingredient is your current fave?

Yams – I had never worked with them before, and find as well as being visually appealing, they are very versatile.

The first thing you learnt to cook?

A chocolate brownie with my mum.

Who are your food heroes?

The most decorated chef in the world, Rasmus Kofoed of Geranium in Copenhagen, and Serge Vieira.

I look forward to growing my small family when things settle down. restaurantdanarnold.com BRISBANE NEWS July 25-31, 2018 13

FILM

Armed avenger THE EQUALIZER 2 (MA15+) hhkjj Director: Antoine Fuqua Starring: Denzel Washington, Melissa Leo, Ashton Sanders Running time: 121 minutes When a respected actor gets down and dirty, cash registers cha-ching. Liam Neeson’s career took a surprising turn with Taken in 2008, an ultra-violent thriller that spawned two sequels and turned the Irish actor into a hardcore action hero.

Denzel Washington follows suit in this bloodthirsty sequel to 2014’s The Equalizer, also directed by Antoine Fuqua and loosely based on the 1980s television series of the same name. While the morality of this violent vigilante drama, which comes dangerously close to fetishising the thrill of the kill, is highly dubious, Washington’s commitment to the role can’t be faulted.

In the original film, Washington’s retired CIA black op agent, Robert McCall, was working nine to five 5 in a Boston hardware store, having promised his beloved late wife that he’d leave his old life behind. The monk-like character spent his days doing good deeds in an effort to atone for his past sins and his sleepless nights

reading literary classics at a 24/7 diner. His two worlds collided when one of the other regulars, a young prostitute (Chloe Grace Moretz), was hospitalised by her pimp. In the face of such savagery, McCall’s good Samaritan persona became weaponised.

He has compartmentalised these competing impulses in the sequel. By day, McCall is an empathetic Lyft driver (an Uber competitor in the US) who keeps an eye out for his regular customers, such as the sweet Jewish pensioner who tells him a seemingly fanciful story about a valuable pre-WWII painting.

By night – or the thematic equivalent thereof – McCall is a self-appointed dispenser of justice. Confronting a father who has kidnapped his own daughter, the dead-eyed avenger lays waste to an entire train cabin full of the man’s cronies.

He is just as unsparing when dealing with the entitled men who have raped a young woman who is bundled into his car.

When McCall’s former CIA boss and one remaining friend (Leo) is killed in Brussels in suspicious circumstances, he re-establishes contact with his former partner (Pedro Pascal). The two men work together to solve the crime.

Keeping McCall in touch with his better

self is his neighbour, Miles (Moonlight’s Ashton Sanders), a vulnerable young graffiti artist.

The Equalizer 2 is Washington’s fourth collaboration with Fuqua, who directed his Oscar-winning performance in Training Day, as well as in The Magnificent Seven.

They are quite a team. Fuqua’s action

Musical origins Singer Anthony Callea captures the essence of his songs on a tour that offers old favourites and unexpected extras Daniel Johnson

NEW CHAPTER … Anthony Callea will perform in Brisbane on August 3.

After recording a chart-topping album last year and performing with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, singer Anthony Callea is going back to basics for his latest tour.

For his ARIA Number 1 Hits – In Concert tour, which will bring him to Brisbane’s Tivoli in August, Anthony swaps the orchestra for a full band, delving deep into his seven-album back catalogue.

“I really love my (2016) album Backbone, so maybe there are a few songs on there I’ll tackle again on this tour,” he says. “I also really want to go back to a few songs from A New Chapter, my (2006) album, which was my second album that I never really got to tour that much.”

Anthony covered songs from a variety of genres for his latest album, ARIA Number 1 Hits in Symphony, with tracks including Save the Best for Last, It Must Have Been Love, End of the Road, Nothing Compares 2 U, and Right Here Waiting all given the symphonic treatment.

“I went through all the No. 1 songs since the ARIA charts started in 1987,” he says.

“I wanted to choose songs I thought would not be expected for me to sing. As soon as I said I’m doing the Adele song (Someone Like You), everyone was like, ‘no,

you can’t’. When someone tells me I can’t do something … Oh, God, you’ve actually just opened the floodgates and I’m like, ‘no, I’m doing it’.”

Anthony says he always wanted to record an album with a full orchestra and, being from Melbourne, the MSO was at the top of his wishlist.

He admits the logistics of touring with an orchestra prompted him to pare things back to the essence for his latest tour.

“There’s something about breaking down a song and getting to its core again and really focusing on lyrics and melodies that is actually really special, and I feel as though people do want to hear that as well,” he says.

The singer, who came to national attention as runner-up on the second season of Australian Idol in 2004, says as well as revisiting some of his earliest recorded material, he will be airing some seldom-heard originals.

“Of course I’ll be doing the songs that everyone wants to hear but I’m planning on throwing in a few originals that I wrote 10 to 12 years ago and presenting them just with piano on vocals. This (tour) is a celebration of the last 14 years.”

ON LEOPARD ROCK Wilbur Smith Allen and Unwin, $40

TEATIMES: A WORLD TOUR Helen Saberi NewSouth Books, $60

Langton’s definitive travel guide is as informative for nonindigenous Australians as it is for overseas visitors.

Presented in two parts, the first section is dedicated to the country’s indigenous history, culture and traditions and offers advice on how best to explore it, including a chapter on cultural awareness. The second half lists and comprehensively details festivals, events, sites and landmarks of cultural importance, grouped by state or territory.

Wilbur Smith’s fictional tales of adventure and intrigue in far-flung settings captured the imagination of readers across the globe. The prolific author’s own life has proved just as action-packed as he reveals in this no-holds-barred memoir. He’s crash-landed an aeroplane, wandered lost through the African bush and tangled with lions and reef sharks. Truth may not always be stranger than fiction but as Wilbur’s anecdotes reveal, it’s every bit as mesmerising.

Pop the kettle on and immerse yourself in the rich history of one of the world’s most enduring and endearing commodities: tea. The hardcover tome covers tea’s global journey into the hearts and homes of many; from literature’s Mad Hatter’s Tea Party to historical newspaper advertisements and the rising popularity of bubble tea. The final chapter is filled with recipes to accompany your favourite cuppa, including Victoria sponges, cucumber sandwiches, tea buns and samosas.

AT HOME

New order Everyone in an architect’s family of six had a say on the design of this roomy northside house Tonya Turner A well-designed home on a small block can feel a lot bigger than a poorly designed home on a large block.

Just ask Tonic Design director Matt Riley, who designed his two-storey family home for himself, wife Ali and their four children on a modest 380sq m parcel of land in Stafford Heights.

That’s the thing about great design – it finds creative solutions to problems both big and small.

To make the house and outside areas feel larger, Matt designed spaces that allowed the inside and outside to work together.

He created visual connections through rooms and to the outdoors, made the downstairs ceilings 3m high, and included wide, 2.4m door openings.

“One of the key design features for small lots like this is to use as much of the land as possible, and merge inside and outdoor spaces,” Matt says.

“I can honestly say it is one of the most comfortable homes I have ever lived in. It’s quiet, passive, comfortable, and has just enough wow factors to keep you interested, and it really reflects how our family loves to live.”

From the pine plywood ceilings and sculptural staircase inside, to the round plunge pool and inviting outdoor spaces, there are plenty of features to draw the

eye. Both Matt and Ali are fans of midcentury modern design and wanted the house to reflect elements of that style.

“Ali and I have similar taste so there is a great synergy when we work together on a project like this. That’s what happens when you have been together for over 20 years,” he says.

Matt treated the project like any other, consulting and collaborating closely with Ali and their four children to find out what each wanted from the home.

“Because I know them so well and know how they live and their needs and desires, it was not hard to design something that suited them, but it was still a process of consultation and engagements, just as I would do with my real clients,” Matt says.

“At this stage, Ali has not had any complaints, and I know the children love living in the space. I get a big kick out of seeing people inhabit a space in real life the way I had intended it to work in the design stage. I think we covered most things,” he says.

The open-plan living areas and kitchen allow the family to come together and interact with ease, while small breakout spaces provide the opportunity for private escape.

extension to the kids’ playroom or a cool and quiet spot for a morning coffee.

“I believe houses reflect where you are at in life and the people who inhabit them. They should be designed to suit the occupants’ needs, but in a balanced way so they are flexible enough to change with different stages of life, or also for different people over time without the need for extensive renovations,” Matt says.

Every inch of the backyard has been used to maximum effect, with a round concrete plunge pool with a northeast aspect providing a spectacular focal point.

“It offers the best scenario for a small-lot backyard like this. It’s compact but not too small, and it comes ready to lift off the truck and set up instantly.

Also, having it above ground like this means you minimise pool fencing requirements,” Matt says.

Problem solved.

EXTENDED PLAY …

The house features mid-century modern design, high ceilings, wide doorways and a distinctive plunge pool.

LAST WORD

Phil Brown It was a dream holiday, with only one glitch. That glitch measured 6.0 on the Richter scale. We were on the 17th floor of the Peninsula Tokyo when the earth moved for us Before anyone else asks me, the answer is, no, we did not go to Kinkaku-ji Golden Pavilion in Kyoto. This is one of the most popular buildings in Japan, everyone goes to see it.

But not us. Of course, knowing we have just been to Kyoto while on holiday in Japan, people have been asking us if we went to see it, but we ran out of time. People have a habit of asking about the one thing you didn’t do, and then they act all crestfallen when you tell them.

We did lots of other things in Kyoto.

We walked the famous Philosopher’s Path, visited the Shogun’s castle, and the Geisha district of Gion, a traditional area where we spotted a geisha, which is a bit like seeing a sasquatch.

We also visited the amazing Fushimi Inari Taisha, head shrine of the god Inari, who may or may not have been there at the time. This shrine is famous for thousands of vermilion torii gates, which straddle a network of trails up

the side of a mountain. Watching Joanna Lumley visit this place in her TV series about Japan was what made us want to go to Japan in the first place.

Onya Lummers.

Walking uphill through these gates is quite a spiritual experience – for a few hundred metres, at least. It was a 30-degree day though and by the time we got to the teahouse halfway up, I was done in and refused to proceed. So while my wife and son went to the top, I reclined, drinking cold green tea and enjoying the vista.

Japan is my kind of place. It’s clean, tidy and everything runs on time. And everyone is polite. I believe they may be bottling things up to a certain degree, but that’s really not my problem.

So they’re a bit OCD about things, so what? When they say a train will depart at 2.20pm they mean it. We travelled between Tokyo and Kyoto on the Shinkansen, the Bullet Train, and it runs like clockwork. I love that.

Asia can be pleasantly chaotic at times, but not Japan. Even their chaos is organised. And when you’re standing at a railway station looking at a map, completely bewildered, the Japanese will offer assistance, with no ulterior motive. This happened to us a few times, and one gentleman walked us all the way to our platform.

It was a dream holiday, with only one glitch. That glitch measured 6.0 on the Richter scale.

We were on the 17th floor of the Peninsula Tokyo when the earth moved for us. I rang downstairs to see what the hell was going on and was told it was “just an earthquake”.

No big deal, apparently.

And if you’re going to be in an earthquake, you might as well be in one in an earthquake-proof luxury hotel.

Still, visions of certain Hollywood disaster movies visited me through the night. But as you can see, I survived.

Yet again.
