This week...

Like many travelloving Aussies, I have fond memories of London. During a seven-year stint in Dublin, it was just a short hop across the pond for shopping expeditions on Oxford St and lunch at Sketch. Those footloose days came flooding back as I read this week’s feature story (P8) on best-selling author Kate Morton (right).

A queen of the mystery-romance genre, the mum-of-three moved her brood from Brisbane’s Paddington to London three years ago. In that time she has penned her sixth novel, coloured by her adopted city and weekend jaunts to stately homes. But don’t be too envious – Kate says she misses our Queensland rain too much to stay forever. There really is no place like home.

FIRST PERSON

Belinda Seeney I’m determined not to ruin Christmas this year and have locked in a brand new advent calendar, its 24 windows filled with wine It’s late August and I’m scurrying through a suburban shopping mall.

Father’s Day sales are being rung up as I take evasive action against promotional staff spritzing celebrityendorsed scents when I see something that pulls me up mid-stride. In an already saturated retail environment, I spy a display window filled to capacity with the most eye-catching and gloriously kitsch paraphernalia.

Nylon cobwebs and crepe paper spiders hang from the ceiling; cardboard cauldrons and plastic pumpkins line the sill; and glow-in-thedark ghosts and rubber bats rub against black cats and witches on broomsticks.

It is so corny I half expect to see Scooby Doo and the gang sifting through the tableau. I scoff at the blatant Halloween cash grab two months out from the event and resume my own consumerist pursuits.

Fast forward a week-and-a-half and

I’m back in the land of bright lights, piped music and circuitous store layouts when I see something new.

The orange and black pales next to a more dominant colour scheme – red and green. Christmas is here!

The derision I felt for the premature Halloween arrangement was replaced with levels of excitement akin to ... well, a kid on Christmas morning.

I adore everything about the festive season: cheesy carols, cheesier attire (sequined Santa hats, anyone?), marvelling on Christmas morning how the reindeers devoured all eight rum balls left out for them, and rejoicing on Christmas night with a traditional screening of Die Hard.

But what really gets me excited is the lead-up to the big day, and that is why I adore retailers who wheel out the tinsel and trees from early September.

I’ve already purchased – and consumed – my first batch of rum-

spiked fruit mince pies, and while there are still a couple of months until I can crack an advent calendar, I’m already short-listing my options.

In past years, I’ve checked off the days with craft beer, chocolate and sample-sized beauty products.

Sadly, my plans to whip through December with a miniature bottle of artisan gin or bag of gourmet tea each day were thwarted – the first due to exorbitant shipping costs, the second due to other shoppers snapping up the prize before I could “add to cart”.

I’m determined not to ruin Christmas this year and have locked in a brand new advent calendar, its 24 windows filled with wine.

Not full-sized bottles – Santa still needs his wits about him at the pointy end of the season – but those dinky little drops stocked in hotel mini bars and Qantas drinks carts. ’Tis the season, after all.

THE CHAT

Glitz and glam Musical theatre star Euan Doidge reveals his cheeky side in Priscilla role Fiona Purdon It’s just as well Euan Doidge has good balance because he has spent the past twoand-a-half years performing in high heels.

As one of the stars of the musical Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, which arrives at QPAC this month, Euan delivers song and dance numbers including I Will Survive and I Love the Nightlife – all in heels.

Fortunately, he has had plenty of practice. His previous two shows were Kinky Boots and a cruise ship production of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

“I was lucky, so it wasn’t a shock to my body,’’ he says. “I go to the gym as much as I can and obviously I’ve had a lot of training and practice.’’

Euan, 24, stars as Felicia, a flamboyant and loud-mouthed drag queen who joins two friends (played by Tony Sheldon and David Harris) who hop on a battered bus and drive to Alice Springs to perform the show of a lifetime.

“Felicia is the cheeky and naughty one.

I’m the troublemaker in the group and there is a beautiful love-hate relationship, which brings a lot of laughs to some serious situations,’’ he says.

Euan, who starred as Marius in Les Miserables (2014-16), says Felicia is a dream role. “This show was on the top of my list.

It’s an iconic Australian show so it’s pretty special to be part of it.

“I love the story of the show; I love the music. I love it how people don’t expect to feel what they feel; there are deeper emotions. It’s also a feel-good show, which leaves people smiling.’’

Euan deliberately chose not to watch the cult 1994 movie before taking on the role so he could focus on the musical version, which features the “most over-the-top’’ costumes, including 200 headdresses and 500 outfits. Felicia alone wears 18 costumes.

“The musical has a lot more glitz and glamour than the film, which is what I love about live theatre,’’ he says.

“Audiences are loud, they get involved, they expect certain one-liners and as a cast you thrive off that energy.’’

This is not the first visit to Brisbane for Euan, who lives in both Sydney and Melbourne. He has performed in the River City several times before and has family in Queensland who attend his shows.

“Brisbane audiences are very responsive; they are very vocal and excited.

“There is always a lot of buzz in Brisbane and I love going there with work.

“We are finishing the season in Brisbane so it will be very buzzy.’’

Euan became the youngest ever male Helpmann Award nominee for best supporting role in a musical for featuring in A Chorus Line as a teenager.

A dancer from the age of 10, Euan, who grew up in Adelaide, realised early on that a career in the theatre beckoned.

“The first time I performed on stage at a school event, I knew that it was what I wanted to do and I didn’t want to try anything else,’’ he says.

Time traveller Life in London inspires Kate Morton as she blends romance, history and mystery to transport readers to other worlds Fiona Purdon Kate Morton is on an excellent adventure.

It’s been three years since The New York Times best-selling author and her husband Davin Patterson moved from Brisbane to London with their brood on a five-year visa.

This month, the Mt Tamborine-raised Kate celebrates the release of her sixth book, The Clockmaker’s Daughter, a 585pager written at the dining table of their family home on London’s outskirts.

“Our house is so tiny,” Kate says of her lack of a study. “You can imagine having three boys – it feels like having six children because we are pretty packed in.”

Naturally, the Queensland-born youngsters – Oliver, 15, Louis, 10, and Henry, 5 – relish time outside and love to roam the nearby 320ha Hampstead Heath.

“Our lives are very similar to when we were living in Paddington (Brisbane),” Kate says. “I’m attracted to villages within cities. The school is nearby and I walk the kids. Hampstead Heath is quite wild – it’s like the lungs of London with all of these beautiful old trees. It’s funny. We originally only came to London for six months – it’s been a long six months!’’

A master of the romantic mystery genre, Kate sold 10 million books in the 10 years to 2016, netting her $17.3 million in royalties. All five of her previous novels have been No.1 bestsellers in Australia and the UK, with The House at Riverton (2007), The Forgotten Garden (2009) and The Secret Keeper (2013) each winning the Australian Book Industry Award for general fiction book of the year.

She writes while the children are at school, reserving afternoons and weekends for their swimming and music lessons as well as the “children’s party circuit’’ – especially for the “very social” Louis.

“Having children keeps you real, especially teenagers because it’s hard to impress teenagers,’’ says Kate, who reveals her musician and composer husband Davin has taken the kids for a bike ride so she can have peace and quiet for her phone interview with Brisbane News.

Like many Londoners, the couple have no car – there is simply no room for one, Kate says – and take the tube or walk.

For longer trips, they are members of a car club that gives them access to a vehicle.

This allowed Kate to “inflict upon my children’’ weekend trips to the country to visit historical houses that inspired the

I love that feeling of transportation. When I can feel that is happening as a writer, I know that is when that magic is happening rambling Birchwood Manor by the Thames in The Clockmaker’s Daughter.

The story centres on young painter Edward Radcliffe and his muse and secret lover Lily Millington. The pair are hosting a band of friends for an extended stay at Birchwood Manor in 1862 when a woman is killed and a Radcliffe family jewel goes missing. The plot thickens when, 150 years later, young archivist Elodie Winslow finds

a photograph of a woman in Victorian clothes and an artist’s sketchbook.

Writing The Clockmaker’s Daughter in London has helped Kate capture the city’s atmosphere. “I have walked all the places Elodie walked, passed the buildings she would have and stopped at the traffic lights she would have stopped at,’’ she says.

The book spans several generations of

stories involving Birchwood Manor. There is Juliet, a writer who took children to live nearby during WWII; Radcliffe’s biographer Dr Leonard Gilbert, during the Depression; and Ada Lovelace, who lived at Birchwood when the house was a girls’ school in the late 19th century.

“It’s been the hardest novel to write because there’s so many strands. I had all

the historical segments opened as documents at one time. I would wake up and think, I’m in a Juliet mood today. The next day I might feel like ducking into 1928 and working on Leonard.”

The seed of the idea took root during a sweltering Brisbane summer about six years ago when Kate received a Christmas present of a documentary about poet

Percy Shelley and his wife Mary Shelley, who created Frankenstein.

“I became fixated on the wonderful romantic story between (Percy) Shelley and Mary Shelley, and their friends including Lord Byron,” Kate says.

a summer of creativity and to have a wonderful time together, and then something goes terribly wrong.’’

Kate says the passing of time is a recurring theme of hers, perhaps because she cannot quite believe how far she has come since her years as a poor and struggling student in Brisbane, studying a BA (Hons) at UQ in the 1990s and

working the sales counter for Hardy Brothers jewellery store in the city.

She met Davin as an 18-year-old while he was studying at the Queensland Conservatorium of Music.

“Back then I never imagined this (success),’’ she says. “Life is a strange, twisting and turning thing, just like time.’’

But the journey has not been without its challenges. The author recently returned to Australia to attend hearings in the NSW Supreme Court related to a stoush with her former agent, Selwa Anthony.

Selwa has sued Kate for breach of contract after being sacked by the author in 2015. Kate has counter-claimed, seeking a refund of up to $2.8 million in commissions paid to her former agent.

The case is still before the courts, but Kate says her love of writing has been a welcome distraction.

“I love that feeling of transportation.

When I can feel that is happening as a writer, I know that is when that magic is happening. I never feel pressure (to deliver bestsellers) anymore. I have the confidence that if I love what I’m doing and I’m fully invested and put everything I have into my writing, I feel it’s working.”

And while the UK adventure has stimulated her creativity, Kate looks forward to returning to Australian soil.

“I miss Brisbane. I miss the type of rain, when there is that feeling of being hot and then with the rain comes that nice smell of jasmine. Every time I catch the whiff of a jasmine flower I feel homesickness.

“It’s funny because the longer I’m away, the more I feel myself drawn into my childhood in Tamborine. The landscape of your childhood imprints on your memory in a fundamental way, so I have the twin landscapes of my imagination: the magical rainforest of southeast Queensland and the England of my childhood storybooks.”

FOOD + DRINK

Gourmet fanfare Hats off to a talented chef who is spearheading a revival of Brisbane’s high-end dining scene RESTAURANT Tony Harper Just when you think the fine-dining corpse has twitched for the last time, up pops Restaurant Dan Arnold with its degustation menus, David Ponson cutlery and detailed plates of food.

It has taken up residence in the Alex Perry Hotel building, Fortitude Valley, and as far as looks are concerned, it fits right in – modern, minimalist, the occasional gaudy touch (mirror tiles) and a general sense that money has been spent.

Dan Arnold is the guy behind Restaurant Dan Arnold, and he has followed the old-school path of the Cordon Bleu and Bocuse d’Or competitions, plus working in Michelinstarred restaurants in France before coming back to his home town for a stab at Brisbane’s fine-dining audience.

On offer are a three ($72) and a fivecourse ($98) experience, with a small a la carte selection on Friday and Saturday nights. The contents change regularly.

I opt for three courses, which blows out to six with appetisers, amusé and petits fours. Considering $72 isn’t enough to buy me a dozen oysters and a steak at a decent pub-restaurant, it’s remarkable value for something as finicky as this. But given Brisbane’s abhorrence for anything more formal than a kiddies’ birthday party, I reckon it needs to be.

My theory on this style of food is that technique and presentation are prized over the adrenaline-packed ride you get from the food alchemists or the guttural impact of flavour and primeval satisfaction we can glean from good bistro food. It’s a culinary adventure, but one where the adventurers sip martinis and wear bow ties.

Things run like clockwork: menus, explanation, water, drink. Then a plate

is two scampi tails with a whole, panseared baby-cos. I love the way this chef weaves bitter into almost all of his dishes – subtly, but carefully. It’s a rare talent.

There’s also a puddle of something white and creamy, herb, sesame, scallions. It’s clever, neat and delicious.

Borrowdale pork (inset) is next – perfectly just-pink loin with celeriac (there’s the bitter), mustard cream and a side of potatoes “Lorette” – an addition that tastes great but somehow, like a

crocheted toilet roll holder, just looks twee.

And French. And very Bocuse d’Or. The sweet course is clafoutis, lemon sorbet, and a house of white chocolate and lemon myrtle – only-just sweet … delicious.

Dan Arnold is obviously talented and has technique, culinary art and flavour balance inherent in his genetic makeup.

What he is attempting – the old-world bravado – is brave in a city so obviously disinterested in upmarket dining. I wish him well.

RECIPE

Old school A roasting over the coals never tasted so good, writes Alastair McLeod If this dish were listed on a menu, you might pass over it.

Yet if it were called Caesar salad with grilled prawns, it would be a bestseller. Sometimes it’s all in the name.

Coal-roasted cabbage takes on a pervasive smokiness yet retains a pleasant cos lettuce-like crunch. Cooking over coal is so hot right now, it’s hard to imagine it went out of favour. It’s a taste that reflects our primal selves.

Now which dish would you prefer?

BARBECUE RED CLAWS, COAL ROASTED CABBAGE, CABBAGE OIL INGREDIENTS 1 small cabbage Extra virgin olive oil Sea salt and freshly milled pepper 5 anchovies 1 clove garlic, crushed

1tbs grain mustard 1 lemon, juiced 100ml mayonnaise 50g Parmesan, finely grated 2tsp Worcestershire sauce Choice of herbs, to garnish 8 red-claw crayfish, split

METHOD Make deep cuts all over the cabbage with a large cook’s knife, rub with olive oil and season generously. Place amid the embers of the barbecue and cook for 1 to 1.5 hours, turning from time to time. To make dressing combine anchovies, garlic, mustard, lemon, mayo, cheese and Worcestershire. Test cabbage with a knife and when tender, carefully remove from the fire. Allow to cool, remove blackened outer leaves and coarsely shred. Toss with ¾ dressing, your own choice of herbs and season.

Drizzle red claws with olive oil, season and grill on preheated barbecue for two mins. Serve on salad and drizzle with remaining dressing and cabbage oil. Serves 4

CABBAGE OIL 1 small bunch cavolo nero, leaves stripped from stalk 150ml grapeseed oil

METHOD Plunge cavolo nero leaves into rapidly boiling water. Cook for 15 secs, refresh in iced water, then drain well and pat dry. Place cabbage and oil in blender and blitz until smooth. Pass through a fine sieve.

ARTS

Infinite horizons Brilliant works by the late outback artist Nora Wompi are a joyous hymn to country GALLERIES Phil Brown To be in a room full of paintings by the late Nora Wompi is an almost spiritual experience.

At Suzanne O’Connell Gallery in New Farm, Wompi’s works seem to sing on the walls and they conjure the spirit and vitality of the artist, who died last year.

The exhibition is entitled Ode to Nora Wompi and it’s a very personal tribute by her art dealer. Suzanne O’Connell is paying tribute with this show and it’s an important exhibition because there won’t be many (if any) like it in the future now that the artist is gone.

Major collectors and museums are circling, and after all, this is a museum-quality show and a wonderful chance to see works by this legendary indigenous artist.

In an essay written for a catalogue accompanying the exhibition, Suzanne pays tribute to the artist and writes about what she calls her “Wompi obsession”.

She first discovered Nora Wompi’s work on a visit to the Warlayirti Art Centre in Western Australia. A small work of Wompi’s caught her eye.

“It spoke to me in a way which, I was soon to discover, the artist had intended – directly to my soul,” Suzanne writes. “For a lot of one’s work as an art dealer we focus on the name and provenance of an artist and their marketability. Which is fair enough as the arts is an industry. However, in this work we are blessed and I know I certainly was, to come across art which transcends the daily norm of art business, which inspires and reminds us of why we are in such an industry. After my first encounter with a Wompi work I simply had to know more about the artist.”

Over the years Suzanne got to know Nora and to represent her, a woman she recalls with “utmost fondness”.

Suzanne says this exhibition “marks the final chapter of a long and joyous professional partnership and friendship with Martu woman, Nora Wompi”.

The love Suzanne feels for the works is reflected in the works themselves, which form a sort of colourful visual

hymn to country. In another essay in the catalogue, curator Henry F. Skerritt points out, writing about one of Nora’s last master works, that though the work seems abstract, it is so much more.

While it was painted by Wompi with “unmistakeable confidence”, he says “this is a different confidence to the typical bravado of abstract expressionists: it is a painting whose self-assurance is drawn from the artist’s unity with

their world, their becoming one with the land from which they came”.

Nora Wompi’s paintings reflect her love of that land and they resonate with the life force of the ancient landscape that inspired the artist.

problem with such gusto, it’s fun to watch them try. Based on author Darcey Bell’s debut thriller, A Simple Favour is told from the point of view of a Connecticut mommy vlogger. Lonely, single and uber-organised, Stephanie Smothers’ (Kendrick) life runs like a well-maintained food processor – until she strikes up an unlikely friendship with Emily Nelson (Lively), a high-flying PR consultant with a rapacious appetite for life.

The two women bond over tongueloosening martinis when their young sons demand an after-school play date. Secrets are shared. Vulnerabilities are revealed.

Stephanie’s tightly bound defences unravel.

When Emily mysteriously disappears after asking her friend to collect her son from school one afternoon (the simple favour of the title), Stephanie uses her vlog to help solve the mystery.

A tip from one of her followers leads first to the discovery of Emily’s hire car and finally her body at the bottom of a lake.

Stepping in to comfort the dead woman’s husband Sean (Crazy Rich Asians’ Henry Golding), Kendrick’s dedicated homemaker quickly begins to take her place.

But not all the pieces fit. A series of inexplicable coincidences lead Stephanie to suspect that Emily might not be dead after

SEARCHING (M) hhhkjj Director: Aneesh Chaganty Starring: John Cho, Debra Messing, Michelle La Running time: 102 minutes It’s every parent’s worst nightmare: a missing child. This wily web-based thriller, which takes place entirely on smartphone and laptop screens, uses modern technology to ramp up the tension still further.

The central character, who we get to know only through her social media representations, is patchily reconstructed on these screens within a screen.

As might be expected in such an environment, not all the personas are entirely accurate. Margot Kim’s (La) father, David (Cho), is the amateur “detective” in the story, hacking into his daughter’s laptop to discover a girl he barely knew when the official police investigation stalls.

The first dead-end is her Facebook friends, the vast majority of whom, of course, V2 - BNSE01Z01MA

are virtual acquaintances unable to shed much light on what might have occurred.

As David doggedly retraces his daughter’s digital footprint, however, a clearer picture emerges of the hours leading

up to her disappearance. Searching is an old-school detective mystery given a fresh perspective via the distancing effect of the technological devices it employs.

There are a couple of scenes in which

all. The more she investigates, the more she realises just how little she really knew about the glamorous over-achiever.

A Simple Favour is a twisted tale of cross and doublecross in the tradition of Liane Moriarty’s Big Little Lies, adapted into a hugely successful HBO series by Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman.

Perhaps this, too, would have benefited from the extended character development a TV series can offer. Darcey Bell’s novel was described by one critic as “Gone Girl on steroids, amphetamines and cocaine”.

The film feels more like a sugar rush.

VICKY ROACH

the set-up feels a little contrived, but for the most part, it’s chillingly effective.

The film opens with a chronological photo album of a happy family-of-three who is devastated by wife and mother Pamela Kim’s (Sara Sohn) terminal cancer diagnosis. But the real searching begins after David notices that he has missed two late-night calls from Margot, who has failed to return home from her study group.

Seasoned detective Rosemary Vick (Messing) devotes her attention to the case, providing David with a sounding board.

But the more he learns of Margot’s secret life, the more worried he becomes.

David’s impression of a busy life of friends, study and piano lessons is very different from the portrait that emerges online – of a lost and lonely teenager.

This well-plotted crime puzzle has more twists and turns than a tortured colon.

The ending is a tad convenient – but by that point, you almost feel as though you have earned it.

ARTS

Wayne’s worlds From Marvel to killer koalas, this Brisbane comic artist is making his mark, writes Fiona Purdon As a successful comic book artist, Wayne Nichols is often told he has a dream job.

“It is so rare to find one, especially in Brisbane. The general reaction is that I have the coolest job ever, but it has come after a lot of hard work and dedication,’’ he says.

The Rochedale resident, who has worked for heavyweight Marvel Comics on spin-off series for X-Men and The Incredible Hulk, is now focused on creating his own comic book series, as well as freelance illustrations.

Wayne, 40, has also produced a limited edition one-off picture for Oz Comic-Con this year, including for this weekend’s Brisbane event where he is a special guest.

His picture (right) features three superpowered koalas, the state animal, as well as a montage of Brisbane landmarks. “The vibe of Comic-Con is always exciting. There is electricity in the air, people get to dress up as their favourite artists and get to meet the stars.”

It was at Comic-Con in San Diego 11 years ago that Wayne first connected with Marvel Comics.

“These days it’s easier; you only have to post a picture on Instagram and someone from Marvel sees your work and gets in touch,’’ he says.

Wayne has received some Marvel gigs lately, including drawing Thor for Disney’s Thor: Ragnarok merchandise. He also created a Spider-Man drawing, projected to a huge 5m x 8m artwork, for last year’s GOMA exhibition Marvel: Creating the Cinematic Universe.

“It was a real thrill to see my artwork that huge … and to be connected with the Marvel cinematic universe,” he says.

Wayne is working on his own comic book series Rumours of Whitmore, the name taken from a Taringa street and the storyline based on a futuristic scenario in which a technology disaster in Japan results in a mutation of humans and a race against time to find a cure.

“When I work for myself, I let my imagination run wild. I can explore my own interests.”

TRAVEL

One happy glamper Amid wallabies and paperbarks, Christine Retschlag checks in for a glamorous winery stay There are a couple of roos loose in the top paddock but there’s nothing crazy about Queensland’s first wine glamping experience. This is a tale about wine and wallabies. About peeling paperbark trees and sassy scribbly gums. It’s about a languid lagoon, home to lilies that would make Monet blush, and cackling kookaburras, of course.

Sirromet Winery, 40 minutes south of Brisbane’s CBD, has just popped the cork on its seriously glamorous glamping, plonked in the Australian bush.

And one of the best ways to experience the new Sanctuary by Sirromet, at Mt Cotton, is on a Gourmet Food Safari around this sprawling property.

My jaunty journey starts with a chardonnay pinot noir down by the lagoon, before I board a trailer towed by a tractor. There’s faux grass on the floor and crude crates upon which to sit. In one hand, I clutch a glass of bubbles, with the other, I grasp the side as we rollick and ramble along the 8ha property, feeling like freshly plucked grapes. It’s a tonne of fun.

Just ask the bewildered wallabies.

The first stop is The Arbour, where it’s beetroot macarons and more bubbles, before the second stop, overlooking the on-site Supa Golf range, where chief winemaker Adam Chapman explains one of Sirromet’s sexiest drops – the wildfermented chardonnay. Describing it as the colour of salmon and brass, and packed with oak, Adam says it’s got that “ding, ding” flavour and substance needed to pair it with executive chef Mat Fulford’s salty seafood offering of local Moreton Bay bugs and Stradbroke oysters, among sashimi, octopus, prawns and mussels, served here.

Mat, who is also a new addition to Sirromet, knows a thing or two about food, having worked at Lake House (Daylesford), Qualia (Hamilton Island), Stokehouse (Melbourne) and, most recently, at Matt Moran’s Little Big House in Brisbane.

It’s a smoky third stop on our safari, where luscious lamb has been slowly cooking over embers and regularly whacked with a thatch of rosemary.

There’s a shiraz yeast bread cooked 18

over the fire with smoked butter, all paired with roasted veg and a Sirromet syrah, as the sun starts to dip in the west. “The wine is to support the food; that’s what we’ve always done at Sirromet,” Adam says.

It’s back in the tractor and to the winery itself, where I learn to sip and spit the sav blanc brewing in the 41,000-litre tanks, before I enter the cavernous Barrel Hall for a dessert of chocolates and shiraz jelly.

The final stop is back at the lagoon, for an early evening cheese and wine.

The safari tents, which Sirromet likes to call an “evolution of glamping”, pay homage to local businesses. The room compendiums are bound in leather by a local leather maker, while its thick pages

Chief winemaker Adam Chapman explains one of Sirromet’s sexiest drops – the wild-fermented chardonnay are recycled paper, which contain native seeds. There are crisp, white ensuites here, replete with Bubbles Organic amenities made on the Gold Coast. Even the breakfast basket, included in your Sanctuary stay, includes locally sourced food, including all-natural strawberry yoghurt pots with granola, house-smoked salmon with bagel, cream cheese and capers, croissants with jam and butter, and Sirromet blended coffee plus fresh juices.

The creamy “real milk” in a glass bottle is from Queensland’s Scenic Rim. Sleep under plump doonas in a room that has reverse-cycle aircon and remotecontrolled lights, and wake up to your lagoon view.

There are 18 tents on site, but Sirromet’s owner, Gold Coast millionaire businessman Terry Morris, says there is approval for a total of 55. Terry, who opened the cellar doors 18 years ago, says the concept was something he was always planning, but was held up by council processes and concerns from

BRISBANE NEWS, Wednesday, September 19, 2018

environmental groups. In fact, rather than clear trees in this koala corridor, Sirromet has been planting them around the lowimpact treehouse structures, on what used to be a cattle property.

“This is unique because it is so close to Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Glamping is much softer and much more in keeping

with the feel of the place,” Terry says.

“I think enough people are looking for it. It is a niche market, and in the wine business, you need to have a niche.”

Terry says he decided to build accommodation to showcase Queensland wine, which still has a relatively low profile but “is just getting better”.

TRAVEL

BUBBLES IN THE BUSH … Sleep under plump doonas in the air-conditioned comfort of Sanctuary at Sirromet’s designer glamping tents; a bottled Do Not Disturb sign; bushland views; and a locally sourced breakfast spread.

“We are trying to create a unique Queensland experience,” he says.

Guests can also dine in the Cellar Door cafe, Tuscan Terrace, and Lurleen’s – named after Terry’s wife. Chef Mat has just introduced a tasting menu here, pairing the likes of snapper ceviche with chardonnay pinot; sea scallops with that V2 - BNSE01Z01MA

“ding, ding” chardonnay; a gazpacho with pinot gris; steak with cab sav; chocolate with Sirromet Sun Wine; and coffee or tea with petit four.

And there’s even a saucy Sirromet secret. According to Terry, behind the wine-production line stands a “little country dunny” used by long-standing and

controversial former Queensland premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen when he held his “country cabinet” meetings here.

Back in my tent overlooking the lagoon, even the kookaburras cackle at this wellkept Queensland cabinet secret, as I put out my “do not disturb” sign, an empty wine bottle upon which is printed the

words, “I’m escaping the everyday.”

Ding, ding, indeed.

BEAUTY, HEALTH AND WELLNESS: ADVERTISING FEATURE

Insight into wellness trends of the year It could be said that 2018 is the year of wellness, writes Tamille Head.

From attending weekly pilates classes to practising daily meditation, people are all striving to achieve optimum health.

Here’s an insight into some of the latest wellness trends to emerge.

Crystal facial rollers: Praised for its many benefits for the skins appearance, including improved circulation, skin tone and elasticity, as well as a reduction in puffiness, wrinkles and dark under eye circles, crystal facial rolling has taken off in the beauty industry of late.

Essentially, crystal facial rolling involves a beauty tool that has a polished round crystal – jade, amethyst and rose quartz are among the most popular – attached, being massaged over the face.

Best kept in the fridge or freezer, the skincare tools can be used alone or to work serums into the skin.

LISS: A new approach to exercise, lowintensity steady state (LISS) takes everything we’ve been told about high intensity interval training (HIIT) and turns it on its head.

Consisting of 45 to 60 minutes of cardio-based exercise – think walking,

cycling, swimming, jogging and hot yoga – at 60 per cent of your maximum heart rate, LISS requires lots of stamina, making it a safer and more effective way of building lean muscle mass and also burning fat.

Meditation: No longer reserved for devout spiritual-types, meditation has become a popular method for busy people to manage the stressors of modern life.

Originally used as a practice to cultivate stillness, create a sense of relaxation and quieten the mind, people are now turning to meditation to treat everything from anxiety and depression to high blood pressure and sleep apnea.

New to the practice? Ease your way into with a guided meditation.

Collagen supplements: Promising more youthful, radiant skin, shinier hair and stronger nails, collagen supplements have become somewhat of a wellness superhero.

Whether ingested in liquid or tablet form or applied topically, collagen supplements have also been linked to a host of other health benefits, including improved gut health, soothing joint pain and enhancing athletic performance.

A more comfortable way to clean sensitive teeth Visiting the dentist for a regular check-up is an important part of oral hygiene maintenance.

Dr Malcolm Duff, the principal dentist at Face Value Dental, says getting a professional clean allows your dentist to remove the plaque, or biofilm, that may have built up on your teeth since the last visit.

“This can cause tooth decay, gum disease and other problems if it isn’t treated,” he says.

“People who have sensitive teeth may find dental cleaning uncomfortable.

Guided biofilm therapy, or GBT, is a new

approach that uses state-of-the-art Airflow technology to help make hygiene treatments more comfortable and less invasive.”

He says the team at Face Value Dental, located at 138 Albert St, Brisbane City, now use Airflow for all hygiene treatments.

“At Face Value Dental, our Brisbane CBD dentists are committed to providing exceptional dental service with a personal touch that will exceed your expectations,” Malcolm says.

Dramatic overture Black sets the scene for an artist’s work in a glamorous urban apartment

Tonya Turner Artist Caroline Austin’s Teneriffe apartment is a play on contrasts.

The black and white colour palette, high-end finishes against grittier features, and the meeting of old and new combine to dramatic effect.

It wasn’t always this way.

In 2011 Caroline and her partner Andrew moved into the former woolstore building, drawn to its industrial and heritage features, including the exposed brick, oak floorboards and oversized sash windows.

But key areas of the apartment were due for renovation and the couple wanted to highlight its industrial warehouse feel.

“The connection to the past of the building itself is quite special,” Caroline says.

The Ansonia building dates back to 1926 and was named after a classic New York Beaux-Arts style residential hotel built in 1899-1904. It has undergone many transformations during its history, including stints as a naval port, woolstore and artist studio.

“We wanted to highlight the industrial warehouse feel of the apartment – and the New York connection that comes from the name of the building – by something dramatic, particularly in the large open spaces of the kitchen, study and living room,” Caroline says.

Ian Wrightson and Steven Stewart of Brisbane interior design firm Wrightson

Stewart were employed to transform the space, and create a clean and contemporary look that supported the building’s original heritage features.

As the apartment accommodates Caroline’s art studio, it had to be a suitable setting to showcase her work.

Caroline has curated an art exhibition for the public areas of the building to explore its history through the work of

We wanted to highlight the industrial warehouse feel of the apartment – and the New York connection … by something dramatic local and national artists as part of the BARI (Brisbane Artist Run Initiative) Festival in October.

The apartment’s high ceilings and flood of natural light through the large windows on all sides allowed for daring choices.

The kitchen is completely black, from the granite benchtops and matt cabinetry to the tapware and splashback. The same black cabinetry extends into the office.

“This really works to exaggerate the height of the ceilings, and also provides connection to the existing beams and steel trusses,” Ian says.

A new product from Wilsonart known as Traceless laminate was used to minimise fingerprints on the black

surfaces. A statement light and sliding ladder providing access to the kitchen’s higher shelves adds drama to the space.

The Bubble Chandelier by Lindsey Adelman is a stunning design element both day and night. In the living room, an

old peeling leather armchair pushed up against the modern open-flame fireplace encapsulates the apartment’s design aesthetic.

Both Caroline and Andrew travel extensively for work and pleasure. In the

office, a neat row of snow globes sits on a shelf below heavy art books and cameras.

Internal sliding doors allow the office to be closed off from the rest of the apartment.

The black-and-white theme continues into the bathroom, complete with claw-

foot bath, mosaic tiles, black tapware and custom black metal screens referencing materials used throughout the rest of the apartment.

“The matte black colour is dramatic but the apartment is so full of light with the

many windows. We feel it is a great balance,” Caroline says.

MY SPACE

Wide open space One style innovator reveals her secrets to home happiness SIAN MACPHERSON, 44, Clayfield Founder and editor-at-large of estliving.com MY FAVOURITE SPACE AT HOME IS …

The dining room. It’s the only room where we all come together as a family. We have three teenage sons who are usually in their bedrooms after a busy day, so we do all of our talking over a meal at night. I love that it’s light-filled with concertina windows that open up to allow the outside in. The dining table was given to me by Charlie Hinckfuss, who owns MCM House, when we moved to Queensland. It doesn’t cope with the heat so much, but I like that it’s cracked and worn. The chairs are Hay’s About a Chair by Cult.

IT WORKS BECAUSE … It allows for connection to the outdoors. An olive tree in an old Chinese elm timber pot also helps to create a greater connection to nature when sitting around the table.

MY STYLE IS … Pared back, timeless and mostly monochromatic.

AT HOME I LIKE … Key elements that bring joy to a room and make it come alive.

ART I LIKE TENDS TO BE … Landscapes or still life paintings. I think this is due to my country upbringing and longing for space and calm.

I DRAW INSPIRATION FROM … Calm, quiet spaces that allow for contemplation rather than stimulation. I tend to strip everything back in order to refine a space.

For me, less is always much, much more.

MY NEXT HOME PURCHASE WILL BE …

Something smaller as the boys start to leave home for university interstate.

We are renting at the moment and have moved house 13 times in the past 11 years.

LAST WORD

Phil Brown Fill me full of rum balls and iced tea, strap on my sarong and let me remain unshaven for a whole week. Ah, summer. Bring it on I don’t know about you, but I’m looking forward to summer. I can’t wait to break out my sarong, but I promise, I won’t wear it in public. Summer makes me feel quite relaxed.

I love the subtropics.

I used to tell myself I liked cold weather, but visiting London and Paris in winter last year disavowed me of that notion. In a photo at the Tower of London, I look positively frozen, from the tip of my beanie to my toes.

The only time I was colder was on a double-decker bus tour of Glasgow 20 years ago. We sat outside on the top deck. At the end of it I was chilled to the bone and my ears were so frozen you could have snapped them like potato crisps.

Trudging around Paris in the wind and rain with the temperature at 2C left me hankering for the warmth of my hotel room and largely unable to enjoy the scenery. It was like ... “Bugger the

Eiffel Tower!” and “Who cares about Notre Dame or the Louvre?”. I just wanted to get warm.

The fact is, I have lived most of my life in warmer climes. Growing up in Hong Kong we had coolish winters, like Brisbane’s, but nothing extreme.

My teenage years on the Gold Coast seemed like endless summer.

And for these past decades I have been in Brisbane, which may have the perfect climate, although by March I know I will be over summer.

But right now I’m looking forward to it and spring is in the air, which is lovely. If we could have spring all year, that would be grand. But I’ll take summer, too, and will look forward to having a dip in our pool, eventually.

Unfortunately, it usually takes the whole summer to warm up and by the time it’s fit to swim in, summer is over. I might get one or two swims. It’s an expensive pond, that one.

Luckily, our house gets the breezes and is quite bearable in the heat.

There’s nothing nicer than sitting on the deck in the evening, watching the day fade and seeing the flying foxes overhead. Brisbane summers are lovely and languid.

Usually, we also trek north to Townsville to visit my wife’s mum and it’s so languid up there that I can barely move from my chair. I love lying in bed at night in Townsville with a belly full of corned beef sandwiches, the screen door siphoning the breezes, with the cries of curlews rising and falling in the distance. That says summer to me.

Summer feels eternal when it’s here, especially around Christmas when the heat and the festivities conspire to create a lassitude that is really quite attractive to me. Fill me full of rum balls and iced tea, strap on my sarong and let me remain unshaven for a whole week. Ah, summer. Bring it on.
