This week... What a difference a year makes. Last Christmas young actor Jacob Elordi was moving about his home town of Brisbane without a single request for a selfie. Now, as the star of Netflix sensation The Kissing Booth and with more high-profile roles in the works, the shy 21-year-old has six million Instagram followers and teenage fans mobbing him at every turn. Emma Schafer’s portrait (P8) reveals a focused, hard-working young man intent on achieving his dream of Oscar glory. Finally, and with deep sadness, we say goodbye to Brisbane News photographer Ric Frearson, who passed away suddenly, aged 57. Ric was a master behind the lens, a passionate creative and a good friend. Thank you, Ric, and farewell.

Belinda Seeney Mounting a marauding party of one, I systematically went room to room, my laser eyesight locating and identifying stolen treasures Set foot in my house and you leave democracy at the door. Majority does not rule, popular opinion holds no sway and the greatest number does not benefit from the greatest good. I am a dictator, plain and simple. I’d like to believe I’m benevolent and unlike my bloodthirsty, warmongering, corruptible peers, but ultimately, what I say, goes. It’s the only way to prevent my kingdom descending into anarchy. I not only make the rules in my suburban fiefdom but am the judge, jury and executioner when it comes to implementing the law and meting out punishment for infringements. My current crusade? Food in bedrooms. The first sign of this crisis was a plundering of clean coffee cups and a decimation of the kingdom’s Tupperware drawer. In a show of tolerance and understanding, I declared an amnesty period when the contents of my
kitchen could be returned without retribution. Nothing. Not even a teaspoon – a utensil whose own ranks had also mysteriously depleted. Biding my time, I waited until my underlings had foolishly vacated our domestic realm before I struck. Mounting a marauding party of one, I systematically went room to room, my laser eyesight locating and identifying stolen treasures. OK, I got a little carried away with my analogy and may have oversold things. Nothing was cunningly hidden – indeed, a good portion of my crockery was stacked haphazardly in plain sight. And it wasn’t so much my 20-20 vision picking them out, but my wrinkled nose. I’m not sure how long ago the plastic drink bottle had been drained of its banana smoothie contents, but the crusty brown dregs indicated the passing of several days. Likewise, the tea-stained tide marks on half-a-dozen mugs.
Bowls and plates bore a confetti coating of crumbs, which – thankfully – had proved unpalatable to ants and cockroaches. An artistic installation of plastic lunch containers lined the floor of one bedroom, the air pungent with the scent of apple cores and strawberry tops fermenting within. A slightly nibbled muffin sat on a bedside table next to a reading lamp and 861 shades of lip gloss. Under the table was a sandwich container that appeared to contain a small, furry animal but was, in fact, the crusts of a fortnight-old sandwich. Rather than beat a furious warpath, I decided to hit the perpetrators where it hurt: square in the bank balance. For every food infraction, they will be taxed the princely sum of $10, the money reinvested in new food containers and industrial cleaning supplies. Heavy the head that wears the tiara.

ymnast and maths whiz Michael Tone has the formula for home-town success. The Morningside resident, who started gymnastics at age two, made a team-best three Commonwealth Games individual finals, including a fifth placing on high bars on the Gold Coast in April. Now he’s calculating how to continue his successful run. Michael will head to the world championship selection competition on the Gold Coast this weekend as part of the National Clubs Carnival. He will be one of 4000 gymnasts from 236 clubs including several Brisbane associations. “The Commonwealth Games is the biggest competition I’ve ever competed at, so to be able to walk away and be pleased with how I did is a good feeling,’’ he says. “You don’t often get a chance to compete in front of the home crowd, so to have the entire crowd cheering for you was a completely different experience ...

on positive energy so I could perform at my best.’’ Each week the 22-year-old trains for 28 hours at the Gymnastics Queensland High Performance Centre at Chandler, under coach Sean Wilson. This is in addition to coaching part-time at Brisbane Boys’ College and full-time study at QUT. Michael has completed several subjects of a maths degree but recently transferred to a Bachelor of Business, majoring in finance. “I’ve always been good at maths; it’s probably helped that my mum is a maths teacher. Maths is very problemsolving based, which I guess comes in handy for gymnastics because you use maths to help construct your routines.’’ Originally from the Sunshine Coast, Michael moved to Brisbane six years ago to train after his coach retired. The move came at a cost, with Michael’s father Martin, who runs a safety inspection business, also relocating to Brisbane for a year to support his son.

COVER STORY
The boy from Oz Jacob Elordi is living his Hollywood dream but the adoring fans will take some getting used to, he tells Emma Schafer
I
t’s 3am and a 16-year-old Jacob Elordi is wide awake at his Wavell Heights home. The St Joseph’s Nudgee College student and aspiring actor is gripped with anxiety as the same dreaded question wreaks havoc on his sleep – “What if I never make a movie?” The stage is Jacob’s second home and he has read hundreds of plays. Hollywood is his “plan A” and he refuses to distract himself with a “plan B”. Fast forward to today and Jacob, now 21, shares a manager with Hollywood heavyweight Chris Hemsworth and played the lead in one of Netflix’s most-watched summer releases, teen drama The Kissing Booth. He was back in Australia last month filming another top-secret project, but has since returned to his base in Los Angeles to film HBO teen drama Euphoria alongside Zendaya (The Greatest Showman) and Maude Apatow (This Is 40, Knocked Up), produced by rap megastar Drake. “Euphoria is my dream role in terms of something meaty and real,” Jacob says. “That’s the biggest thing happening in my life right now.” But family remains his rock and Jacob was sure to fit in quality time while home, though visiting his old haunts is no longer so easy. Teenage girls flock for a piece of Noah Flynn – the bad boy heart-throb Jacob plays in The Kissing Booth. The 195cm actor, who had parts in Swinging Safari (2018) and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017), now has almost six million Instagram followers, multiple fan-pages and a girlfriend – Hollywood actor Joey King, 19, who plays his love interest Elle Evans in The Kissing Booth. “In all honestly, it’s been a little bit difficult for me,” Jacob says. “I’m pretty private … so to me it’s a little unnerving to see my face and my name everywhere. “I’m so stoked that people enjoyed (The Kissing Booth), and I have a lot of love for people sending letters and writing appreciation posts, but it’s a bit of a shock. I don’t think I’ll get used to it.” He’s just wrapped filming on his next film, 2 Hearts, in Vancouver, where screaming fans gathered outside his

BIG TIME ... Jacob Elordi with sister Isabella and parents Melissa and John; with co-stars Joel Courtney and Joey King; in character in The Kissing Booth. Pictures: AAP/Renae Droop hotel. It’s all been cause for good-natured ribbing from Jacob’s former Nudgee classmates. “On Instagram people make a lot of compilation videos of me shirtless and smiling and dripping in sexy sweat. I get sent a lot of those by my friends,” he says. The Kissing Booth was Jacob’s 103rd audition, filmed against a blue sheet on the garage wall at home. “I’ll never forget the day I got the call saying I got the part. It was a Saturday and I was walking through Westfield Chermside. I could see it was a conference call with about five managers. They always told me that meant either really good or really bad news. When they told me I’d got the part, I collapsed and just started crying. It meant a whole lot.” When the time came to leave Brisbane, Jacob was ready. His mum Melissa, the Nudgee College tuckshop co-ordinator, says his American accent has been perfect since he was 10 years old. “He was in grade four, and for show and tell he rapped an Eminem song. He just loved that
American accent,” she says, adding he was 12 when she knew he had serious talent. “His school did a production of Seussical and Jacob was The Cat in the Hat. He was so confident and so funny, and even then he had such a strong self-belief.” It was that conviction that Chris Hemsworth recognised in Jacob when the pair met at the Park Hyatt Sydney about three years ago. Jacob was in town for an audition and Chris was on a press tour with their now shared manager. “He basically sat me down and was like, ‘Look, you clearly love acting’, but he said I should ‘win a Logie or something’ before moving to Los Angeles,” Jacob recalls. But Jacob would much prefer an Academy Award, according to his dad, John. “He told me once that he wanted to win one and I said something like, ‘You know that’s a one-in-a-million chance?’ Jacob looked me dead in the eye and said, ‘Someone has to be that one’.” Jacob is not the only star in the family. Sister and “best
friend” Isabella, 23, studied at The Australian Ballet School in Melbourne. The Elordi family moved to the Victorian capital for four years after she won her place and Isabella says her next move will be to LA, to help Jacob navigate his new life. “My family (including brother Michael, 31) are my best friends on the entire planet,” Jacob says. “There was never a moment when they didn’t support me. They put me through every class and bought me every book. They let me watch any movie (and) let me take days off school to work on auditions. They helped me survive in LA last year.” Now writing a screenplay, Jacob says his ultimate goal is to return to Brisbane and bring it to life. “I’m so arrogant about Brisbane when I’m in LA,” he says. “I tell everyone I’m from Brissy and it’s the best place on earth. I got to Hollywood and realised I wanted all my friends (with me).” But home will have to wait.

PROFILE
Active pursuit Danielle Larkin designs workout wear to flatter all forms – and she’s sew happy it’s all made in Brisbane Hannah Davies Establishing a label in the competitive activewear market is no easy feat. For Brisbane designer Danielle Larkin, of d+k, the key has been to create workout wear for all shapes and sizes. “I’m passionate about making people feel confident and great in clothes,” the 27year-old says. “I really love working with body shapes and overcoming real problems that women encounter with active wear, such as a top not having enough support in the core or a pair of tights creating a muffin top.” d+k has been up and running for 18 months and is stocked in 43 retailers across Australia, as well as online. Everything is made in Brisbane. “Unfortunately, there is a massive move to get everything made out of Australia, and I am going against that because I want to bring it all back,” Danielle says. “All of our customers are very welcome to come and have a look around our headquarters at Virginia, and see the whole design and production process from start to finish.”
The Paddington resident nearly missed her fashion calling when, after graduating from Mt St Michael’s College at Ashgrove, she embarked on an interior design degree at QUT. She dropped out to pursue fashion. “I always used to sew with my grandmother as a little girl and eventually I realised that this is what I wanted to do,” Danielle says. “After leaving uni, I found a pattern maker in Brisbane and took on a more hands-on approach to learning. She taught me everything I know.” Now preparing to debut her spring-summer collection at Brisbane Fashion Month next month, Danielle is tipping colour blocking and versatility as the next big trends in active wear. “The spring range is based on boldness, using a fiery red for power and inspiration; and the summer collection is relaxed and chilled, with icy tones of grey and white.” Brisbane Fashion Month runs from October 1 to 31, with events including free pop-up runway shows in the city. brisbanefashionmonth.com.au; dplusk.com.au

FOOD + DRINK
Funky fusion A leafy, laneway bar near the Gabba scores with Japanese street-food bites and an edgy drinks list RESTAURANT Tony Harper Superfly Funk Eye – what a handle, and one obviously NOT aimed at the over-50s. The name promises a meandering path to somewhere out of kilter – and it delivers. There is indeed a meandering path, pedestrian only, off Gibbon St leading to the venue. It sets the scene, builds expectation. What you find on arrival is a small, tucked away place, with an equally small offering – a mere eight dishes on the menu, plus a couple of specials – and a very concise drinks list. If there are 40 seats in the place, I’d be surprised. There are just a few tables in the courtyard and stools in the small room that holds the kitchen and bar. It comes from a variation of the credentialed team that has Hai Hai Ramen, King Tea and Remy’s in Paddington; Special Rub in Coorparoo. Add up the genres ... Japanese, Chinese and American; the sort of cultural splatter that generally makes me nervous. But the sibling restaurants are clever, if not necessarily buffed, honed, authentic in the way that, for example, Sichuan Bang Bang hugs its roots. Instead, they do contemporary pastiches of their chosen cultures, and they do them quite well in a Lacoste-meets-hipster kind of way. Here it is Japanese street food, sort of. There’s a special of kingfish tonnato, a Superfly variant on the Italian vitello tonnato. And it’s a very, very good fusion, making the most of that creamy, dryly textured tonnato sauce, thinly sliced, justseared kingfish on top, like discs of radish: imaginative and beautifully concocted. And it’s $12. Truly. Of the nine listed dishes, we have a

crack at five, including an over-the-top dessert of s’mores, an American invention of marshmallows, chocolate and biscuit ($10). It’s too much for me. Karaage chicken ($10) is splendid; pork-belly bao ($8 for two) so-so; and pork ramen ($16) is at the delicate end of the spectrum. I’m talked into brussels sprouts ($14): great decision and a super rendition. I generally abhor the things but, just like cauliflower and broccoli, they can be
disguised and dolled up with glamorous additions such as yuzu yoghurt, black fungi, cashews. I’m a convert. It’s tasty food – at times surprising, unexpected – that delivers a lot more than the meagre prices suggest, and it comes out hot and fast. The drink offering follows similar themes of brevity, value and a youthful target audience. Not a bottle of Penfolds in sight. Instead there is a collection of
Japanese whiskies, a couple of sakés, a small run of cocktails and a handful of edgy wines from small, innovative producers – Billy Button, Bellwether, Unico Zelo, Ministry of Clouds. Superfly Funk Eye is the kind of place we love to visit in other cities while moaning about the lack of them in Brisbane. Sitting in its arbour-like courtyard feels like sitting somewhere not in Brisbane. But it is here. And it’s terrific.

CULTURE
GOLDEN ERA … A six-fold screen, c.1650, with pine trees and gold leaf is among Japanese artworks from QAGOMA’s collection on show in the A Fleeting Bloom exhibition.
Screen stars Japanese artworks capture moments of fleeting beauty GALLERIES Phil Brown Poets and philosophers tell us that beauty is fleeting and they are right. This is where art comes into the picture because art can capture that transient beauty. And so we have A Fleeting Bloom: Japanese Art from the Collection, a fascinating display of Japanese art treasures that we are lucky to have as part of the QAGOMA collection. Tarun Nagesh, who is curator of Asian and Pacific Art at QAGOMA, and assistant curator Emily Wakeling, pored over these treasures, selecting highlights for this gorgeous, contemplative exhibition.
It will be on until next year with some rotation of works along the way, so I suggest several viewings. Tarun describes the gallery’s Japanese holdings as “the deepest collection within Asian art” at QAGOMA. “It’s also a collection that has a long history and one of significant donations,” Tarun says. Screens and scrolls gifted through the James Fairfax AC Bequest form the backbone of the exhibition and they are particularly beautiful. Tarun describes the Japanese aesthetic as “unique”. “There are a number of different influences – many of them they made their own,” he says pointing out that Shinto
and Buddhist philosophy informs this rich aesthetic. The exhibition focuses on the moments of distinct and transient beauty found in the portrayals of nature, history and spirituality in Japanese art. The display includes ceramics, photography and sculpture, as well as those gorgeous scrolls and screens. The folding screen format of painting reached its peak during the Edo period (1603-1868). In these works, artists created landscapes of the changing seasons and also depicted literary scenes across a series of panels. Hanging scrolls, known as kakemono, provided a more intimate expression of figurative painting, calligraphy and poetry. The ceramic works often reflect an aesthetic celebrating imperfection. There is photography from the beginning of the Meiji era (1868-1912), and these photos capture the moment in history when influences and technologies were beginning to interact with traditional
life as the nation was on the verge of social transformation. Until then, Japan had been a country largely cut off from the outside world by edicts handed down by the shoguns who ruled for many centuries. Having such a closed society allowed the development of this distinct Japanese cultural aesthetic that is reflected in the art of Japan. As Tarun points out, that aesthetic is not only applied in the art world. But it is in the art of Japan that it is most distilled, and this exhibition shows this distillation of culture, religion and philosophy, and how that is reflected in various forms of art. It’s the screens that are the hero pieces – exquisite artworks inspiring contemplation and worth spending quite a bit of time standing in front of.

FILM
Cause for alarm A sense of danger ticks away like a time bomb in this dark fairytale
Vicky Roach THE HOUSE WITH A CLOCK IN ITS WALLS (PG) hhhkj Director: Eli Roth Starring: Jack Black, Cate Blanchett, Owen Vaccaro Running time: 105 minutes Director Eli Roth’s first foray into PG-rated territory will test small or sensitive children. But good fairytales often do. What’s more surprising about the Hostel franchise creator’s follow-up to the moribund Death Wish remake he released in Australia earlier this year is that it’s actually quite interesting.
Without recourse to the grisly over-thetop violence and gratuitous gore that has been his trademark modus operandi up until now, Roth is forced to dig a little deeper. The discipline does him good. Artfully eccentric performances from Roth’s three lead cast members keep The House with a Clock in Its Walls’ cogs and gears turning. After a practice run in the horror comedy Goosebumps, Jack Black is now a master of the family-friendly dark arts. There’s more at stake for his second-rate warlock, Jonathan Barnavelt, in this creepier, more cogent variation on the theme, based on John Bellairs’ 1973 Gothic fantasy. And Black’s performance is beautifully matched by that of Cate Blanchett as the formidable Florence Zimmerman, a purple
witch of extraordinary power and passion. The pair’s verbal jousting cements their status as old, dear friends. There is also something genuinely odd about Owen Vaccaro’s characterisation of Barnavelt’s nephew, Lewis, who moves to New Zebedee, Michigan, to live with his black-sheep uncle after his parents are killed in a car crash. In a cinematic world of cutesified misfits, the pint-sized stoic stands apart – even his flying cap and goggles feel more like armour than affectation. Barnavelt’s ticking house is dangerously intriguing – not just to Lewis. Roth channels his own inner 10-year-old to summon just the right combination of awe, fear, curiosity and transgression as the orphan explores his strange new environment.
Lewis’s limited perspective – his guardians protect him from the full extent of the danger – adds to the tension by leaving his flank open to evil forces. When Kyle MacLachlan’s dark-hearted villain and his shapeshifting paramour (Renee Elise Goldsberry) rise from the grave, Roth keeps the horror just this side of an M rating. The malevolent dolls and regurgitating pumpkins are nicely attuned to the feverish imagination of a child. At no point during the film is the audience in doubt that Lewis’s new world – without parents – harbours dangerous secrets. But by the time the credits roll, he has summoned the strength and skills required to survive them.
He gets his wish when a well-executed cyber attack reveals the identity of all the active undercover agents in Britain. Recalled to head office, English offs his three better qualified rivals (Michael
Gambon, Charles Dance and Edward Fox) in an unfortunate accident involving an exploding pen that plays out as textbook Atkinson. Desperate times … Emma Thompson’s expertly exasperated, popular voteconscious prime minister has no choice but to sanction the incompetent agent’s return. Accompanied by his trusty sidekick, Bough (Miller), English sets out to catch the evil mastermind. Being a Luddite (as well as a not-so-holy fool), English has no use for the departmentissue smart phone – fortunately, his lack of an online presence renders him invisible to the digitally focused villain. Instead, he plumps for a classic spy kit, which the resident boffin retrieves from the dusty outer reaches of storage. His gadgets include magnetic boots, a steam-punk cat-burglar suit and jelly(gnite) babies. Johnny English Strikes Again plays fast and loose with British stereotypes … and for the most part it works.
JOHNNY ENGLISH STRIKES AGAIN (PG) hhhjj Director: David Kerr Starring: Rowan Atkinson, Ben Miller, Olga Kurylenko Running time: 89 minutes Rowan Atkinson’s bumbling MI6 agent is stuck in something of a time warp. The third instalment in the Johnny English franchise turns this potential limitation to its advantage by actively embracing the character’s anachronistic behaviour in the storyline. With Britain’s Brexit deadline fast approaching, it might almost be argued that the Francophobic Bond wannabe has something serious to say to contemporary audiences about nostalgia and economic nationalism. But that’s a line of inquiry that will take us only so far. When this old-school spy spoof opens, English is teaching at a co-ed boarding school. His students adore him – because he V1 - BNSE01Z01MA
ignores the education syllabus to instruct them on important everyday skills such as camouflage and surveillance – but the disgraced MI6 agent is still hankering for a real assignment.

Heart strings Violin virtuoso thrills to the magic that only happens on stage Fiona Purdon
CALL THE TUNE ... German violinist Arabella Steinbacher will perform with the QSO.
Arabella Steinbacher believes in the emotional power of music. The virtuoso violinist has been playing Bruch’s Concerto No.1 for Violin and Orchestra, Op 26, since the age of 11, but says the years since have altered her perception of it. She will perform the popular piece, “full of beautiful melodies’’, with the Queensland Symphony Orchestra at the Beauty and Power concert at QPAC on Friday. “Every time I play the piece I hear something new and feel something different. I related to it as an 11year-old, but I would like to think I play it differently now because you bring all your emotions and life experience. Also, as you get older, you become more brave and you feel more freedom,’’ says the German violinist, speaking from her Munich home. Bruch’s concerto is especially close to Arabella’s heart because she studied it with her father Alexander, a well-known pianist and choral teacher, and she has fond memories of home concerts. “My father passed away 10 years ago but he loved the second movement very much. This is the magic of music – you always have a connection with other elements of your life. It was a natural thing for us to make music together at home.” Arabella started playing the violin when she was
three years old after her mother, Kyoko, heard of a German teacher who used the Suzuki method. “My mum is Japanese, and she came to Germany to study singing and fell in love with my father. That is another thing music does.’’ Arabella, who will also play the Walton Symphony No.1 in B flat minor, says the concert with the QSO has been two years in the making. “I’ve been to Queensland for holidays – mainly the Great Barrier Reef – but now I will get to perform here. I’ve heard wonderful things about the orchestra. I’m curious about the (QPAC) Concert Hall and the audience in Brisbane.’’ Arabella, 36, has spent the past 18 years travelling the world, performing about 70 concerts a year at venues such as New York’s Carnegie Hall. She was elevated to soloist status as a teenager. “There is much more (to it) than to be able to play all the concertos. You have to love the lifestyle of travelling all the time and to always be in a different hotel. I love playing concerts and people obviously love what I did. When I get on stage ... it’s magic. “A soloist has that freedom to just play what you feel in that moment.’’ Queensland Symphony Orchestra’s Beauty and Power, Morning Masterworks, QPAC, Concert Hall, Oct 5, 11am, qso.com.au

HEALTHY WOMEN
NEED HEALTHY BONES “Being a healthy woman means more than just checking your breasts. It also means checking your bone density. Osteoporosis, the disease of extremely low bone density, affects 1 in 3 women over the age of 50*. A BMD test is a specialised, non-invasive scan that assesses the density of your bones. It provides diagnostic quality information about bone strength, as well as risk of fractures.

There are no symptoms of osteoporosis before your ďŹ rst fracture, so it is essential for women aged 50 years and older to have a BMD to determine their baseline bone density. Your results will help you and your GP to decide whether dietary and/or other treatment options are appropriate, to maximise your health and wellbeing as you age for as long as possible.
Healthy women need healthy bones at all stages in life.

DESIGNER STAY
I
n a holiday house on a quiet corner block in the heart of Byron Bay’s tightly held old town, a collection of thoughtfully designed rooms offers the ultimate family getaway. A large children’s bedroom with bunk beds and a speckled wallpaper ceiling holds baskets full of dress-up costumes and universally loved toys, deep shelves filled with storybooks and animated DVDs. The nearby master bedroom opens to a private deck with an outdoor island bath surrounded by lush tropical gardens, a hanging chair and an inviting circular daybed. At the end of the hallway the home, which sleeps 10, opens to a designer kitchen and sun-drenched living rooms. The Barefoot Bay Cottage is the creation of Melissa Bonney, director of The Designory, and her husband Brendon Bott of B2 Construction. As a couple they have spent 20 years holidaying in Byron Bay, the past 10 with their three children in tow. “It’s one of those places you leave feeling at peace with yourself,” Melissa says. V1 - BNSE01Z01MA
Cottage industry A Byron Bay abode blends old-world charm with designer dash for the ultimate holiday rental, writes Tonya Turner After combining their skills to flip houses, the couple decided to design and build a luxury holiday home in their beloved coastal town. “We fell in love with the house and the block of land, and ended up buying it and making it our next project,” Melissa says. Opposite a lush nature reserve, the renovated cottage is filled with natural light and decorated in a palette of fresh white, sage green, deep navy and concrete grey tones. “It was important to us to get the feel of the house right so that it captured the essence of Byron Bay. We wanted guests to
feel relaxed from the moment they walk into the house. It has a special energy about it,” Melissa says. The cottage’s exterior is just as heavenly as its interior. There’s a heated swimming pool, a thick lawn to kick a ball around on, bikes to go exploring through the streets of Byron, a huge outdoor dining table, built-in bench seating and a lounge area. On cool nights you can also fire up the IXL Fresco heater or grab one of the soft blankets rolled up in the nearby basket for warmth. For Melissa and Brendon, making the home unique was a priority.
“We’ve travelled to Byron quite a lot and there’s a distinct look repeated a lot, which is white interiors with bohemian touches and coastal palettes,” Melissa says. “We didn’t want to repeat what everybody else was doing – we wanted to deliver something that spoke to the beach and the hinterland, which is a part of Byron for us that really delivers that magic. We wanted to connect to both in a way that was more authentic to us as a design team.” Overall, they were striving for a look that was Australian coastal luxe with hints of quintessential Byron chic. “It does still have those hints of the eclectic, but there are beautiful old pieces in the house and we’ve worked really hard to deliver a lot of texture, as well as the beautiful greens from the hinterland, and the beach tones and sandy stone colours to deliver that connection to nature.” It’s the ultimate luxe Byron getaway.

risbane has a compelling city vision – a subtropical river city, positioned at the edge of the Pacific Ocean. “It’s an identity that should be embraced because if Brisbane only sees itself as a smaller sibling to Sydney and Melbourne, it will never reach its full potential,” says Singapore-based Australian architect Richard Hassell. “Its subtropical character is something really unique and special. And I think being special is better than being a leader.” The meandering Brisbane River, verdant landscape and balmy subtropical climate are among our city’s most valuable assets. Each has helped its identity and contributed to our enviable year-round outdoor lifestyle that’s so attractive to a global market.

“A blue sky and green view should … be celebrated and enhanced,” says Brisbane-based landscape architect Nathalie Ward. “To attract talent we need to be a liveable city that embraces its natural and city-shaping assets.” Embracing Brisbane’s climate and landscape is the core philosophy behind a variety of projects designed to strengthen Brisbane’s subtropical identity. One of these is 443 Queen St, designed by Singapore architecture firm WOHA, in collaboration with Brisbane architecture firm Architectus for Cbus property. WOHA founder Richard Hassell drew inspiration from Brisbane’s river, subtropical climate and outdoor living culture to create the fantastical garden tower. The open, “breathing” building sets individual apartments in gardens, with abundant daylight, breezes and views.

“You don’t appreciate how green the city is until you step back and observe it, or you see it from the air,” Richard says. He says high-rise buildings don’t have to be dry, sterile environments when they can be as lush and green as those on the ground. “(443 Queen St) makes the ideal way to enjoy living in the city, in a three-dimensional garden that reaches up into the sky.” Apart from the creation of verdant garden towers to transform the city’s landscape, Nathalie says protecting and transforming the river and parklands will strengthen Brisbane’s natural heritage. She says green city strategies are recognised globally as important in defining city image and creating healthy urban environments for people to live and work in. “Brisbane’s unique balance between urban and natural,

LAST WORD
Phil Brown My crime? I had taken one of those plastic brains out of a model torso used in science class and placed it on the teacher’s desk, wearing my glasses I could say that I was blessed with a good memory, but that wouldn’t be quite accurate. It’s sometimes more of a curse than a blessing, actually, because I recall in excruciating detail the worst moments as well as the best. I have one of those cinematic memories. I can close my eyes and conjure up little movies of my life in intricate detail. And I can conjure the feelings that go with those moments, too. Funnily, many of the bad memories involve my misadventures at high school. Take, for example, the time I got the cane at Miami High – six of the best from an assistant headmaster who was little short of a psychopath. My crime? I had taken one of those plastic brains out of a model torso used in science class and placed it on the teacher’s desk, wearing my glasses. So when the teacher turned around there was this brain looking at her. For that I was sent to the assistant
headmaster’s office and he made me sit outside for an hour before he saw me. I could hear the thwack of the cane being administered to the student who was in there before me. When I went in, I was given a stern talking to and then told that I wasn’t going to be caned, although, on second thoughts, he said, yes, maybe he would cane me to teach me a lesson. What a sadist. I can recall every stroke of that cane and can feel it stinging now as I write this. I wish I couldn’t remember it, actually. I can recall also, quite vividly, the embarrassment I felt on my first date when I took a girl to the pictures and she groaned when I put on my spectacles. I can also remember the ignominy of being beaten up by a boy called Ray. And the agony of those long summer days when each minute at that school dragged like an eternity. I can also recall, in mind-numbing
detail, the worst job I ever had, working as a labourer one Christmas on the construction of the Hinze Dam. We sweltered and toiled like slaves in some sword and sandal epic in soaring temperatures. If I close my eyes now I can feel the heat and recall the horror of looking at my watch and realising I still had four hours of digging ahead of me before knock-off time. I can recall also the elation when I was sacked from that job. “Let go,” they said. “Thank you,” I said, and the foreman looked confused. I can remember all these moments and more – vividly, much better than I can recall the good times. Although I can conjure the highlights, too, like that first time I stood up on a surfboard at Northcliffe just south of Surfers Paradise around Christmas 1969. And the time my son hit his first six at cricket one Saturday morning. I can see that ball sailing into space even now. See, I have good memories, too.

ADVERTORIAL
Luxury retreat is a haven
on the hill Impressive lifestyle awaits at this Hamptons-style home Described as a “luxury retreat”, this Hamptons-style home sits on a sprawling 2278sq m lot in one of Brisbane’s most exclusive suburbs. The 1960s tri-level residence at 48 Markwell St, Hamilton, is the home of Eat Street co-founder John Harrison and his family. “We have been here for 16 years and raised our three kids,” John says. “We are tennis players but when we saw the 11ft deep pool with diving board … and the fact it felt like we were on acreage in a
great suburb so close to the city, we knew we wanted to live here.” John says the family have fully renovated the house, and made many memories over the years. Entry to the sprawling, leafy haven is via a private road. Outside there is a tennis court, resort-style pool and hardwood timber deck and entertaining area. On the ground level, there is also a guest bedroom, bathroom, laundry and office. The second floor is where you will find another five bedrooms including a sunken main suite with a balcony, walk-in wardrobe and luxurious ensuite. There is also a family bathroom on this level.

The vast living space is located on the third floor, which includes a living room with adjoining dining area that is perfect for entertaining, a second living and dining zone, a gourmet kitchen with sleek stone benchtops, an island bench, gas cooktop, dual ovens and a servery window. Glass doors lead out on to an outdoor entertaining space that overlooks the home’s lush gardens. Additional features include side entry to the deck and pool area, a two-car garage with ample storage space, B&D roller door smartphone app control (internet hub connection) and a front door intercom system with answering points on each level.

Modern charm A meticulous renovation has transformed this family-sized Queenslander into an entertainer’s dream, with vast living and entertainment spaces featuring charming period accents and modern amenities. Agent Dwight Ferguson describes the house as a classic character Queenslander that presents the ideal residence for executive families with a flair for entertaining. “Showcasing a stunning double gabled facade with fresh white aesthetic and manicured gardens, this five-bedroom home welcomes you inside via a grand entry staircase and enclosed, private veranda,” he says. “Adorned with a range of traditional features including polished timber flooring, soaring ceilings, VJ walls, decorative breezeways and stained-glass windows, old world charm seamlessly blends with new world style to create the perfect balance of form and function.” Living and dining areas on the upper level open to the front veranda via french doors, while the rear kitchen and casual meals and lounge spaces flow to a deck.
“In addition, the open-plan kitchen boasts sleek stone benchtops, island bench with breakfast bar, stainless-steel appliances and a gas cooktop,” Dwight says.
