FIRST PERSON

““I am Wesley Golledge ” … and I’m a professional punter In the late ’80s, I got a job pushing punts on the Avon River in Christchurch as a uni student. I personally widened the river bank within the first two weeks. It’s not as easy as it looks, although pushing the punt is all to do with technique rather than strength.

I never graduated, but I did set up my own business on the Avon River, and now run Punting On The Lake in the Royal Botanic Gardens.

I had the idea for punting in the gardens when I was on holidays in Australia.

I saw the lake and thought it’d make a great place for a punt, so when they finished work on the wetlands’ project and brought water back into it, I put in an application. In 2011 I sold up in New Zealand, but there was about two-and-a-half years of red tape before putting the punts on the lake.

The three punts we use are copies of Cambridge punts, built with Australian jarrah and Victorian ash. It took about two months for them to be made – there’s a lot of gluing one piece in place and then waiting for two days that goes on. My winter job every year is to sand and varnish them.

Punting here is seasonal, in the sense that from June through to August we operate on weekends only; then we operate every day from September through to the end of May. Boxing Day through to Valentine’s Day is our peak season.

I dress as an Edwardian-style boater, with lovely high-waisted trousers and braces. I feel we have to dress the part – it’s not a job to do in jeans and a T-shirt. People always ask me how many times I’ve fallen out and the answer is some, so I keep a spare set of clothes in the office. It happens.

My favourite part of the job is pushing the punt and talking to the customers. I always got in trouble at school for talking so much, and now I get paid for it. Enjoying lunch or a late dinner in your own boat at the end of the day, and watching the bats fly in at twilight for a drink are pretty special, too.

I’ve had 118 marriage proposals in our punts so far, and they’ve all said yes. Don’t ask me what I’m going to do if someone ever says no – it’d be awkward, wouldn’t it? I guess I’ll just have to say, “Oh look, there’s a duck”. ●

COVER STORY

Former Essendon captain Jobe Watson credits the trials of his footy career to finding a new sense of purpose in New York City.

Field of dreams A

baby on the way. An expanding Manhattan coffee empire. A new gym in one of New York’s hottest neighbourhoods.

Even Jobe Watson is startled by how much his life has changed in the past two years.

Today the former Essendon skipper radiates happiness and tranquillity, but this wasn’t always the case. At the start of 2016, Watson was in a tough place. At the height of his career, he was handed a 12-month ban by the AFL, had become a central figure in the harrowing three-year supplement scandal that decimated his beloved club, and his passion for football was waning.

“I was really uncertain about what the future looked like for myself and where I was really at,” Watson says. “I think I’d lost the passion for that industry and I’d probably become affected by what had happened.”

“I just decided that I really wanted to be somewhere else and I wanted do something else and I wanted to experience different things.”

also runs a property business. His first child with his partner, Dutch model Virginia Slaghekke, is due in September.

They met at a cafe in Williamsburg when Watson wrote his number on a napkin and, while it took her six weeks to get back to him, they’ve been inseparable since.

Despite his best intentions, Watson didn’t touch a football the entire eight months he was in New York and says he grappled with the decision to come back to Melbourne to play a final season for the Bombers in 2017.

“I guess I was a bit hesitant to go back into it, but I felt like it was what I wanted to do. I really felt like it was important to finish the career on my own terms and go out that way — to go out and play with the other guys; to play for the club; and also for the fans and supporters.

“It probably would have just felt unfinished and a little bit open-ended as a career.”

When asked whether he will return to football in a coaching position, he says he currently has his mind on other things.

“If I really want to go back into football it’s because I’ve tried different things and I’ve realised, ‘no, footy is really what I love and that’s what I want to do’, rather than just doing it because it’s safe and

“If I look back on what happened in 2016; there were all those feelings of fear and anxiety and pressure and uncertainty, but that was where all the opportunities for everything that happened came from.”

And what could be more different than New York City? With no job and no plans, Watson packed his bags and headed for the Big Apple; a city where he knew just two people. Little could he comprehend how much the decision would change the course of his life.

We’re speaking to Watson over breakfast at Hole in the Wall, his cafe in New York’s Financial District. He is in town for just two weeks to open his new gym, an F45 franchise in Williamsburg, and to scout locations for another cafe.

While many footballers and athletes talk about the struggles they face with identity in retirement, Watson, 33, has gone from strength to strength.

He credits his year off, which included eight months of working as a barista in New York, as an incredible opportunity that allowed him to discover who he was; something he says athletes don’t get a chance to do.

“I got great perspective on life by being here on

what’s important and what I found interesting.

Those gap years that people do when they’re at university about ‘who am I?’; what do I like?’; ‘what do I want to be?’ — as an athlete, you don’t have those questions, so I think that leads to fear and uncertainty, and that creates anxiety and depression.”

“People [in New York] didn’t have any knowledge of what had happened and what was going on. I think it just allowed me to be willing to try new things and have new experiences.”

Watson speaks passionately about the need for professional footballers to find renewed purpose in retirement.

“The whole idea: ‘nothing is as good as what it once was’ — it’s never going to be like that. That’s not what life is about, looking in a rear view mirror.

You have to look forward. But you can’t look forward comfortably without knowing you who are.”

Today, Watson is based in Melbourne where he

it’s all I know. To me, that’s not really interesting.

I’m not really an interesting person if I’m just doing one thing all my life.”

Listening to Watson speak today, it’s hard not to be struck by how at peace he is with his past; how he credits it for everything good that is in his life now.

“I think when you go through that kind of change, you have resistance to it, and there’s adversity and there’s fear attached with it,” he says.

“If I look back on what happened in 2016; there were all those feelings of fear and anxiety and pressure and uncertainty, but that was where all the opportunities for everything that happened came from. At the time, I wouldn’t have thought anything like that. That’s often, I think, the case – change creates so much uncertainty and fear, but that’s where the growth is.” ● ● holeinthewallnyc.com

s this is my first issue, I wanted to write about my heritage and about the food I grew up eating; food that my mum cooked and placed on the dinner table.

Growing up in the Chan household, where food was the main agenda of the day, has definitely shaped my palate and having lived in Malaysia for the first 18 years of my life means that Malaysian food has an emotional connection to me.

Most of the food preparation takes hours and the recipes are generally very complex; not using any measurements and going by feel and taste.

Moving to Melbourne at the age of 19 ignited my passion for cooking. It was here where I taught myself how to cook through watching lots of food and travel shows and relying on my palate and skills, which I learnt growing up while watching mum and dad prepare our meals every day. ●

Method Make a paste by blending all the ingredients in the spice mix into a smooth paste.

■ Fry off the spice paste in a wok or a saucepan with oil for about 3-5 mins or until fragrant. Bruise the tops of the leftover lemongrass and add them.

■ Then add the kaffir-lime leaves and tomatoes, and cook for a few minutes. Add the water and tamarind paste, stirring through. Add the sugar and stir until dissolved.

■ In the meantime, salt the fillets liberally and add to the wok or saucepan. Let the fish cook halfway through for 3-5 mins. Add the Vietnamese mint and okra, cover with a lid and allow to simmer and soften the vegetable for another 5 mins. Remove the lid and add extra lime juice and salt, if needed. You are looking for a balance of sourness, sweetness and a slight hint of spiciness.

■ To serve, remove the fillets of fish and place in a serving bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients and top with a few sprigs of fresh Vietnamese mint as garnish. Serve with steamed jasmine rice. ● ■

ou say “self care”, I say High Street, Armadale. I’m in jeans strolling down from the Malvern library off tram route 6 but after seeing my fellow shoppers, I think I would feel more comfortable in a pair of yoga pants. Among the luxury clothing brands, salons and lush fitness boutiques, including Happy Melon Studios, this appears to be a place of pampering.

The multiple hairdressers I pass prompt thoughts of a spontaneous haircut, but instead I vouch for my own dose of self care, in the waves of chilli scrambled eggs at Moby. The bacon makes my meal rich and addictive and, with the generous parmesan on top, I can see why it’s the best-seller. Then it’s Gardiner and Field, a tucked-away house-turnedcafe on the Armadale back streets, which makes for a perfect caffeine pit stop.

If it’s more shopping on your mind, rather than food, you could even furnish your house while you’re at it. There are plenty of antique stores selling pieces going as far back as the 18th century, plants to create a leafy indoor oasis, and unique and hard-to-find posters from Letitia Morris to decorate your walls.

You won’t have to travel far to find something you may not need, but definitely want. The perfectly curated stores of Armadale, including clothing shop Lee Mathews, are each an art form of their own. But High Street doesn’t just have your health, home and style sorted, it’s got your wedding attire, too. Even if you’re not planning any nuptials, it’s hard to pass up admiring the gowns on display in the windows.

After all, there’s a therapy of its own kind here in this well-heeled enclave and, as it proves, yoga pants are not so essential. ●

Something that I’ve learnt (especially with having a young family) is just how much better your relationships will be when you’re not distracted.

I’ll admit it, I used to be a hypocrite. I would ask (daughter) Eve not to bring her phone to the table for dinner and even though I didn’t have mine either and there was no physical distraction, there was all

too often a mental one. This sense of detachment was something I realised I was doing even when I was eating food. As simple as it may sound, I was forgetting to be grateful for how lucky I was to sit down with my family for a delicious meal, prepared for me by the person I love.

It made me realise that, unfortunately, being thankful for our food and really appreciative of what we’ve got in front of us is all too often overlooked.

Eating mindfully goes well beyond gratitude and reflection, it can help control over-eating and bingeeating, meaning you feel more in touch with the body’s internal hunger and satiety signals.

This means that when you’re distracted and scoffing down your dinner in front of the latest episode of MasterChef MasterChef, the body’s nervous and

digestive system is also distracted. This can act as a roadblock for digestion and cause bloating, cramping and decreased absorption of nutrition from our meals.

In this fast-paced world, where we’re constantly faced with distractions, I’m a big believer in the benefits of including mindfulness in the smallest ways into our everyday routine. So, here are a few simple strategies to focus on when eating mindfully.

Remove screens and any other distractions (no phone, no emails, no scrolling through Instagram).

■ Sit down and focus on your food and the company with you.

■ Pay particular attention to the smell, taste and texture of your food.

■

SAM WOOD

Notice how your body feels after eating.

Express gratitude towards the food you have, the person who prepared it for you and how it is nourishing your body.

I remember as a kid rolling my eyes, as sitting down at the dinner table as a family was something by dad was very big on. Funnily enough, the apple hasn’t fallen far from the tree as it’s now me insisting on this, and Eve is rolling her eyes at me.

I know this sounds like I’m taking the simple pleasure of eating dinner to perhaps an unnecessary level, but you need to trust me when I say it’s one of those things that you simply will not appreciate until you try it. ●

This place has soul. A lofty dwelling within a former church, two blocks from the beach and two from Armstrong Street’s cafes, it must be one of the closest things to heaven Middle Park can offer.

The mighty red-brick edifice was built in 1922 as the Anglican Church of St Anselm. In 2001 St Anselm’s merged with St Silas’ in Albert Park, and the building was developed into five residences, each completely different from the next. The original stained glass went to St Silas, hence the modern floral leadlight now gracing the pointed-arch windows. This two-storey, lock-and-leave apartment will appeal to busy professionals and downsizers with openplan living and dining on the ground floor and, upstairs, one huge bedroom with twin en suites. The bedroom was built as two rooms and can be converted back.

A little path wends through shrubbery to the apartment’s tall front doors. Skylights and leadlights illuminate the living and dining area, which gleams in polished jarrah. At the western end is an atrium, and it’s here the venerable old architecture comes to the fore in curved buttresses and beams. A white pendant resembling reindeer horns adds an angelic touch. In the kitchen, AEG appliances nestle amid solid timber cabinetry that complements the floor’s auburn glow. The Calacatta marble waterfall island has soft-closing drawers and a breakfast bar.

A black spiral staircase leads to the mezzanine-style bedroom, whose glass internal balcony is screened by a lacy swathe of laser-cut balsa. Two enormous, sliding-door wardrobes and two en suite bathrooms ensure a clear

The gold rushes of the 1850s transformed Victoria.

Overnight Melbourne became a global port, as the lure of gold proved irresistible. People in their thousands flocked from Europe, America and China for the chance to escape lives of relentless toil.

Dr. Tony Stubbs, Eye Surgeon, says that just about anyone can have their vision restored and be rid of their glasses for most of the time. And this is without the use of laser surgery.

Dr Stubbs formerly at the Royal Victorian Eye Hospital who has worked with the Fred Hollows eye department at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney, says he began his career through the inspiration of his father, Dr Maxwell Stubbs.

“My father was a pioneer in cataract implant surgery from 1963! He has now passed away but some of his patients still come in for a check-up. Not only is this inspirational, it also demonstrates that good surgery outlasts the surgeon,” Dr Stubbs says.

A specialist who helps people who have been advised they are unsuitable for laser surgery, Dr Stubbs is also committed to demonstrating that age, corneal distortion or astigmatism are no barriers to eliminating the need for glasses.

One of my best moments was treating a 12-year-old girl who was struggling at school because of poor vision due to congenital cataracts even with the use of thick glasses. Now 10 years later, she still has 20/20 vision without glasses. That inspires me.

“Seeing my patients’ bright smiles after surgery, as they stop squinting and can read without glasses, is definitely the best part of my job.”

No referral is needed and no out-of-pocket expenses are incurred for an assessment to enable all options available to be considered.
