LEATHER SOUL \ THE NEXT READ

F

or a first-time author, Christian White has certainly aimed high. The Nowhere Child is an intriguing mystery that spans continents and decades. It is an ambitious tale of stolen identity and dark family secrets that won White the 2017 Victorian Premier’s Literary Award for an unpublished manuscript.

We are introduced to Kim Leamy, a Melbourne TAFE teacher. Her world is tuned upside down when she is approached by a stranger, who tells Kim her real name is Sammy Went. And, what’s worse, Sammy went missing in Manson, Kentucky as a toddler 28 years ago.

From there, White builds a suspenseful journey that takes us from Coburg to small-town America, as Kim nervously explores a past radically different to the one she looks back on in Australia.

The story flicks back and forth from the present to 1990s Kentucky. We’re introduced to fictitious Manson, at the foot of the Appalachian Mountains, where people came ‘for the hiking trails and good ol’ fashioned Southern hospitality’. All is not what it seems. Scandal and shame lurk not too far from the surface of the rustic charm. Manson is in the grip of an extreme fundamentalist church and the disappearance of two-year-old Sammy Went sets off a devastating chain of events.

Nearly 30 years later, Kim (or Sammy) pieces together her life through a series of awkward, painful reunions and moments of sheer terror.

There are many moving parts, but White skilfully manages to weave together what is ultimately a tale of love and redemption. ●

LIFE of RILEY

“No one would have ever said in Australia when I was young, ‘you are going to be a comedian’. It was like it wasn’t a job for women.”

GINA RILEY

S

ome time in the mid-’80s, Gina Riley remembers stepping on to the stage for the first time ever as a stand-up comedian, in an era when it was extremely rare for a woman to do so.

It was at the Dick Whittington Tavern in Chapel Street, St Kilda, and she was terrified.

“I got up, and I thought I was going to faint,” she says. “It was one of those moments where I thought, ‘oh god, what is happening?’ All the blood rushed to my head.

“I can’t remember what I did, but I came off and said, ‘that was terrible,’ and Glenn Robbins and Richard Stubbs were there and they both said that wasn’t terrible; you will know terrible when it happens.”

Riley had done theatre before; but that night at the then Melbourne comedy hot spot was her first solo effort.

Stubbs remembers the night really well. He says Riley “shone” up on stage, and it was obvious she had real talent.

“It’s funny, sometimes people who are really talented, they think they are not; they just need that little bit of encouragement at the beginning,” he says. “She is brilliant.”

Thankfully Riley continued and, at 57, she is a treasured figure in the Australian comedy and entertainment world.

Not only that, she is someone who has had a real impact on Australia’s cultural psyche, thanks to shows like Fast Forward, Big Girl’s Blouse, and of course, playing the iconic Kim, in Kath & Kim – which she and her co-star, great friend Jane Turner, also wrote.

It’s unlikely the girls from Fountain Lakes will be back. “For the 20th anniversary I’m not saying we wouldn’t pop a wig on for something, but I don’t think we would do another series again,” Riley says of the smash hit.

Riley has just signed on alongside a stellar cast including William McInnes, Simon Gleeson and Christie Whelan Browne in the Melbourne Theatre Company’s extravagant production of the Oscar

Wo r d s

Wilde play, An Ideal Husband. She worked with McInnes in the 1992 sitcom Bligh, playing Mr and Mrs Macarthur, which lasted only one season.

While it might have been different in the Dick Whittington days, Riley considers every role carefully before she says “yes”, and she has to really want to do it.

“I’m pretty choosey these days,” she says. “I love Oscar Wilde, and I really wanted to work with Dean Bryant, the director, and the part really resonated with me, so I thought, why not?”

G

rowing up in the Melbourne suburb or Canterbury, Riley went to school at Preshil in Kew, leaving at 15 with a dream of being a serious actor, and with comedy out of the question.

She first worked in a newsagent, before the stage beckoned.

“I didn’t call comedy, it called me,” she says. “It wasn’t a career path for a woman. No one would have ever said in Australia when I was young, ‘you are going to be a comedian’.

“It was like it wasn’t a job for women.”

It was in those early days she formed lifelong friendships with Turner, Marg Downey and Magda Szubanski.

The four became known to Australia thanks to the phenomenally successful Channel 7 show Fast Forward. Riley joined in 1990, but more importantly, as well as developing lifelong working relationships, their friendship has also endured.

The four catch up for dinner once a month, now wouldn’t that make for a great Australian television talk show?

“We have just got each others’ backs,” Riley says of the beautiful friendship between the four. “We make each other laugh, and it’s being around other people who have the exact same sensibility as you, but also have had the same experiences as you.”

Riley, Turner and Downey were burstingly proud of their long-time friend Szubanski in her efforts towards the successful “yes” vote in the same-sex marriage plebiscite last year.

LU K E D E N N E H Y ●

Ph o t o

“She was incredible; I think she swayed the vote,” Riley says.

Off the stage, Riley is a very private person.

In 2012 she was diagnosed with breast cancer and fought it; something she keeps to herself.

You won’t see her on many red carpets or at opening nights, and she has never chased fame or public recognition.

This approach is refreshing in the age of the selfies, and a fame-loving generation.

“As I get older, I really don’t want to be a public person, which sounds ridiculous with what I do,” she says.

“I’m totally boring in everyday life. I love playing tennis. Marg and I play tennis – mid-week ladies (she says in a Kath & Kim drawl) – and Jane sometimes comes in.

Riley believes she avoids the public spotlight partly because she is a comedian: “We are more observers. We are not people who super belong.”

She prefers to live a quiet life with her husband Rick McKenna, one of Australia’s top television producing and executive talents.

The couple’s daughter Maggie McKenna, now 21, is a bright star in the musical world, wowing critics and the public with her staring role as Muriel Heslop in Muriel’s Wedding: The Musical, which premiered in Sydney in November last year.

“I was bawling,” Riley says of watching Maggie on opening night. “I’m incredibly proud.”

As for the future, Riley continues to write, and when the right acting or musical role comes along, she will take it.

She will keep playing mid-week ladies’ tennis, having dinners with her life-long friends, and look on proudly as her daughter’s career takes off.

Perhaps another gig at The Dick Whittington is in order, because thankfully for Australia, that night was the start of something very special. ● AN IDEAL HUSBAND \ The Playhouse, Arts Centre Melbourne, until August 18. ● Tickets at artscentremelbourne.com.au

SIMON O’DWYER

French TWIST SYNDICATION INTERNATIONAL

tarting in the ’90s, Mick Harvey took a deep dive into the fabled French chanteur Serge Gainsbourg’s extensive back catalog. The result for the singer-songwriter, multiinstrumentalist, composer, producer, founding member of the Birthday Party and the Boys Next Door, and onetime Bad Seed, was a painstaking and respectful translation of four-albums worth of Gainsbourg’s tunes. The cycle started with 1995’s Intoxicated Man and finished with last year’s Intoxicated Woman. “I’ve taken the whole project way beyond any kind of sensible proportion,” Harvey says.

Harvey has been vindicated in the gargantuan undertaking. First, it’s been proof for an Englishspeaking audience that Gainsbourg’s songs are every bit as packed with sly humour, double entendre and sexy ennui as we suspected. Plus, the public response has been stellar. Even Jane Birkin, the actress and singer with whom Gainsbourg recorded the notoriously breathy Je t’aime moi non plus, gave it the thumbs up. “Jane said that Serge SERGE GAINSBOURG would have been happy, because he was always complaining about the fact that there were no covers of his songs – ‘why no covers?’,” Harvey says.

Now, to celebrate what would have been Gainsbourg’s 90th birthday, Harvey is bringing his favourite Gainsbourg renditions to the stage, together with his crack band the Intoxicated Men, guest singers and strings.

The show is a change of pace for Harvey. “Serge’s songs are all written and geared to be entertaining, funny and exciting, rather than challenging or difficult,” he says.

“So that, for me, is really odd. I’m not a natural entertainer.” ●

My eyes rolled when I heard a restaurant named after Thor’s hammer had opened.

But fast-forward a few months and here I am at Mjolner, shooting whisky from a marrowbone “luge”. I was a sucker for the upsell after scooping out the rich, gelatinous middle cooked in Vegemite and sprinkled with meat powder. It’s more Insta-worthy than revelatory but, like everything here, it’s fun. There’s not much to do with a bone that slides from beef short rib like a sigh, nor the wing of a half chicken, plump and moist beneath a modesty sheet of charred witlof.

Mjolner is brought to you by the crew behind Eau de Vie and Boilermaker House, so there’s a comprehensive cocktail list, and craft beer served in polished horns. For a horde of Vikings, vegetable dishes are thoughtful, especially savoy cabbage on barley risotto, heady with black garlic. I prefer the little touches to the wooden ship bow sailing through the brick, like choosing a handmade knife from a leather roll. Come dessert, a blowtorch appears table side with a too-runny mandarin bombe alaska; it’s flame hot like a Hemsworth brother. ●

A R TI SA N W H I S K Y WHISKY, WINE & FIRE \ From July 19-22 at Caulfield Racecourse. Tickets from $15. Bookings and further information: whiskywineandfire.com.au

The success of Hobart’s winter festival Dark Mofo seems to have awakened event organisers to the idea that outdoor festivals don’t need to be restricted to summer.

People’s enthusiasm for huddling around flames while eating and drinking has not gone unnoticed by the Melbourne Racing Club, which has embraced the season with its Whisky, Wine & Fire festival.

The fire side of the equation will see Caulfield racetrack light up with a “fire garden” of flaming installations, burning sculptures, fire pits and fire performers.

Then there’s the whisky, a mix of the ultra commercial (Johnnie Walker) and the artisan (Tasmania’s Belgrove Distillery). Those interested in the local artisan end of the scale will be able to sample whisky from Corowa Distilling Co. in NSW, Timboon Railway Shed from Victoria and, most local of all, Port Melbourne’s Starward whisky, made in red wine barrels using Australian barley.

The wine side of Whisky, Wine & Fire plays it straight with a solid roster of Victorian and South Australian producers such as Tahbilk, Grant Burge and St Huberts. Those wanting to know more about whisky and wine – other than how good it tastes next to a fire pit – can attend a series of masterclasses.

Food runs with the theme, centred on flaming grills and wood-fired ovens and will include delicacies by Alejandro Saravia from Peruvian restaurant Pastuso, Burn City Smokers, and Hoy Pinoy. It’s cold and dark out there. Get amongst it. ●

s adults we make around 35,000 choices every day. It’s inevitable that some of these will put your willpower to the test, like whether you have that slice of birthday cake at work.

Or whether you order the burger and chips instead of the steak and salad at dinner. Thousands of these choices will also be made without even thinking.

There’s no denying that when it comes to losing weight, having the strength to say “no, thanks” is important. But just like any other human emotion, willpower isn’t always going to stick around. When you’re stressed, tired or time poor, even those with

the strongest of willpower can find it goes right out the window. I’m always telling my clients that continually making the right choices comes down to a bit more than just your ability to say “no” but relies on a few other important factors in the lead up. So here a few strategies to help you make the right choice next time you’re faced with temptation.

ESTABLISH HEALTHY HABITS \ When you’re making 35,000 choices every day, you don’t have time to contemplate every one. I’m always talking about the importance of putting healthy habits in place – these will become like second nature that you will fall back on without even thinking.

So, think about turning any “sometimes” healthy behaviour in your routine into “all the time” habits.

ARRIVE SATISFIED \ I’ve said it before, and I’ll say

it again – failing to plan is planning to fail. If you know you’ll be in an environment where temptations are at an all-time high and that your willpower will be put to the test, make sure you’re well prepared and arrive satisfied. Having a balanced, protein-

“My nutrition philosophy has always been big on balance, and this means never making anything strictly off bounds.”

based meal will mean you’re much more likely to make the sensible choice when you spot that plate of party pies being passed around.

there’s a big delicious pile of food in front of you.

Avoid this by paying particular attention to your portions and not letting them get out of hand.

AVOID MAKING RULES \ My nutrition philosophy has always been big on balance, and this means never making anything strictly off bounds. After all, when we tell ourselves we can’t have something it becomes even more tempting and rules are made to be broken, right? Think about making decisions rather than labelling anything as strictly good or bad. When faced with temptation, this will make your decision a lot easier; we know you could have it, you’re just choosing not to.

OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND \ Remember the best way to avoid giving in to temptation? Don’t tempt yourself in the first place! Do yourself a favour and get rid of your chocolate stash and replace it with some healthy sweet alternatives (the Healthy Tam Tims on my program are my current obsession).

The reality is, we’re always going to be faced with tempting situations – that’s just life. As long as you focus on arming yourself with the tactics above, saying “no” and tackling any tempting situation head on will be easier than you think. ●

PORT MELBOURNE \ 157 CRUIKSHANK STREET 3

Ironically, for a street whose name means “bow-legged”, Cruikshank Street has been home to many fine, upstanding citizens.

One was Thomas McCormack, the Cricketers’ Arms’ publican whom we can thank for the street lighting; he petitioned for it in 1876. Another was police constable Myles Dare, who lived in this house 100 years ago. PC Dare’s intrepid pursuit of hoodlums, which made thrilling reading in The Argus, must have ensured him a good night’s sleep in what was then a cosy little cottage.

Today, his place still looks dainty. It is, in fact, two storeys of striking contemporary design, with a panoramic view north to the old Port Melbourne Town Hall.

Three double bedrooms, including a first-floor main suite with a nursery or fourth bedroom, give it awesome flex appeal to a growing family. Kids and grown-ups will love the dining, kitchen and living area, which takes up half the ground floor and opens to a decked, courtyard garden.

PC Dare would still recognise the lace-trimmed weatherboard facade, which is set well back, behind a landscaped lawn with a weeping cherry tree.

The leadlight entry leads to a side hall with ash floor boards and matt-black pendants to bounce the light around. Two carpeted bedrooms, beautifully restored, have fireplaces, wardrobes and ceiling roses. The second bedroom looks into a lightwell courtyard. The central bathroom-laundry, fully tiled, has a shower above the bath next to the lightwell.

The white stone kitchen has Smeg appliances and a

VICTORIAN FACADE.” JUSTIN HOLOD - AGENT

Take the timber and glass staircase to the main bedroom suite, a carpeted sanctuary with its own living room and attic-style study-cum-nursery. The two-way en suite leads to the bedroom, sunny and spacious with a built-in wardrobe and a private, frosted-glass balcony.

The property has security, in-roof storage, 16 solar panels and split-system climate control. ● ALISON BARCLAY editorial@domain.com.au Agent: Marshall White, Justin Holod 0411 669 161 Price: $1.8 million-$1.95 million Auction: 1.30pm, July 21

Poised between Church Street and the beach, this elegant villa is a downsizer’s delight. The compact footprint packs in a lot of accommodation: two double bedrooms, a living room, a study (or dining room) and a smartly-tailored kitchen with a meals area ensure a pleasant sense of space.

Rooms radiate from the bay-window lounge, which has hardwood floor boards and a fireplace and opens east to a landscaped courtyard. The kitchen looks good in whitepanelled cabinetry and has Bosch appliances. The main bedroom has en suite access to the bathroom, which has a bath and a shower. Behind the garage is a studio that opens to the laundry and courtyard. â—? ALISON BARCLAY Agent: Buxton, Bert Stewart 0418 350 199 Price: $900,000-$990,000 Private auction: 11.30am, July 21

‘Gold Rush: 20 Objects, 20 Stories’ presents the turbulent tale of Victoria’s gold rush through just 20 objects. From intriguing archaeological artefacts, to a frilled crinoline dress, each object has an unexpected story to tell.

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.

For Aboriginal Victorians gold meant further dispossession.

But it also presented opportunities, as objects in this exhibition will suggest.

‘Gold Rush: 20 Objects, 20 Stories’ is presented by Old Treasury Building in partnership with Public Record Office Victoria.
