The editor’s desk

Gritty King Street is an unlikely early stomping ground for a man who could pass as a modern version of Errol Flynn. But for dashing actor Rodger Corser – one of our finest television talents – appearing in pub bands on that city strip was his first taste of the spotlight. That translated into treading the boards and, decades on, Corser is the star of the popular Doctor Doctor on Channel 9; 1.2 million tune in to watch him play a gifted but scallywag heart surgeon.

Writer Luke Dennehy met Corser and discovered his strong connection to Melbourne, and the unforgettable characters of his youth. ●

FIRST PERSON

““I am Emma Jane Leah” … and I make perfumes As a scent designer, my main business is taking an idea and creating a scent to match. It’s quite a process, because it’s very difficult for people to describe what they want. I have to decode all kinds of words, ideas and imagery before I can say, “OK, that smells like this”.

I’ve been interested in scent since childhood. I always had my nose in something, whether it was the spice jars in the kitchen, the herb garden out the back, or the roses. I have a sensitive nose. I’m forever saying, “What’s that smell? Do you smell something? Something smells weird. Is that gas?”

Or, “Oh my god, I have to move because of that smell”. I’m that person.

I began with aromatherapy, but aromatherapy has a limited palate, so I started exploring. My path has included skincare, cosmetics, scent application, scent and psychology, chemistry and biology. My own perfumery was the obvious next move.

My analogy is low-waisted jeans. They don’t suit everybody, so do you get a different pair made, or just not wear jeans until high-waisted ones are back in fashion? Fragrance is so many things: it’s a memory connector, it’s intimate, it’s an expression of the self and it brings joy. But if you can’t get what suits you, what do you do? My response was to set up my own perfumery. I thought, “How hard could it be?” Famous last words.

Perfumery schools don’t really teach traditional methods anymore. They teach commercial, industrial perfumery, which isn’t a bad thing, but it’s all about what’s on the market currently. I never wanted to do that, so I’m self-taught.

Memory connection and cross-sensory experience are influencing perfumery now. It makes sense, because scent anchors memory in your brain. I’ve got so many favourite smells and combinations. I love the smell of the ocean, which sounds really cliched, but it’s just so fresh and invigorating.

A lot of it is associative, too. Experience overlaid with scent should never be underestimated. I mean, I like the smell of Bangkok and we all know that it doesn’t smell that great, but it’s exciting and you know that you’re there. It’s funny – smells are neither good nor bad; they all have their place. ● ● fleurage-natural-perfume.com.au

I

n 1997, actor Rodger Corser had what he calls an old-fashioned, sliding-doors moment.

Now 45, Corser was working at Melbourne’s Crown Casino in the audiovisual department, contracted to Steve Vizard’s Artist Services company. His job was to do anything and everything, including following Crown’s character Mr Pokie around, filming excited punters when a car was won or a huge jackpot went off.

He was also fronting a number of pub and original bands, playing all over Melbourne including on Brunswick Street in Fitzroy, and King Street in the city.

“I used to sneak out on the overnight shifts – sorry Steve,” he says. “I was playing in bands and if I had a gig on, I would literally take my pair of trousers and my shirt off, and take off and take the mobile phone with me.”

After doing a media studies degree at Deakin University’s Rusden campus, Corser initially

Rather than studying his craft at NIDA or WAAPA, as many Australian actors do, Corser learnt on the job. “I literally did my apprenticeship on screen,” he says. “I avoid watching myself from those early days, as that’s how I learnt. I was bad and you make lots of mistakes.”

Twenty years since the groundbreaking musical, Corser is one of Australia’s most recognised and popular actors. He’s had lead roles on Underbelly, McLeod’s Daughters, Water Rats and Rush, and most recently, as Dr Hugh Knight in Channel 9’s Doctor Doctor Doctor.

Series three of Doctor Doctor has just finished filming in the NSW town of Mudgee, and is now on air – the show is by far the most watched drama on Australian television. This season, Doctor Doctor is reaching a national average audience of 1.2 million.

The role – and the cast – is an actor’s dream come true, according to Corser.

“When we go to Mudgee we are away from our

“I think they tried to ask me for ID, but I walked into the pub with a guitar, so they let me in.”

Whenever he comes back to Melbourne, and perhaps whenever he drives up and down King Street, Corser is reminded of Underbelly.

He played Detective Senior Sergeant Steve Owen, the cop trying to bring down gangland identity Carl Williams in 2008’s successful Channel 9 series.

Hanging out in the band and club scene in King Street in the late 1990s, it was inevitable Corser knew some of the characters the series was about.

But just exactly who those characters are, he is keeping to himself. “I had met a couple of those guys but I didn’t know what they did back then,” Corser says. “I went to Sydney in the early 2000s when it was all happening. When I came back to film Underbelly, I bumped into some of the guys who I knew back in the day.

“We all thought it was very ironic that I was playing a copper as well.”

“I ended up getting the role and I think that was very, very lucky. If it wasn’t for that show I could

have been in another industry; it would have been very different.” RODGER CORSER ON HIS EARLY CAREER thought a career behind the camera was where he would end up.

Then while working at the casino, he attended an open casting call for the musical Rent, at the insistence of one of his colleagues, which was being held at the Prince of Wales in St Kilda.

“They didn’t want the usual suspects,” Corser says.

“I definitely wasn’t perfect, I think that they auditioned me about eight times to make sure I was right.

“I ended up getting the role and I think that was very, very lucky. If it wasn’t for that show I could have been in another industry; it would have been very different. It was a real sliding-doors moment.”

The American producers saw something special in Corser that day, and he has never looked back.

Rent was more than just a musical for Corser. He formed a relationship with singer Christine Anu, who was also starring in the show; they have a daughter, Zipporah, 15.

He is now married to Renae Berry and living in Sydney; they have three children – Budd, 8, Cilla, 6, and Dustin, three.

families for 10 days, so we are in the pub every night having dinner,” he says.

“Everyone talks work, debriefs, has a few wines and then we get to know about everyone’s lives and families. It’s a really warm set, it’s a bit like being on school camp for the cast. We get really close, really quickly.”

We are catching up for this interview over a coffee in Melbourne; three days earlier, the 2018 Gold Logie nominee played in his first Australian Rules grand final, winning the flag with Sydney’s St George in the masters competition.

Afterwards, he sat on the hill with his family and teammates and had some beers; a great moment, Corser recalls. “It was awesome, and I kicked a couple of goals.”

Growing up in Melbourne, Corser went to East Doncaster High and played cricket at a high level until he was 25. He has a strong connection to the East Doncaster area; it was only last year that his family home was sold.

He played his first gig in a band in a Melbourne pub when he was underage.

The US may beckon for the Corser family; he once had a holding deal with the powerful American television network, ABC. They literally paid him to do nothing, while they searched for the perfect role. He nearly took part in an American pilot version of Offspring Offspring, but the timing wasn’t right.

Now his kids are a bit older, he is open to going to the US pilot season in February next year with his family, and seeing what happens. In the meantime, his next local role is in the ABC series Glitch, for which he has to lose up to eight kilos.

And now that the third series of Doctor Doctor has been filmed, Corser will return for a while to being a family man, which he loves.

“It’s definitely my turn. My wife is studying kinesiology and some other therapies, and she has been juggling the kids and that while I’ve been away.

“I’ll get back into the trenches so to speak and start making the school lunches and taking them to swimming, so Renae can do her studies.

“I’ve got to catch up on some of the school dropoff and pick-ups.” ●

T

here’s always a degree of scepticism when picking up the memoirs of somebody who has barely turned 30, but Rick Morton’s life has been anything but ordinary. One Hundred Years of Dirt tells the sad and often brutal story of Morton’s upbringing in the Queensland outback, followed by years in abject urban poverty.

Morton’s grandfather, George Morton, owned a cattle station the size of Belgium and was a “total bastard” of a man. He abused his seven kids, particularly Morton’s father Rodney, who, in turn, inflicted tremendous pain on his family. “Ours is a trauma passed on from one generation to another,” laments Morton as he chronicles in appalling detail the breakdown of his parents’ marriage; a horrific accident that nearly killed his brother Toby, who later became a drug addict; and his grim teenage

years in a housing commission property with his long-suffering but loving mum, Deb. Morton opens up about his own drug abuse and the mental health problems that triggered suicide attempts. He writes movingly about the stress of coming out as gay and his fear of family rejection.

Morton, a journalist with The Australian, buttresses his story with studies into the effect of poverty on the brain, and how low-income families are more prone to dysfunction and violence. He rails against

TRAVEL \ CAGLIARI Cagliari is the Mediterranean distilled – a castle, a coastline and a lifestyle more blissful than buzzing.

While the rich and fabulous seem to have latterly colonised the Costa Smeralda up north, here in the southern capital the locals will routinely tell you they live in paradise. It’s hard to argue.

The Cagliari summer is hot. So if you’re visiting anytime between June and September you’re going to have to hit the beaches. What a chore.

The Poetto, a luminous 7km stretch of sand, transforms at night into party central with bars, dance clubs and restaurants. Or, head to old town Castello, and meander through its narrow streets in the cool of the evening. Up here you get the best view of the city and you won’t find a better spot for aperitivo hour. ●

While it’s a no-brainer for the Sardinian tourist office to spruik its beautiful beaches, the interior of the island – with its jaw-dropping array of ruins, ancient and, perhaps more intriguingly, contemporary – is a neglected part of this place.

The hundreds of abandoned mines and villages are breathtaking. Taking a fortnight to wind your way around the sheer granite hills to investigate places such as Ingurtosu and Montevecchio on the west coast, as well Nebida and Masua further along the stunning Costa Verde, is the perfect way to dig into the life and history of the island.

If 20th-century abandoned buildings are too modern for you, head to Barumini, about 90 minutes’ drive from Cagliari, and immerse yourself in the ruins of the Nuraghic people. Their monolithic Nuraghes – stone fortresses and villages – of which there are some 7000 on the island, date from the 12th century BC. Amazing. ●

t is a fact that our metabolism slows as we get older and particularly as we pass the 30 mark.

Though this might seem scary or like we’re racing against the clock, weight gain during this period of our lives is due far more to lifestyle factors than metabolic factors. All too often, I see people using their metabolism as an excuse.

Let’s get real. Let’s focus on the things we do have control over rather than complaining about the things we don’t.

Take a look at the four things you can do to stay in top health as you age and to keep your metabolism working in your favour.

when we weekend warriors retire from sport at the peak of our working lives – where we are working longer hours and moving less – that we can start to realise it has all snuck up on us.

We blink and suddenly three years have passed and we’re still eating the same way we used to and there are kilos around our hips and tummy that have never been there before. We need to fight back. It is a simple equation of remembering what goes in must be burnt off.

Whether it’s walking, running, cycling or taking up a new sport like golf or tennis, it really doesn’t matter, just move your body more.

MOVE MORE \ In our teens and 20s, so much of the

movement that we do is taken for granted. It is only

DOM A IN REV IEW

slowing metabolism is also due to a loss in muscle.

We often overlook the fact that the amount of muscle we have is directly related to how efficient our metabolism works.

This doesn’t mean trying to get huge bulky muscles by lifting heavy weights but we should all aim to get two or three resistance workouts done a week. Yoga, Pilates or body weight training are types of resistance training I always recommend.

The benefits are improved posture, and increased strength and lean muscle-mass, all resulting in faster burning of fat and lower risk of injury.

SEAN MCDONALD PHOTOGRAPHY

PRACTISE PORTION CONTROL \ It is inevitable

that in your more active years you will have conditioned your body to think it needs a certain amount of food. The reality is, when we take a good look at our portion sizes most of us simply eat too much. This is why I recommend following the 20:20 rule. This means reducing your portion sizes by 20 per cent and focusing on eating slowly.

When you are finished your meal, try to wait 20 minutes before you go back for seconds. I promise

you that nine times out of 10, when the 20 minutes are up you won’t need another helping.

Focusing on quality food is important, so ensure you stay away from anything processed.

SLOW DOWN TO SPEED UP \ It sounds odd, but I

always tell people who are looking to speed up their metabolism that they need to slow down. What I mean is this – you must prioritise sleep, reduce the stress in your life and focus on your clarity of mind in order to get your metabolic engine revving.

Slowing down and focusing on number one is an essential contributing factor when it comes to enhancing your metabolism and burning fat.

As much as we need to acknowledge that our metabolism slows down as we age, most of us don’t get anywhere near realising our metabolic potential.

With that in mind, I want you to identify from the these points your biggest areas of weakness.

Pinpoint and focus on them and, I assure you, you’ll soon feel like you are winding back the clock. ● ● 28bysamwood.com

ONE WELLINGTON \ PERSONALISED ST KILDA LUXURY WITH PROTECTED BAY & CITY VIEWS

A

n innovative approach to an urban renewal project at the junction of five popular innercity precincts gives apartment buyers the opportunity to personalise designer living with protected bay, city or mountain views.

On a highly visible site between St Kilda, St Kilda East, Albert Park, Windsor and Prahran, One Wellington is being developed by the team that recently completed the Fawkner Residences on St Kilda Road, with design by award-winning Melbourne studio KPDO. With towers of 25 and 10 levels rising above a podium that includes communal amenities and retail, One Wellington has a maximum of 200 apartments. A high degree of design flexibility means apartments can be merged to create custom designed spaces for purchasers.

LAS Development Group director Les Smith says One Wellington recognises the way people live is changing. “We have built in flexibility upfront so people can affordably tailor apartments to their lifestyles and tastes.” ● LIZ MCLACHLAN

CAULFIELD NORTH \ 4/59 WANDA ROAD 3

If one had to pinpoint Caulfield’s epicentre of cool, Wanda Road would be a quiet contender. No cafes, but the ’60s architecture is, like, far out! Amid this grooviness, the owner of Number 59 was inspired to transform his red-brick block of flats. These were thought to be the biggest flats in Caulfield, which made them a great base on which to develop four contemporary dwellings.

This is the pick of the pack – a smartly tailored first-floor pad with living and dining opening to terraces north and west. Full-length windows welcome the sun, and there’s a nook off the living room just right for a banana lounge.

The long floor plan flows past three double bedrooms, two fully tiled en suites and a powder room to a retreat. From here, take the lift or the spiral staircase down to the study nook, double garage and landscaped courtyard.

It’s a secure address for people who love Caulfield but who also need to lock up and leave. As spacious as a house and finished in marble, mosaic and stone, it’s bound to attract busy yet elegant professionals.

The apartment has a ground-floor entry via a front garden of succulents and bamboo. Take the oak stairs to the oakfloored living area, which has a north-facing balcony and a view through the treetops. The dining area adjoins, and opens to its own frosted-glass balcony (with cat flap).

The kitchen, in streaky black marble with white satin-finish cabinetry, makes a lustrous backdrop. Twin Ilve ovens are complemented by a 900-millimetre gas cooktop. Three neon pendants illuminate the island. Via a cavity slider is the butler’s pantry cum laundry, which has courtyard access.

FINAL WORD

The main bedroom is super-secluded thanks to its entry via the dressing room. A mirror wall adds to the dazzle. The

“OUTSTANDING IN ITS DESIGN AND FINISHES, AND WITH TWO LIVING

black-and-white en suite has a walk-in shower.

AREAS, THIS PROPERTY WILL APPEAL TO BUYERS WHO WANT

a large en suite with a free-standing tub, glass shower and twin basins. The retreat is sunny and bright below a skillion ceiling, and has an entertainment unit. The property has ducted heating and cooling, double glazing, intercom security and laneway access to the double garage. ● ALISON BARCLAY property@domainreview.com.au Agent: Gary Peer, Sally Zelman 0412 294 488 Price: $2.2 million-$2.42 million Expressions of interest: Close 5pm, September 13

Water gum joinery, Corian bathroom cabinets and black Astra Walker tapware add discreet notes of luxury.

r ne t! o i ns un Pe isco D At its ONLY Melbourne venue: Old Treasury Building | 28 August 2018 - 15 October 2018 Roll up, roll up to Behind the Lines 2017 and marvel at the political cartooning spectacle that is The Three-Ring Circus.

Showcasing the year’s best political cartoons, The Three-Ring Circus captures a world where fact and fiction collide and ringmasters, jugglers and acrobats have all stepped into the political Big Top. With its many tumultuous events, 2017 was another rich year for our nation’s political cartoonists who continue look behind the lines of the daily political sideshows to capture the spirit of our democracy in all its passion, scepticism and humour. ‘Behind the Lines’ is a travelling exhibition developed by Museum of Australian Democracy at Old Parliament House, proudly supported by the National Collection Institutions Touring and Outreach program, an Australian Government program aiming to improve access to the national collections for all Australians.
