Our cover this week celebrates aspects of Victorian life that connect us across the generations. A shared love of AFL binds Sarah Jones and her grandfather Jack Jones, one of the most beloved former players at the Essendon Football Club. Sarah, a football journalist, and her Pop, also a veteran of World War II, will be at the Anzac Day match between the Bombers and Collingwood at the MCG; it’s an occasion that for them carries a gravity as big as a grand final, as it does for many Victorian families. ●

FIRST PERSON

““I am JJames Ketika” … and I’m a ‘garbo’ I saw this job advertised and I just wanted to get fit again, so I took it. The ad was for a bin runner, so I was the guy running behind the truck emptying the bins. I used to box when I was younger, and I missed being athletic.

If you’re doing wheelie bins in the city, you’ve got to be quick because you hold up the traffic, so you just sprint from one bin to another. When you do that all day, you get fit pretty quickly.

I lost about 10 kilograms when I started. Not everyone has to run; I just wanted to put in extra.

What does it take to be a good garbo? It’s your work ethic. It’s easy to die off during the day, but I never complained.

There’s not too many really bad smells – just at the tip, and food that’s not in a bag. But you just cop that, and it’s all right. It’s part of the job; you can’t work as a garbo and complain about the smells.

I like hard, physical work. Before this I was a grave digger, and before that I was concreting.

My parents were hard workers; my dad came here from Tonga, and he worked hard so I could have a relatively good life.

For the past two months I’ve been driving the truck, and doing the bigger runs for all the apartment buildings. You have to have a good sense of humour to be a driver; it’s a long day. The other guys are funny – they’re all amateur comedians.

I never thought in a million years I’d be driving a truck in the city, but I’ve adapted. There’s cars on both sides, going down laneways, going in and out, pedestrians and people on scooters.

I start at five o’clock and I finish at three, so it’s a 10-hour shift. I love it because it’s still dark, so you still get a while before the traffic builds up. At 7am to 7.30am, that’s when it gets a bit difficult to manoeuvre, but at five in the morning it’s perfect.

I like smashing it out early and enjoying the rest of the day when I get home with my two kids.

I’ve got a boy who’s four and a daughter who’s two.

I feel like I’ve accomplished something and contributed to society by doing this job. I had the same kind of feeling when I was grave digging, especially when the families would thank me.

My son wants to be a garbo now. Whatever job I’m doing at the moment he likes. Now he’s asking to come on the job with me. ●

COVER STORY

Anzac Day footy unites veteran Jack Jones and his granddaughter Sarah.

FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME

J

ack Jones, 94, played in seven grand finals for his beloved Essendon Football Club, while granddaughter Sarah Jones, 36, is one of the faces of Fox Footy’s AFL coverage.

They share a special bond and love of the Bombers and family, highlighted on Anzac Day. As a teenager, Jack served his country in New Guinea and Bougainville as part of the 24th Infantry Battalion during World War II. It’s a Jones family tradition to walk in the march before heading into the MCG for the traditional Essendon and Collingwood match.

This year, Jack will be watching from the stands while Sarah will be at ground level hosting Fox’s broadcast.

“Last year, we had 35 of the family there for the march, and all had a great time together,” Jack says.

“It’s a sad day when it comes around because we lost 91 in our battalion and 197 wounded. I was one of the lucky ones, with a lot of my mates, and those poor buggers never had the chance to have a family, get married or even see their parents again.

“Our battalion was mainly made up of 19-yearolds – I’d never seen a gun, hand grenade or machine gun in those days. It was hard to take in for a while, but I got through it, thank God, and now I’ve got a lovely family, Sarah and all the grandkids and great-grandkids.

“But when the bugler blows the Last Post, that’s when I feel it more than anything.”

For Sarah, Anzac Day is about reflection and gratitude.

“It’s a really special day for our whole family, and because of Pop, we see an example of someone who went to war, fought for his country and was really lucky to come back. None of us would be here if he didn’t return.

“There’s gratitude that he was one of the lucky ones and a real sense of pride in what he did because for us. It’s just a world away, what those teenagers did – it’s hard to wrap your head around

just how horrendous it would’ve been. Pop did that as a young man then came home and led a really rich life back in Australia.

“Anzac Day is a really special day to celebrate Pop and all the Anzacs. Having a connection with Essendon and the Anzac Day match has really amplified that.”

The Joneses were born Bombers. Jack began following Essendon in 1933 and saw Dick Reynolds play his first league game. Thirteen years later he’d play alongside his hero.

“I have red in one eye and black in the other,” Jack laughs.

“When I came home (from the war), I played in three premierships and seven grand finals with my idol Dick Reynolds.

“It was wonderful. I was successful only because I played in a great side. You’ve got to be there at the right time with all the good players.”

Sarah loves that her AFL club was chosen for her.

“It was in my blood and DNA that I’d barrack for the Bombers. There was no choice – I was always going to be a Bomber. When we were kids, Pop

would take us down to the rooms to meet the players, and that was really cool, and when he worked in the club’s Hall of Fame we’d go along and watch his tours,” she recalls.

“Having the footy connection is great because Pop loves footy, I love footy, and a lot of that comes from him. Essendon’s a big interest for him and part of his life that keeps him going strong at 94.”

Sarah was eight when her mum died in an accident, but despite living in Echuca, her Melbourne-based Nan and Pop played a very active role in her childhood, never missing a netball final or ballet concert.

T

oday, Jack is Fox Footy’s No.1 viewer, having watched Sarah enter journalism competitions as a child, later do work experience at the Herald Sun and then land her first job in television.

“Sarah is very special. The grandkids are equal, and I love them all but Sarah is on television, and no matter what day she is on TV I find her and barrack for her all the time.”

Now, Sarah’s heart fills with joy watching her Pop with her daughters Mila, 4, and Halle, 2.

“We have a lot of shared interests and spending time with Pop is so much fun and now seeing my daughters get to have a really great relationship with their great-grandfather is something so special,” she says.

“They call him ‘Old Poppy’. We visit, and Nan makes pancakes for the girls and Pop tries to steal them, and that’s an ongoing game.”

Sarah says anchoring Fox’s Anzac Day football coverage is a career highlight.

“Especially as a Bomber fan and someone who really loves the occasion of Anzac Day, it’s only behind finals and the grand finals as the biggest occasion in football.

“You get the chill down your spine when they do the ceremony, and it’s even more special because of my connection to Pop.” ●

Kennedy Cup over the next three years. This new business and economic endeavour wraps up a challenging period for Kennedy, who is looking to the future and he says he will only learn from the past.

“That’s life, that’s business more than anything else,” Kennedy, 40, says. “But again, it’s just another experience. It’s just another event

that happens in your life that makes you think about what your next move is going to be, or how you function.

itting in his Melbourne office, James Kennedy, the executive chairman of the Kennedy Luxury Group, is ready to put an up-and-down year behind him.

His high-end goods business – he is the young Australian who shook up the otherwise traditional prestige retail scene in his 30s – came under serious pressure last year. One of the Kennedy business subsidiaries, EGI Audio Visual, which distributed Danish audio visual brand Bang & Olufsen in Australia, went into voluntary administration.

Legal action ensued. Bang & Olufsen served a demand claiming the Kennedy subsidiary owed $6 million and Kennedy countersued. The matter was recently dismissed by the Victorian Supreme Court, but Kennedy has initiated legal proceedings in Denmark, seeking compensation for breach of contract.

In a recent letter to his staff, Kennedy said EGI has entered an arrangement with its creditors and is embarking on an “orderly windingup and reregistration”, likely to be concluded by June 30.

Kennedy’s group is also off-loading its fashion interests, parting ways with established designer brands Loewe, Kenzo and Giuseppe Zanotti.

The Kennedy company is known more broadly in Melbourne for its partnership with the Victoria Racing Club (now in the middle of a fiveyear deal) and this month became a newly-minted sponsor of the AFL. As the league pushes ahead with plans to raise the game’s profile in China, Kennedy has inked a deal as an official match-day partner in China, with teams contesting the

your failures.” Kennedy Luxury Group will now focus on its watch and jewellery business, with 10 stores around Australia to soon become 12.

In the first half of this financial year the company made $52.5 million in sales, according to Kennedy – an increase of 19.5 per cent on the same time last year.

The Kennedy jewellery business is a modern Australian retail success; it began in Sydney in 1976 when his parents opened their first store.

Kennedy had a career in finance before returning to the family business and expanding it – rapidly.

“I grew up in the business,” Kennedy says. “I was always overhearing the conversations my parents were having. I always thought it was where I’d end up.

“The path and timing that I took to get in to the business was probably not what you’d predict, but I don’t think you can predict that part of it.

“My dad passed away, not unexpectedly, when I had my own job and my own career. When he passed away, my mum had to deal with the loss as well as trying to run the business, so it was time for me to step into the business.”

Kennedy moved to Melbourne a few years ago, when he met his now-wife Jaimee Belle Kennedy.

Their wedding last year in Florence was featured in Vogue.

“I wouldn’t be standing here today if not for her,” Kennedy says.

For the past two years, the couple have been side by side in the Birdcage at Flemington, with the Kennedy company lending its name to Oaks Day. “I’ve always been resilient and I’ll continue to be resilient,” he says. ●

air in your food used to be a bad thing, but Hibiki’s daikon and carrot ’fro, a crunchy mop garnishing its sushi bowl, adds some funk to your brunch, as does the Japanese disco playlist.

It’s all part of 26-year-old owner Reiji Honour’s masterplan to create a musically driven cafe with curated tunes.

“I spend hours making playlists,” he says, which you can access via Spotify for some old-school grooves. “Music has an amazing effect on mood and the space. I wanted people to feel the energy when they sat down.”

It explains Hibiki’s clubby vibe. It’s loud, properly

loud (Honour is installing sound baffles to dial it down a notch), which creates an unmistakable energy, balanced by the white minimalism, warm woods and devil’s ivy snaking along the ceiling.

The menu is full of life, too, with unexpected flavour combos based on trad Japanese techniques with a mod, “putaneggonit” cafe spin.

Mushrooms on toast appears as garlicky shiitake and shimenji fried in soy butter on soft, spongy triangles of milk toast with a poached egg. But wait, there’s more.

Also on the (Robert Gordon) plate is a tempura enoki fan, crisp fried kale, saltbush leaves, dried cranberries, and a pate-like umami bomb of

fermented mushroom mousse. Sounds wacky, yeah?

But it works.

Black rice bircher is vegan, soaked in coconut and genmaicha (brown rice green tea), with granola, crushed pistachios and a mango-yuzu coulis.

Or try Hibiki’s okonomiyaki, a cabbage and spring onion pancake. Honour’s mum is Japanese, and he’s based the recipe on her version.

“My mum used to cook traditional foods at home and I’d stand by and watch,” he says. “It’s funny how taste and memories can last for ages.”

If brunching from 11.30am onwards, try a bestseller box of lotus root chips amped with Sriracha, Kewpie mayo, and a dusting of dried

seaweed. Of equal flair is the drinks list filled with fresh, zingy juices, matcha-powered smoothies, and house spritzes, such as cold-drip tonic and blood orange.

Tea is from Sassafras, and coffee features local hero Industry Beans, along with roasters gaining momentum in Japan.

“My brother lives in Japan and he’s helping me source some rockstar roasters from there,” Honour says. “They have a different technique to Australia.

It’s a much lighter roast.”

Hibiki is Japanese for “to echo” and Honour’s first solo foray into the brunch world seems set to reverberate in Melbourne’s cafe scene. ●

EDUCATION & INNOVATION

Me & My Mentor

MIA WATKINS & MEL ANIE L ANE

M

elanie Lane became a science teacher at Mentone Grammar School at the start of 2018. She is passionate about encouraging her female students to discover science and to consider a scientific career beyond the classroom.

One of her students is 17-year-old Mia Watkins, who is currently studying year 12 physics.

I’ve been interested in science since primary school.

I remember taking part in a solar boat challenge where we had to build a boat with solar panels and race it across a lake. I enjoy the hands-on, practical element of science. You see how things work and I learn better that way.

I’ve enjoyed science all the way through my time at Mentone Grammar and this year, as well as studying physics, I’m also doing specialist maths, chemistry, English language and PE. Physics is a favourite subject because Miss Lane makes it interesting – even the more boring parts!

In March we took part in a Victorian Institute of Physics program at Luna Park for VCE physics students from different schools. We downloaded an app on our phone and could then go on the various rides and the app measured things like force, acceleration and maximum speeds. Miss Lane came on the rides with us, of course!

Miss Lane also took me and three other students to a VCE Girls in Physics breakfast at Monash University. Afterwards we toured the Synchrotron which was fascinating. Experiences like that make it even clearer to me that I want a career in science – probably in engineering or biomedical sciences.

Miss Lane motivates me to learn because she believes in her students. After school and during lunchtime she is often in the lab and is always willing to help. She makes even the quietest students in her class feel more confident. She reminds me that I can try anything.

MEL ANIE SAYS ...

I went to a girls’ school and was always interested in science and maths. I had an inquiring mind and my father was a physics and maths teacher. Mum did a science degree at the University of Melbourne in the 1960s and became a chemistry and biology teacher.

NORM ORLOFF

MIA SAYS ...

M E L A N I E L A N E & M IA WAT KI N S

It wasn’t until I got to university that I realised it was unusual to be a female studying maths and science.

I’ve always felt a strong commitment to encourage more girls to study science and maths. Mia is studying similar subjects to me when I was at high school. While she is one of three girls doing year 12 physics this year, we have more girls doing physics in year 11.

I’m also teaching general science to grade fives and if you ask those little ones, they will already tell you they are going to do VCE physics!

This school is very much about encouraging girls to do science and I hope to help raise the profile of

senior science with more girls. I want girls like Mia to break down the barriers because physics is still seen as a boy’s subject although girls have great success in VCE physics.

Mia is very bright and passionate and she who holds her own in the classroom. She has a real rapport with her classmates and is always at the centre of any practical work. She reminds me a lot of myself at her age and she has the same passion for science.

I hope that I inspire her to see that girls can do anything. Through physics, we are in touch with each other most days and I think we are going to have a fantastic year together. ● SARAH MARINOS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH

Brighton East is fast becoming a showcase of the latest architecture. With families clamouring for a spot close to schools and parks, the demand is for sunny and spacious.

This new, six-star-rated house near Brighton Golf Course will entice the little hands that love to run their fingers over clean lines and put sticky pawprints over full-length windows with gorgeous garden views.

Most importantly, it has three large living areas, one of which opens to a covered terrace above the pool. Stand at the back of the leafy garden and the view is satisfyingly symmetrical – sparkling water, lawn and the wide expanse of house framed by trees.

Just completed, the two-storey house has up to six bedrooms, including a ground-floor suite and a study that could quickly adapt to hosting guests.

To the right of the central hall is a double bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe and en suite. There’s a study (or bedroom) and a carpeted living room that would suit a home cinema.

Oak makes for a sturdy, good-looking floor in the open plan, where kitchen, dining and family areas blend into an expansive room for good times. The family zone has a fireplace. The kitchen, laid out across three rooms for ease of catering (and hiding all the dirty dishes), has multifunction ovens, Liebherr integrated fridge and freezer and a stone island. The butler’s pantry leads to a store room.

In the garden, a stainless steel barbecue kitchen makes a leisurely prelude to the pool and its wet-edge seating. The balmy north-east aspect promises year-round radiance.
