We are so happy to be back in your hands, after a publishing break during the pandemic. This edition features a few of our favourite Melbourne faces, with stunning properties to peruse in this latewinter market (it’s open for business).

Hawthorn great and Brownlow medallist Shane Crawford is a natural in front of the camera, but it’s surprising to learn just how precisely he applied himself to his TV apprenticeship. Crawford’s “next great act”, as journalist Peter Hanlon discovers, builds on an education that started as a schoolboy watching Ray Martin on The Midday Show. ●

elbourne is renowned for its jam-packed festival calendar, particularly in August when both the Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF) and Melbourne Writers Festival (MWF) are under way. Both festivals will again kick off this week but for the first time are entirely online.

When the call was made in April to cancel the physical MIFF event, it wasn’t merely a precaution, but a necessity. “MIFF is part of an ecosystem. Films flow from points of premiere all around the world and various distributive models,” Al Cossar, MIFF artistic director, says.

The idea of an online festival was floated early, but the organisers were only interested if the quality could be maintained. Cossar says it wasn’t as simple as uploading the originally planned content online – they needed to re-engineer the festival.

“We know the value and the meaning of the festival to our audiences, and we wanted to do something that was hopefully true to their expectations of the program, but also was true of our programming personality ongoing,” Cossar says.

Organisers also needed to overcome the logistics of showing content online – a key concern for the film industry that is particularly

The show must go on sensitive to this model of distribution. Fortunately, one of the world leaders in online video streaming, the New Zealand company Shift72, agreed to work with MIFF to produce the event.

Titled 68½, the online 2020 MIFF program of 113 films includes 12 world premieres, 82 Australian premieres and 44 shorts. More than 56 countries are represented, and at least one woman director is attached to 49 per cent of the selected films.

Highlights include the opening film First Cow, directed by Kelly Reichardt, who Cossar describes as “one of the most fascinating filmmakers working today”.

Cossar says there are benefits to the online format, such as the introduction of long-form series not conducive to a typical cinema setting.

Among them is City So Real – a four-part chronicle of Chicago’s 2019 mayoral elections, revealing a city divided on social-justice issues.

There’s also the 14-hour Women Make Film series, which covers the vast, brilliant yet often neglected realm of female-directed cinema.

MWF, or MWF Digital as it’s known this year, has made major changes in order to migrate online.

Audiences this year can expect the same diversity of event formats, but across a more focused program

“We wanted to do something that was hopefully true to their expectations of the program.”

around the theme of “attention”.

MWF Digital associate director Gene Smith says: “You will be able to read new commissioned works online from authors including Helen Garner, join a bookclub with Kate Grenville, listen to podcasts, watch interviews with literary greats, or join a workshop.”

Most MWF Digital events will have a “pay what you can model”, enabling as many people as possible to participate. “We don’t want money to be a barrier to access. That’s a core part of the festival philosophy, and a quarter of the MWF program is free every year,” Smith says.

During this time of uncertainty and turmoil, festivals such as MWF and MIFF that actively engage in global issues feel more pertinent than ever. The online events offer a valuable place for Melburnians to engage with their wider community, without sacrificing the safety of being in their own homes.

Says Smith: “My hope is that MWF Digital at the very least offers a wonderful distraction – a moment in time to celebrate the books and ideas that hold our attention and make us think differently about the world and our place in it.”

Most MIFF 68½ films will be accessible from August 7 to 23, with some films available at allocated times only. Tickets are available, subject to virtual capacity limits.

MWF Digital is on August 7 to 16. ● ● mwf.com.au

COVER STORY

E

ven during his earliest stints in front of a television camera, before he’d called time on his stellar AFL career, Shane Crawford had an eye for the next act.

At Channel Nine’s old studios, in Richmond’s Bendigo Street, he’d sit in on the filming of Sale Of The Century and The Price Is Right to see how they came to life. In the corridors he’d connect with people from the production crew and the props department, anyone whose working world was “this place where magic was made”. When he wasn’t among The Footy Show’s panellists, he’d slip into the control truck and watch the levers of live TV being pulled.

The student becomes the master

Influenced by Graham Kennedy and Ray Martin, the charismatic Shane Crawford was destined for the screen.

His fascination wasn’t new, only the unprecedented access and the insights. Growing up in the southern NSW town of Finley, he had loved “the realness” of Graham Kennedy and Bert Newton, and how subtle shifts in pace made their comedy rise like dough in a tin. If he wasn’t at school, he’d camp in front of The Midday Show and study how Ray Martin went about his craft.

“When I started doing The Footy Show, years later, there were five or six cameras pointing at you from everywhere,” he recalls. “I said to Nine, ‘You’ve given me this opportunity, and I’m trying to be myself and have fun. But do you think someone can tell me what to do?’”

They sent him to Sydney to spend a day with an Australian television guru Peter Faiman, a producer of shows that were fronted by Kennedy, Newton, Don Lane and Paul Hogan, and who directed the latter in Crocodile Dundee. Crawford remembers the experience as formative and utterly special.

As they watched old tapes, he peppered Faiman with questions. “Why do they do this?” “Why are they filming this way and not that way?” He draws regularly on the advice he received that day.

“A couple of key things,” notes Crawford. “He said, ‘Just always be who you are, be yourself. The audience connects with you because you’re real, and if you’re not they won’t.’ And he said, ‘Let things breathe.’ That’s why Kennedy and Newton and Hogan were so good. They let things breathe, allowed time for the audience to think and react.

“The best thing [Faiman] said: ‘There’s no rules.

You do what works for you, go for it.’ I reckon I learnt more in one day than I would have in 20 years.”

D

oing “what works for you” has only enhanced Crawford’s love of television, and given him a CV that includes 12 years on Postcards, several kids’ shows and a star turn on Australia’s first Celebrity Apprentice. By running from Adelaide to Melbourne and cycling the Nullarbor to Perth, he’s raised millions for breast cancer research, all the while living the advice his mother gave her children: just get out there and have a go.

“I enjoy the process … the creative side,” he says of television. “The art of trying to connect with the audience, the chemistry you have with the people you’re doing the show with.”

Fun lies at the heart of it, which makes his latest

venture – combining hosting and sideline commentary duties on the fourth season of Australian Ninja Warrior – kid-in-a-candy-shop stuff for a 45-year-old whose true calling could be playing Peter Pan. Crawford was already a big Ninja Warrior fan, watching from the couch with sons Charlie, Ben, Jack and Harry, raucous times that must leave their mum, Olivia, in no doubt that she’s outnumbered and that resistance would be futile. After a brief fillin stint on the show for Rebecca Maddern, he jumped at the chance for a deeper dive when the pandemic forced another ex-sportsman, former England cricketer Andrew “Freddie” Flintoff’, to fly home to Manchester to be with his family.

Immediately, Crawford’s thoughts turned to childhood Sunday nights watching the homespun 1980s hit It’s A Knockout. He likened entering the Ninja Warrior studio at Melbourne Showgrounds to walking through the gates of Dreamworld.

of life – have staggered him. “They’re incredible, some of the girls especially. I came away gobsmacked by what these athletes can do.”

He was told “not to muck around on the course”, but confesses he couldn’t resist having a crack at the Warped Wall, a steeply curving ramp that rises into a vertical wall that competitors must scale. (“It took a few attempts, but I finally got there – I’m pretty determined.”) He wishes he could have taken his boys along to filming, but reckons they’d then have insisted on a course at home in the back yard, “and I’m not very good at building things”.

Soon after Alastair Clarkson arrived at Hawthorn, a few seasons before Crawford finished, the new coach urged him to scale back his media commitments. “But I want to do this when I stop playing football,” Crawford responded. “I want to make shows, to be creative.” He convinced Clarkson the TV apprenticeship was his version of going to university.

“I never set out to be looking back from my rocking chair saying, ‘I hold the world record for the most pairs of underpants worn at one time’.”

“My eyes lit up the first time I saw the course,” he says. “It was just, ‘Wow!’ It must be so intimidating for people who’ve travelled from all over the country, who’ve been practising on hay bales and their own home-built apparatus, then they see this thing that’s lit up. It’s gigantic; it must blow their mind.”

Shooting long into the night with no live audience, he found himself drawn to the ninjas as if they were teammates. “I felt like I was a friend – I was pretty much the only one on site talking to them. I felt like a coach, I felt like a supporter. The ninjas would get up to the starting blocks and they had no one, no crowd. They had me, doing a piece to camera and saying, ‘You can do this’.”

Tweaks to the season-four landscape – including a “state of origin” contest, and bonuses offered to the winner of a nightly “Power Tower” face-off between the two fastest ninjas – spiced up a frenetic format.

Crawford spent 16 years and 305 games on an elite athlete’s treadmill, and retired a Brownlow medallist, premiership player and Hawthorn great.

He has lived sporting professionalism from the inside, yet the strength, agility, flexibility and balance of the ninjas – ordinary folk from all walks

It’s clearly working for him, as versatility – and living Faiman’s advice to be himself – are underpinning a career that has outlasted The Footy Show and continues to build. He’s humbled to be part of a world that fascinated him for so long, not least when he recalls meeting Nicole Kidman and Molly Meldrum as a boy.

A handful of madcap Guinness World Records – including one for having 153 Golden Orb spiders crawl over his near-naked body – attest to Crawford’s “have-a-go” mantra. All part of the show, but not how he wants to be remembered.

“I never set out to be looking back from my rocking chair saying, ‘I hold the world record for the most pairs of underpants worn at one time’.

“What’s important is just being happy. I think that’s the key for everyone these days – just to get yourself in a happy place where you can put a smile on your face and, hopefully, put a smile on someone else’s face too.” ● AUSTRALIAN NINJA WARRIOR \ Sunday at 7pm and Monday and Tuesday at 7.30pm on Nine and 9Now.

hen Mitch Catlin’s marketing and media consultancy work dried up overnight on Black Friday, March 13, he could have sat in front of Netflix feeling sorry for himself.

Instead, the former TV journalist turned to Instagram to keep busy, launching a page to promote Australian businesses.

By the end of week one he had 7000 followers of Buy Aussie Now. “Initially, I did not contact brands, I just asked people to support the small businesses that I knew would be doing it tough,” he says.

The idea, prompted by his 80-year-old mother saying, “people will buy Australian”, struck such a chord that within a fortnight Catlin – a media and marketing whiz who has steered Swisse and Myer – could not cope with demand from businesses wanting promotion on the Instagram account.

“People were crying out for help,” he says. “I realised there was something there. This is an opportunity to make a difference to Australian

Aussie Now, a marketplace for home-grown products such as NED Whisky, right.

retail.” When Catlin discussed the idea with his mate Chris White, now Buy Aussie Now chief executive, they realised there was no one-stop shop for Australian brands. Now, he and White have parlayed that social media account into what’s billed as Australia’s first marketplace for goods made here by locally owned businesses, launching next month.

Within 24 hours of approaching investors, Catlin had raised about $500,000 in start-up funds.

“People were crying out for help. This is an opportunity to make a difference to Australian retail.”

By the end of July about 3500 Australian businesses had signed up to buyaussienow.com.au Those joining must be 100 per cent Australianowned, with all profits staying in Australia.

Manufacturing and production must occur here, but some ingredients can be imported. They range from household names such as Endota Spa, Ugg and smoothie-makers Emma & Tom’s, to boutique jam and chocolate companies.

Listing is free. Businesses upload product details and orders go to them. They pay a transaction fee only after a sale; Indigenous businesses and not-forprofits pay nothing.

Fifteen thousand shoppers have registered with the site.

Wade Porter is chief executive of Made by Cow, which produces cold-pressed milk approved by food authorities as safe to drink without heatpasteurising, so it retains its nutrients.

Launched in 2015, it plans to expand into flavoured milk, cheese, ice-cream and butter.

MITCH CATLIN

It’s transitioning into a mass, premium brand but it’s a tough economic climate, so Buy Aussie Now will help with brand awareness, Porter says.

Catlin’s survey found “some brands were desperate for people to know that they were Australian – for example Endota Spa”. Also, they wanted to align themselves with other Aussie brands – an enthusiasm local buyers share, according to Adam Karafili, executive chairman of NED Whisky.

His company, with Australia’s largest distillery at Campbellfield, produces whisky and RTDs, has vodka in the works and plans for tequila.

When the pandemic hit, it pivoted to make hand sanitiser, giving large quantities to GPs and the Brotherhood of Saint Laurence. Karafili says buyers would rather pay for a local brand than an import.

“To have a marketplace that can help feature Australian-made goods, there will be massive support out there for what Mitch is doing.” ● ● buyaussienow.com.au goes live September 24.

hen Katrina Brennan became the 11th principal of Shelford Girls’ Grammar in January, she swiftly had to call on her extensive teaching, communication and management skills to navigate the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Brennan barely had time to settle into her new role before she was faced with working out how to keep her tight-knit school community on track and engaged in light of significant changes to how her students would be taught.

“I have a core group of senior executive staff and we worked together in our planning and response.

We met every day,” says Brennan.

“Our focus was on bringing our international students back to Melbourne safely and getting ready to switch to remote learning. Throughout this pandemic we have communicated openly and honestly with students, parents and staff and we’ve listened to feedback as to what support they need.”

To smooth the challenges of remote learning, Shelford has introduced initiatives like “no new content day” so senior school students can step away from classes on iPads and laptops and meet in study groups, follow up with teachers and catch up on homework. Virtual events such as house challenges, cooking competitions, virtual assemblies and a hopscotch challenge on social media have kept students and teachers connected.

Brennan says Shelford’s innate sense of community has helped ease the passage of the school year so far. She says she first experienced that supportive ethos earlier in her teaching career when she was director of middle school at Shelford.

Originally a lawyer, she made the switch to teaching at the age of 30.

“When I was younger, I thought I might be a teacher because I loved school and I had fantastic English and history teachers. But then I became a lawyer instead and although I didn’t hate it, I wasn’t passionate about it. So, after five years of law, I thought it was time to try teaching. I did my first teaching round and never looked back,” she says.

After stints at a large co-ed school in the western suburbs, a Catholic school in the country and then a private girls’ school, two years ago Brennan returned to Shelford as director of staff and now

K AT R I N A B R E N N A N

principal. She’s enthusiastic about the benefits offered by forward-thinking girls’ schools.

“Shelford enables girls to have opportunities and to see strong female role models in our alumni. It’s a nurturing environment where girls achieve their potential,” she says.

She has already increased the school’s focus on science and technology across year levels.

“We want to further improve girls’ access to science, technology and engineering and we are setting up partnerships with universities in those areas.

“We want to think about more innovative ways to deliver our curriculum and to think about technology and the jobs of the future,” she says.

The Year 9 Challenge Program – an activity-based program that includes a city challenge, environment challenge, justice challenge and physical challenge – has also been expanded to include law and citizenship week and enterprise and innovation

week, where students learn about running and financing a business.

Brennan is relishing the opportunity to lead Shelford Girls’ Grammar, despite the inevitable twists and turns of teaching during a pandemic.

“Here I can be a principal and still be very hands on in the school. I still have relationships with the students, the families and staff and I’m involved in the life of the school – I’ve never wanted to be in an office and out of sight,” she says.

Outside of school, Brennan, her husband and their 11-year-old son, Callum, enjoy travelling. She also enjoys reading, cooking and music.

“For me, a good day is a day with plenty of variety,” she says. “It might include talking to students in the yard, seeing some of our teachers engaged with their class, meeting with the executive team or members of the board, and chatting to some parents at the gate – that’s a good day.” ●

If St Kilda has a long-lost twin, it must be Southwold, England. With it golden beach, pier, bathing boxes, cafes and the vibe of an everlasting holiday, the town on the Suffolk coast is a jolly fine namesake for this distinctive property on St Kilda Hill.

Built in 1915 for the Pallet family, Southwold was originally a twinset itself: Two dwellings – one upstairs, one down – made this an early experiment in apartment living. A later owner converted it to a single house.

In 2017-18 the Tempo Group transformed Southwold yet again, and now the place glistens in marble, terrazzo and French oak against exposed brick and a glass staircase.

Kitchen and dining open to a landscaped garden with a barbecue terrace and a heated pool.

The zoned bedrooms include a ground-floor main suite and two further suites upstairs, one with a balcony. Each floor retains its original, fire-warmed living room.

The property is a showpiece enhanced by its elegant address – the “Paris end” of Acland Street, up the hill from Linden Gallery and the Dog’s Bar, around the corner from Theatreworks and skipping distance to the beach.

Southwold has a gated front courtyard with parking, and a secure, enclosed porch.

In the front bay, the ground-floor main bedroom has an open fireplace, a walk-in wardrobe and a terrazzo twin en suite. Across the hall, a powder room and concealed laundry nestle below the stairs.

The central living room (corner fireplace) steps up to the contemporary dining room, which with full-height sliders to

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 deďŹ nitely the best part of my job.â€?

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