Fruits de Mer You could call it a shellfish platter, because that’s what it is. But isn’t the French term – which literally means “fruit of the sea” – so much more fun?

Cafe mogul Julien Moussi has a thing for milk bars.

He’s converted many into open cafes and stores, including Stanley, Vermont General Store and now Willim – his latest venture on a quiet corner in the south-eastern suburb of McKinnon. The design pays subtle homage to milk bar confectionery, with a Twix-inspired fit-out featuring caramelcoloured timber swirled with chocolate brown accents.

Breakfast at the 100-seat venue revolves around topped toasts, including sourdough piled with spiced beetroot relish, fried eggs and Cumberland sausage. For something on the sweeter side, there are sticky-date pancakes that come doused in coffee caramel and finished with mascarpone and ginger crumb.

Come lunchtime, expect dishes like green chilli chicken larb bowls or slow-smoked lamb shoulder with potato rosti and truffled peas. Plus there’s a spacious, dog-friendly courtyard at the back and a takeaway coffee window at the front. — QM

Gohan: Everyday Japanese Cooking

Wurrdha Marra

Hepburn Springs ceramicist Bridget Bodenham fuses (organic) form and function in beautifully tactile wares, from plates and mugs to oil burners and egg cups. Her Petal pedestal bowls are a smart take on the current cake stand trend, hand- and wheel-formed in two parts with a serving bowl on top and a shapely stand below.

Each has its own distinct character, with a mix of scalloped edges, painterly accents and gold trim. Equally great as an everyday fruit bowl or elevated tablescape component. — JW

From Japanese-Australian food writer Emiko Davies comes a cookbook dedicated to the mothers and grandmothers of Japan.

Gohan translates literally as “rice”, but it’s a phrase casually used to refer to a meal or food in general.

Better known for her Italian cooking titles, here Davies explores simple, nourishing comfort food that she’s enjoyed at home with family over the years – complete with charming colour pencil illustrations. As well as rice, the book explores noodle dishes, breakfasts and sweets. — SV

Shaun Edwards Words by Jo Walker The footy player turned fashion-label founder wants to make the NT proud.

House of Darwin founder Shaun Edwards has long been an unofficial ambassador for the Northern Territory. As a kid at boarding school in Melbourne – then playing in the AFL for the GWS Giants and Essendon Bombers, before finishing up at Sydney Swans – he often found himself around people who’d “never really been to Darwin or heard of Darwin”, he says.

“It just really instilled in me an opportunity to help shape the story of Darwin outside the Northern Territory,” Edwards tells Broadsheet.

“I’ve always been really proud to be a custodian of Darwin out and about, living in different places around the world.”

Based in Los Angeles before the pandemic, Edwards moved home during Covid disruptions and launched fashion and lifestyle label House of Darwin in 2020. Icons big and small – from salty plums and rodeos to Cyclone Tracy and Uluru – are spruiked on the brand’s tees, hats and hoodies, as well as home objects like throws and mugs. Plus, profits are invested into social programs in remote Indigenous communities.

“I’m born and raised in Darwin. My mother’s family is Larrakia – traditional owners of the Darwin region – and my dad’s family come from Victoria and Queensland. Sort of third-gener third-generation Territorian on my dad’s side, and then been in Darwin since the beginning of time with mum’s side,” he says.

Edwards knows his home turf well, and he’s got plenty of stories to share. Initial inspiration for House of Darwin imagery came from driv driving his Land Cruiser around remote communities, running football clinics. He’d take photos and videos, and share them with illustrator Luna Tunes, aka Liam Milner – now the brand’s unof unofficial artist-in-residence – who’d work them up into streetwear motifs.

The style is somewhere between 1980s Australiana tourist merch and 1990s surf and skate wear, with typography inspired, at least in part, by old milk-bar signage and a hint of

underground zine. It’s fun and funny, but it also has a bigger symbolic job to do.

“The Northern Territory people are the first people that I have to answer to, so I want them to be proud,” Edwards says. “But then also for people on the east coast, I just want them to be curious – to load up their car and come up on a trip and learn about the Northern Territory because it’s such a vast and beautiful place.”

As a social enterprise, House of Darwin runs its clothing company for profit, then reinvests money into social programs in remote Indigenous communities. Last year saw the launch of Hoop Dreams in the NT, which refur refurbishes basketball courts, covering them with murals in collaboration with local kids.

“The courts are a place for song and dance,” Edwards explains. “It’s where all the health work workers come out and run their clinics, and it’s also where they have the youth school discos … We’ve been refurbishing them with the communities so that they can have something once we leave.”

House of Darwin has also partnered with Aussie skate label Pass Port to build half-pipes in remote communities and teach locals how to skate. On the fashion side of things, Edwards has collaborated with brands like Dickies, Afends and Wah-Wah Australia, and his threads are now available in Universal Store outlets across Australia.

For the next month, they’ll be in Melbourne for a pop-up shop called NT General Store, providing fashion, art, workshops and events alongside fellow Darwin creative venture Laundry Gallery.

“I’m really proud to have House of Darwin be a vehicle for sharing these stories,” Edwards says.

“Whether it be through clothing, photography or the video stuff that we do. Those stories are really unique to Australia. You’ve sort of got to come up to Darwin to see it, to believe it.”

The NT General Store pop-up runs from October 25 to November 23 at 28 Johnston Street, Fitzroy.

HOME OF THE WEEK

Single-level style and space

“This is a stunning example of what can be done with a period home when you have style and passion.

Just move in for a fabulous Christmas and summer.”

Words by Kay Keighery

If you want to be sure whether an owner is genuinely fastidious about their digs, check out the state of their lawn. While it might seem a simple exercise, keeping lawns lush and evenly spread takes some devotion.

A proud lawn-tender, the owner of this abode has not limited his devotion to just the green stuff. Since buying it in 2015, he and his partner have given the elegant Edwardian a new lease of life, a thorough makeover designed to bring out her best and complement it with a timelessly chic attitude.

“The house was run down when we bought it, but we could see potential,” Julian Heinz says. “We thought about going up but decided to stay single-level because we had plenty of space to work with, and that gave us the scope for our high ceilings.”

While the ceilings in the front and original section are high, the ceilings he’s referencing here are those in the extension’s open-plan hub. The ceiling over the living area rides horizontally over floor-to-ceiling glazing and a feature wall, and over the kitchen and dining zone it rakes to an impressive height, capping north-facing, clerestory windows.

First up, you get picket fencing and lawn announcing a delightful, double-fronted weatherboard facade with a boned and rendered gable and fretwork over the verandah.

Enter to a functional floor plan, where four bedrooms and a bathroom branch off the central hall, and the living hub spreads full-width at the rear.

Dreamy in soft grey, the main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe, an en suite and a bay window with a built-in seat.

The bathroom, all clean-lined and contemporary with timber vanity, elliptical bath and walk-in shower, echoes those grey tones.

Welcoming with dark oak floorboards and white walls offset by black window frames, the hub stages the living, dining and kitchen zones with light-blessed finesse, abetted by Bosch appliances, a limestone island bench, a gas fireplace and a dash of joinery.

The feature wall sports a Haymes paint colour by the name of Enigma, in keeping with the vertical cladding out the back. Three exits to the wraparound deck create indooroutdoor interplay. Twixt them, a giant picture window frames verdant vistas.

The deck to the left of the hub is covered for year-round use, aided by a ceiling fan and heater. The deck on the right is openair, so it’s all about sun lounging and stargazing and serves as an effective addendum to the living area. Step down from the deck for more of Heinz’s exemplary lawn, bordered by capital pear trees.

As for location, the owners value the walkeverywhere factor. On weekends, they stroll to Bay Street shops, cinemas, parks and the beach while the car stays in the carport.

PA I N T PAC K PLANE R EPE AT

Words by Gitika Garg · Photos by Jay Ramsay Nick Thomm splits his studio time between Melbourne and LA, creating hypnotic, colour-doused artworks that travel the globe.

The Tiffany & Co-endorsed Australian artist – who also has fans in Nike, Louis Vuitton and pop star Miley Cyrus – would have it no other way.

FEATURE

I

t all started with a high school sports injury. A series of them, actually – one that meant Melbourne-born artist Nick Thomm couldn’t play football again. It was also the moment that made him consider tapping into his creative side.

“I enjoyed occasionally painting or doing graphic design and, like every kid does, I had a clothing brand in high school. But when the injury happened I was like, ‘What am I going to do now?’” Thomm tells Broadsheet.

After a stint as a graphic designer – co-founding creative studio The Drop – Thomm decided to take time away from client work and create as he pleased, sans brief.

“I basically just locked myself in the garage,” he remembers. “I made art there every day for three months and, at the end of it, I decided I’d put on a show. It feels like two years ago, but it’s actually been about 10 and I’ve never looked back.”

Now known for hyper-colourful “spectral paintings” and digital projections – commissioned by the likes of Nike, Adidas and Miley Cyrus (who slid into Thomm’s DMs requesting a mural for her home) – the Australian artist divides his time working between Melbourne and Los Angeles.

“After a while, I started to realise that I was using the transition between, initially Melbourne and New York, and now Melbourne and LA, to have this sort of control over my environment,” Thomm explains.

“By being able to change my location, I feel like I could get a fresh start, especially when there’s a 14-hour flight. I work on a project and I burn out or whatever and I can just come back, reset and go again.”

Spending on average eight months in LA and four months in Melbourne each year during the Aussie summer, the artist finds shuttling between the two cities a powerful trigger for inspiration as well as a way to “separate projects, thought processes and ideas”.

For Thomm, Melbourne is always a bit like a “retreat” – one where he can hide away and focus on what he wants to create.

Naturally, his personal life also exists somewhere in between the two hemispheres, with homes in Fitzroy and the Hollywood Hills shared with wife-turned-studio-manager Jay Ramsay. After years of back and forth, the couple has slowly smoothed out the process of packing up, moving out and settling in on repeat.

“As you go on in your career, the work gets harder and the schedule becomes more intense, so we try and simplify everything else around that,” Thomm says. “I try to have 14

There’s no better feeling than waking up, something doesn’t exist, you go into the studio, you create something and you leave having brought something new into the world for people to enjoy.

as few variables as possible and just make it all about the art.”

The Melburnian runs studios in both cit cities that are fitted out with almost identical setups, allowing him to seamlessly move between starting a project in one place and finishing it off in another. “There’s always a bit of a crunch [when I’m about to leave a place] and it can be stressful. But the payoff is worth it in the long run for me.”

Having two spaces to work from also avoids the hassle and cost of shipping large-scale pieces halfway across the globe.

Maximising time in each city, Thomm schedules his commissioned works together, work working on 10 to 20 pieces at a time.

The process is consistent and intense.

Each piece begins by finding a striking colour palette to blend. “I like to think of the works as portals that are these hypnotic freeze-frames of emotion that you can’t describe,” he explains. “For me, my studio is a bit like a science lab where it’s just a series of experiments trying to find these unique

combinations that bring out those feelings.”

Often the base starts off with traditional media like paint before working up layers of ink, pouring glossy resins and firing with a blowtorch for a glass-like shine and uniform finish. You can get a glimpse of this process on Thomm’s Instagram account, where he regularly shares behind-the-scenes videos from his studios.

The artist notes social media’s pivotal role in his early days. But as his work evolves, so does his relationship with the online space.

“Now it’s still important, but I try not to let it dictate what I’m doing, which can be really hard at times,” he says.

When we speak, Thomm is working from his new studio in Preston (previously located in Richmond) where days usually start at 10 o’clock and go on till whatever hour “burnout” creeps in. “I feel like every day for me is the same, I’m in the studio nearly all the time.”

It makes sense that Thomm is busy – his past 12 months have been bigger than

ever before. Earlier this year, he worked on a car wrap for McLaren at the Miami Grand Prix (a long-held dream, he says) and created a series of artworks for luxury fashion house Louis Vuitton, now on display at stores in New York and Las Vegas.

More recently, Thomm has spent much of his time – 10 months to be exact – painting between 20 and 30 pieces for Tiffany & Co that will be hung in shopfronts around the world. “Tiffany is currently in the process of redoing all of its stores with a big focus on art, so it’s been really cool to work just on that scale,” he explains.

Slowly rolling out into 25 stores inter internationally – including flagships in Bondi, Atlanta and LA – the works will continue to rotate throughout the jewellery brand’s outposts. “People from cities that realistically I may never do a show in – but there’s probably a Tiffany store – now get the chance to go in and see my work,” he says. “It’s cool to have a gallery-like vibe in these places.”

When asked how the opportunity came about, Thomm says that luxury conglomer conglomerate LVMH had his name on a list of artists for its brands to work with. Said list was made by the late American fashion designer and artistic director of Louis Vuitton menswear, Virgil Abloh.

“Virgil and I talked quite a bit whilst he was alive and always spoke about doing stuff together and potentially collaborating on things, but time just gets away,” Thomm says.

The Tiffany series is created exclusively in the iconic label’s signature blue, which took some doing. “I’m used to working with a really wide colour palette so trying to stick to just one colour, especially for so many art artworks, was definitely a big challenge,” he says.

“But it’s these sorts of things that really refine your craft. You have to find new ways to work within very tight confines.”

This continuous pushing of boundaries is fuelled by a constant desire to create, he says.

“There’s no better feeling than waking up, something doesn’t exist, you go into the studio, you create something and you leave hav having brought something new into the world for people to enjoy.”

Speaking with Thomm you get the feeling he could talk about art all day, if given the chance. “I always picture myself being like some 80-year-old dude who’s just in his studio still painting,” he jokes. It’s a bit of a full-circle moment from his days in high school, dabbling in craft and finding his vocation. “I didn’t realise that through my whole life, this is what I always wanted to do.”

Glen Iris

NEED TO KNOW Glen Iris beckons with idyllic parks, prestigious schools and a delightful cafe culture.

Lush green streets provide a serene haven, appealing to families and retirees. It’s a versatile neighbourhood – perfect for starting out, raising a family or downsizing.

ountiful parks, period homes, cosy cafes and bars, leafy streets and prestigious schools make up the lush Glen Iris lifestyle. Green spaces offer quiet moments of serenity, but there’s enough energy humming around High Street, Glen Iris Road and Burke Road for a lively neighbour neighbourhood feel.

Gardiners Creek Trail and the nearby Anniversary Trail are magnets for joggers, cyclists and dogwalkers, while open spaces like Ferndale Park and the wetlands of Glen Iris Park draw locals wanting some outdoors time. Those who prefer to get active in the pool or on the court can try the (ironically named) Harold Holt Swim Centre or play a game or two at the MCC Glen Iris Valley Tennis Club.

To refuel, pick up a peanut butter pretzel cruffin from AM Bakehouse (among other sweet goods) or head to Platform Espresso for classic brunch staples. Close by there’s Mr Tucci (run by a trio of siblings), Asian-inspired cafe Baba Sus peddling plates of Hong Kong egg waffles with green tea ice cream, and Napa – a light-filled space blending the flavours of Mexico and Korea. On weekends, come in the evening-time for tapas, Curatif canned cocktails and rosé from Provence.

Over on Glen Iris Road, an ingenious rotating sign signals the shift of a two-pronged eatery – from bright coffee and brunch spot Pantry Glen Iris to moody Asian-inspired diner and cocktail bar Too Good Talker by hospitality heav heavyweight Julien Moussi.

Or head to Burke Road for Roman-style pizza made in an imported Castelli oven (one of only two in Australia) at the newly opened 100-seat diner Grazia. There’s also house-made pasta, eclectic Italian wines and a must-order dark chocolate and hazelnut gelato on the menu. Down the road you’ll find Tom Pockett Cellars, specialising in small-batch wine from family-owned and operated businesses. Pop in for a nightcap or a bottle to takeaway.

Glen Iris is home to Stonnington’s first brewery, Deeds, housed in a small side street next to Glen Iris train station.

At its taproom and kitchen, enjoy 22 different beers poured from 28 taps – great for whiling away the weekend.

STUDIO VISIT

STUDIO V ISIT

Co Bake Space Words by Gitika Garg · Photos by Amy Hemmings

A

sk Alice Bennett and Alisha Henderson what a typical day at Co Bake Space looks like and they both laugh before answer answering simultaneously: “Chaos”.

The two studio owners are bakers, cake art artists and Aussie Instagram baking stars and seem to resonate to the same upbeat energy. You can tell there’s as much fun to be had in their shared kitchen as there is cake.

“It’s a bit silly and very supportive … We’ve built an environment here that makes you want to come to work, and we get fomo every time we’re away,” Bennett tells Broadsheet. “It’s like glorified partying,” Henderson adds.

The pair first met over Instagram and then in person years later at a day-long pastry class – they were the only two wearing pink dresses and sneakers amid a sea of pastry professionals in chefs whites. Earlier this year they teamed up to open Co Bake Space in Richmond.

As the name suggests, it’s similar to the concept of a co-working space – but for bakers and other food and drink makers. A former bakery with a small shopfront on busy Swan Street and a commercial kitchen out the back, Co Bake Space is a big departure from the tucked-away commer commercial kitchens in Footscray (Bennett) and Hillside (Henderson) they were working from previously.

The duo has the kind of loyal Instagram audiences most brands and bakers can only dream of.

Online and off, Bennett runs Miss Trixie Drinks Tea, whipping up vintage-style cakes adorned with picture-perfect piping, lollies and puns.

Henderson operates under the name Sweet Bakes and focuses on cakes with hand-painted messages, drawings and occasional pet portraits.

Behind the kitchen doors, there’s serious business going on, as well as silliness. There’s always music (a ’90s “mum playlist” in particular), and each week 100 kilos of butter and 900 eggs are delivered. An early riser, Henderson gets in by half past six (“proper baker hours” she notes) while Bennett prefers to start her mornings by nine. Throughout the day (assisted by a baker each), they’re busy fulfilling orders and trying (many) bites from each other’s trays.

“Obviously our styles and finished products are 18

quite different, but the process, quality and care are very similar,” Bennett says. “We’re both massive food snobs and very particular about what’s going into our cakes.”

Not only is the bricks-and-mortar studio a place where the bakers can share a kitchen and bring their online businesses to three-dimensional, crumb-coated life, it’s also a space for creatives and brands to do the same – with regular workshops, pop-ups, classes, tastings and photo shoots.

Designed by Dot Dot Dash, the brief for the fit-out was “not cake-y” or “sprinkle-y” Bennett explains. The shopfront has an all-peach interior with warm lighting, touches of gingham and a sign over the kitchen reading “Caking in progress” that lights up like an “On air” radio sign. While the design scheme speaks to both of their brands, it’s a blank enough canvas for guests to add their own flourishes or activate the space without bringing anything but themselves and their goods.

“Generally, small businesses, especially online, don’t have the chance to engage with their audiences, so we facilitate that nice halfway point where they don’t need to go out and get [their] own space,” Henderson says.

So far, Co Bake Space has hosted the likes of ex-Attica pastry chef Rosemary Andrews, Masterchef contestant Reece Hignell, Melbourne gumboot label Merry People and The Great Australian Bake Off 2023 winner Laura Foo. Artisan bread specialist Backhaus Bakery, Cherry Pie – baking family-recipe American pies for Halloween – and local maker Dreamcatcher Candles are upcoming.

Bennett and Henderson are happy working together and inviting others into their space – a fact that’s puzzled some who question why competitors would team up and run their businesses from the same location. To that Bennett says, “There’s enough pie to go around in Melbourne.”

“You don’t just go to one restaurant for the rest of your life because you love the food. Our clients love good cake and so they actually bounce between both of us,” Henderson adds. “It’s a great way to elevate and complement each other.”

Preparing for the future at ELC Words by Kate Jones

A child’s curiosity is a glorious thing to behold. Their frequent and fascinating questions about why and how things work often signal the start of their educational journeys.

These early days are vitally important in shaping the way children learn and discover the world around them.

For many, this starts at an early learning centre where children prepare for that allimportant first day of prep and beyond.

The first 100 days of a child’s experience at an ELC will see them grow their knowledge base exponentially. It’s a magical time of growth, says Margaret Sellar, head of early learning at Melbourne Girls Grammar.

“Within their first 100 days at our Early Learning Centre, we really see the children blossom and expand their horizons as they are introduced to adults outside of their family and start to forge their own identity – one separate from their parents,” she says.

“The first 100 days is basically the time we make the child feel comfortable with the routines of going to school, being independent, feeling socially confident and helping them to feel excited about learning.”

Children play a major role in their learning with educators taking the lead from their questions. By following their passions, Sellar says children are more engaged in learning.

“For example, if the children ask questions about butterflies, we will organise to have a chrysalis delivered to the class so they can watch the butterfly emerge,” she says.

“To support their interest further, we will draw and paint butterflies, learn a song about butterflies and perhaps even create a story about them.”

It’s widely acknowledged that youngsters learn through play, so early learning centres provide a place for them to try to experiment with new activities.

Educators provide the support and encouragement they need to work alongside other children.

Grasping new co-operative skills naturally boosts a child’s self-esteem, says Jacinta Janssens, head of Wesley College’s Elsternwick campus.

“In our Early Childhood Learning Centre, children learn through independent exploration, learning together through both play and discovery,” she says.

“They develop their social and academic skills and self-confidence and independence, without even realising it!

“Our youngest learners, just like their older peers, are encouraged to be active learners, and we acknowledge how capable they are at making meaning of the world around them.

“Many aspects of our programs and approach support their curiosity and desire to learn, as well as fostering their self-efficacy and their confidence in their own ability.”

Parents choose to enrol their children in ELCs for a variety of reasons. But perhaps the most important of all is school readiness.

ELCs are staffed by specialist educators with a focus on developing the skills children need in preparation for school. Programs often cover literacy, numeracy and STEM lessons with resources that childcare or a kindergarten may not have access to.

Best of all, an ELC feeds their curiosity, enabling them to become lifelong learners.

TRAVEL

Caloundra, QLD

by Hollie Wornes

N

oosa is a well-known Queensland hotspot, naturally drawing travellers to its pristine beaches, headland walks and balmy weather. For those who relish the Sunshine Coast vibe but loathe the tedious holiday queues down Hastings Street, head 70 kilometres south and you’ll hit Caloundra. The relaxed seaside town offers a similar buzz during the busier months, but with visitors dispersed across the coastline it doesn’t feel nearly as crowded.

An obvious choice for young families is Bulcock Beach, just off Happy Valley Park. Minimal waves, a sprawling grass area and a popular fishing esplanade make it an easy spot to while away an afternoon.

Prefer somewhere with a bit more of a break? Stroll along the boardwalk to Kings Beach. Stretched over 500 metres, there’s plenty of room to surf – either body or board depending on the day – plus a popular water park for kids. Finish up a sun-drenched day at Kings Beach Bar. The casual diner, nestled under pandanus trees, offers a tidy cocktail list, a reliable food menu and live music every Sunday.

For holidaymakers who don’t mind a little humidity, take the headland walk to Moffat Beach.

Start with a cup of coffee at Aurenda Coffee Co before heading off on the three-kilometre route.

The seaside trail offers a number of whale-watching vantage points, secluded beaches and dog-friendly

paths. At the end you’ll be rewarded with a lesser-known suburb, home to laid-back locals, coastal boutiques and one of the town’s trendiest boozers: The Pocket Espresso Bar. Keen to explore some of the region’s best attractions? It’s an easy 20-minute drive to Australia Zoo and a 40-minute drive to the Eumundi Markets, open Wednesdays and Saturdays. Or experience some of the best local producers and makers without going anywhere at all. Every Sunday morning, Caloundra Street Fair takes over Bulcock Street with 120 different stalls, and once a month there are twilight markets at Currimundi Lake and Bulcock Beach Esplanade.

This lovingly maintained art deco beauty, the doublestorey Anthos, has been held by one family for the past five decades and retains many original features. Set on a very generous 2520 square metres or so within Brighton’s famed golden mile, metres from the beach and cycling tracks, this is a rare opportunity to buy into this tightly held enclave.

The property could be renovated or extended, or the ultimate dream home could be constructed in its place (STCA).

A stunning glass-roofed conservatory is the highlight of this impressive home. Spanning a generous seven-plus metres, this informal family room (one of four internal living zones) enjoys northern light and has a gas fire and built-in cabinetry.

The rest of this free-standing, double-storey Victorian-era property is a mix of period refinery and modern elegance, exactly as you would expect from a grand home positioned in one of South Yarra’s most desired tree-lined streets.

This contemporary home offers luxury living, space, privacy, lifestyle flexibility and effortless entertaining, so it’s not surprising it won Master Builders Victoria’s best custom home award last year. It was built by AGUSHI and designed by architect Dan Webster, with interiors by Studio 11:11 and landscaping by Nathan Burkett. Highlights include three generous living zones, high ceilings, premium finishes and fixtures, a pool, a covered al fresco dining space and lawn.
