KRISTOFFER PAULSEN

I have just finished a book called Love! by Zoe Foster Blake, the wife of this week’s cover star, Hamish Blake.

In her bright and breezy tome, navigating modern matters of the heart, Foster Blake – funnily enough – didn’t mention how her husband made her a replica of the White House from Lego and declared it a symbol of his affection, a la The Notebook. In this week’s cover story, Melbourne’s own Blake explains that cheeky exchange and shares the joy of his first solo hosting gig on telly – a new Nine show that marvels at Lego’s infinite possibilities. It’s one for the young and young at heart. ●

COVER STORY Everything is awesome for Hamish Blake as he brings a childhood favourite to life on television.

The big build-up

H

amish Blake was in the US filming his Gap Year series in 2011 with his wife Zoe Foster Blake when he rediscovered his love of Lego. “When we were in America I made my wife the White House – it was something to do because we were living there while doing the show at the time,” he says.

“It kind of became this meditative thing for me to do at night, to keep working on the White House.

“I then told her it was like The Notebook, where the guy in The Notebook played by Ryan Gosling builds a house for the girl he loves, and I tried to convince her it was on the same level.

“I guess that was the first time I came back to Lego as an adult.”

Even the mention of Lego makes Blake nostalgic for his childhood in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs.

“We had this old blue Ikea tub full of Lego, for a good 10 years of my life,” he says.

“I think it’s probably pretty similar to a lot of people’s childhood.

“It was the go-to if there was nothing else to do.

“You were only allowed to watch half-an-hour of TV a day and it had to be the ABC, or whatever the rules were back in the 1980s.

“After we had already gone outside and kicked all the bark off the tree in the backyard, me and my brother were like, ‘let’s just get the Lego out and have another crack’.”

Hamish and Zoe are now introducing Lego to their own children, Sonny, 4, and Ruby, 1 – and for Blake, it’s like going back to his youth.

“I think you always maintain a healthy respect and admiration for the world of Lego, but you don’t

“Of course it’s rad to do fun stuff with Andy – it’s also great to do different things.” really get back into it until you’re a mum or a dad,” Blake says.

On the set of his new TV show Lego Masters for the Channel Nine, Blake is like a kid in a candy store.

The set at the Melbourne Showgrounds is a Lego lover’s dream, with 2.5 million pieces of Lego in all colours, shapes and sizes packed into a room dubbed The Brick Pit. It is from there that contestants from around the country will build their Lego masterpieces, with the winner taking out $100,000 in prizemoney.

It is Blake’s first solo role hosting a show without his longtime best friend and TV sidekick Andy Lee, and Lee has given Blake his blessing to go for it.

It’s apparent that Blake is a natural on his own, just as he is working with Lee. “I enjoyed hosting the show but it was not because I was looking to get away from Andy,” he says.

“I just enjoyed it for the creative challenge.

“Of course it’s rad fun to do stuff with Andy – it’s also great to do different things.”

B

lake is one of Australia’s most enduring and likeable television stars.

A Gold Logie winner in 2012 and still only 37, it feels as though Blake has been on TV screens and the radio for far longer.

For the former student of Caulfield Grammar, a career in the entertainment business was far from his mind.

“At high school, I won the maths prize and it was a foregone conclusion that I would become the dean before the end of my time at university,” he says.

“I would get my degree as a technicality, but it was presumed I would be a professor – that [idea] evaporated quite quickly.

“The thing about uni is you get there thinking you were so smart at high school, but then there are kids at uni who really loved their stuff.

“That wasn’t exactly me.”

It wasn’t all bad though for Blake at the University of Melbourne, where he was studying commerce and struggling to make all the lectures and tutorials. It was there that he met Lee, and before long they were working together at Melbourne’s

B L A K E I N T H E B R I C K PIT

breeding ground for the stars, Channel 31. The rest, as they say, is history.

While Lego Masters sees Blake make his debut in a solo gig, he will soon return to work with Lee on a new series for Nine called Hamish and Andy’s ‘Perfect’ Holiday, which will see the boys once again hit the road, adding to their Logie-winning Gap Year series and Caravan of Courage specials.

The show will be produced by the pair’s own company Radio Karate, and filmed later this year.

It continues the TV legacy of Australia’s most popular on-air duo.

“I do miss him,” Blake says of Lee. “Our idea of a perfect holiday is to go and do silly things with each other overseas, so yeah, we are feeling pretty blessed.

“We’re chomping at the bit to get back out there together. Hopefully we will be travelling together and doing ‘Perfect’ Holiday for the next 50 years.” ●

Hamish Blake’s Melbourne Favourite cafe or restaurant …

Very tough, always keen to try new ones, but we have a local milk bar that’s the heart and soul of our neighbourhood. At the moment though, Capitano for pizza and a cocktail can’t be beat for a night out!

Place of quiet reflection ...

We live near the MCG so walking through the grounds of the ’G with my kids and or wife (or solo!) is beautiful. A lot of gum trees that close to the CBD is a very good thing.

Must-visit for art, design, shopping or culture …

Can I shock you? NGV for art. For general Melbourne vibes, especially for the kids, it’s good to visit the Abbotsford Convent

Tales from the disaster zone LAST MONTH

W

e’ve all had them. Days when absolutely nothing seems to go right, no matter how settled and organised your life may otherwise seem.

The Full Catastrophe is a rollicking chronicle of the “stuff-ups, cock-ups and calamities” experienced by well-known Australians.

The tales of woe are pulled together by social researcher Rebecca Huntley and ABC broadcaster Sarah Macdonald who, for some years, have put on a show of the same name. It was Macdonald’s own full catastrophe that got the ball rolling.

The death of her beloved dad sent her into a black hole of despair. If that wasn’t enough, her mum fell ill and needed hospitalisation, and then she herself came down with a bad flu ... all while her husband was overseas and her kids were on school holidays.

As she concludes, “Sometimes you just have to roll in the deep, deep doo-doo of life”.

We hear from Today show presenter Deb Knight about a calamitous holiday to Japan involving a noisy apartment and a lost three-year-old.

Demographer Bernard Salt recounts the storm that enveloped him after his 2016 newspaper column in which he (tongue-in-cheek) referred to Millennials breakfasting on smashed avocado in cafes instead of saving for a house deposit.

“This thing went global, viral and feral almost immediately,” he laments.

Fashion designer Alannah Hill shudders at the recollection of a bad experience with a blocked toilet. Again, if you didn’t laugh you’d cry! ●

estaurant closures last month diverted the limelight away from their newly launched counterparts. We bid farewell to a Melbourne icon and a one-year-old city venue that repeatedly received shining reviews. On the opening front, Sun Kitchen on Albert Park Lake is a reminder that Chinese immigrants have been nailing fine dining and service in Australia for as long as the Europeans, while three Japanese venues have joined the scene including a refined coffee and traditional snack house, a kitschy gyoza hot spot and the city's first “sushi boat” (like a sushi train, but it floats).

Gyoza is the signature dish here, fried until a crisp layer binds either 10 or 20 pieces together, with the option of melted cheese on top. Grab

EDUCATION & INNOVATION

Off to a flying start

S

ince it first opened its door in 1893, Melbourne Girls Grammar has been on a mission of “empowering tomorrow’s women”.

One way in which the Anglican school is doing this is by placing a firm focus on innovation, particularly technology-based learning and skills.

“We are future-focused and committed to inspiring our Grammarians and equipping them with the values, knowledge and skills to be ready to make their mark on the world,” says principal Dr Toni Meath.

Supporting this, the school has a strong STEM program that builds competencies in solving design, systems and computational problems.

“Our program fosters budding futurists who are enamoured by what could be, and who are excited to be an enterprising part of making their visions of the future become a reality,” says Ivan Carlisle, director of STEM and a former engineer.

One of the most popular aspects of STEM at the school is drone technology. Students in years three and four participate in the Queen Bee Flying Program. Last year, it gained national recognition and earned Melbourne Girls Grammar a place in the list of Australia’s “most innovative schools”.

Students learn how to operate indoor drones and work towards obtaining the school’s own version of a drone licence. The program also builds electronic and computing programming skills.

The drone program is also extended to older girls at the school as part of the school’s Careers Inspiration initiative. Melbourne Girls Grammar has partnered with the Institute for Drone Technology to provide students in years nine to 12 with an opportunity to complete their Remote Pilot Licence (RePL).

The qualification is certified by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority and allows the licence holder to fly

drones for commercial purposes. Last year, six students attained their licence after studying aviation theory and regulations, learning how to professionally pilot drones, and passing a tough theoretical exam plus a practical flying exam. “Melbourne Girls Grammar has shown great leadership in fostering a deep interest in STEM among the girls,� said Dr Joel Spencer, chief executive and co-founder of The Institute for Drone Technology. “The skill to operate a drone will be a great advantage to these girls as they move forward with their studies, their lives and their careers.�

Year nine student Sophie Paterson, 14, became the youngest female remote pilot in Australia. The students who earned their RePL said it challenged preconceived ideas that aviation was a male domain.

Some also said they intended working with drones in their future careers. “The percentage of female pilots at Australia’s major airlines ranges from about 4 to 9 per cent, and women make up as little as a quarter of the total STEM workforce. Soon, I aim to get my first commercial job involving drones, which could

possibly extend into a full-time career,� said year 11 student Olivia Perkins.

Carlisle says: “Career inspiration opportunities such as the RePL can be transformative to students. “They provide a challenge that requires perseverance and come with the outcome of a genuine qualification that can result in employment.

Micro credentials, like internships, provide an efficient means for students to sample a vocational pathway and broaden their perspective on what career they may wish to pursue.�

Carlisle says the school will continue to work with drone technology. “While gender imbalances do persist in some areas of STEM, our students at Melbourne Girls Grammar are critically reflective of this reality and are empowered to have the confidence to pursue what they are passionate about,� he says. “Experiences such as the RePL reinforce that attitude for our students that they can do anything that they set their minds to.� � � mggs.vic.edu.au

The appeal of Federation-style architecture has endured, and this impressive homestead takes the grand proportions of that era and combines it with amenities and comfort of a modern home. Just 10 minutes from Bairnsdale, the property has been developed over 15 years, and sits on 36 hectares of land that’s divided into eight paddocks with two dams. Within the residence, there are two living areas, four bedrooms, and a theatre room (or fifth bedroom). The front verandah wraps around the side of the house, and there’s a wide verandah at the rear with countryside views.

There’s also an old dairy building, with separate areas for a workshop and pump room. ● ARIANNA LUCENTE Agent: Bill Wyndham & Co, Warren Meade 0412 981 531 Price: $1.05 million Private sale

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 definitely the best part of my job.”

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