On a trip to New York City recently, a local told me that the reason why celebrities love living there is because of apathy. People just don’t care to bother them for an autograph, or a photo, when they walk down the street. Australians are the same (I’ve seen Oscar winners dining on South Yarra’s Chapel Street while other patrons paid no mind). And so Hollywood actor Isabel Lucas (an understated starlet), who made her name in local soapies and has several Hollywood blockbusters to her name, is enjoying the inconspicuousness of living again in Australia. Writer Jane Rocca met her. ●

COVER STORY
IN LIKE ISABEL Actress Isabel Lucas has moved from the bright lights of Los Angeles to coastal Australia, but she’s still in the spotlight.

ustralian actress Isabel Lucas hit the Hollywood big-time when she scored a debut film role alongside Ethan Hawke in Daybreakers in 2009. What followed was seven years of striking A-list gold in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen with Shia LaBeouf and Red Dawn alongside Aussie heartthrob Chris Hemsworth. But after an almost decade-long run, she decided to move back to Byron Bay, reconnect with the hinterland and go back to the US when required for work. “There's something liberating about making that decision to come back,” says Lucas, 33, who is in Los Angeles auditioning at the time of this interview.

“I love the quote ‘be the change you want to see’ – you can apply it to relationships, friendships or the environment.”
She sold her home in LA three years ago, and couch-surfs instead (hanging with actor friend and Looking for Alibrandi star Kick Gurry for the past month) and makes sure she takes evening acting classes to keep her creative juices flowing. “For me it's important to work and feel creatively nourished,” she says. “If I am in a place where I am connected with family and people I love, it will show through my work. I also find the work just keeps coming when I am in that space too.” So instead of trying to survive in a big city, she found a way to keep earthed in Australia and go back to the epicentre of cinema when need be. “I am totally committed to my career, but I like that feeling of being on the edge, it keeps it very real for me. I feel most alive,” she says. Her latest feature film, is in the biopic In Like Flynn. Directed by Russell Mulcahy, the movie maps the early life of Errol Flynn – an Australian war veteran and actor who also went to Hollywood to pursue acting. Shot on the Gold Coast, Lucas plays Rose, one of the many women whose hearts were broken by Tasmania-born Flynn. “I get to wear a red wig and play one of a few female characters who were heartbroken by him and his escapades,” explains Lucas. “I really enjoyed working alongside Thomas Cocquerel [Errol Flynn]. It's a beautiful period film with amazing costumes that were wonderful to wear.” Born in Melbourne, Lucas spent her childhood moving between Switzerland and Australia until her mid-teens. Her father Andrew, a biodynamic farmer and retired pilot, met his Swiss wife Beatrice (Isabel's mum) at a bus stop in France.
They wrote love letters to one another for 10 years before marrying to have two children. Isabel's sister Nini is two years older and works as an environmental lawyer. Once Beatrice moved to Australia, she started working with autistic children, taught dance therapy and completed her PhD in Aboriginal dance. But she never lost her connection to her native Switzerland, with Lucas schooling there at the age of seven and again at 15. She is fluent in German and French as a result. There was a stint in Kakadu from age nine and 10 (her dad worked for Kakadu Airlines) and she became good friends with an indigenous girl Natasha Neidjie – the granddaughter of the late Kakadu elder Big Bill Neidjie. “My best friend Natasha is a ranger now and showed me a lot of bush tucker and we'd go on these amazing walks back then,” she says. “I went back after 20 years just two years ago and it was amazing to go camping and reconnect with that period in my life.”
L
ucas never planned a career in acting, but after a successful three years playing Tasha in the soap-opera Home & Away between 2003 and 2006, quietly went on her way to woo Hollywood. The petite blonde star scored roles on the TV series Emerald City and MacGyver, which added to her reputation as being both hard-working and committed to the craft. She won a Logie Award for Best New Talent in 2004 and later a Young Hollywood Award (Star of Tomorrow) in 2011. While back in the US, she also went to New York to work on a short film with French filmmaker
Thibaut Buccellato, the man behind The Space Between Us. When it comes to her private life, Lucas is careful about sharing details. But that's what is appealing about her too. Even though she once dated Chris Hemsworth and singer Angus Stone – and also counts actor Leonardo DiCaprio as a friend– she prefers to avoid questions of the heart, putting her radiant energy into conversations about the environment instead. For example, she was one of a handful of artists, actors and musicians chosen to attend an environmental trip to Heron Island Research Station to learn about climate change and its impact on the Great Barrier Reef. “Being at Heron Island expanded my awareness about climate change issues and the urgency for us to step up now,” Lucas says. “I love the quote ‘be the change you want to see' – you can apply it to relationships, friendships or the environment.” “Stepping up yourself gives others permission to be a bit more honest and vulnerable and we can all empower one another that way.” The former face of Melbourne Spring Fashion Week is also a brand ambassador for eco-skincare line Sante by ENJO and supports the Climate Council and Citizens of the Great Barrier Reef. She's one of many celebrities, including Cate Blanchett, Natalie Portman and Sam Worthington, pushing the green envelope by urging Aussies to take a stand, to reduce plastic consumption, consider animal rights and live more sustainably. “I am passionate about getting environmental conversations started,” she says. “But I don't want to come across as a preacher or that I know everything, because I don't, but we can all learn by listening.” ●

hen counter-culture music icon Neneh Cherry began working on her fifth studio album Broken Politics, it was more than a reflection of global issues such as racism and sexism – she proved the personal is also political in her quest to navigate menopause without losing sight of her self-esteem. “I had a few difficult years from the age of 51 to now,” says the 54-year-old singer who moved from Sweden to London at 16, embracing punk, living in squats and finding her musical feet. “I was really battling with myself. I have always been anti-ageist and never believed in that crap, but I struggled with the psyche of feeling redundant and not sexy any more. My kids had grown up and moved out of home and, while we’re all still a family, I felt everything I had done with that centre focus was suddenly shifting.”

itself – sometimes that’s annoying, but that’s who I am in music. But, I learned not to be too dependent on that. I was all about shifting in new spaces this time.” Produced by Kieran Hebden (Four Tet), there’s a quieter and more reflective tone to Broken Politics despite its heavy title. “Kieran is a big fan of my work and that of my late dad’s [Don Cherry] and we have a mutual respect for one another. He was great to work with. “When my husband and I gave him these songs we told him we wanted there to be space for peace. I felt sonically that Kieran managed to open the door

in this new room. This is not a rejection of the last album [[Blank Project, 2014], it’s just the next move.” Her protest songs are a reminder to society to not turn a blind eye to events around the world. “I felt like it was time to cross this bridge again. You can’t ignore racism, fascism, women’s issues, gender, race, starvation, abortion and we can’t pretend everything is going to be all right any more.” Songs like Shot Gun Shack – which takes its name from popular buildings found in the deep south of the US, especially New Orleans, from the end of the Civil War to the 1920s – is about gun culture. It’s about “the notion of war zones and the tragedies that guns bring there”, she says. But there is hope. “I feel the younger generations are becoming active and know they actually can make a difference. They refuse to lay down and swallow shit,” she says. “I chose to be a conscious person and don’t always do and say the right thing or have the answer. I am turning Rubik’s cubes every day, but I am getting the conversation started and not afraid to share my thoughts.” ●
Branch by Tribu
The daughter of Sierra Leone-born musician Ahmadu Jah and the stepdaughter of jazz trumpeter Don Cherry, Cherry became a musical force in the ’80s and ’90s with hits such as Buffalo Stance and Manchild. Almost 30 years since releasing her chart-topping debut album Raw Sushi, Cherry has remained a vital source of inspiration – her genre-bending style clinging to beats, pop and occasional rap. “Those decades were incredibly good to me,” Cherry says. “When I put out Raw Sushi in 1989 I had no idea what would happen next.” But going back into a studio to make her latest album, with husband and long-time collaborator Cameron McEvoy (of Massive Attack fame), she had to find her place again in the cluttered world of music releases. ““Broken Politics is about bringing pieces from my lifeline to the forefront,” Cherry says. “It’s connected to the music I grew up on and has elements of me in there. Songwriting is always challenging – for me, I tend to get anxious, insecure and worry if anything will come out,” she says. “I have a sound and a form that likes to repeat

Amalfi lemon tart White wine, olive oil & vanilla pastry
Serves 10-12 2 hours, plus chilling
Method ■
Pastry 250g plain flour, plus extra for dusting 50g icing sugar, plus extra for dusting 75ml olive oil 75ml Greco di Tufo white wine ½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste Filling 5 large lemons 500g quality ricotta cheese 150g caster sugar 2 large free-range eggs
CALORIES 323kcal FAT 14.4g SAT FAT 4.9g PROTEIN 8.5g CARBS 41.5g SUGAR 22.8g SALT 0.2g FIBRE 0.8g
■
To make the pastry, put the flour and icing sugar into a large bowl with a good pinch of sea salt. Make a well in the middle, then add the oil, wine and vanilla paste. Use a fork to whip up the wet mixture, gradually bringing the flour in from the outside until it comes together as a ball of dough. Tip on to a lightly floured surface and knead for just a couple of minutes, then wrap in clingfilm and place in the fridge for 30 minutes. On a flour-dusted surface, roll out the pastry to about 3mm thick. Loosely roll it up around the rolling pin and unroll it over a 25cm loose-bottomed tart tin, easing and pushing it carefully into the sides.
■
Trim off any excess, patch up any holes, then prick the base with a fork, cover with clingfilm, and chill in the freezer for 1 hour 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180ºC. When the time’s up, bake the pastry case blind for 25 minutes, or until lightly golden. Meanwhile, finely grate the zest of 1 lemon and put aside. Squeeze all the lemons to give you 150ml of juice, then whisk with the rest of the filling ingredients until smooth, by hand or in a food processor. Pour into the tart case and bake for 30 minutes, dusting with icing sugar and sprinkling over the lemon zest for the last 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool – it will have a slight wobble, but will set as it cools. Dust with extra icing sugar, then slice and serve. ●

tephanie Alexander occupies a special place in Australia’s food landscape. If you don’t have “the bible” (aka The Cook’s Companion) on your bookshelf, someone you know does, and for the past 17 years her Kitchen Garden Foundation has equipped children with the skills to grow, harvest, prepare and share seasonal produce. Today nearly 10 per cent of Australian schools with a primary curriculum have adopted the kitchen garden program, but it’s been left behind come secondary school – until now. “A lot of primary school students transition to secondary school and they really miss their kitchen garden program,” Alexander says. “Parents, students and teachers have all put their hands up in different ways and said they’d like to see the kitchen garden program in secondary schools as well.” Encouraged by the kitchen garden community, the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation, in partnership with AstraZeneca Australia, has announced the development of a curriculum-integrated kitchen garden model for secondary schools.
Stephanie Alexander’s kitchen garden program is flourishing. Wo r d s
S O F IA L E VI N
The new program comes off the back of a startling national survey commissioned by the partnership, which investigated the food habits of secondary school students and their parents. More than 67 per cent of 1000 parents across Australia, surveyed by PureProfile, admitted that their children could do better when it comes to healthy food and lifestyle knowledge, and almost 43 per cent believed that poor food choices come from a lack of education in secondary school.

ORIGINS OF GOOD FOOD
The one in four Aussie children who are obese or overweight have a 25 to 50 per cent chance of becoming obese in adulthood. This figure jumps as high as 78 per cent for older adolescents. A secondary-school kitchen garden program which integrates literacy and numeracy skills is a logical solution. “It’s wonderful to be modelled positively at home, but we certainly can’t assume that it’s happening,” Alexander says. “In many cases, children aren’t being positively modelled at home, and that’s why they [have] bad food habits and a limited palate.” The three-year pilot program involves three Victorian secondary schools: Narre Warren South P-12 College, Numurkah Secondary College and Western Heights College. More will join next year. Feedback from teachers, students and parents will determine what resources The Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation provides to help implement the program. “Those resources make teachers thrilled; they hang on our necks and say, ‘This makes it all so much more meaningful’, and it makes it fun,”
Alexander says. “I just want to make sure that in among the messages about nutrition is also enjoyment and freshness and pleasure.” While the pilot program is underway, parents can help children form good food habits over the school holidays. Start by putting a copy of Alexander’s new book – The Cook’s Apprentice‚ which Alexander describes as “an essential teaching cookbook for the younger cook who’s just starting out” – under the Christmas tree. Alexander also encourages families to involve their kids when cooking. “The best thing of all is to have somebody there who shares your enthusiasm,” she says. “If you’ve got a grandma or mother or uncle who’s interested in cooking, that’s the best way for kids to get encouraged and assisted by someone they love.” Success also builds confidence, so remember to congratulate your children when they cook. If all else fails, invest in a hand-cranked pasta machine. “It wins them over every time,” Alexander says. “I’ve never met a seven or eight-year-old who isn’t completely entranced by one.” ●

Some streets have a knack for calling you back. Resident in this one before a stint overseas, the owner of this house considers herself fortunate to have purchased again in the same thoroughfare 12 years ago, especially as its properties rarely grace the market. There’s an easy flow to the living areas. The backyard is totally private and planted with low-maintenance natives, so the bird life is extraordinary. The house was built in the late 1980s; renovations were completed a few years ago. Casual and airy, the interior has Baltic pine floorboards in all but wet areas. There’s space for spreading out, spots for gathering, and dashes of personalised personality. The lower-ground level comprises a double garage and storage area. Up the steps and across the entrance porch, the principal level kicks off with a foyer. To the right of the foyer, the L-shaped lounge and dining room has tall windows that look over the street, and links to the central kitchen. Large and sparkling, the kitchen has an island bench around which this family sits and chats during dinner preparation. Should you hold a party, you’ll probably find some revellers hanging out in here. The family room off the kitchen provides further space for socialising – glass doors connect it with the backyard. To the foyer’s left, a hall leads to the three minor bedrooms, two with built-in wardrobes. At the end of the hall, the main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite. The slope of the backyard affords vast views. Blue-
