The shimmer of television still won’t hide the blood, sawdust and tears to be shed on Nine’s The Block. The risk and reward for the couples who tackle this year’s renovation hangs in the balance, as fickle as the tides in the bay at the location of the series, again set in St Kilda. Don’t forget that when teams finally send their properties – at The Oslo, on Grey Street, along which, the poets might say, the demi-monde wander – under the auctioneers’ hammers, the market conditions are genuine. Meet Shelley Craft and Scotty Cam, the long-standing hosts of the show, who will be a steadying influence. ●

FIRST PERSON
““I am Rob Osborne” … and I’m a driving instructor Before this I was training for the police. But about
two weeks before I was due to start at the academy, I slipped two discs in my lower back. I was too honest, and there was no way I would have been able to do the fitness test. The injury was something so innocuous; I thought I’d save a bit of money by doing some gardening. The next morning I flicked the kettle, got off the couch to get my coffee and my back just pinged. I was out of work for a year. It didn’t just hit me physically, it was mental as well because I’d always been quite active. My best friend suggested I become a driving instructor. His whole family were instructors, and he said: “Maybe that’s something you might look at because you’re pretty good at talking, you’ve got a good memory and you’re quite patient.” So I literally just fell into it. I did my course at Box Hill TAFE for about five months – learning the road law book back to front, how to teach safe driving techniques and operate dual control cars. The first few times I took a student for a lesson, it was nerve-racking. They’re quite nervous as well – they’ve never met you, never driven, so I talk about a whole host of things – TV shows, what they’ve eaten, just to try to take their mind off the task. People would think most students would be 16 or 18, but the majority are uni students or middleaged. The younger generation, they’re reluctant to get their licence because of Uber and Ola. I’ve had a few students who are hearing impaired or visually impaired. For hearing impaired drivers, I’ve either got flash cards or I’ll use more hand gestures. There’s a lot more pedal usage as well because they can’t hear the engine. I recently picked a bloke up from a retirement home who was born in 1927. He’d had a stroke a few years ago, and his son got in touch with me. His left arm was shaking with Parkinson’s and from the stroke, so I wanted to get him back out on the road. I tell you what; it was a struggle to keep him under the speed limit. The old bloke just kept going and going. I said: “It’s only 60 here, you’re doing 70 – come on, you’re going to get me a ticket!” At this stage I love being a driving instructor. It doesn’t really feel like work to me. I don’t think it’s for everyone, but I love it. ●

COVER STORY
BLOCK BUSTER
I Shelley Craft and Scotty Cam: from kids’ show host and carpenter to two of the best-known personalities on television.

DOM A IN REV IEW
t will be 20 years this October since Scotty Cam was in a pub having a drink with his mates when his life changed forever. Cam, 56, was an established builder and carpenter and had no ambitions whatsoever to get into television, but a chance encounter was about to alter the course of his future. “A bloke saw me in the pub and asked me if I wanted to do a screen test,” Cam says. “I initially said no, but then he came and tracked me down to the building site where I was working and convinced me to do it, and a month later I got the job on Backyard Blitz.”
Shelley Craft and Scotty Cam have the experience and teamwork to steer Nine’s signature property renovation show through it’s greatest challenge yet.
Cam wouldn’t have imagined he would still be on screen two decades later, but he has gone on to become one of the most recognised faces on Australian TV. “When I first started I thought if I get three or four years out of the industry I would have been happy,” he says. “So all of the sudden, 20 years down the track I’m still going – I’m pretty proud of that.” For his co-host on The Block Shelley Craft, her launch in the industry came 22 years ago on the kids’ cartoon show Saturday Disney. For Craft, 43, it provided a great experience learning every facet of the industry’s inner workings.
stressful – logistical exercise. “I always bang on about every year being the biggest Block ever, but this is actually the biggest Block ever,” Cam says. “To be honest, I think we may have gone a little bit too big for this one. It broke the contestants a bit, it’s broken me, and it’s broken everybody. We will see how it goes, because it does go a little bit pear-shaped throughout the series.” Cam lives in Sydney with his family, and Craft is based in Byron Bay, but they both enjoy coming to Melbourne each year to film The Block. During filming, Cam stays at his house in Port Melbourne, a
“It broke the contestants a bit, it’s broken me, and it’s broken everybody ... it does go a little bit pear-shaped throughout the series.” SCOTTY CAM
“We wrote, edited and produced all our own stories,” she says. “We booked our own crews, we did everything. Working on the show was also a great insight into what works on television, as kids are a tough audience.” Cam and Craft have been filming on the most arduous – and largest – series of The Block yet, at the old Oslo Hotel on Grey Street, St Kilda. Cam and Craft have a fantastic working relationship, and they needed it as this 15th series of The Block, confronting the five competing teams, is more challenging than ever. The Oslo, a rundown backpackers, will be transformed into five huge, multi-level luxury houses, which is set to be a massive – and very
suburb he has grown to love, so he lives in Melbourne during the week but travels back and forth to be home with his family in Sydney, where he is renovating his house. “I love Melbourne and I love Sydney as well, so it’s great to have a bit of both,” Cam says. “I’ve got friends in Port Melbourne now and we hang out at the bar of the Port Melbourne Bowling Club and my wife often comes down, so we really enjoy ourselves in Melbourne.” Craft loves the variety of spending time both in Byron Bay and Melbourne. ‘We’ve been in Byron for 10 years now,” she says. “We walk a lot slower than anyone else in the city.
Wo r d s
LU K E D E N N E H Y ●
“It’s a perfect balance for me and this job is an amazing luxury, because I obviously get to come and go from Byron to Melbourne. “Melbourne is like a second home, so I’m excited to come back every time a new series of The Block starts.” Both Craft and Cam say this year’s contestants have had it really tough and, as always, there is drama. “They are a really good bunch this year but there is also a lot of angst, I think because The Block is so big this year,” Cam says. “There are also a few blues along the way but that comes, I think, with working in close quarters and living on top of each other seven days a week, for three and a half months. “It becomes untenable sometimes. We’ve got some great characters and some great workers, but we also have some stubborn people and some who are lazy and don’t listen.” Both are also thanking their stars to be part of a show that is a ratings success year after year. The first series of The Block aired in 2003 when Jamie Durie was the host, tackling a reno in the Sydney suburb of Bondi. Cam hosted his first series of the show in 2010, while Craft joined in 2011, when The Block renovated a row of houses in Cameron Street, Richmond. “The show is a monster that just keeps on getting bigger and better,” Craft says. “To think that it has gone on for so long is just plain awesome to be honest. “Not many shows have that longevity like this one, and I feel very privileged and lucky to be part of the furniture.” ●

his recipe is all about decadence and indulgence. I was inspired to create a recipe for a Christmas in July dinner party. Think cold winter nights sitting in front of an open fire, indulging in this warm softcentered boozy prune pudding served with a warm brandy butterscotch. It is best served with a dollop of cream or vanilla bean ice cream. I guarantee it will leave you craving more. This recipe also freezes well so it don’t be shy about making a double batch and saving some for later. If you do not have brandy handy, disaronno (almond liqueur) or whisky works a treat as well. Alternatively, to keep it under 18, simply remove the brandy. Rug up, snuggle up and dig in. ●

as long as you fill only 2/3 of the way up. Line a 20cm square cake pan with overhang. For the smashed prunes, place the fruit in a bowl, sprinkle in baking soda and pour in boiling water. Let it stand for 10 minutes, add in the brandy then mash well with a fork. For the pudding batter, place sugar and butter in a bowl. Beat until combined and smooth. Add egg and beat until incorporated. Add flour then sprinkle baking powder across the surface. Mix until flour is incorporated. Add the smashed prunes, mixing quickly until the fruit is well blended into the batter. Pour the batter into the greased muffin tray. Bake for 25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. In the meantime, prepare the brandy butterscotch sauce. Place ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, stir, then bring to a simmer for 2 minutes, stirring once, then remove from heat. Turn pudding moulds upside down on the serving plates. Present warm with equally warm butterscotch sauce and ice cream or cream. ●

EDUCATION & INNOVATION
Preparing for the future
R
ecess, lunchtime and after-school are busy times at St Monica’s College in Epping. Some of the science and technology classrooms have become STEAM hubs – a place for students interested in understanding how things work to meet and brainstorm ideas. The hubs have become popular with boys and girls with a passion for computing, robotics and coding but as well as encouraging interest in the important STEM subjects, St Monica’s has added arts to the mix – hence the STEAM acronym. It’s just one way in which the co-educational catholic school is preparing students for their future workplace, whatever that may look like. And St Monica’s College is not the only school keeping a close eye on how to best equip students

with the right skills and mindset for the future. Across Melbourne, educational experts are developing new facilities and programs to cope with constantly changing workplaces. The STEAM hubs were introduced within the past year at St Monica’s College – initially at the junior campus and now the senior campus, too. “We have an ex-student who is a world champion drone flyer and some of our staff have donated old PlayStations and students have refurbished them and created gaming hubs. They can do coding work, take apart computers to understand how they work, and they can learn robotics and general tinkering,” says Cameron Whitford, deputy principal at St Monica’s College. “The hubs allow students to explore whatever they want with the available equipment. We’ve included the Arts and do some work around visual design, textiles and clothing design and we’d like to bring in digital arts in the next few years, too. “The hubs encourage an entrepreneurial spirit. When you think of some of the ideas and start-ups that came out of Silicon Valley, some of those
happened by default. The hubs encourage students to have a go, to fail and to try again.” The school has also undergone physical changes with learning spaces becoming adaptable to smaller groups or more open-space learning. St Monica’s also continues to build cultural and racial awareness and respect in an increasingly global world. At St Catherine’s School in Toorak, teachers encourage students to develop complex problemsolving skills. The girls’ school’s academic programs are guided by the advice of Australia’s chief scientist, Alan Finkel. “Finkel argues the importance of actually specialising in something – mastering a discipline and building a solid foundation in content that can then be applied through problem solving,” says principal, Michelle Carroll. Finkel also refers to the importance of the ‘T-Worker’, a term coined by IBM. “The vertical line of the ‘T’ represents a deep expertise in a specialised field and the horizontal bar represents the flexibility to apply this expertise creatively and collaboratively across a range of different situations and scenarios,” says Carroll.
“What is important for the future is the interconnection between a depth of knowledge in disciplines with key competencies such as critical thinking, communication skills and collaboration, and genuine character traits such as persistence, leadership and social and cultural awareness.” Encouraging students to take advantage of leadership opportunities is also a focus at St Catherine’s and the school actively uses its Old Girl network to mentor students. Carroll believes parents can also support their children to develop the skills and qualities that will help them in the workplaces of the future. “Parents need to foster a drive that enables teens to strive when challenged by learning when it is difficult and to seek opportunities for their daughters to ‘find their voice’ through reasoned thinking and articulation of ideas,” she says. “And parents must help by raising children with strong character traits that engender curiosity, persistence, leadership and a social and cultural awareness.” ● SARAH MARINOS

Cosy and earthy in line with the Hurstbridge vibe, this house gives the builder-owners a peaceful, easy feeling whenever they arrive home, and that’s exactly what they had in mind when designing and building it two years ago. Creating a functional base to suit their young family was also part of the plan, hence the open-plan living arrangement where all can keep an eye on each other, indoor-outdoor connection aiding air flow and regular passage of little feet, and the insistence on enough yard for the bodies attached to those feet to run off steam. Keen on seeing green but not so on maintaining a lawn, they opted for artificial grass, with most of it in view of the hub and deck. The corner block means two street frontages. Double gates open it to Anzac Avenue, while the driveway and double garage are accessible from Curtain Road. On the initial sighting, the recycled-red-brick construction is impressive. Step inside, and soft carpets, blackbutt floors, and feature walls offsetting an arctic-white palette should have the aesthetically inclined as happy as pigs in the proverbial. The main bedroom, with walk-in wardrobe and en suite, is reached via the entrance hall. Through the open-plan hub and off the rear hallway, two minor bedrooms with built-in wardrobes snuggle up with the bathroom and laundry, off which is a toilet. The open-plan hub faces north. Extensive glazing on two sides drenches its kitchen, dining and living zones in natural

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.
