Caulfield Racecourse is unique in the world of sport – it’s a public park.

The day photographer Julian Kingma visited the track for this week’s cover shoot with the face of 2019 Caulfield Cup Carnival, Laura Dundovic, a few local walkers and their dogs trotted past, as frocks were fluffed and poses perfected. Larger, more powerful four-legged beasts take over the turf for the carnival this month. It is such an intimate sporting arena that punters might find a divot in their bubbly glass as thoroughbreds storm right past the swish Heath Enclosure, almost close enough to touch. Meet Laura inside. ●

FIRST PERSON

““I am Sally Capp ” … the Lord Mayor of Melbourne By the later years of school, I really wanted to be a lawyer, but I was told by my career advisor that there’d be no way I’d get into law school.

Maybe it was the wake-up call that I needed, because I went home and said to Mum and Dad, “I’ve been told not to put law on my preference slip”.

They said, “no way – if you want to do it, put it down, work hard and see what happens”.

I started in the law, settling into commercial, but moved into a number of other roles over the years, including at ANZ, ending up as head of the chief executive’s office. I loved that opportunity, but it was followed by extended time-off because I had a malignant tumour and radiation therapy.

Until that point, my health had been fantastic and the only thing holding me back was my own

willingness to have a go, and here I found myself in a situation where physically I wasn’t able to do the things I was used to doing.

That really knocks you about, including your mental health.

I started to focus more on those things that were most important to me. I felt a need to contribute to the community in a real and meaningful way.

The opportunity to run for Lord Mayor seemed like the right opportunity at the right time.

We had more than 100 volunteers over the three months of the campaign, a lot of whom had never been through that sort of experience before, including my parents.

When you ask people to back you in your dream and they do, it’s humbling in the extreme.

As told to

Ph o t o

On a day-to-day basis, I am working with our City of Melbourne team on council business and engagement with constituents.

I represent the interests of our constituent groups in delivering a better Melbourne. So, I spend a lot of time learning from people and organisations who are doing great things around Melbourne.

I’m also the chief champion for Melbourne when it comes to the state and federal governments. I do a little bit of media and go to a hell of a lot of events to support organisations, ranging from cultural and community to business.

We’re empty-nesters, so I have the luxury of being able to dedicate seven days a week to the job and I feel lucky to be able to do that. It’s full on, but I’ve never been more stimulated. ●

odel, actress and TV personality Laura Dundovic is the face of the 2019 Stella Artois Caulfield Cup Carnival and she is most looking forward to bringing a touch of glam to the track in the city she now calls home.

“I am obsessed with ’80s silhouettes and have always loved fashion,” says Dundovic, who counts fashion labels Bec & Bridge, Dion Lee and Rachel Gilbert as her favourites.

She admits she was shy and very clingy to her mother as a toddler, and discovered a love of acting in high school before battling chronic fatigue in her late teens, which wasn’t diagnosed until the age of 21.

“I was a total tomboy as a child, I preferred the company of my brothers over hanging with the girls.

I guess it was all I knew as a kid,” she says. Dundovic says growing up with

difficult battle. “I was tired and sick for a long time, I have a genetic disorder and auto-immune disease so fatigue is a massive issue for me.

“I get sick easily so my motivation to keep fit is for health, not so much a physical thing,” she explains.

Dundovic is enjoying her time in Melbourne. She now lives here with her boyfriend Quade Cooper, a star recruit for the Melbourne Rebels rugby union team, and the pair have been dating for five years.

“We met through a mutual friend and we’ve been together ever since,” Dundovic says.

“Quade loves to travel as much as I

Dundovic says. “He taught around seven of us and we became a tightknit group. Even after the course was over, Serhat would have us over for movie nights, taught us about documentaries and watching people and discovering all sorts of characters and roles we could evolve into.

“Serhat taught me that when you love what you do, you want to help others. He took great care of his students and inspired me, to not just want to succeed in acting, but to help others in life being an important message too.”

Her busy schedule also includes training for marathons – you’ll often

As ambassador, Dundovic will be trackside for Ladbrokes Caulfield Guineas Day (October 12) and Stella Artois Caulfield Cup Day (October 19). Racegoers will also flock to Catanach’s Jewellers Blue Sapphire Stakes Day (October 16).

Dundovic first came to attention as the winner of Miss Universe Australia in 2008, that accolade pushing her into the spotlight, securing ambassador roles with David Jones and fronting fashion campaigns for label Charlie Brown.

The psychology graduate is also a nutrition coach who spends a lot of time at the gym training, too – you can’t get her six-pack abs by just

a Croatian father meant there were rules – he was strict and life was tough as a teenager who wanted to date boys but had to wait for her moment. She loved playing soccer (her dad was her assistant coach at high school), and inherited his fix-it skills by topping her computer classes at school, but didn’t feel comfortable in her own skin until she turned 18.

“As a teenager I really didn’t like my body because I was tall and quite thin,” says the 180-centimetre model, now aged 32. “When I started modelling I still wasn’t that confident, but once I turned 18 I met boys taller than me and started to feel more comfortable within myself – I didn’t feel so lanky and awkward.”

And what I really love about Quade is his connection to his family in New Zealand. Family is important to both of us.”

Dundovic made her feature film debut as Sandra in the 2019 movie Me & My Left Brain and wants more of the silver screen life. She thanks her mentor at NIDA Serhat Caradee for being her voice of reason.

“I was in Croatia for my brother’s wedding a few months ago and posted some workout videos while overseas; some people reacted by saying, ‘Why would you work out on holidays?’” she says.

“But for me it’s about taking care of myself and doing what I love – that means training too for strength and fitness. And after experiencing chronic fatigue, I know what it takes to get exhausted easily and what I need to do to keep my health in check. I’m doing this for me, there’s really no other reason. I love to keep myself healthy and I want to be around for a long time.” ● ● mrc.racing.com

ne of Boris Johnson’s first actions upon becoming Britain’s Prime Minister was to inject a pile of cash into his country’s worsening retail crisis.

Whatever we may think of the PM’s Brexit policies, his curious PR antics and his unkempt hair, Johnson’s move to increase to £1 billion the British retailers’ fighting fund is to be applauded.

The UK High Street Crisis has left one in 10 shops empty. Towns outside the Greater London area are struggling to retain the kind of buzzy retail energy required for a healthy community life. If ever help was needed, now is the time.

I was reminded of this a couple of weeks ago when yet another “For Lease” sign went up outside one of my neighbourhood shops. It sent a chill down this shopkeeper’s spine. Another great retail idea turns to dust and an individual, a family, a partnership or shareholders are left wondering what happened to their dreams and their investment.

No government – state or federal – will use the word “recession” when referring to the economy’s current downturn. In retail, we have been using the R-word for months. A perfect storm of unfavourable circumstances – the federal election in May, rising

VILL AGE LIFE

A local call to arms Grassroots retail is suffering a death of a thousand web clicks. household expenses, a shaky stock market, house prices dropping, and landlords who refuse to review rents for fear their properties will decrease in value – has shaken our sector to its core.

The “perfect storm” influences are out of our control, but there is one way we can all fight back to try to save our retail ecology – shop local.

Over the 10 years since we opened our Melbourne bookstore, we have battled the influence of Amazon and Book Depository. I have watched my fellow shopkeepers – the family pharmacy, the kids’ shoe specialist, the shop that sells soaps and candles, the women’s boutique – also come under siege from online (usually international) competitors. If people stop visiting their local shopping centres, or if they use stores simply to try out their potential online

purchases then return home to click-and-buy, then businesses like mine will fold.

Online shopping means fewer people visit our villages. The sense of community and connection in places like Gertrude Street, Fitzroy, or Rathdowne Street, Carlton, High Street, Ashburton or Church Street, Brighton, will disappear.

It’s time shoppers and retailers together embrace the principles of the Shop Local movement that has swept the US in the past decade, and its Save Our High Street UK equivalent.

We need to be reminded of the many joys that accompany a visit to your local trader. It is good for us, good for our children, and good for our older folk to feel a part of the street shopping experience.

about the bespoke shops I love to visit. Beautiful environments, cleverly-curated ranges, the service and advice offered by friendly staff, the discussions we share, and the relationships we form.

And each day I watch customers come into our bookstore and browse the stock, chat with us, chat with one another, and enjoy the space. Can shopping from home provide that same personal connection?

Shops like ours are safe, inclusive environments.

We give back to our community. We host events. We donate to local schools and kindergartens. We employ local people. We pay local taxes.

Shopping local starts with all of us. Less clicking and more strolling is the key. Ditch shopping alone and opt instead to do it with others – and among others.

Wham! Behind the band T H E R E VI E W

I

t was the meeting that was to form the genesis of one of the most successful pop bands in history.

In 1975, a shy 12-year-old by the name of Georgios Panayiotou arrives at his new school north of London and is taken under the wing of classroom troublemaker Andrew Ridgeley.

And so begins a touching memoir charting not just the rise of the phenomenon that was Wham!, but also the deep, lifelong bond between two young men who set out to conquer the music world.

The partnership was forged over a shared love of Elton John and Queen, with Ridgeley taking us back to the suburban living rooms where he and George would listen for hours to records, before forming their own band at the tender age of 16.

From there, he takes us through their endless attempts to break onto the music scene, before

finally striking it big in the early ’80s. Ridgeley writes candidly about the highs and the lows.

He and George lapped up the adoration of screaming fans, but there was tension about song writing (he eventually ceded this to George), and, of course, there was George’s constant struggle with his sexuality and his desperation to avoid being outed for fear it would kill his career.

The book is full of the stories behind hits like Last Christmas, and Ridgeley also writes lovingly about

If fresh eggs, unplugged downtime and outdoor activity figure in your notion of the perfect lifestyle, this property fits the bill.

Away from the city bustle but close enough to all a family needs, the lot of just under 0.4 hectares offers a hilltop dwelling surrounded by productive and play-friendly grounds.

Lots of land and an invitingly-uncomplicated house convinced the current owners to purchase here nine years ago. They’ve since painted the interior white, updated the kitchen and refitted to the bathroom to contemporary standards. Ducted heating and airconditioning do ditto for climate control.

Along with preserving the orchards, they’ve added vegetable gardens and a cubby with sandpit and mud kitchen, from which their kids make mud-lattes to order.

Frogs and birds call the gardens home. Echidnas drop by, but the creatures to which the street owes its name remain elusive.

Access the property via either driveway leads to garages with attached carports. Entry to the house is across a porch affording liberating vistas over the front garden.

Once in, the foyer flows in to a dining area that connects with amalgamated kitchen and family areas. In harmony with the timber-lined ceilings, the kitchen has timber benchtops. Stainless-steel appliances and subway tiling lend a modern edge.

Doors in the dining area lead to two of the three minor bedrooms and the bathroom. Both bedrooms have built-in
