Who is Richard Roxburgh?

An accomplished actor, film and television director and children’s book author who counts some of Hollywood’s A-listers as friends, yes, but despite all the accolades and rave reviews, above all else Roxburgh is a family man, devoted to his wife, TV personality and cook Silvia Colloca, and their three young children.

Journalist Jane Rocca chatted to Roxburgh on all things work, life and family and how he’s loving fatherhood in his 50s. ●

FIRST PERSON

““I am Sarah de Witt ” … and I’m a professional tea sommelier I didn’t have a defining “I love tea and I’m gonna

make a career from it” moment, but there was a turning point when I was studying psychology and found that tea de-stressed me. I started with herbal tisanes before transitioning to the hardcore teas.

I decided to take a break. I’ve always been entrepreneurial and, being on a student wage with not much to lose, I thought, “Why don’t I just start a business?” I’d been reading about tea and found that the least likely demographic to enjoy it ran from 2035. The perception was that tea was for older people, which I thought was nonsense.

There was also a gap in the market: Melbourne’s food, coffee and wine scenes were huge, but tea wasn’t being done justice.

In 2014, I opened my first tea business, Impala & Peacock. I fell so in love with it that I never went back to study.

I’ll never forget my first customer: he ordered a chai with soy milk and honey on the side, and was genuinely excited about the product, rather than the hundreds who’d walked in and gone, “Oh, you don’t do coffee”, and marched straight out again.

I studied and became an accredited tea sommelier with the Australian Tea Masters Association. It was a year-long course covering the fundamentals, science and art of tea with a lot of flavour profiling and testing – every week we’d get a bunch of different teas to analyse and brew. I also run a loose-leaf tea company, as well as Mary Eats Cake.

There’s a really creative element to blending tea, and inspiration comes from the weirdest places. I remember washing my hands with an Aesop soap that had rose, cardamom and elderberries through it, and thought I should work on that for a tea blend.

Running a business means wearing a lot of different hats. The only constant is that I drink a lot of tea: I always start off with black tea in the morning, then I go to white, then green around lunch, moving towards herbal blends in the afternoon so I can sleep at night.

I try not to judge how other people make tea, but there are little things that scratch at me. For instance, milk should always go first. It disturbs me when people put it in last. ● ● maryeatscake.com.au

COVER STORY

H

MICHELLE SMITH

e’s one of Australia’s most acclaimed actors and a film and television director who has written a children’s book. The year ahead truly belongs to Richard Roxburgh, who returns to the big screen in two Australian films that couldn’t be more different.

Go Karts is a comedy designed to tug at the heartstrings and features actress Frances O’Connor, while a more serious move is made with Danger Close – a war movie about Australia’s involvement in the Battle of Long Tan starring Travis Fimmel.

For someone who has dabbled in Hollywood films ((Mission Impossible 2 and Moulin Rouge, both made in Sydney) and directed his own drama ( (2007’s Romulus, My Father starring Eric Bana), there’s a paternal need that’s fulfilled when working in Australia – particularly now that he has become a dad for the third time, to daughter Luna, aged 15 months.

“Seven weeks, that’s the cut-off for me,” says the 56-year-old Roxburgh, who is making a menswear campaign debut with Van Heusen, of the amount of time he can handle away from his family for work.

“I came to parenthood at an older stage in life and love that it happened for me.

“I thought that ship had long sailed and I had made peace with that but when I finally did become a dad, my spirit was ready for it.”

His children, Raphael, 11, Miro, 7 and Luna put life in perspective for the ambitious actor, who is also adored for his role as Cleaver Greene in the ABC TV legal drama Rake, which returned to our screens last weekend.

“I think people like the cheekiness of Cleaver, there is something about his hopelessness that we can all relate to,” says Roxburgh.

“In a world that is becoming politically correct and nanny-stated, we long for a person on our screens who breaks away from that and says what he feels.”

Family time: Silvia Colloca and Richard Roxburgh.

DOM A IN REV IEW

Born in Albury, NSW, Roxburgh is the youngest of six children who grew up in the border town until moving to Canberra’s ANU to graduate with a bachelor of economics. His father John, who died at the age of 91 in 2011, was an accountant who ran his own business in the regional town.

A desire to act saw him enrol at NIDA, which led to him working with the Sydney Theatre Company before landing his first major TV role as Roger Rogerson in the TV mini-series Blue Murder Murder.

Happily married to Milanese actress, cooking author and TV personality Silvia Colloca, Roxburgh admits his ability to work on a variety of TV and movie roles is all thanks to an understanding partner who runs a tight ship back home.

Soon after Luna was born, they moved to the hills of Tuscany for a few months and quit the northern beaches of Sydney for a rustic Italian life.

Roxburgh, who can speak Italian and has an Italian passport, says it was the perfect escape. “The two

either at the beginning or midway point. “I found the midwinter cold of New York excruciating. I was in an apartment by myself, trudging through snow every night and missing them back home. That’s when we decided to give our eldest boy a 10th birthday present that involved him coming over for two weeks.

“He would come into the theatre every day and loved it so much. It was a very special moment in time to see his beaming face arriving.”

Over a glass of pinot, he and Blanchett make lists of stage roles they’d love to undertake. The pair has shared the stage for more than two decades and are close buddies. It’s banter between friends, discussions that keep the creative juices flowing and the very real process of being an actor.

“We write lists, we talk about the roles we would love to play on stage which we haven’t yet. I guess the fact I make lists means I’m still thrilled by what I do, but not all is always possible,” he says.

these days.”

boys got an experience at the local school and Silvia and I had time with Luna. We got to eat peasantstyle, good quality food. What I love about the Italians is what they can do with such few ingredients. It’s not about eating like the rich – it’s about making ‘cibo povero’ [poor food] rich in flavour,” he says.

The career and family juggle is real, but he says age has mellowed him and while he’s still keenly ambitious to do films, flirt with Hollywood and appear in theatre shows, he’s acutely aware his children will only remain that for a short time.

Last January he starred alongside his good friend Cate Blanchett in The Play – a reworking of Chekhov’s Platonov written by her husband Andrew Upton that opened on New York’s Broadway.

“I am hopeless away from my family. I would love to be better at it but I am just not. I feel very Italian in that regard,” admits Roxburgh. “When I take on a role overseas there’s a pact the family has to visit –

“As an actor you have to remain alive to all possibilities. I like to dip my toe in around the place, but love to come back home to the glorious northern beaches of Sydney. It’s a balancing act and having Silvia as a partner who has great understanding certainly makes the process easier.”

As part of his role with Van Heusen, Roxburgh will also take part in a mentoring panel alongside comedian Nazeem Hussein and Paralympic gold medallist, Invictus Games ambassador and former army officer Curtis McGrath.

The actor will share stories about his journey in film and television.

“It’s interesting to see I am now at a point in my life where people think of me in that way,” says Roxburgh. “I used to be fairly reckless in youth, but maybe you gather wisdom points as time goes by, you manage to stay alive and I would like to think I was capable of some reasonable advice about life choices these days.” ●

Rowe says the pair clicked over a common love of fun and silliness.

Drysdale also mentors self-confessed “crap housewife” Rowe who, she jokes, missed out on the tidy gene. When Drysdale visits she takes control of Rowe’s kitchen. A grateful Rowe says her friend’s tips about stove temperatures have resulted in fewer

f there was a record for laughs a minute then Jessica Rowe and Denise Drysdale would be undisputed world champs.

When the television personality and entertainment legend get together the giggles flow like champagne, and there’s even the occasional trademark snort from Rowe.

There’s a 21-year age gap between the unlikely pair – Drysdale is 70 later this year and Rowe is 48 – but a common love for fun and laughter, which blossomed when the pair were panellists on the set of Channel 10’s morning program Studio 10, has another life in its own chart-topping podcast One Fat Lady and One Thin Lady.

Their weekly offering, which has just reached more than 200,000 downloads, is recorded around Rowe’s dining table in Sydney or in the hotel room of Drysdale, who commutes from her home in Queensland to work.

“What you hear on the podcast is exactly what happens in real life,’’ Drysdale says.

Rowe agrees, saying it’s fun and easy.

“There’s no extra agenda or carry-on,” she says.

“It’s like dropping in on a friend. It is just Neesie and I chatting, having a great laugh and finding a lot of joy in the everyday things in life. I love doing it – it brings me such joy.’’

The pair had never met before they began working together three years ago, but Rowe’s husband, newsreader Peter Overton, worked with Drysdale on the Ernie Sigley Show and Ernie and Denise in the early 1990s.

“We wanted to have fun doing something together,’’ Drysdale says. “The podcast is a continuation of the friendship.

“I feel like I’ve known her forever, I could be her mother! It’s so hard to meet good people and make new friends when you’re older, so it’s like a gift from

burnt dinners, while the introduction of panko breadcrumbs has been a “revelation’’.

Rowe and Drysdale will take their show on the road later this year for a series of live podcasts around the country. One Fat Lady and One Thin Lady will also feature on Virgin’s in-flight playlist from next month.

“We’re also available for conferences and Las Vegas gigs. Everything,’’ Drysdale laughs. ●

Jason Grant has a host of practical and ingenious styling tips for spring entertaining.

ever labour over how to perfectly scatter lounge cushions again after following Jason Grant’s lowmaintenance tips for high-traffic areas. Stylist and author Grant is known for his laid-back home aesthetic – the key to great entertaining areas, he says. The aim is spaces that are lived-in and loved, that reflect your personality.

In Melbourne recently for a styling masterclass with World of Style by Porter Davis, Grant revealed just how he pulls off his very Australian approach.

KITCHEN Styling your kitchen for entertaining is no different than for any other occasion; it’s simply about amplifying details to make the ordinary feel extraordinary, Grant says.

“Sometimes those high-traffic areas are the kind of places we create to be more functional and we think we can forget about them, but it’s important to give them just as much love,” he says.

“It’s about having a little beauty in the everyday.”

Small items to focus on in this typically functional room include the fruit bowl, dish rack, soap holder and tea towel, all of which can be updated for relatively little cost, he explains.

If you’re someone with a great range of tableware, showcase this proudly by installing some basic shelving.

If you don’t have any spare space, the Bondi stylist recommends taking the doors off your existing kitchen cabinetry.

S T Y LI S T & AU T H O R JA S O N G R A N T

LIVIN G ARE A Creating a stylish room is all about investing in quality and timeless pieces, starting with the floor rug.

“I always recommend getting the bigger floor rug rather than the smaller one. I think that’s a great way of defining and setting the tone for the living area,” Grant says.

Inject some personality into this room by displaying meaningful items on a mantelpiece, sideboard or coffee table. This may include photographs, books, house plants, ceramics, candles, or more functional pieces such as lamps and coasters.

“For people who aren’t expert decorators, these are really safe places to experiment and play,’’ he says. ‘‘It’s about finding those places where you can create a little moment.”

Limit your spending to pieces you truly love, even if it takes you a while to find them. “I think your home needs to be a sanctuary, somewhere relaxing, and just filling it up can be too much,” Grant says.

DININ G RO O M The dining area is where styling is most likely to deviate from the everyday, but this doesn’t mean it requires hours of preparation.

Simply by placing on the table some handpicked flowers in a vase, or a tray of objects found in nature, such as interesting stones and leaves, is way of instantly bringing beauty inside the home.

Enjoy being creative with your table setting, start with a linen tablecloth and layer with handmade

plates, unscented candles (“You want to be enjoying the meal, not the scent of the candle”), elegant glassware, napkins and decorative ceramics of varying heights.

One way to encourage the rest of the family to maintain your look year-round is to keep decorative items on the dining table, therefore avoiding it becoming a dumping ground when not in use.

“Just putting something on the table leaves less space for laundry and ironing!” Grant explains. ●

ART ABOUT TOWN

Visions from the deep A Melbourne landmark informs Hannah Nowlan’s latest show, Cerberus.

C

hildhood memories of a sunken warship form the inspiration behind the latest body of work by artist Hannah Nowlan.

Cerberus, Nowlan’s third solo exhibition since graduating from the Victorian College of the Arts in 2015, is named after the 19th century naval ship that was sunk as a breakwater off Half Moon Bay in Black Rock in south-east Melbourne in 1926.

The local landmark has always been a creative reference point for Nowlan, who grew up in Black Rock and remains a resident of the suburb.

But the heritage-listed site acquired a deeper significance for her following the death of a close family member earlier this year.

The shipwreck, which she has visited regularly with her family throughout her life, became the

catalyst for a series of artworks where she documented the grieving process and her eventual return to a state of hope.

“It’s a sinking, decaying, fragile ship – but it’s also robust and strong and has this physical presence in the landscape,” says Nowlan.

“Cerberus, for me, is a really strong physical presence, being there when I was a child and where I was growing up.”

The ship’s name – derived from Cerberus, the three-headed dog that guards the gates of the Underworld in Greek mythology – had added resonance for Nowlan after the loss of her loved one.

The paintings, which are on show at gallery and furniture store Modern Times in Fitzroy, are abstract depictions of the ocean floor as viewed

The series of 20 oil-on-canvas works use a sombre palette ranging from light sandy tones to rich greens and blues and on through deep charcoal greys and black, reflecting the change in colour as one moves deeper underwater.

“The landscape, and what I’m going through personally, always comes through in my art,” says Nowlan, who helps run the family’s online retail business, Grain of Descent, in addition to her artistic practice. “[The exhibition] is dark and moody, but there is a sense of light, where you can see the hope coming through.”

Each piece is framed by Nowlan’s father, Rick, a woodwork teacher and carpenter, in an extension of the exhibition’s focus on family ties. ● CERBERUS BY HANNAH NOWLAN \ Exhibition showing at Modern Times, 311 Smith Street, Fitzroy.

Many have “I was there” tales of watching the iconic weatherboard collapse in flames, the outpouring of support for owners Frank and Sharon Van Haandel that exploded onto Twitter, and the surprisingly deep sense of loss felt by Melburnians at the destruction of this beachside landmark.

Stokehouse (fancy fine-diner upstairs), Pontoon (allday Basque-inspired grill) and Paper Fish (kiosk fish and chipper) – has settled into its new skin.

Pontoon is slick, an industrial, designer 250-seater, softened by squashy leather banquettes, warm woods, and chunky nautical rope. It’s prime party territory, sporting a Euro vibe, well-stocked bar and snacky shareables that run all day.

Come early, stay late, bring the dog, watch the sunset, grab coffee on a morning walk, or brunch on brekkie pizzas, granola in a glass or bacon bloody marys. The only people it doesn’t cater to are early risers, unless 11am on weekends is early for you.

At Pontoon’s heart is fire. Nearly every dish has

an ingredient that’s spent time on the four-metre grill, in the smoker or the pizza oven, all fired by charcoal and redgum.

Green pizza is a signature, its blackened, chewy base cooked on the stone oven, topped with hazelnut pesto, charry broccolini and green beans, held back from being too guilt-free with ricotta and a fine grating of pecorino.

Tuna ceviche, designed to hold in one hand while you have a beer in the other, is a smoked chilli number in a crunchy, iceberg lettuce cup, the dressing blasting the delicate fish flavours.

fried and served with caper tartare. And if you were here on International Doughnut Day a few weeks back, you’ll have already tried Pontoon’s golf ballsized, briochey doughnuts filled with rhubarb jam and sticky with butterscotch sauce. Pontoon gave away over 500 of them. Are they popular? You bet.

Top deals include burgers on Mondays (hello, $10 swordfish burger), pizza Tuesdays ($12), and steaks ($20), such as Rangers Valley rump cap, on Wednesdays.

In summer, Pontoon is slammed, it’s the place to be. Right now though, as spring is about bud, it’s more low key. Easy service, delivered by longpracticed waiters, runs year-round. ●

SAM WOOD \ FITNESS

Think outside the gym Where there’s a will, there’s always a way to work out.

W

hen I first started my online fitness program, some people doubted whether I could have the same success with online participants as I do training with face-to-face clients. How very wrong they were!

The truth is, you don’t need to have access to an expensive studio, or even a gym, to achieve incredible results. Here are a few of my favourite exercises that you can do anywhere, any time and that won’t cost you an arm and a leg.

INTERVAL RUNNING \ I believe there’s a runner in all of us, and the good news is it’s an incredible workout for your body that can be done anywhere – I love to go for a run when I’m travelling as it’s a great way to explore a new city. You could also take

it a step further by adding intervals to your run. Not only will you get more bang for your buck with less time required and more calories burnt, your body will continue burning calories after your workout has finished.

BODY-WEIGHT BURNERS \ The best thing about

body-weight exercises is that the options are endless and you don’t need any equipment. Body-weight exercises can be done in the kitchen, in a park or even in a hotel room. There really are no excuses not to work out!

To get the most out of your body-weight moves, pick ones that target multiple muscle groups. My favourite calorie-burning, body-weight exercises include:

Denture One Haweil Prosthetics Pty Ltd

• Denture Relines • Denture Repairs • Veterans Affairs welcome • Victorian Denture Scheme

Ultra lightweight, Flexible, Washable, Soft & Breathable, Dual Arch Support

BURPEES \ Burpees are a huge calorie burner as they work your legs, chest and core and really get that heart rate going.

JUMP SQUATS \ Jump squats engage your lower body, especially those quads. Enjoy the heart rate spike and the leg burn.

PUSH-UPS \ Push-ups are a simple (simple, not easy!) and effective upper body and core exercise with plenty of variations for an added challenge.

MAT-BASED WORKOUT \ You don’t always need to be dripping with sweat or gasping for air for your workout to be effective.

A lower-impact workout that works your whole body, a Pilates-style, mat-based routine can be incredibly effective. With compound movements that rely on multiple muscle groups, this helps you to work more than one area at once. Add in some isolation exercises to tone up target areas and feel that deep burn.

These workouts are included in my online programs and have become favourites among my 28ers because you can do them just about anywhere.

So, now that I’ve given you so many great options, you really have no excuse not to get active! ●

STAIRS \ Running stairs is a great workout that

● 28bysamwood.com

SPLIT LUNGE JUMPS \ Lunges work your lower body but also help to improve your balance and coordination. Jumping to alternate each leg seriously gets your heart pumping.

MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS \ Mountain climbers

target your obliques, glutes and hamstrings and the fast-paced motion delivers a solid workout. This is definitely an exercise I love to hate.

CAITLIN MILLS

pushes your heart rate to the max and works multiple leg muscles. Mix it up by running one step a time, then two and even three (safety permitting!).

Jog down and allow your heart rate to drop slightly before going again.

The same family who originally built this period home will soon hand the keys to new owners for the first time.

Looking at the well-maintained period facade, it’s clear the house has been lovingly cared for over its almost 100-year existence. Renovations over time have kept the interiors up to date but in keeping with the original design.

The front door opens onto a central hallway connecting the home’s three bedrooms and formal lounge. The formal lounge sits at the front and includes beautiful period features such as a warm timber open fireplace, decorative ceiling, timber flooring and timber framed leadlight windows on the south and east facing walls.

The main bedroom has similar decorative features but is carpeted, has built-in-wardrobes and a darker colour palette. The remaining two bedrooms are almost equal in size, although one does not have built-in-wardrobes.

The bathroom is at the centre of the home to conveniently service all bedrooms and the living areas. It has been renovated to feature beige tiles, a built-in bath and timber vanity, but has further scope for a modern makeover.

At the end of the central hallway is the living domain of the home. The kitchen and lounge area adjoin one another under a pitched ceiling, with an outlook via full-height windows to the north-facing garden behind. Features of the kitchen include a recycled brick mantlepiece around the oven, stone-top island bench with built-in storage, tiled floor area, stainless steel cooktop and oven, and walk-in-pantry.

Off the living area is a defined dining room and a separate

Working in a small team, you will be highly motivated to get the job done and you’ll also have excellent time management. You aren’t precious about sticking to exactly what’s on your job description either – being a small office, it would great to see you roll your sleeves up and help out in other areas when things get busy.

Employment

You have a very high level of customer service, with exceptional communication skills – both written and verbal - and an understanding of basic accounting and bookkeeping skills. If you can speak fluent German that would be an added bonus (as the Head Offices for both businesses are located in Germany), but it’s not a deal breaker. We also don’t expect anyone to have a working knowledge of our products, so you will receive training where required.

If you’re looking for a diverse and challenging role that will keep you on your toes, we look forward to hearing from you!
