KATE SHANASY

How many holidays did you plan, and then cancel, in 2020? My count is about four. After the year started with bushfires devastating many of the country’s regional towns, we were asked to travel locally, and just as we booked our Airbnbs, the pandemic made even that impossible. But Victorians are holidaying again, and – as this week’s cover star Catriona Rowntree attests – it is now more important than ever to support our regions. Rowntree is set to be back on our screens for the 30th anniversary of Getaway, and talks about her year spent at home near Little River, and her love of the country. ●

“This is the first time I have made something that references a work directly,” says Arsham, who visited the NGV a year ago. “The drapery in the sculptures also stem from the paintings of this period. I like the way the light plays on the fabric and in a sculptural form; it comes alive by way of movement in a way you don’t really expect.” Arsham also looks at race and representation in European paintings via his life-size works. We’re obsessed with the Falling Clock installation too.

1. DANIEL ARSHAM \ HIDDEN FIGURES, LEVEL 2 & 3

New York-based artist Daniel Arsham has designed an apocalyptic car for Porsche, counts Dior Hommes’ Kim Jones as a close friend and returned to his love of painting during lockdown. His works at the Triennial reveal his grand sculptural elegance – the four human-scaled figures riff on the works of two famed paintings in the NGV Collection: Giambattista Tiepolo’s The Banquet of Cleopatra 1743–44 and Nicolas Régnier’s Hero and Leander c.1625–26.

2. CECILIE BENDIXEN \ CLOUD FORMATIONS

Hot art in the city

Voluminous clouds created by Danish architect Cecilie Bendixen take a flighty turn, absorbing sound while making you aware of the space.

“They’re also designed to give hope,” says Bendixen. “We worked on various formations – from small clouds to larger ones before this final product. The clouds required 14 machinists to sew the fabric together over five months; the needle and thread work was very intense,” she says. Sound, light and wind are poetically interwoven for a pensive moment at the NGV. She fuses elements of architecture, textiles and craft to hone her artistic voice.

3. MISAKI KAWAI

Nothing says playful like Japanese artist Misaki Kawai’s furry sculptures of dogs and a puppet studio. It’s aimed at kids, but adults will love it too. “I like fluffy, hairy and goofy things,” says Kawai. “My friend’s dogs Arty, Raisin, Snowy, Bertie and Potato inspired the sculptures.” Kawai found a love of art via creative parents – a mother who took her to puppet shows and a father who painted landscapes using watercolours on weekends. She fuses all that is kooky and cute with a dash of comedy. Kawai is inspired by the kitsch packaging you’ll find on vegetable, fruit and medicine boxes, as well as the Osaka comedy scene.

ore than 90 artists from 30 countries – including 30 newly commissioned works – are on show at the NGV Triennial on St Kilda Road. The ambitious exhibition is broadly built around themes of illumination, reflection, conservation and speculation.

Installations take over the gallery and merge with existing collections throughout. This is a multi-level and sensory mix of art, contemporary architecture and design that is best experienced at your own pace and in no particular order. Trust the energy.

Architect and industrial designer Ilan El moved to Melbourne from Tel Aviv in 2005. The interactive Ora Light is all about channelling an emotive response through the medium. “We all experience colour in different ways,” says El, who completed his master’s at RMIT and specialises in lighting design. “Ora is taken from a Hebrew word that means light and I have always been interested in the human connection to light and our behavioural responses when we are around it,” he says of the work he created in 2008 and brought to life in 2020. “When I put the Ora light on in my home, I find my happy place.” ● NGV TRIENNIAL \ Until April 18.

COVER STORY Catriona Rowntree returns

from the country for Getaway’s 30th birthday.

C

atriona Rowntree usually spends much of her time travelling somewhere exotic for work, but in the year that was 2020, she swapped long hauls for country life, finding somewhat of a silver lining.

The respected TV presenter, who returns with the 30th anniversary of Channel Nine’s Getaway this month, lives on a sheep-and-grain property near Little River at the foothills of the You Yangs in Victoria, with her husband James Pettit and their two sons. She spent much of last year slowing down, realigning work-life balance and exploring her love of the veggie garden.

“Yes, I was one of those people who raced to the hardware store and got the last of the seedlings,” Rowntree says.

“Like a lot of people, 2020 was very challenging on a multitude of levels.

“Professionally it was a radical change for me.

I went through all the motions and processed sadness, frustration and acceptance and came out the other side able to see again.”

This year Getaway – the longest-running traveland-lifestyle program on television – will showcase our own backyard, encouraging Australians to travel locally, with some international destinations for inspiration featured too. Rowntree has been able to get back on the road with another TV show in the interim – Country Home Hunters, filmed in regional Australia – and it has been her saving grace.

“I knew after the drought and bushfires I would commit to do what I could for regional areas,” Rowntree says. “I have learned about earthing [walking barefoot to connect with the earth] and have a new appreciation for being able to sink my feet in some grass, seeing much of the countryside.”

She says as much as the pandemic has changed the way people travel, they still want to do it, even if that means swapping Europe for Euroa.

“Getaway is testament that we never get sick of travelling; the fact it has survived as long as it has is proof that, while we all love armchair travel, we also like to get amongst it to see Australia for ourselves.

Now is the best time to do it.”

The 48-year-old remembers visiting the rural Victorian property she now calls home some 20 years ago when she first met her husband’s family.

“His parents lived in a beautiful historic home built for the Armytage family whose city home was Como House [in South Yarra]. It was a beautiful bluestone building and James lived in the main homestead,” Rowntree says.

“He took me around the derelict cottages, not a blade of grass in sight. The cracks in the walls were so big you could fit your entire arm,” she recalls. “It’s where they kept rams and pet emus. James looked at me and said, ‘One day, I will do this up and it’s where I’ll live.’ I replied ‘Good luck finding that girl who will live here with you,’” Rowntree says.

But, sure enough, she was the one helping him create a slice of regional paradise, a task that took them five years – until 2020 – to complete.

“I never saw myself as a country girl, I am still a city chick inside,” says Rowntree, who tied the knot in 2008. “But I have loved having the space to move on the property with the boys.”

“If we can all get behind the communities who suffered, to get back on their feet after the bushfires and drought and now the pandemic, it’s what we need to be doing.”

Rowntree’s first Getaway assignment in the ’90s was a trip to Tasmania and the last before lockdown was to Chile and Patagonia.

She’s been everywhere from South America to Europe and explored plenty of Australia, too.

Antarctica sits highly on her to-do list – but she’s not sure when that trip will happen.

“My work life barely altered after the Gulf War happened and after the tragedy of the Twin Towers,” says Rowntree, who would travel 42 weeks a year in the 2000s. “But the pandemic changed everything.”

Rowntree is passionate about supporting small towns in Victoria and the rest of the country.

“Regional travel is so important right now. If we can all get behind the communities who suffered, to get back on their feet after the bushfires and drought and now the pandemic, it’s what we need to be doing.”

Today she is sitting on her large verandah overlooking a Mediterranean-style garden filled with French lavender and roses – her own slice of Provence. A rattan daybed – a wedding gift from friend and designer Paul Bangay – sits prettily.

She hasn’t let go of that city chick entirely, having purchased her first Melbourne apartment during the pandemic.

“Yep, I did the opposite to what many people have done, I bought a place and I’m actually excited about it,” says Rowntree, who chose an off-the-plan residence in an Spring Street building across from Treasury Gardens, due to be completed next year.

“Who doesn’t love a city escape? I am sure we will put it to good use,” she says. ● GETAWAY \ From February 27 at 5.30pm on Nine.

Giving booze the flick

DRINK

Going sober for Febfast? These Melbourne non-alcoholic drink-makers have you covered. Wo r d s S U E S M E T H U RS T

Sam Manning of Monday Distillery.

HAILS & SHINE

S

am Manning loved the taste of gin but hated the fogginess that lingered after she’d enjoyed her favourite drinks.

When she made the decision to go alcohol-free, prompted by a desire for better health and wellbeing, it changed her life in ways she couldn’t imagine.

While she initially laughed off the sideways glances and cheeky “party pooper” remarks, and worse still, the queries over whether she was pregnant, she couldn’t get past the fact there was little on offer from her favourite bars and restaurants for those taking a break from the booze.

So, with a background in botanicals and beverages and buoyed by a strong entrepreneurial spirit, Sam and her partner Haydn Farley created Monday Distillery in Geelong, setting out to make a drink with all the “emotional connection, taste and vibe” of Sam’s favourite gin and tonic, but

without the sugar and the messy effects of alcohol.

“The choices were limited to sickly sugar drinks or flavoured sparkling water,” Sam explains, “as soon as we created the range the questions flipped from ‘Why are you drinking that?’ to ‘Oh, can I have that?’”

Monday Distillery and others, like NON wines, Mornington Peninsula’s ETCH Sparkling and Brunswick Aces have found a market.

According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 23 per cent of Australians do not drink alcohol and we’ve been progressively turning to low or non-alcohol beverages over the last decade.

Retailers Dan Murphy’s and BWS have seen sales of non-alcoholic drinks more than double in the past year, becoming one of the fastest-growing categories.

“This is definitely the tip of the iceberg; choosing not to drink alcohol will become easier into the future.”

AARON TROTMAN, NON WINES

While much of the credit for the interest in alcohol-free should go to the impact of campaigns such as Febfast, Dry July and OcSober, and social movements such as Hello Sunday Morning, perhaps the greatest influence comes from the fact that these beverages actually taste great.

“I believe that this is just the beginning of a boom in non-alcoholic beverages,” says Aaron Trotman, who with his mate, chef William Wade, created the NON range of alcohol-free wines.

It was while working at Copenhagen’s famed Michelin-starred restaurant, Noma, that William Wade (who has since left NON for other ventures) began to see the social shift. Noma was one of the first restaurants in the world to offer a non-alcoholic drinks range paired to the menu. Preparing the carefully curated beverages was time-consuming, but diners loved the offering.

Trotman could see a gap in the market for a bottled non-alcoholic range that offered restaurants ease of pouring and storage. Using the traditional tisane method of infusing of fruit, herbs and spices, they created artisan flavours like salted raspberry and chamomile, roast beetroot and sansho (Japanese pepper), and lemon marmalade and hibiscus, replicating the taste of aperitivo, sparkling shiraz and dry white.

“We started NON in response to what we saw as a growing movement of people drinking less,” he says.

“We wanted to develop a range of drinks as complex as their alcoholic counterparts, which would allow non-drinkers to feel included around a dinner table or at a party.

“Non-alcoholic drinks are very popular with Millennials and Gen Zs who understand that their drunken antics can be recorded and live on forever through social media, so they choose to abstain from alcohol and actively seek out alternatives.”

Like Monday Distillery, NON’s sassy packaging and clever social branding instantly grabbed attention. Their initial batches were snapped up by leading restaurants all over Australia, and the range is now stocked all over the country.

“As people start to try new things and look for even more variety, we are spurred on to innovate and come up with ever more interesting products. This is definitely the tip of the iceberg; choosing not to drink alcohol will become easier into the future.” ●

W E L L D O N E to the St Columba’s College class of 2020, who persevered and finished off an extraordinary year with a median study score of 33 and 70% of students receiving an ATAR over 70.

A big congratulations to College Dux Janeca Cabanayan, who achieved an incredible ATAR of 99.2.

The St Columba’s College community wishes you all the best in 2021 and beyond.

umber 100 Kerr Street, Fitzroy, is a cursed hospitality site: Grill’d didn’t work there; Vegan restaurant Euro Kitchen lasted about a year. So, when Tom Peasnell from Dexter, Takeaway Pizza, Kenny Lover and Dom’s (formerly Cheek and Peaches) opened Nico’s Sandwich Deli with Leo Thompson (ex-Brother Baba Budan) in November 2020, he figured it would close in March when the short-term lease ended. But Fitzroy voted with its stomach, and Nico’s is staying for good.

Under the extended summer licence, there’s room for 44 people outside on electric-blue stools beneath matching umbrellas, though that will eventually reduce to 28. The brick shopfront and garage roller door are painted the same characteristic colour, with vintage-style lettering promising “hot coffee and sandwiches”. There are five sandwiches to choose from, plus weekend specials advertised on A2 posters and Instagram.
