KYLE DOBIE

There were two people I wanted to be when I grew up. One was Penny from Inspector Gadget, the other was presenter Livinia Nixon. She only has a few birthdays on me, so when she joined Hey Hey It’s Saturday in 1997, I was only one of many teens who aspired to her natural confidence and genuine effervescence. Those qualities are still her signature. TV is cutthroat but as Channel Nine newsreader Peter Hitchener attests in this week’s feature story, toasting her 20 years with Nine, what you see on screen of Nixon is what you get.

That’s rare in any walk of life, let alone on telly. Congrats, Livinia. ●

Livinia Nixon’s Melbourne

J U LIA N KI N G M A

L

ivinia Nixon remembers it like it was yesterday, when she got the call to be the sidekick on Hey Hey It’s Saturday alongside Daryl Somers in 1997.

At the time Nixon, now 44, had been studying a double degree of commerce/arts at Deakin University, majoring in marketing and Chinese.

She had planned to have a career in international trade but in a real sliding doors moment after she took that call, a business career wasn’t to be.

Instead Nixon, who had been modelling and working on a children’s TV show that was also made

by Somers’ production company Somers Carroll, took the role and followed in the footsteps of Denise Drysdale, Jacki MacDonald and Jo Beth Taylor.

It was a huge risk looking back, considering Hey Hey It’s Saturday was a national obsession and those three had long and established careers.

“I think when you are at that age, you feel like you can tackle anything,” Nixon says of the early days of Hey Hey. “In a sense that kind of became my armour, because I didn’t really sit around and think about how big it was.

“Maybe it was a coping mechanism and that was my way of not letting it sink in that there’s too many people watching it, and if you make a mistake, your career is gone.”

broadcast industry. Such a long-standing team is very rare in Australian television.

Reading the weather is a job that Nixon adores, as much as working with Jones and Hitchener.

“I think we all just bring something different to the table and we all really enjoy each other’s company and we have fun together,” she says.

“I think the viewers are smart enough to sense that and they see it on their TV screens.”

Hitchener says Nixon is not only a great presenter but a wonderful person when the cameras are off.

“She is one of a kind and just so delightful,” he says. “She is even more divine and nicer in real life then she is on TV. “We have known each other for years and worked together for many years, and we have never had an argument and we never will.”

Nixon grew up in a beautiful home in Toorak (pictured left and on the cover) that her mother still lives in.

She was educated at Armadale’s Lauriston Girls’ School, where she says she was a painfully shy teenager, especially around the boys on the tram.

Nixon enjoyed drama and, like many, admits she struggled her way through mathematics.

She remembers fondly coming home from school to the environment her mother Helen was very particular about nurturing.

Favourite restaurant “Cafe di Stasio. Amazing food and service, and old-world charm.

I love it.”

Place of quiet reflection “Watching a sunset anywhere. It’s peaceful, it’s constantly changing and surprising.”

Must-visit for culture “I love the National Gallery of Victoria.

The art is intriguing and always changing and there are so many styles you can visit in the one moment.”

nutrition. “She’s always sending articles about that and it’s great to have a person in your life at this time that can feed you that information,” Nixon says.

During the week it’s a regular routine for Nixon in the makeup chair, preparing to present the weather, but in the mornings she enjoys being an everyday school mum.

She drops off the kids at school and picks them up on a Friday when she has the afternoon free.

“We have known each other for years and worked together for many years, and we have never had an argument and we never will.”

Nixon says Somers was a true gentleman in how he helped her to learn the business of television along the way. “He was wonderful and very generous, really,” she says. “I felt like I could always ask him questions about how to deliver things, and he had a great team around him.”

Hey Hey It’s Saturday finished a couple of years later, but in that time Nixon made a real impact and was signed by Channel Nine in 1999.

Ever since she has been part of Melbourne lives on television and radio, this year celebrating 20 years at Nine – the past 18 of those reading the weather on the nightly news alongside Peter Hitchener and Tony Jones.

Nine Melbourne’s 6pm team of Hitchener, Jones and Nixon and their chemistry are envied in the

“Once you come down the steps it really is like a little oasis,” she says.

“My mum has spent a lot of time and energy creating that.”

Her mother worked hard to establish a home and lifestyle for her children that was akin to a sanctuary.

“When I was a school she was always doing reiki on us and Chinese medicine,” Nixon says.

“She was really ahead of her time, she’s very into natural healing and organic food.”

Nixon is married to builder, construction and property developer Alistair Jack, and the couple have two children, Henry, 9, and Ted, 6.

Nixon’s mother is still looking after her and her boys when it comes to alternative medicine and

PETER HITCHENER

“I like going into the classroom and having a chat to the teacher and knowing who all their friends are,” she says.

“I just like being involved their worlds, I think I’m a bit obsessed with them.”

As well as the news Nixon has worked long stints on breakfast radio, and the Postcards and Getaway shows for Nine.

Nixon has lost count of the amount of countries she has filmed in, with Japan being her favourite.

But this is something she never takes for granted.

Add a published children’s author to her CV, and it has been a very successful media career for someone who was close to a job in the business sector had Somers and Hey Hey not come calling.

“I have been absolutely blessed,” Nixon says. ●

Stop the presses

FOOD The end of an era as George Calombaris shutters the pioneering Press Club.

REBECCA NEWMAN

N

o one could ever accuse George Calombaris of lacking enthusiasm. That heel-bouncing “Tigger�-like energy on unflagging display throughout 11 seasons of MasterChef ? It’s real.

Even when he’s talking about closing his flagship restaurant The Press Club after 12 years, the man is enthusiastic.

Calombaris is excited about what the future holds, proud of what the restaurant achieved and of “all the awesome people that have gone on to do their own thing who have been a big part of the fabric of The Press Club�.

He’s even enthusiastic about how emotional he’s been closing this chapter of his career because without this pioneering CBD restaurant, “nothing I did that came after it would have existed�.

So why is Calombaris closing The Press Club?

Why do you shutter the restaurant that put you on the map and revolutionised the way Greek food was perceived in Melbourne by redefining it in a fine

dining context? The way he tells it, his work with The Press Club is done.

“In the beginning all I wanted was a restaurant that could make people happy but would also put my culture in terms of food on the map,” he says.

“As an Aussie-Greek boy who grew up in an era where being Greek wasn’t cool, I was frustrated and wanted to change that. I’m proud that 90 per cent of our customer base were not Greeks.

“The ancient Greeks were forward thinkers, they were creative, they were leaders. I think The Press Club has done that in some ways, thanks to the incredible team both past and present.

“But I remember in the early days sitting there with Angie [Giannakodakis, now owner of Epocha and Elyros restaurants] at the end of every service like two depressed people going: ‘Why are they laughing at us because we have Greek wine in the wine list? What do we have to do?’

“But we kept persisting and now people understand Greek food and there’s Greek wine on the wine lists of restaurants that aren’t even Greek.

“So, for me now, it’s time to remove the pressure of keeping things at that level and that standard.

Wo r d s

MICHAEL HARDEN

“This thing called The Press Club has been with me for a third of my time on this earth.

“I’m not so interested any more in which side your food’s been served on or if you have a black napkin for people who are wearing black clothes.

All that frippery and bollocks is gone as far as I’m concerned.

“Dining has changed in the past 12 years. I like where food is now, at a place where you can just concentrate on the deliciousness.”

Fans of The Press Club have until the end of June to get their fill in the restaurant that Calombaris says “looks like what I thought Onassis’ yacht would look like”.

“We’re doing a greatest hits menu for the rest of the time we’re open,” he says. “Every week a dish from before has come on and people are really enjoying revisiting the saganaki martini and the Greek salad where we break it down to all its separate components.

“What’s really incredible to me right now is the

amount of people trying to get in to have their last piece of The Press Club. That’s lovely and it goes to show it has affected people in some shape or form.”

So what is the next chapter for Calombaris and his stable of restaurants that includes Gazi and multiple versions of Hellenic Republic and his souvlaki chain Jimmy Grants?

“Our focus now is moving the whole team over to Gazi and creating Gazi 2.0, which is basically going to be the Reuben [Davis, executive chef] and Joey [Commerford, manager] show with Vanessa Crichton, our general manager, adding her amazing touch to it too,” he says.

“The menu is shaping up to be a ripper and we are giving the whole place a facelift. I look at it as removing the shackles and history of The Press Club to allow all the other guys to flourish. I’m going to be the bass player rather than the lead singer.

“I feel free again. I feel like I did 12 and a half years ago when I wrote the script for The Press Club. It’s bloody exciting.” ● THE PRESS CLUB \ 72 Flinders Street, Melbourne.

first tried this Thai yellow crab curry dish at a small restaurant called Kin Dee in Phuket earlier this year. Kin Dee is a local, standalone hideaway family restaurant. You get a sense of cosiness as you walk into the restaurant, which is built under a shack – you know the food is going to be authentic.

This place has lots of character and the delicious food speaks for itself. Apart from serving local Phuket cuisine, there is live seafood and more traditional Thai dishes on the menu.

This southern golden curry is usually served with rice vermicelli noodles. Containing an intense level of turmeric and chilli, the traditional style also features large portions of blue swimmer crab and wild pepper leaf. I loved how they served the vermicelli noodles in spindles; they mop up all the goodness at the bottom of the bowl.

It’s definitely one of my top dishes I’ve had in Thailand so far. ●

Renovated with a lot of style and a touch of whimsy, this Californian bungalow in a brilliant Fairfield location offers family living at its best.

Diamond leadlight windows and excellent proportions make a very attractive facade. In the front section of the house are three bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, a bathroom, and a formal lounge with a cosy open fireplace and built-in bookshelves.

The rear section of the home is full of light and sunshine and will work well for an indoor/outdoor lifestyle when summer comes around again.

The living, dining and kitchen area is a dramatic space with pine-lined cathedral ceilings, cork floors and double doors to the deck. The white kitchen with grey benchtops has European appliances.

There is a deck on three sides of the living area and, at one corner, a two-storey octagonal tower with a lot of charm and windows all around. On the ground floor, it is an additional living room or playroom and, on the first floor, the bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and en suite has great neighbourhood views.

Nothing says family home like a cubby in the garden and this one is a beauty – all dark and mysterious, draped with Virginia creeper, and with a little climbing wall.

Throughout the house, the style is light and airy with white paintwork contrasting with the original pine floors in the period section and the timber ceilings at the rear. It is fitted with Velux windows, has a workshop in the garage and a

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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;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,â&#x20AC;? 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. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seeing my patientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bright smiles after surgery, as they stop squinting and can read without glasses, is deďŹ nitely the best part of my job.â&#x20AC;?

No referral is needed and no out-of-pocket expenses are incurred for an assessment to enable all options available to be considered.
